    Boo boo! You are not supposed to GIS the image providedNow if you found it by checking the image result of a "video game big foot in field" query that's something else but heh... At least I made you listen to The Shaggs!

    Breaking Bad

    I can see why Walt would not want to just bribe Hank into silence (he is too proud and he knows Hank also would be too proud to accept), but I am surprised Soul did not mention this option and went straight to Belize.

    The Lone Ranger

    I will first say that I had never even heard of the Lone Ranger before seeing this movie, that I can't judge the movie as a whole because I was dead tired when seeing it so missed some significant chunks of it, BUT all the people who whine all year long about shaky cams better go see it because...

    Rezonation's N?1 pisses me off because it looks a lot like Scorched Earth but... it's not (EDIT: Or is it? There several different versions of the game). The font and resolution look Amiga-ish... but google-fu and moby game do not help :/

    hyperloop

    I'll confess I did not realize it currently takes 5+ hours to travel by train from San Francisco to Los Angeles, so the service provided is outstanding. I'll maintain though that the design of the vehicle is very poor and that the volume of passengers makes me scratch my head EDIT: they...

    hyperloop

    Let me nuance my point now that its core seems somewhat clearer than at the beginning. I don't think it is a boolean proposition (as in: claustrophobic people don't use it, others use it), every user will weight the discomfort of the service against the benefits of the service (others made that...

    hyperloop

    You point at something interesting that defeats your own argument (on top of the fact a subway car is a big public space). Why do you think there are windows in subway cars? Even in subways that do not have a single line that goes over ground? It's to create a sense of space and movement, a...

    The problem is not having someone next to you or not, the problem is the confined space, the low ceiling, the lack of windows.

    hyperloop

    The total number of people per vehicle is irrelevant. What is relevant is the space block for each passenger. As you can see in the picture posted, it's a 2 people block. I'll confess I used the worst case scenario for emphasis as there are 4 people blocks in some of the designs (the crotch-shot...

    Summer 2013 Anime Thread

    For those it may concern: the manga the serie is based on is published in french (Silver Spoon: La cuill?re d'argent). I only read the first volume, but the mix of light comedy, original setting and agricultural lesson made for a very pleasant read (so, I'll assume, also a pleasant watch)...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I guess there is a big asterisk to add next to that statement: * the only metric being the quantity and quality of exclusive titles. I don't know about you but I don't remember many console launch line up that feature 9 AAA titles with 5 that are not sport/driving (looking at this PS4 list)...

    It's a good technique to cheat death's administration apparently. Born in 1904, Sir John Gielgud was already dying of old age in Falstaff back in 1965 and he died in 2000!

    You don't. But usually when you need to leave the place you are to go somewhere else quickly, that involves toilets. I believe they have those on planes (though they probably charge you for their usage on low-cost airlines now). On a side note, remember the question is not "WouldIride the...

    hyperloop

    Ability to move around, to stand or sit. Ability to leave at any moment within five minutes. Aka: not feeling trapped in a coffin for 30 minutes? I also like the fact that anyone with limited mobility is unable to enter or leave the vehicle by himself or that the 4 people spots have been...

    hyperloop

    My point is being misunderstood here (I'll take the blame for that). Let me rephrase it differently: I feel this project is interesting from an engineering/technology standpoint, it seems to offer a good service as far as travel time and travel price are concerned (even if there are many...

    hyperloop

    Last time I took a train and plane I could move around, see outside, go to the toilets, go the restaurant car or get in flight food. Last time I took a car, I could see outside, go where I wanted to go, stop when I wanted to stop. The tiny portion of japanese people who are used to capsule...

    It was at a movie festival I went to and it had a very favorable buzz surrounding it (I just checked and it won the public's award). Did not get to see it though.

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    Probably The West Wing, because it has everything in it, is very good and is very long! So by the time you see the last episode you are about ready to see the first one again! What book/movie/game/whatever never got a sequel despite your hopes and prayers for one?

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    With the first Xbox they dropped their pants a couple months after release. This 180 months before the release makes me believe the pre-order numbers are not bad, but dismal. The 1 to 10 ratio on this thread's poll is probably not representative of the general pre-ordering public, but even if...

    The Newsroom S2

    I disagree, I think the whole episode was great, which is no small feat considering how many storylines were meshed. If we want to nit-pick, you could say being sued for assault is probably more damaging in the eyes of your bosses than a sex tape.

    Kickle Cubicle! I know because when I browsed NES puzzle games to identify Ice n' Fire I stumbled upon this one and also dowloaded the ROM! EDIT: Just played a couple dozen levels and it's a lot more action than puzzle, witch is not too hot when the controls are those of a puzzle game!

    So this Solomon's Key 2 aka Fire n' Ice game is pretty cool. I only had to check a walk through for 3 puzzles (one was just too tedious, another required insane outside the box thinking that would have never occurred to me and the third had a monster dodging start that I would not even have...
