Yeah, I like the Joker from the Arkham series; he presents a persona very similar to TAS, but still does really dark, terrible things that the kid's show version wouldn't be able to.

Batman: Arkham Knight. I thought it was a really good finish to Rocksteady's trilogy. There's still something to be said for how much tighter and more focused Asylum was, but I still enjoyed this one immensely. I even got 100% of the sidequests (including Riddler's) before finishing the game.

^ That comment is the most glowingly positive thing I've seen someone say about that movie.

I'm not so sure I want a self-driving car anymore...

I agree that Sony's straight talk is vastly preferable, I was just irritated by all those game journos, who should be familiar enough with corporate double speak to understand what it meant, pretending there's some huge mystery about it. "Exclusively on Xbox One in Holiday 2015" obviously means timed exclusive because if it didn't they wouldn't have phrased it so stupidly.

I felt like people were being unreasonable when they were complaining about MS's statement about TR's exclusivity being confusing. I thought it was perfectly clear that it was a timed exclusive. *Edit - Man, I'm starting to sound like an MS fanboy ITT. So to put the record straight I think the timed exclusivity is lame and wish they hadn't done it.

Yeah, the quality eventually gets up to 720p after Youtube has processed everything.

We knew it was a timed exclusive, so it was never gonna be less than 6 months. *Edit - "Always seems to be MS doing that" - Sony is doing that with this year's CoD (though granted it's only DLC, and it's only like a month of exclusivity). Anyway, with this game at least, supposedly MS is putting in a lot of resources to help them get the game developed and optimized more quickly on Xbone, it's not that they're just paying them to wait to release it for PS4.

So the last thing I needed to do to finish out The Dark Below on my last character was the Will of Crota strike. It was easier than I expected.

I don't necessarily agree with everything on there, but whatever. My only real issue is how is The Incredible Hulk not at the bottom?

Something tells me there's something wrong with the resizing...

I assume Dean's talking about climate change.

Re: Brian Cox, I call him "British Carl Sagan".

Yeah, he shows up on TV and stuff here from time to time, science educational shows and whatnot. There's also this global communications network called the internet that you might have heard of...

Brian Cox has apparently lost patience with moon landing conspiracy theorists: Buzz Aldrin thinks he's "a pretty smart guy." Buzz Aldrin also has no patience for the conspiracy theorists:

I have everything running through a receiver, which I'm not sure passes the CEC or not. I've never actually tried it. Hmm...

Yeah, what I said to my wife about that was that I really don't give a shit whether McCain is couriered a war hero or not, but saying that being captured disqualifies you is kind of an asshole position, and isn't going to win him any points.

Yeah, I have the official one for PS3, it's really nice for bluray watching. I don't like using the controller because it has a tendency to turn off, making it difficult to pause and such on short notice.

l knew someone was going to criticize my spelling of that sound.

Buhduhluhduhluh.

I just feel like the obvious solution, that any idiot could come up with, is to isolate the computers that control the critical components from the computers that control the fun parts, and only give the internet connection to the fun parts. There's no reason your in-console entertainment system needs to be able to talk to your transmission.

Now that you say that, I have seen places in third party firmware (like dd-wrt) to enter in login info to connect to the ISP, but I've never had an ISP where you've actually had to use that, and I've had 3 different broadband ISPs. The way it's always worked for the ones I've had is you register your modem with the ISP, and then you can connect any router you want to the modem without any special passwords or anything.

What does this mean? Do you have to put a username/password into the router for it to connect to the internet?

So this is freaky: http://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/ We've now reached the point where hackers can wireless take over a car, not just through hardwiring into the mechanics' port. Why in God's name are the critical functions connected in any way whatsoever to the car's internet connection?
