There’s a connection...a thematic connection! Sort of.

So a while back I wrote a post to try and get people to remember and practice empathy because I felt that it was important to remember that the author of the text you’re reading is another living, breathing human being.

Another day, another bunch of E3 press conferences. Let’s talk about them!

On the second episode of Kotaku Splitscreen’s special E3 coverage, Jason Schreier and I talked about everything we liked (and didn’t like) about Bethesda’s press conference from last night, Square Enix’s letdown of a show this morning, and Ubisoft’s reliably daffy extravaganza earlier this afternoon.

Is an inflatable chair better than an inflatable couch ? Yes. Is an inflatable chair better than an actual chair ? Probably not.

I hate inflating those inflatable couches, and while they’re great for laying down on, they’re definitely not comfortable to sit on unless you’ve got something to prop them against. The Trono Chair inflates...

Leather can only get so thin, so if you want a truly minimal wallet, you may want to give paper a try.

Or to be more specific, tyvek. It’s waterproof, tear resistant, thin, and flexible... everything you’d want a minimal wallet to be. The upcoming Micro Wallet...

Ever wonder how supermodels stay supernaturally young looking? Some of it’s genetics. A lot of it’s not. Face taping is a trick that I’ve seen and admired while on set with a lot of my fellow supes and hanging with my drag queen mister-sisters, but I haven’t tried it till now.
