That's arguable?

Pixelninja is my favorite. I went looking for her suit to link here, and discovered she's done the Varia suit *twice* -- AND the Gravity suit. Badass. http://pixelninja.se/photo.html My first ever cosplay was Gaige the Mechromancer... so IMO, cosplay whatever you want to. (:

Obviously they did have to be *able* to fly with it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was helpful. Look no further than the peacock for a clear demonstration of that. It's all about the sexytimes. Also, it's generally easier to steer with something like this if it's dragging behind the...

How is a server stress test not a beta? That's pretty much EXACTLY what a beta is. Beta tests are used so a company can test the scaling of their multiplayer hardware and so they can hopefully find one-in-a-thousand bugs that are just too rare for their (relatively) small team of testers to...

"Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow." - Tommy Lee Jones, Men In Black The last...

Anyone who doubts the validity of natural selection as a mechanism of evolution should Google "Evolution Canyon" (actually, do it even if you accept NS. Because it's awesome). I already know how this stuff works and my jaw still dropped reading it. Our world is an amazing place.

This is the closest I can come to believing in "divine creation of life" in any respect. Science has presented plausible theories for the existence of the universe all they way back/out to the Big Bang. If you ask a proper astrophysicist what existed before the Big Bang, she will say "I don't...

Seeing as I don't do business with PawnStop, a discless XB1 sounds fine to me. And while the HDD size is concern-worthy, it's no different for the original XB1 and PS4, both of which install the game to your HDD already. What this article doesn't mention is the potential complication - on the...

Transforrmers: Prime is the best thing to happen to the TV universe since Beast Wars/Machines. I can't speak to the toy design but the shows are excellent. And yeah, I still remember my friend's G1, part-metal Optimus Prime. That thing was amazing.

And here I came to the comments thread specifically to say (as a Boston transplant) that every time Bob's Bostonian accent leaks in I just giggle a bit. It's such a fun accent.

There's seriously so much wrong with this video - starting with the subject choice, all the way through to the end - that I don't even know where to start objecting to it.

There's a good chance the box art was commissioned from an external art house, so Gearbox themselves might not be the (direct) thieves in this case. But whoever it is, they're probably having a very bad day.

Nailed it.

Misleading headline is misleading: "Sony Abandons Trademark" More accurate: "Sony allows Last Guardian trademark to lapse" The trademark expired because it's been too long without it being "used." Sony has two months to reclaim it. This wasn't an action by Sony; it was a lack of upkeep.

Disagreement is fine - and healthy. Debate is designed to enlighten. But (1) be prepared to back up arguments with facts and logic, and (2) be willing to alter your opinion in the face of stronger, contrary evidence. Personally, I think Sarkeesian is off-target (and did not donate to her...
