Hahaha! I misread what you meant by "mixing in a daily helping of yogurt" and thought you were adding some to your cistern or something. All this time. All this time.

Cough FAR CRY 2 Cough (I know you don't like Far Cry 2 that much) I also feel compelled to recommend Driver: San Francisco even though it meets almost none of the usual criteria for a GTA-clone, especially as it's all in-car rather than on foot.* Couple of things in common with Sleeping Dogs: arcade-style driving simulation, modern urban setting, criminal backstory, complete and utter narrative insanity. Plus you get to find out how deep the rabbit hole really goes whereas in Sleeping Dogs S.Dogs is brimming with references to HK action movies though, if that could tickle you. And visually, it's incredible. Steam Halloween Sale is supposed to start on the 30th, if that factors in to your immediate purchasing decision matrix. *I have been mildly feverish over the last few days so, yeah. Judgement issues. Sorry, forum.

In your estimation, has the addition of yogurt made the clogging even rarer, or had no noticable effect? Our drains are ... not the best, so I'm thinking this method might have beneficial effects. Or it might not. Toilet physics is not my strongest point.

What troubles me about these two Tumblrs is that the publisher of the first has stated their lack of interest in verifying the authenticity of posted quotes or the history of the individuals that wrote them (in several cases, commenters have indicated that the quotes or images were fabricated or made by persons that were self-confessed trolls without particular allegiance). The other presents material without comment (and doesn't seem to allow reader comments?), which makes it more rather than less easy to misinterpret. TLDR neither seem particularly interested in practicing good journalism or demonstrating ethical behaviour? edit - though of course when you or your friends are on the receiving end of unpleasant messages I guess assessing the credibility of each sender isn't high on your to-do list and maybe that's the point

That reminds me of two other pieces. First, from Holly Nielsen's The Danger of Labels: "By labelling, we automatically create sides and in the world of Twitter, we group and judge people on 140 characters. There is no discussion, there is no debate, there’s just shouting and name calling. By giving group names, we don’t just create a clear 'us and them' divide, we also force people to choose and we give perhaps the more unpleasant people a banner that perpetuates these stereotypes. It’s a dangerous cycle." "There is a reasonable discussion to be had here, but if everything is an attack, it will never happen. If the playing field is made less hostile, then perhaps the reasonable, silent majority will be more inclined to break their silence." Second, from a challenging read by Oliver Campbell, When A Black Game Journalist Spoke Up On #Gamergate (Damion Schubert from Zen of Design / BioWare Austin had referred to it in a bunch of links that were "crucial reading for those who think that online harassment is a crucially important topic"): "I can’t speak of everyone’s experience in dealing with members of Gamergate, but the majority of what I have personally seen and experienced is that they are passionate people, they’re incredibly smart and savvy consumers, they are ridiculous levels of inviting and inclusive, and almost anyone that shows up is welcomed with open arms." "My experience has been pretty much the direct OPPOSITE of the narrative that has been pushed about these people. Of course, there are always going to be extremists and those who engage in sketchy and questionable behavior on any side of a conflict, and I don’t think anyone is going to debate that." ...maybe I should go back to lurking the thread

I'm assuming that both of those are animated gifs

That's quite a bit lower than the Thunderclap number that came up not long ago, makes me think there's something funny going on with Keynote's user stats.

Bonus: heat from the lithium battery warm your hands on rainy days

Oh man when you look at the Wikipedia image you can almost see the X-Wings circling. Really really curious to see how (if?) SW7 will be more inclusive of Chinese / Asian audiences. I mean, I hope so, and in a totally cool way.

Oh very good. Did he also promise to get "Ben Xenobi" ad-libbed into the final cut?

Other Places tours the Alien: Isolation Nostromo? Thoughts, opinions etc.?

Just out of interest, how difficult is it to start a union in the US? Do people have to join a union specific to their precise role or are there more general workers' unions that could suffice?

That would have been a pretty decent Resi reference too! I wonder why they didn't do it..

Wow who knew that Nature Diaps had such a diversified product base

Two points I appreciated from a David Jaffe response:

So wait, what's our homework for the first week, Episode 1 or Pilot Episode 0?

Coolhosting.cool, for all your hosting needs?

Sounds a lot like the co-ordinated release of positive reviews for WB's Batman: Arkham Asylum, except that was in the established press.

Yes, I think the recent timing of the Verge article might be a factor in Polygon's non-reporting over the Shadow of Mordor / YouTuber Coverage topic - any mention could be interpreted as (over-)overkill, and that wouldn't be conducive to open discussion and positive change. What with the Kotaku article being written by Nathan Grayson you can imagine how that is being accepted in some quarters.

There is a write up on Kotaku already, so that's something.

The update page is also excellent. Full commitment!

Yeah I don't know if they should have changed the name or not but for many (ie. me) it wasn't obvious that Master of sorry, Shadow of Mordor was going to be massive until juuuust before it hit so.... ....apparently this one is actually alright, especially if you like Thief and remakes of Thief that don't share the same color palette as Thief? Twig are you going to stream your findings for the good of society? Anyway there were certainly enough comedy British and American accents in yon trailer to keep me amused

Questions - What do you actually do? Apart from go into a basement, play a weird Pac-like arcade game, sprint upstairs for 2 seconds to see if you did it right, then run back down and repeat. - How do you know if you are doing things right? Apart from if you make something gratifying in and of itself. Are there theater investors who require a certain number of visitors? Is this in part a Sim Art Space? - Are the art exhibits / music performances / films somewhat procedurally generated or is it a matter of unlocking finite, pre-set combinations? Funding levels could have done with a bit of a tweak. $20 for the game but $15 extra for the art book and another $15 on top for the OST? Not sure about that, seems a bit steep. An Early Bird offer at $15 wouldn't have gone amiss either. Good luck to them though. There's certainly a lot of artistic and musical talent here.

So the other day I was out and about, and noticed a 50 year old white man just up ahead who was quite unashamedly ogling a well-dressed young minority woman as she passed. I probably shouldn't have but I locked eye contact and then very intentionally checked out his package as I walked by. Later on, I realized that I was still a massive misogynist.
