While driving too slow in traffic can be a hazard, the general concept of “going with the flow” of traffic isn’t going to get you out of a speeding ticket.

I feel a lot of series suffer from a lack of foresight and follow through. I imagine that many series are picked up because they are led by strong conceptualists that start with good ideas, but end up throwing too many balls in the air never intending to catch them before they hit the ground.

I am certain this has diminishing returns. If you live 3-5 miles from work, I can see it being a huge benefit. but I live 45 miles from work and I guarantee that my quality of life will nose dive when I increase my commute from 60 minutes to 2 hours. Actually who am I kidding, I will not be able to keep a 20-25mph…

One of the best ways to soundproof is called a staggered (or double-stud) wall. A conventional 2x4 wall uses 2x4 studs and 2x4 sole plate and top plates where drywall is mounted on both sides of the studs. This means that any vibrations that occur on one side of the wall travels directly from the drywall to the stud…

I would worry a bit about a soundproofing scheme that makes the whole wall into a single vibrating object. If you are building from scratch, you should consider alternating offset studs that are not coupled together—sheetrock for one room is screwed to one set of studs, sheetrock for the other room is screwed to a…

Level-5’s genius was in the details they put in, and they actually managed to get DQ IX to look pretty close to VIII on the DS in that sense, so it’ll definitely look quite nice on the 3DS.

The US PS2 version already had the symphonic soundtrack.

We didn’t have them in Arizona but I agree they would be a great option for a porch or otherwise screened in area.

The success of these games proves they’re profitable...

Nintendo’s not finished, but it’s original ethos of being for the consumer is long gone.

agreed, i was torn between the two until i realised i could just put any desktop cpu in the alpha plus play games at pretty decent setting, also good luck finding the m.2 ssd drives you need for the current NUC....

HOLD ON.

Not t mention saving Malik non-lethal *and Ghost*.

I played the game all the way through twice and did non-lethal both times. I had to reload that part SOOO many times. The slight element of randomness really made it a bitch. Oh, and the fact that sometimes EMP grenades would kill people?

There’s that achievement where you have to beat the game without killing anyone. Includes the prologue where you are unaugmented and can’t melee =.=

The 3rd person switches always felt like an elegant solution to a fundamental problem with most gaming platforms. There is something fundamentally uncomfortable about being limited to first person perspective without actually having real world peripheral vision (along with other sensory input)... particularly in a…

Same here, but I did find a replacement - this open-source Astrid-clone: Tasks.

I've had a rough two years. New job, awesome benefits, travel, upgrade in pay.. then management change the day I started.. it was 6 month countdown to my being laid off. Then it took 9 months to get another gig which only lasted 4 months, now just recently back at it full time, feeling like this will be the keeper.

Several years ago, I received unemployment benefits - another victim of the dot-com bubble bursting. Application was simple enough, I showed up to the regional unemployment benefits office, sat in their instructional lecture (some were less-than-enthused to be there), and knew what I had to do to receive benefits…
