Right, which as I said, is part of the appeal. Here’s a company whose only previous performance/luxury model was the barely known K900, which looked more like a middling copy of other, more desirable luxury cars, so the Stinger being a performance car with some looks to match and a comfortable ride is an interesting…

It’s an interesting, relatively affordable sedan with some solid touring chops and a pretty sweet mill in the GT trims. Given that it’s coming from a company mostly known stateside for making ‘interesting’ but not particularly luxurious cars, it’s a bit of an unusual addition to their stable, so there’s something of a…

What a beauty. How are you liking it?

Respect knucks. There’s something to be said for mixed media experiences like films and games that aren’t trying to tell a traditional story, but rather put you through an experience.

Honestly, I’d buy it just for the fact that the interior looks to be in fantastic shape for its age, and yeah, the engine likely having a laundry list taped to the heads does make for a damn fine excuse to swap it. Usually when I find ‘needs some work’ cars at this price by me, the interiors are shot, the paint is…

All excellent points in favor of the platform. Even as a Sony fan, I want Microsoft’s platform to succeed, both because they’ve given us PC gamers some interesting titles recently and because we need them to keep Sony hungry, innovative, and fairly priced.

Fair enough, but knowing about the problem and addressing it are two distinct matters, and gamers are impatient, fickle folk. Microsoft has had, what, 4 years to address the problem? They’ve delayed Crackdown 3 into Duke Nukem Forever status, cancelled Scalebound(likely a huge mistake considering how well Platinum’s…

Interesting. You’re right, that is complicated. A good part of your nation’s people want to maintain some level of sovereignty and national identity, which clashes with the people who think the nation would be better off being absorbed into the US, with all of the political and cultural shifts that would entail, but…

At this point, I feel like they’ve given up on being a leader and are settling for having decent market capture from their community to see them through. It does raise questions regarding what the intended great leap forward will be once we’re done piddling about with these mid-gen hardware refreshes, and if they plan…

Speaking as an adjacent-Volvo owner(it’s my wife’s ride), our roads in Mississippi probably qualify as off roading. First thing we did in it was go on vacation to Alabama, and crossing the state line was like leaving the DMZ.

Let’s see here.

Agreed. The amount of shit I had to learn at 30 about my first credit card from my spouse who had multiple CCs was staggering.

Not him, but we had a whiteboard of shame, as well as a full-on blacklist. Technically both were against company policy, but it was prudent considering what happened to multiple drivers over the years.

That’s something I haven’t had to think about in a while, but I got molested a couple of times at my delivery job 8 years ago, and once ended up delivering to an area that was blackballed by every delivery joint in town after sundown because of how many muggings happened there. People abusing delivery drivers is a…

This season’s looking pretty limp unless you’re a multiplayer fan or own a Switch. Just as well, Q1 of next year is looking much more favorable for people like me, and I’ll have some more time to save up for the veritable flood of good games rolling in.

Amen to that. He’s been one of the hardest working composers in the industry for decades, and him taking a few months off to focus on himself is the bare minimum he deserves for everything he’s given the world.

It’s a totally fair complaint, which I think was bolstered by the fact that they weren’t expecting to get a second season, so a lot of the mysteries that were meant to be left hanging suddenly had a need to be resolved. Still, it’s one of my favorites. The mech design is top notch, the city is gorgeous beyond belief,…

I’d recommend a show contemporary to Bebop, The Big O, if you somehow never saw it. Smart, funny, stylish as all get out, and soaked in a deco noir artstyle you’ll likely recognize from Batman: The Animated Series, with which it shared at least part of the animation department. Also there’s like sweet giant robots and…

About time. Great game, super in-depth mechanics, and then it flips the script on you about 8 hours in by punishing you for abusing the hero movement system. Keep in cover, abuse enemy lines of sight, and lay out the fancy run and jumps when you know you’re guaranteed a kill.

Comedy beats are okay, story passable I guess, VA work is pretty strong, but the animation makes me want to hold onto a toilet bowl until the nausea passes. Who signed off on this finished product and said, “yes, this looks fine. Totally will meet the expectations of an audience expecting a successor to AtLA, or at…
