Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and You: Could it Happen - Part 2

Welcome back to Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and You. Where we examine whether its arcane plot, in which anonymous hackers attack the US with our own robots, could actually happen - and if you need to be prepared for it. Here's a refresher! Last time we debunked the myth of military robot IQ. This time we'll examine why you need to worry less about the current generation of remote controlled robo-warriors and more about Terminator's Skynet. Because... Reason 2: Robots don't...

The post in which I approve vehicles based on stock tire choice alone

Yes, the wasteland is a cruel mistress. Out here, you might think that your shiny, new all-wheel-drive Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes G-Class will graciously deliver you to your next Client meeting in sumptuous safety... But, come rocky crag or stick-wielding 99-percenter, and you'll be sadly mistaken, friend. Stock street tires, even ostensibly "off-road" rated rubber, are not what you want under you when society collapses (again). You want super strong TriGard sidewalls....

Racing Events Primer, Volume I

When a brisk walk from your desk to the fax machine leaves you gasping for air, you have two choices: go paperless or get in shape.

Update: You Made James Suffer

Nice work, people. This past weekend, our friend James suffered an entire 5k with the weight of your American Heart Association donations draped across his heroic, calloused shoulders - all $2k of it. Crossing the line in just under 1:10, he hustled your 100 pounds of love with a quickness that defies all physics, all logic and every single self-presevation instinct built into modern man by eons of evolution. (Obviously.) How to fit 100 lbs of sh*t storm in a 2.4 lb sack. So,...

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and You: Could It Happen - Part 1

The new Call of Duty Black Ops 2 trailer is out, and there seems to be a wild rumpus on the internets about whether or not its plot, involving hacked military robots attacking the US, is too sci-fi be a realistic Call of Duty game. Newsflash, Interwebs. It's a game. It's never been realistic. So, rather than besiege the message boards with pointless sniping, let's ask the bigger question: Could this hacker-fueled apocalyptic vision actually happen - AND do you need to prepare your Clients...
