Those would be much cooler.

Other than Maldonado, who can be considered a pay driver in the current season? Sure, Alonso brought sponsorship with him, but he's not with Ferrari because of that.

There was one in Santa Monica.

I'm not sure that EA needs to tell us about games sooner. That's never been a weak area for them. Focus on quality and don't worry about additional pre-release marketing.

I would argue that the audience for Minecraft isn't casual gamers in the usual sense - very occasional players outside of the conventional gaming audience demographics. Minecraft largely pulls from a very traditional pool of gamers: kids. And they don't just play every once in a while; they play Minecraft as often…

I hope they aimed well when they went off. Not a lot of treeless room on either side. If that's the Mulsanne Straight, it was deadlier doing 60mph then than 200mph now.

It's spelled sepArate. As my English teacher said, "There is always 'a rat' in separate".

You know, it's getting pretty deep in Canadians down here in Los Angeles. What horrible things are you doing to drive your countrymen so far away?

I LOVE the Forza series. I started playing with F2. I pre-ordered Forza 3 and 4 VIP editions so I could play them with maximum available content on release day. I bought all of the DLC available (even though what I really wanted was more tracks, not more cars). Forza has always had a really distinctive sense of…

Did you miss the bit where he picked her up from a mental health facility and then the other bit where she ODed on oxycodone?

They took a page from Lotus and decided to add some lightness!

Sync is terrible. It is worse than a dumb connection. Do not kid yourself. I bought my car full of hope that Sync would be the solution. 3 years later, Sync is still the problem.

I'd wager that it involved a long rope.

The name Big Nige is definitely the buried lede, but lay off of RIC. That kid's been earning his seat every race this year. I honestly never saw much in him during his years at TR, but he has been doing great work with a mediocre car this year.

Oddly placed batteries are usually accompanied by more conveniently placed terminals to use for charging the battery. Of course, I didn't know this when I was 20 and my '87 Audi 5000s had a dead battery under the back seat. I ended up with the rear bench pulled off and the jumping car pulled up touching the inside…

You're me from the future!?

Red Bull doesn't show F1 on the Red Bull digital channel (Roku and AppleTV) either. They can't. Between Bernie and the license-holder (NBCUNI in the US) F1 makes sure nobody else can show it. Best RBR can do is show footage of their F1 cars in non-F1 events.

Also know as the "don't let millions of acre ft of salt water ruin upstream land" bullshit.

It's impossible to say that sponsorship didn't help recruit a single soldier. Sponsorship, and advertisement in general, aren't about selling product. They're about building a brand in the consumer's mind. If you associate the National Guard with something they like (NASCAR, in this case) then they will be more…

Ugh. Your sailboat analogy strikes a bit of fear into my heart. In the sailing world we now have reasonably priced crappy boats like Hunters, which are poorly built living rooms with a hull and mast attached. But because that sort of boat captured a big part of the more casual market, we also now have luxury…
