No, it looked much worse on the Avenger, Caliber and Dart.

So did you pronounce it "Yalopnik" when you answered his question? Are we all now a bunch of yalops to Winterkorn?

Seriously, how many more of these would they sell if they got rid of the predator grill? What a huge improvement.

I actually agree with you - if I ever get one, I want it to look like yours. Just poking you in good fun about the big Porsche is all.

Don't forget the Turbo 4S

You mean except for the enormous engine-cover-wide PORSCHE screaming the brand at anyone behind you? Yep, no need for a little chrome piece.

Porsche leaves it entirely up to the customer to choose from a variety of badges. If you see a mess of wordshit on the back of someone's new 911, it's because they chose to have it that way. On the flip side, they're the only car company I know of that makes de-badging an official option when you buy the car.

He didn't evade the question, because Valve makes money from Steam not hardware. The Steambox initiative isn't an attempt by Valve to become a hardware company. Rather they are just setting a template for hardware companies to follow. Valve's got negligible risk in this since all they have to do is keep doing what…

There definitely is an imbalance between griefer assholes and decent humans working together, but a band of people attempting to play honorably can do alright. I definitely wouldn't describe it as deathmatch, though. Resources are too scarce and death too likely. The pariah players generally prey on the weak and…

The remarkable thing about DayZ is that griefers can't ruin the game, they are basically a character class in it. Normal griefing is assholes ruining games for decent people, but in DayZ they are just the in-game villains because that's what their naturally sociopathic selves become.

If they make money by competing in a way that extends their adolescence rather than get a grown-up job, let's call it a sport. These "journalists" figured out a way to make money watching and talking about games, other people make money from playing them. Who in this scenario has the high ground to talk about the…

Since rational responses don't work on an emotional adult, why are they likely to work better on an emotional child? This seems like more of a technique for parents to keep themselves disciplined than to change behavior in the child. Seems like it might do that quite well. I'll try it out tonight.

It's hard to say what Americans would or wouldn't do. At this point, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Subtitled films don't get wide theatrical distribution, so they don't get big marketing budgets, so they don't get publicized to those Americans who may or may not go see them under other circumstances.

But that's what businesses do. They place orders with manufacturers for what they think they can sell to their customers. I'm sure her vendors were eager to make whatever she wanted if it meant selling more product. It's not as if they were engaged in some ancient sacred ritual - they were making tchochkes to sell.…

Err...like the flag of the USA and the insignia of the US Army and US Air Force?

Yeah, let's get rid of Metacritic and go back to the old ways when a developer lived or died entirely on sales. Now that they have Metacritic as a backup metric, they can make a great game that sells poorly and might not go out of business (if their revenue is indexed to Metacritic numbers). Let the money speak! …

LEGO is a corporate trademark and I'm not in the habit of thinking that the English language should develop in a way mindful of a particular business' preference. As evidenced by its popular usage on this page, plenty of people are content to call them legos. Your contention that it is otherwise, that isn't the…

What do you imagine the reason for the law is? Laws like this normally exist to prevent businesses from sending out completely unwanted merchandise then charging the recipient for it if they keep it. Otherwise I could send you a console then follow up with a bill for $500 and you'd be on the hook for property you…

I have made a point of saying "Legos" ever since I saw a note from the head of Lego asking that people not call them that because they are "Lego" or "Lego Toys" and never just "Lego". What an asshat. Just because he created them doesn't mean he gets to control language. There is no failure to communicate…

Maybe my experience isn't typical, but it has been consistently playable for me since release day. Yes, the client and servers are unstable - in the course of a 3-4 hour session I'll usually experience a couple server crashes and one or two client crashes, but in the end I'm still spending most of my time playing and…
