The Best of 2013
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2013.
PC Hardware is Toast
This is why shopping for graphics cards is so stupid and miserable.
Blistering Stupidity of Fallout 3
Yeah, this game is a classic. But the story is idiotic, incoherent, thematically confused, and patronizing.
Charging More for a Worse Product
No, game prices don't "need" to go up. That's not how supply and demand works. Instead, the publishers need to be smarter about where they spend their money.
Revisiting a Dead Engine
I wanted to take the file format of a late 90s shooter and read it in modern-day Unity. This is the result.
This is post 34542. I am leaving a comment on it. Will this make everything explode? Let’s find out!
Love it!
How did you guys even FIND this page? Just trying numbers at random?
I found this odd duck during the dB move and I honestly couldn’t figure out what it was, what it was for, or who added it.
EDIT: OH, I get it. I forgot about the number being part of the Database Abuse post. I STILL don’t know what line triggers that query, or why.
My theme doesn’t even know what this is, which is why the layout is broken. Like, the comments appear ABOVE the search bar?!? How is that even POSSIBLE?
It never even occurred to me you could leave comments on this thing until you did so.
This is probably the foundation post for your entire website. If you delete this post then every request to your website will start returning 501 errors.
You have been warned… :-)
With the glut of self-referential games over the recent years, this is making me think that this has to be intentional somehow. It’s refreshing to actually come across a crack in the system. Props, Paul.
Also: as a web dev, my favorite touch is that the Twitter feed expanding forces the page as a whole to expand down, creating more scroll space.
Appears broken in Firefox 58.0.1.
It’s kind of a shame that no one found this page before now. It would have been kinda hilarious if someone just left a secret message in the bowels in the site that no one would find until now.
Now I’m wondering what other pages are broken like this.
The comment would still appear in the rss feed,so some people wouldve noticed them.Also Shamus would see them as well.
Oh yeah, I forgot RSS was a thing for a second there. Oh well.
