The last in-person UPF and literally none of these people are with the site any more. Man.

@danryckertSince it's a recurring question in this episode, here's my attempt at a simple summary of why shipping by boat is generally preferred:1) Boats float. Keeping them afloat doesn't cost any fu...

@vinny Some cursory googling suggests DV wasn't introduced until 1995, with MiniDV coming around in 1998.

All the best with whatever the future holds. You will be sorely missed on the site. I really enjoyed the energy you brought!

@peterab said:As for the confusion over "freezing," seems like Abby was getting temperatures in Celsius, and Vinny in Fahrenheit, which is odd. I'm Canadian, so I notice these things, but it's unders...

If PS4 having bad wifi could really account for the appalling network performance they experienced, surely every single matchmade multiplayer game on the console would be a complete shitshow? It may n...

URGENT CORRECTION:A stone is 14 pounds, not 15.

My sister used to live in Leatherhead, and I'm not too far from there. It had an immediate Surrey vibe - there's a lot of those pink trees about (cherry blossoms?) - though I'm sure there's plenty of ...

Perhaps the Atari ST was a regional thing - I knew several different people with one when I was a kid here in the UK. Though to be fair, one of those was my cousin, who had pretty much everything (BB...

@fram: Is there any reason he couldn't just stack them up sideways, one on top of the other? It was driving me mad.

I guess Vinny never did notice that there's no X in NINTENDO.(The letters actually spell out EXTEND.)Anyway, fun stream. I look forward to part 2.

For those wondering, "Wolcen" is short for "woluntarily cenobite".
