    I'll happily agree that Painkiller has some more variation then SS, but on the whole it's much more focused with wave-based arenas. This isn't a knock against Painkiller at all, it…

    I'm interpreting this as pretty hardcore satire. Is anyone else picking up on that?

    There is a critical gap between the sensibilities of Doom/Quake/Duke and Painkiller/Serious Sam: level flow. The latter camp is in varying degrees a series of rooms you get locked …

    This leads to what strikes me as a potentially negative heuristic for determining what moments in a given film have worth. Summer flick drivel aside, would RunPee assign a high pee…

    This is a neat implementation! I'd be happier to see some attribution in regards to the assets being used, however. This was a custom player model made for Quake II multiplayer, an…

    It has promise, but it irks me that trouble was went to to include the iconography, but they aren't interactive - only the labels are.

    From a composition standpoint, that really is a rather excellent poster. The central gag is obvious, but there are several little things contributing to it. And the header motif is…

    At risk of turning this into an echo chamber: In-App Purchases become intrinsic mechanical elements of a player's experience of the game. This results in the design skewing towards…

    More to the point, it seems that the police must skew towards that attempted 0% risk, which is what starts snowballs like this. I find it ironic that with all of the talk flying ar…

    Look into != jail for several months. There are (supposedly) fairly well-defined use cases for probable cause and sufficient evidence to prosecute, and it seems these were all tram…

    You can only comment on images that are explicitly uploaded to the gallery. This is an extra step after uploading an image. There are no commentable images on imgur that are not in…

    This doesn't seem to have a lot of granularity in color around the 0 mark. Above 0 we have a warm color, below 0 we have a cold color. Would it paint a more informative picture to …

    Can I attempt to clarify the perceived intention of Tarkovsky with his novel adaptation? I wouldn't frame the films as evidence that he didn't care about the source material or wha…

    There's one key point that I haven't seen discussed here much. If this were a simple case of Microsoft contacting content producers directly and offering these things, then it'd be…

    That's a good point, but then the critical factor is that nobody knows how many people have blue eyes. More specifically, each person has to hold the possibility that n = observed …

    Comment #7007307

    This is the missing element from most explanations I see of this problem. We all look at the n cases from the POV of a blue-eyed person. An outside observer with brown eyes has the…

    This is a topic that essentially comes down to taste, but I'll attempt to outline the core appeal. You're right in saying that Wolf3D was mechanically simplistic when compared to t…

    Recent innovations in construction have provided residents with rather effective countermeasures to the weather. But seriously, having moved here from a snowy/cold climate, I'm mor…

    I found this to be an astute observation about Little Brother, but it's not something I'd apply to the genre as a whole, or even Doctorow. I was highly impressed by the characteriz…
