Nokia dragged their feet on smart phones and paid the price. The fact that they went with Microsoft when they did start making smart phones almost certainly didn't help matters, but they were already way behind at that point.

It's an absolutely perfect example of how petty he and his ilk are.

I take reviews on any site (especially Google/maps) with a huge grain of salt. I mostly only go straight to the negative reviews though. If they're all petty shit, then it's usually a good sign. I also like to see if the business/owner has responded. If they're posting snarky responses to negative reviews, then I'm inclined to think that this isn't a business that I want to deal with.

That would be a 23 kg bike. That’s crazy heavy. It’s more than double most bikes’ weight, and triple the weight of a racing bike.

It's actually not that crazy. E-bikes tend to be at least that heavy. Mine is 30kg. In our example of a fat man riding a bicycle, he's probably more likely to be riding an electric bike anyway.

On a similar note, Full Throttle is my favourite game ever, and has been since I first played it. I love everything about that game.

The replacement's job isn't to fix the problems, just to make it seem like they're doing something.

Mostly it's through recommendations from friends, or when I frequently see people talking about a particular show in a community. For example, I discovered Hacks thanks to people in the Frasier subreddit frequently talking about how amazing Jean Smart (who was in several episodes of Frasier) is in it (she really is.)

The "Can it run Crysis" thing was purely about the fact that it was one of (if not the most) resource-intensive games out at the time. I remember it being a big jump in terms of both visual quality and the requirements to run it well.

The Last of Us is definitely about the story. If you're not invested in that, you're probably not going to enjoy it. There's nothing much in the gameplay that sets it apart from similar games.

One should always properly research the issue and come to a decision based on logic and humanity. That said, starting from the assumption that she is wrong is generally a sound strategy.

I think it's definitely worth adding something to that effect when making that statement. It's easy for people to forget that 'players' includes the GM. Changing it to 'everyone at the table' could work too.
