I've retrained it a bunch of times. It was a lot more reliable before the 4.4 update. Sometimes it works flawlessly, sometimes I have to say "OK Google Now" like ten times before it registers, sometimes it just activates without me saying it at all. In a car it's worse. Maybe it's because of the vibration when I have

Facebook has a follow function now that works pretty much like you'd want it to for your ex example, and on Facebook they've added a lot of group and privacy sharing options that mean you can have only a subset of people see a post.

I was really excited about Google+ when it was launching, but the reason why it failed and I only know literally two people who actually use it on a regular basis is because Google thought it was still 2005 and exclusivity was a good idea. For Gmail, sure, that worked out. It's email. It doesn't matter if all your

It absolutely is. Still awesome though.

I love my Moto X so much, but I will say, the touchless voice control is so unbelievably unreliable when in a car that it's basically not even worth trying half the time. The driving assist feature that reads texts and calls to you is killer though.

Seriously, that would be awesome. I'm not sure how to work Kinja either—originally I was going to just send you a message in the first place but couldn't figure out how to do it. My email address is thomasella at gmail dot com.

Actually, I'd love to hear more. I don't want to start out by immediately side-stepping you, but any chance you can ask your friend who went to London how he/she landed it? I'm assuming it's with a postgraduate school to get a master's. I'm thinking that'll probably be my best option, but I just don't really know what

I miss when we used to call them "programs."

Yeah, I was really surprised just how long he spent on Metroid. I mean, honestly, including a trailer for Metroid Prime Trilogy and a speedrun for Super Metroid?

That video was weird. Like, it was interesting seeing a realistic take on "Facebook stalking" (she probably would've been weirded out by his gifts at the end though) but she also looked at his Twitter and he said he "met two girls today." Who's the second girl? Isn't she concerned at all? Guy seems like a player.

Most of those things the Moto X already does natively, and that's the phone I'm planning on getting soon (my first smartphone—I know, I know). The parking thing is pretty awesome though. Are there are apps that will do only that?

Oh, I'm not saying that Corn Love plays fair. Corn Love plays dirty. Real dirty.

The offline mode for an online-only game should just be doing other stuff.

"...should have been doing with the Xbox One!"

I actually really love that pricing strategy. I would totally pay $10 for the tennis and golf minigames so I can play them whenever. I played them both so much when I first had a Wii. They sold me on the system. But boxing, baseball and bowling are games I didn't care for all that much. I don't need those. But if I

You do realize that being impartial is a good thing, right?

Again, I'm not writing a news story or an article. I'm writing a comment and there's no impetus to be impartial in a comment. I'm not trying to hide anything. I could show you examples of writing similar to this article I've done where I'm impartial if you really wanted me to.

There's a difference between news and reviews. Look at Polygon. They write news stories and very rarely will they inject personal bias. It's refreshing.

It's almost like I'm not a professional games journalist getting paid to write an article and have no need to be impartial. But look, this is honestly the most balanced article I've ever read from Patricia, but because I know how she's written in the past and I know where she stands on all this, I can tell the little
