If you truly believe all his graphs so far are correct, I highly recommend printing them out and having a math teacher explain the rudimentary things which you are ignoring. If you are no longer in middle/high school, then I seriously feel bad for you. Put down the goddamn controller and learn something.

That said, this is the first error free diagram of the series.

If only he was smart: all he's shown so far is that he is incapable of using graphs to correctly illustrate a point.

here vlad, this might help you the next time you have a puerile, non-fact driven point you want to illustrate through an arbitrary bar graph: http://cstl.syr.edu/FIPSE/TabBar/BuildBar/BUILDBAR.HTM

Just because his terrible graphic skillz are making me go slightly batty, as it is shown as age progresses (age should go from 0 on the far left, to older on the far right) you gain more ability to play games, and you start with a huge ability to buy stuff. If you ignore the color coding (which is covering his remidial graph making ass so far) and look what the actually lines represent in terms of numbers, the graph is goddamn wrong. But then, at least the idea which is behind it makes sense, unlike the "NDF" graph just posted.

Clearly someone thinks the only thing a graph needs is straight lines and to be drawn on lined paper.

A bar graph typically has no progression along one axis . You have labeled the axes in a way which means they represent the SAME THING: measuring how extreme specific "defence forces" are.

To correct it, label the x (horizontal axis) "specific groups which I childishly take issue with" and the y axis "excitement of coming products which I choose to perceive as blind, rabid fanboyism"

Y'know, I always preferred joystiq to kotaku before this . . . this may have just pushed me over. If you have an _opinion_, write a goddamn article, don't spend 3 seconds creating something which doesn't even make sense then expect people to accept it.

i got the tablet pc bug a few months ago, and i found that if you are prepared to buy used, slightly older tablets, you can find a fully functional multimedia pc for pretty cheap. i bought a used fujitsu 3500 and its a blast, a touchscreen instead of active digitizer (sucks for writing text, ok for drawing, good for dealing with the gui imo), 500mhz and 256 megs ram, with a 20 gig upgradable HD. All for 250 bucks incl shipping. battery life is decent, about 4 hours of music if i turn off screen/lower the brightness . . . the screen's 10.4 inches which is great for watching movies

just food for thought, besides the active digitizer and faster spec's, i definitely wouldn't spend 1000+ bucks on something which can be more or less achieved with older tech

An impressive hack, but I doubt it produces similar results to a proper starlight scope, with the photon to electron tube and phosphorous screen etc. Those suckers cost $$$, we need a pringles can + CVS camera version of that! :D
