It also has to be more like falling forward with a hard final step than a proper dive. Got to be willing to faceplant if you want the strongest possible push. Of course, it is much easier to get injured doing it that way so I wouldn’t advise anyone doing it all the time.

If running is the most basic athletic feat a human can do, how is being the best at it make someone one of the greatest athletes? When we call someone a great athlete any other time, we usually do so because we don’t want to define them by a single thing. We have great pitchers, great shooters, great hitters, great…

Same could be said of almost everything else at the Olympics when compared to track, right? I mean, it isn’t like we are talking Handball here.

Worthwhile? If anything, it has a bit (just a bit) of that Destiny feeling where that it didn’t actually do what it intended to do all that well and some people could consider it not that good of a game but because it is unique in what kind of game it is, it is still worthwhile nonetheless.

That is all fine in general but not true of every example. This is all a bit much for a day one patch. The kind of changes they are making, the game looks like it should have been delayed for a bit. ‘As close to perfect as they can’ doesn’t sound like something that happened here. More like they already got death…

The Wii isn’t around anymore. Unless you think the NX is going to hit 100+ million unit sales, I don’t see the point in bringing up Mario Kart Wii or in not bringing up Mario Kart 8 which is at only 7.7 million which is a something of a drop I would say.

I kind of like the yellow one.

I haven’t heard conflicting reports about her acting; it seems generally well understood that she is at best unoffensive. She didn’t have much to do in BvS. (actually, she doesn’t emote much in any movie I have seen her in). It was the character itself and the way she was injected into the finale of BvS that got…

The UFC has always covered fight night which takes care of its most visible aspect but there had been talk right before that announcement in 2011 of fighters talking about the need for benefits. Even now, the amount of press covering the sport is small compared to the big guys, even more so in 2011 and you can imagine…

If the UFC didn’t offer some health benefits, they would be torn apart in the press. We have seen too many injuries of popular fighters over the years for the UFC to conceivably be able to get out of doing that, legally required or not.

It has been going back and forth. MS started doing this a while back and then stopped. Sony then took up the torch and said they were willing to do this with XBL. Now, after some time, MS has called their bluff. They have now gone in pretty hard with the whole play anywhere thing with the PC and making big overtures…

Who said anything about football? Guys tear their ACL in MMA as well. Who was paying Dominick Cruz when injuries limited him to 1 fight in 4 years?

Yeah, still not feeling it. That is like setting up a fund every time someone tears their ACL just because there is going to be a lot of rehab and they are going to be out of commission for a long while. The funny thing is this wouldn’t even work if it wasn’t for the guy who put that dent in his head celebrating the…

I think the setup would just be too much explanation. If you didn’t know what the joke was about in the first place, you wouldn’t care even if they explained the initial problem. NAT issues are not exactly exciting stuff and it would still seem like a guy randomly complaining about a random thing with a lot of cursing.

It is still a dude bro game. You certainly don’t move away from that by adding space marine armor and the heart of the game still has to play the same. You still play as a spec ops squad blowing shit up Michael Bay-style and yelling military jargon through your headset. Just like how Battlefield, going from the near…

Much prettier when customed too.

You probably should have kept doing that. This isn’t complicated. This is a product that wasn’t free for everyone and even if it was, it is something people have been enjoying for years and now these unnecessary, according to some, changes are really kind of fucking things up. I think people are going to say something…

2 of the decisions last night were pretty boring, though, whether you follow the sport or not. It isn’t just because they were wrestling wins. It was because, outside of the first round of the Cormier fight, no one tired to advance their position at all so it devolved into either little inside punching on the ground…

I was just going to leave it as Nathan being a glass half full kind of guy but, yeah, this wasn’t a good PPV.
