You're right, I misinterpreted as developer-supported dedicated servers. Thanks for the catch.

Haven't tried the Wargaming games. TF2 is dying. Granted, it's had a great run, but the servers I frequented have been mostly shut down, the ones that are up aren't full until the weekends, and Valve really doesn't have a solid direction for the game. MOBAs fill a different niche. TF2 and...

I'm betting it's closer to the Top Gear UK trio. Good fun and times while filming, but they get their fill of each other throughout the work. They don't hang out all that often outside of filming. Likewise, Jamie and Adam are a successful team, but they might get their fill of each other...

Jeez... so much Moffat hate, I'm almost ashamed to be a Whovian here.

Actually it's The Daily Mail referencing CityLab referencing UNC... TDM didn't speak with the researchers directly. If you want to get technical, The Daily Mail doesn't actually cite anything -- there is neither a link to the CityLab page they lifted the article from nor the UNC stu...

The theory of human-caused global climate change is not that the Earth is going through something unusual; you're completely correct when you say that the ice caps didn't always exist, but "Global Warming" refers to the fact that humans have greatly accelerated the process to the point that we...

The Daily Mail? That's an academic source if I've ever heard one, and totally not a tabloid known for making up bullshit... If you're serious: Every single person who has ever spent more than 10 minutes thinking about electric cars on an industrial scale has thought about where to get the...

They act as hyper-sexualized objects, usually little more than rewards, for the player - a predominantly male demographic. Feminism seeks equality and egalitarianism, and while men definitely are sexualized in video games - it's also to appeal to male fantasies. Because that's not her field...

...yet. If you were born in '87 (as your username suggests, but does not specify) then you're a whole 26 years old. Aside from Type II Diabetes (which has more to do with sugar intake than obesity, but they correlate very well) you won't see the side-effects of your weight for another decade or...

That's because the US Midwest is one of the unhealthiest areas in the country, second to the South. It doesn't mean being that heavy is OK, it means that the norm has now become unhealthy.

My favorite is Spoony. I follow him on his own site all the time and will watch his stuff relentlessly. As for the actual TGWTG crew... Nostalgia Chick and Oan Citizen are probably my favorites. I actually *learn* from them, and find the education entertaining. Nostalgia Critic, Brad...

That's not a dissolvable suture. That's a Prolene monofilament suture: http://www.surgical-instrument-pictures.com/prolene.html It's permanent, and was supposed to stay in there. After 10 years you might not need the sutures for support anymore, but you might also want to check with your...

Failed experiment. The entire idea behind a trend or meme for internet usage is that the original content was never intended to be used as-such. It's a find that encapsulates the message the user wants when taken out of context. That said... Experiments are often failures until you find one that...

<.conspiracy.... Anybody else notice how the Cyber Planner called himself Mr. Clever, whereas Clara has always described herself as 'clever' since her introduction? </conspiracy I was expecting more from Gaiman, but it wasn't bad. Nothing great, but nothing terrible. Fairly forgettable...

I'm about to blow your mind, so hold onto your head for a second: Science Fiction is more diverse because Fantasy has to be The Matrix. "But SciMal," you're thinking, "The Matrix was a Sci-Fi action flick!" Yes, it is, but why? I'll give you a hint: Because it used technology-as-magic, but...
