I’m so relieved that I didn’t have to be that guy. Seriously, I don’t mind odd choices of map projections every now and then, but using the Mercator projection to illustrate how far away an arctic archipelago is from the mainland is possibly the worst application in the history of the Internet.

I’m actually more fine with these kinds of things, since it’s pretty obvious that it’s not what the game will look like. It should be viewed as “inspiration material” for your imagination, or something. Same thing with the ones in the header picture.

I got “our” $400 console as a Christmas gift for my gf last year, when I had a steady job. When we moved together, it became ours together with her not-very-amazing tv that she bought as a student. I have broadband, but not a PS subscription. I lost my job earlier this summer, and when I signed a contract for a new…

The whole “eat my flesh” thing makes so much more sense if you interpret the last supper to be a prudishly censored re-telling of a gay orgy.

NMS developers take note: All robotic voices in the future will be female voices with a british accents, THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. The one in Wipeout HD is even better than this one, though.

I would pay good money to see “scientologists vs lions”. Particularly if they include their stress testing device.

In the case of NMS, don’t forget that Murray literally said that “planets and animals will get weirder the closer to the center of the galaxy you get”.

In the same sense that you can also sit and stare at a blank wall for an infinite amount of hours, yes.

Sideways and one-by-one.

In space, you need to dodge asteroids while going slow, yet when you activate the pulse engine the ship’s auto pilot presumably does it for you. There could be a similar function in the atmosphere. If you go slowly, you can go as low as you like (which would let you scout for animals and resources better), yet if you…

You’re wrong about Koenigsegg focusing on speed. Speed =/= acceleration.

I’m a passionate evangelist of the manual transmission. Driving around a track or on a curvy road is so much more fun if you’re in charge of the gearbox.

I’ve visited multiple car manufacturers where you’ve had to leave your phone or laptop by the door if they were equipped with cameras. The company I worked for started manually removing webcams from laptops since it became impossible to buy one without. They don’t screw around when it comes to industrial espionage.

This sounds like exactly what I was hoping for.

Considering all the stuff that Torch has gotten approved, it’s difficult to imagine what this might be. The “yuck” factor alone is apparently not enough, so my guess is that it’s either something sexual (Run a car on semen? What would cars look like if they had boobs? Can you convert breast milk to bio-fuel, and just…

If this was a story about how a car collector with a good track record as a Ferrari owner was denied, you’d bet the comment section would be full of people voicing their disapproval with Ferrari’s selection process.

I absolutely disagree with the idea that wealth is intimately connected to a sensible use of money, of course. It’s every bit as important what class you are born into, what education you get, and how lucky you are. Then one should add that some decisions are more difficult when you’re poor (buying large quantities of…

Anyone who has the basic competence required to go around a race track.

So if you go on a rollercoaster ride, with no control of the machinery and left to trust a maintenance crew mostly composed by teenagers, you’re a lunatic?

Damn it, Jason, I got to the solitaire one before I realised that it’s all a figment of your imagination. And I wanted that Myst car bad enough to start thinking about building a replica.
