When you say you get two plates for the listed price, do you mean the two plates as a set, or two plates as in front and back?

Yeah, I never expected to see it in a box store. I imagine they'd sell them (at least for a limited time) from the RSI site, though.

As far as I know, it's not for sale at this moment. In the past, many early backers got packages that included a "Spaceship-shaped USB Drive" and it was mentioned the game would be loaded onto these.

I'd be really surprised if they didn't offer a sale again to the public before they do a production run on the drives.

Considering we just had a vote not too long ago about the box art, I imagine a general physical release is in the cards.

Especially since many early backers have "Spaceship-shaped USB Drives" as part of their game packages, and Chris Roberts has mentioned in the past that these would come loaded with the game on them. I would be very surprised if they did not offer a second chance to the general public to buy a USB copy as an add-on before they do a production run.

Though, I'm not sure how many people were envisioning 100GB at the time those initial packages were written up, so I don't know if ~128GB flash drives are cost effective backer rewards (but then again, who knows how cheap flash memory will be when the game releases).

Sure with the current model. But what about down the road? What about the initial consumer release, or the one after that?

Imagine having 8 or more large screen virtual monitors in front of you using the rift. Different windows and applications open on each of them.

Certainly, for specialized applications requiring actual high resolution it would be necessary to purchase actual monitors. But for the average joe, you could use them to surf the web, write a paper, have a movie playing, and random tasks - all of them visible at a glance, rather than having to manually sort through windows that fight for screen real estate.

You could even set it up so that screens take priority or zoom as you move your head to look at them.

Simple idea - imagine the rift placing you in front of a virtual workstation, and all 2d content is displayed on virtual monitors; multiple large screens that would cost far more than the rift on its own.

Caleb is correct that a reviewer has a responsibility to the reader. What confuses me is how such a comment is relevant at all to the content of the post. Somehow I'm missing these transgressions against the sanctity of writers.

So far, the only "review" I've seen has been the typical, "Oh look! A new toy! Some people don't like these toys. I'll tell you if it's fun or not after I've played with it." That's not a review, that's a teaser to a forthcoming review. It's an ad to get readers excited for future content; a pretty standard practice.

There's no price listed, so I have no idea if the mag costs $20 or $400. There's no recommendation. There's no real information for good or for ill. None perils and violated responsibilities being referenced are actually present.

Is this merely a convenient post to air grievances? This is why I usually stay away from comments sections, Caleb. Your posts make it look like you just came to pick a fight.

Re: Fail: Boberg XR9-S Pocket Pistol

Sorry to hear about your bad experience.

I own a Boberg, and my experience has been the complete opposite. I've only ever used Winchester White Box as my cheap ammo for both 9mm and .45, since it's usually the cheapest at walmart in my area. Using that, I've put over 1200 rounds through the Boberg before it started having a malfunction (It would occasionally lock up and require a bit more force to cycle a round) and needed cleaning.

The magazines are hit and miss, depending on the model.

They make a trigger for the AK that pretty much everyone uses.

Tapco is a strange company. Some of their products are really bad, and some of them are practically a gold standard of the industry.

There's a reason we wanted to hire Pearl.

Interactions with the Droyne, and trying to explain the way humans work provide for some hilarious and sometimes challenging interactions.

Also, those fighters we saw were thrust 12, so they can outrun pretty much any missile other than Long Range Missiles.

Now they need a matching Burninator attachment. Maybe some kind of linked device that sprays lighter fluid, propane, non-dairy creamer, etc into the path of the fireball to enhance the fun.
