This. Autoplay video is the suck. It looks like the stories with autoplay video have a little play button icon at the end of their blurb text. If that's the case, I at least know which stories to avoid clicking on.
"People grumbled a bit, pointing out correctly that a dollar drop for two fewer pages meant that they'd be paying more per page than they did at $3.99, but DC seems to be satisfied with its new approach."
I don't get the math here. There were 22 story pages at $3.99 at a price per page of $0.18. There are now 20 story pages at $2.99 at a price per page of $0.15.

@luisramosrueda: Removing the CAPS LOCK key is the very definition of not being evil. Google should be nominated for sainthood for this one long, long overdue change.
@xaronax: I think you are thinking of Richard Garriot, not Branson. Branson is the Virgin guy. Garriot is the Tabula Rasa guy.
@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!!!
More like a cross between Groundhog Day and Deja Vu, with Denzel Washington.
@jesperc20: I always trust pictures.
How do we know the statistician isn't a fraud?
@jblues: Oh god, that took me a moment. Terrible, terrible, terrible pun. Funny, but terrible.
@Fata1moose: I agree with you... I don't really read the new reviews. The old ones were always worth reading for some reason. The new format just doesn't make me that interested. It's not a protest, it's just a... blah!
@RalOberon: Warehouse 13 has an audience.
@Mikekearn has an overly long username: Yes. We also didn't have radiation be the only cause for mutation. We knew that large amounts of radiation = boring dead critter, not fun mutated critter. That's why we added the FEV (Forced Evolutionary Virus) -- also pure handwavium SCIENCE!, but at least we made a stab at it.
(Disclosure: I worked on Fallout 1)
We used the army's work on radiation exposure to create the radiation poisoning sub-system. One fault is that it was a little too realistic, and there were a few examples of not-fun in the original game (Glow without Rad-X or Radaway, I'm looking at you) where you could receive a HUGE dose of radiation poisoning, and not realize it right away. Then die when the effects kicked in hours later. Would have been okay, but we let people save their game without a warning if they had a fatal dose of radiation poisoning.)

@dopepope: For the lulz.
I've seen much better explosions on Mythbusters.
@Murray Hewitt: Zing!
But, sadly, true. My childhood will go cry itself to sleep now.

@Starlionblue: Another good one is "How Much for Just the Planet", by John M. Ford. It is a very silly, indeed slapstick, Star Trek novel. Very funny. From the same guy that wrote possibly the best Paranoia RPG adventure, The Yellow Clearence Black Box Blues.
Here's hoping for less Hatred and more Brock.
The whole Luke and Leia thing is going to get very squicky, isn't it?
@crosis101: +1
Excellent reference, excellent!
