I honestly don't know if even that's good enough. It's not just that the connector needs to stay mated to the video card, the individual wires need to stay properly mated to the connector. I'm not convinced that cage would block you from snagging _a_ wire and pulling it away from the connector...

I agree that Rich dinging a movie because its not a 100% identical adaptation is dumb - instead, ding the Spider-Man movies because nearly* all the kids are terrible people. But looking at his list, Jay's Top 5 are going to be something like Evil Dead II / Spider-Man 2 / Darkman / Drag Me to...

I'm watching it thinking "Part 3 is going to be pretty boring. Every movie Raimi made between 87 and 98 - guessing Rich ranks it something like 1) Army of Darkness 2) The Quick and the Dead 3) Darkman 4)Evil Dead II 5)A Simple Plan - was great to a classic. This is going to be 30 minutes of Rich...

I think people are overlooking this factor. If the Datacenter-fueled component-pocalypse is about to shake up the entire industry for years (in terms of delayed hardware, price increases on existing hardware that already capped out on sales, screwing with release timelines for any future games...

I bought the expansion (the sub and expansions are a trivial amount given current inflation), and... purchased a house, skipped the tutorial, then put down one additional room and one piece of furniture to see how intuitive the process was if you skipped the tutorial (not bad). I haven't...

Keep in mind, only Sony's lawyers know how encumbered any given game contract was - Bloodborne's contract could have been hard limited to the PS4, and Sony doubts a remake would have sold well enough to cover whatever From wants to allow remakes on other consoles. I would also argue, to be...

The Trailblazers were sold off in September, and this was widely expected this offseason regardless of how the team finished. Allen's will dictates the money goes to charity, so its not like the current owner / executor gets anything out of the SB win. Bezos / Ballmer / Bill Gates are the...

The question for the Dolphins being how much of this is to make room for new hires for the new GM / coaches, giving them cap space to eat a trade / release of Tua, or both.

Eh, I would have liked to have seen Lyonel in action, though the show may not want to paint him in too bright a light if it gets to Aegon's reign. Honestly, the Humfreys get the raw deal - Beesbury gets, what, four words of dialogue? I get the audience is supposed to care about Baelor, but they...

If prior expansions keep their trends, judging from the roadmap https://www.lotro.com/news/lotro-letter-to-players-jan-26-en Update 47's additional Quests and Missions will add to the existing Defending Mur Ghala wrapper pool. Update 48's new zone will have a new wrapper quest, and I would...

I enjoy a good troll as much as the next guy, but 1) You have to get to the SB to lose it. 2) Not all teams have been in the league for the same amount of time, and thus haven't had the same number of opportunities to lose. 3) Win% in the SB is more relevant - The Pats being 50% is to be...

To be clear, trailers attached to other movies has become less and less of the overall marketing, with social media campaigns on stars' and directors' accounts taking more importance. The problem being that those posts tend to be insular, and if you want to reach a wider audience, you need to...

Spider-Man 4 is, just like the rest of the Tom Holland movies, released by Sony, but is a Marvel production, with at least some level of profit sharing going to Disney. But if your argument is correct, that would further suggest it is an industry-wide issue: The only Sony releases with any lead...

Actually looking at the movie release schedule, I'd argue this is more than a Mandalorian issue, this is a Disney in general issue: Did you know there's a Toy Story 5, coming out in four months? Why would you, there's no trailer. Did you know Spiderman 4 is still coming out in five months...
