    Review: We Happy Few

    An interesting review scale. But if you're making the scale non-standard already, why restrict yourself to a single axis? Why not have two or three? Fun, Truth, Beauty? Or one constant axis, but two others chosen for the game, to express whatever most needs expressing about it. I liked the...

    Opinion: On Plagiarism

    Michael Heerema@screenrant "While a single plagiarized article may slip through the editorial process from time to time, it's mind-boggling that Miucin thought he could get away with it for so long." (https://screenrant.com/ign-plagiarism-reviews-content-removed/) 29 words (117/350 total)...

    Opinion: On Plagiarism

    Patricia Hernandez@IGN: "Boomstick Gaming compared his existing video review with IGN?s, highlighting a number of similarities between the two. Beyond the repetition of certain buzzwords and phrases, the general framework of both reviews appears to be the same. The focus and wording of the...

    Opinion: On Plagiarism

    Jason Schreier: "Filip Miucin apparently plagiarized not just from other gaming sites, but from Wikipedia, NeoGAF, and even his own colleagues at IGN. Even his Linkedin resume is copy-pasted from someplace else." (https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1029751664566300674) 30 words there.

    Natural 20: Hedunnit

    A couple episodes before this were a bit uneven, and this was that too, I guess, but also hilarious! Enough coherence this time to make the madness funny. Good job.

    Explore the Unterzee During Sunless Sea's Free Steam Weekend

    Lifebergs. I believed I knew how to handle them. Oh my beautiful ship. The unterzee is a delight, but death is too bitter. Why does it prevail at zee, even when beyond the sight of the Judgements?

    New Battery Tech Gives Eight Hours of Play Time on One-Minute Charge

    Based on the picture posted by Jamash, the size could explain why this revolutionary battery technology would start with game controllers. If that's the smallest they can make it currently, it has no chance of working for phones yet, let alone cars. (The energy to volume ratio of that thing...

    Escape to the Movies: Jupiter Ascending - Tries But Fails

    I went to see this one and almost liked it. The visual design was awesome and the bad guys were great. (They are taking their dysfunctional relationships with their mother out on Jupiter, it's great. The lip guys lip makes him look weird in precisely the way he is.) Even the premise makes...

    Oh woe! I had all but forgotten the approaching end. The YRR will be over! What will become of our mondays?

    LoadingReadyRun: The Wire

    I love how desert bus seems to have consumed all the commentors from this video. It's just so hard to find time for anything else during the stream.

    How Interstellar Crashes in Its Third Act

    I really liked this movie. So much so that I have the urge to refute some of the points made against it here. First, the thing transcending time is gravity, not love. The expositionary dialogue Bob so hated explained the role of love quite nicely. It is just very hard to aim gravitic...

    Solar Roadways Seeks $1M to Replace Streets with Solar Panels

    A very, very small portion of roads in under a traffic jam at any given time. That is not a problem. Also, as pointed out, this will make the road cooler, not hotter, since part of the energy is turned into electricity. The real problem is the cost. Not only the cost in the silly imaginary...

    Feed Dump: Tour de Bad Dates

    I luv'd Alex's triumph at finally finding the racism. Good job, mate.

    Valve's Source Engine Runs Better on Linux Than Windows

    Android runs on a modified linux kernel. As does a lot of hardware. But, ok, that isn't too relevant to your argument. What is relevant is that most modern distros, like Ubuntu, are just as user friendly as windows. For a non-technical user, they are more like Windows than Windows 8 seems...

    Which settings would you love to see in a video game, and how would you implement them?

    A world similar to David Brin's novel "The Practice Effect": Every item used for a purpose by a conscious being will become better suited for that purpose. That would make such a great RPG. - Where do potions come from Daddy? - We take sugar water and train it above level 5, son.
