Yes it is a trope, but Cavill is genuinely a fan of the games and video games and MMOs in general. The stories about him completely ignoring the original call for the Superman role because he was playing WOW are pretty old at this point.

Meh, isn't like she really even shows up for the first couple books. The prevalence of Triss in the games is the largest deviance from the books.

For a top tier show, that actually pretty reasonable. Netflix paid over $100 for Friends licensing rights and Hulu reportedly paid $160 mil for Seinfeld.

The actual books that the show is based on are somewhat decent and have good science. IIRC, the author Kathy Reichs gave a talk at my HS in the 90s which was pretty interesting.

120k lbs is the max rated payload for a 763ERF. But with parcel packages, which is what Amazon loads onto them, tend to be fairly non-dense. Every items is on average going to be at least 50% air/foam as part of the packaging which weighs almost nothing. There is a little under 16k cubic ft...

A pilot with knowledge of the Altas-Amazon operation (AKA he used to fly them) commented on airliners.net that they usually are between 20-60k lbs payload as they bulk out extremely fast (which makes sense).

That's what D check are for. They basically take the plane down to raw sheet metal and go over every inch of it.

DRAM has always followed a feast/famine sequence. demand goes up, prices go up, process improvements/new fabs/new competitors come in, prices freefall, consolidation happens, prices stabilize, demand goes up, rinse and repeat. This has been going on for 40 years at this point.

Eh? Wind from Philly to Charlotte has nothing to do with wind in Houston. Wind is highly unlikely to have played any roll. Likewise, it is highly unlikely for cargo shift to play much if any role. The cargo containers are fairly light (even when full, they volume out generally well before...

Yes, Yes, Yes, david cage junk, david cage junk, meh, yes.

Someone would have to be blind and deaf to make the statement you are making. There has been rather significant push back repeatedly every time this happens and even when they aren't exclusive because the consolization dumbs things down.

Also Epic's store doesn't really do jack. Steam has an almost 2 decade long track record of protecting their users investments, supporting their users, and responding to their user's needs. There are plenty of fly by night stores like epic's that have popped up over time that no longer exist...

Hey guess what, late movers have to compete with incumbents and don't get a pass for bad software. Epic is a bad store that has significant issues. Steam works. You know why no one actually cares what Steam was like when it released? Cause that was closer to TWO DECADES ago than ONE DECADE ago.

It works It has features Its features work It has support It has a community Those also work stuff actually working is kind of a big deal EPIC launcher is a POS without any features that barely works and should never of been released in the state it is in. Origin is a complete POS that breaks...

20% would be at best ~$2. No record company was selling CDs for >$10 on average (the rest of wholesaler/distributor and retail markup). ZooTV was basically financial suicide but they still managed a reported 5% return. Their largest issue was the overhead costs for that show which were and...
