There’s a leak of the next-gen Chromecast (apparently someone was able to grab one at Best Buy) and it seems to have Bluetooth.  That kind of lines up - adding BT means you can pair it with a game controller.

I just read Snow Crash by the same author. As I’m reading, I’m enjoying it, thinking it’s a great satire of modern America; very with the times dealing with politics and corporate America and all that.

I’ll have to get used to the updated No. 9 graphics, but I’ll manage. I’ll also need a watch to match. Oh, and I also need to win the lottery.

Clearly, this is the day Ive been waiting for

I get the “sound” appeal of the V8, but everything else about that 4.2 litre was shit. It had horrible reliability, thanks in part to carbon issues and the dreaded timing chain tensioners. I was glad when Audi created the B8 S4 with a proper V6 and a supercharger, which is still to this day one of my favorite VAG…

Parents on one flight, kids on the other?

All this talk about the car and only one mention of the driver. That‘s kind of sad for VW’s press package for Pikes Peak. Dumas has spent most of his career at VW/Porsche/Audi in endurance prototypes with wins at Le Mans as well as previous experience at Pikes Peak.

I have an S4 of the b8.5 generation. it’s totally possible to put 200 miles a day on these cars and love every second of it. especially with the stick.

Of course they are going to be different. For starters, the Supra will have functional turn signals.

This is more Snow Crash than anything Gibson wrote. Snow Crash literally starts with a pizza delivery.

My best friend and I dressed up as Burt and Ernie for halloween about 8 years ago. Went out and got pretty hammered at the bars, and then I see down the street, Cookie Monster, just standing there. Well I thought it was a good idea to jump on his back, we both fell to the ground, and that’s when I feel a shot to the…

We can argue the pluses and minuses all day long, but the fact that a Korean sedan can compete anywhere near with a Mustang GT is pretty damned amazing.

Okay, quick (spoiler-y) plot synopsis: Your character is Jason. He has two brothers, Grant and Riley. You three, plus four friends (Lisa, Daisy, Keith, and Oliver), go on a vacation to the South Pacific where you all get kidnapped by pirates/drug smugglers/human traffickers. The fates of the character are:

Grant -…

Recently divorced would be spectacular.

One step closer to that beautiful dream...

He’s been replaced by Stiffler from American Pie. No, seriously.

It is shaped that way so that you are looking at what’s behind you, not the giant humps behind the seats. You’ll notice the shape of the mirror and the shape of the space between the humps pretty much match up.

Hopefully they actually finish the game this time! I quite enjoyed the first Rage, mainly because it did some fresh things with combat - those enemies were so kinetic, running on the walls and ceilings - and had some quality voice acting, but holy crap did it suddenly run out of steam before what felt like a proper…

Thanks I hate it, and am also glad that art did what it’s supposed to do: elicit emotion.
