a chance to secure passage to Michael Fassbender’s holiday assassination spectacular

Thank you. I honestly appreciate that! I very much enjoyed your comment as well because it earns the highest possible praise: it’s what an articulate and polite person would say in a live conversation.

These puns are deriving me crazy.

Totally understood. I think it’s our latest version of something that’s actually kind of tragic: the loss of nobility in a sport to pursue profit. Many major sports at an earlier time were scenes of inspiration: a triumph of a struggling country’s citizen over the athlete of a rich country, a breakthrough of…

“Apathy is the death of any sporting contest.” Right on. That’s why we aren’t rushing to our nearest sports bar to watch a national track championship despite acknowledging that the sport has incredible athletes (and even a few iconic movies).

I feel you, but in reality, it’s what the sport needs: exposure. The stalwart devotion of the old guard kept the UFC steady as it grew, but the continued indignant defense of “real MMA”, “true warrior”, and “real martial artists” is not enough anymore. Fan population growth is needed just like in any other…

Thanks haha. Appreciation and gnomes can be hard to find.

Very sad. Holding X for weeping flourish...

Wow, thanks for spoiling that Zootopia is not a live feed. What the hell are we paying $13 for??

Sort of like the titular armor here. You saint!

Already jealous of the fortune you’ll make from trademarking that.

Yeah, brutal prehistoric times are not what I want to accurately simulate. Besides, I’m not trying to get charcoal all over my controller after drawing a map on the wall to the next mission objective.

Exactly: ruining people’s fun is the line. Sure, they can go ahead and double-dribble all they want at the arcade, but they can’t yell “Refs hold back progress!” when they hear the whistle on the court.

Your noble exclamation mark conservationism has not gone unnoticed: much obliged.

Supreme Commander 2 was pretty great, and it’s BC. But uh...yeah, that was my whole pitch. Ok.

You’re not alone. XBO Gold subscribers have enjoyed months of free Pool (billiards) and retro pixelated games on their newest-gen consoles. This is one of the best line-ups we’ve ever had.

It would be hard to say no to free Storm Shadow-inspired katanas made by a government-controlled business.

I was like “well I don’t know if I fully agree” until your last sentence. Raurik wins. Perfect.

What’s even more criminal is how many people are being so vastly underpaid for their apparently expert insight into the economics of the game industry that they cannot afford $40-$60 games.

Pedantry is OP.
