Fair enough, but to simply acknowledge the performance as one would any other impressive feat by talented young children is to entirely ignore the facts of existence. NK produces children like this, not as a celebration of the arts, but to be propaganda showpieces. Recognizing the talent is inextricable from…

Great game. In fact, due to the success of the OGRE Designer's Edition kickstarter, Steve Jackson game is going to be re-releasing it in a new edition in the near-ish future.

I, for one, object to the French appropriation of Croation neckwear. If you aren't a Croatian mercenary, you shouldn't be wearing a necktie - end of discussion.

I think if a person is pointing out traits of a highly dysfunctional society that they dislike, a totalitarian society that most humans find somewhat repugnant, you don't need to announce out that it is offensive or demeaning. That is very much the point. There are only a handful of people on the planet genuinely…

I can't quite bring myself to be a fan, but Red Bull's pit crew really earned my respect on Sunday. Before the race, they pulled out a car and kept doing practice stops. A couple of other teams eventually pulled out cars after a while and did one or two tire swaps before wheeling the car back in. Most teams didn't…

Thanks $kay! She might want to put the top up before she leaves. This time of year it can get a bit nippy.

So these guys don't wanna waste time on people who can't actually buy? What about buyers who don't want to waste time on cheap-ass "car companies" that can't even pony up $4.84/month for the Premium hosting package?

Yep, I'm a chucklehead. I was speaking about Turn 1, not realizing this was just about the next crash in lap 1. Having been present, I leapt to the (often mistaken) conclusion that I knew what I was talking about. I shoulda watched these vids before I started typing. I will stand by my more general points about…

Not exactly F1. Just the current Lotus car. They can't use the F1 name or logo anywhere and there are no other modern F1 cars that I know of. I'm not sure if KERS or DRS are implemented at all. Still, being able to run it around Laguna Seca or Sebring should be a blast. Codemasters doesn't have the freedom to…

Thrustmaster and Mad Catz have wheels that are either already out or due out in the next couple weeks. There don't seem to be any high-end wheels on the horizon, though.

You are right. There was, however, an equally big clusterfuck at turn 1 on the first lap.

How do you even get a race license without knowing that, right? That's the first thing you're taught.

I dragged my family to the race earlier than they wanted, just because I knew the Ferrari Challenge race was going to be like this. I promised mayhem and the semi-skilled rich men delivered. It was clear from the Friday practice I saw that most of these guys think they know it all. They would make the same obvious…

Haven't tried the DS4 yet, but I'm going to assume I'd find it too small. The X1 controller continue's the larger, more comfortable fit of the previous controller with subtly improved button position.

Hey, look at the upside. At least America rid itself of a few Cavaliers.

Owning a medallion is a business in and of itself. Once you own it, you have it forever. They are usually either owned by or leased to cab companies. Those cab companies will keep the medallion working 3 shifts a day until armageddon comes. Medallion owners can transfer the medallions, and can make quite a profit…

While detail might increase with the new generation. The color and contrast differences almost certainly come down to the fact that the last generation of consoles supported analog video output. And if you need to output an NTSC signal, you've got a much narrower color range to work in and your black level curves…

On kata alone, these guys suck. It was like watching a flock of geese mill around. WTF was that? No unison, no rhythm to their pace. Imprecise, sloppy movement. Ugh, it was exactly what a kata should not look like.

Right? I mean the market has always known that it's core audience of American male elementary and middle school students who play games after school on their Atari 2600s. The market decided this and there's no reason for the industry to examine it's choices. Clearly gamer culture has no room for serious sports…
