And that’s the small keyboard, too. An extended keyboard, with a number pad and the extra cursor movement keys, is $129.

Counter argument: Geordi’s in a gold admiral’s uniform.

Yakuza maps have never been particularly huge. Even in the most recent game, the new map is maybe on the scale of GTA III or Vice City. Still, they manage to pack 15-20 minigames into each game’s word map, some of which involve driving or riding around the map, plus the inevitable scavenger hunts and hidden collectibles.

Ok, and what do you think the memory managers were written in?

Next up: Skyrim. “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.”

“It’s not working.”

“…We’re both all reversing the polarity.”

“Yes, I know that.”

“There’s two four of us. I’m reversing it, you’re reversing it back again. We’re confusing the polarity!”

Reverse the punarity of the plasma coils.

Remarkable.

It’s super annoying, but even though they’re all airing at the same time, Picard, Lower Decks, and Prodigy all take place at slightly different times. At least they’re consistent with TNG stardates, where 41000 is 2364, and each 1000 stardates equals one Earth year, so you can get a year from a captain’s log entry. From Memory Alpha:

Lower Decks: 2380-2382

Prodigy: 2383–2385

Picard: 2399-2341 (Ignoring flashbacks)

I miss the TNG / DS9 / VOY era, when shows airing concurrently all take place at the same time.

Such an upgrade over the previous two. Three whole cities to explore, plus the countryside. They managed to stream the world data from the disc as you moved about, so no more loading screens between islands like III and VC had. This was the first GTA where you could swim, so water was no longer a death trap, and the first to introduce skills, so you could swim further and faster as you got better.

Glory to you and your Tollhouse.

Like he’s got any room to talk, after “Q Who.”

But what if you can live with it? I can live with it.

I love how the middle frame of the “lunch” became the thumbnail for the post.

Setting up a crossover with Babylon 5.

The lines for the two controller ports are duplicated on the NES’s expansion port, so this device is able to send inputs into the NES as if it were a real set of controllers. I’d call it a neat hack, but it doesn’t require any hardware modification to the system other than removing the expansion port cover, so it feels much too clean to call a hack.

They’d guys are developers. Maybe have someone code review your malicious code before you push it to production.

Throws a Kelvinverse boxed set at Pippen.

The tape has been uploaded to YouTube, if you can track down a copy of the game.

Worf is a real head turner.
