Oof, boy, yeah, I had that one backward. I had 2000 and 2004 flip-flopped in my brain. THEY WERE BOTH TERRIBLE.

Incumbent advantage? It’s only an advantage for the incumbent if things are going well. Both Obama and Bush II had weaker second victories than their first.

I can’t even beat the first level in that. The mechanics of the game do not mesh with my brain. I think I’d need an old fashioned console controller in order to actually do well with it.

It’s impossible to predict the atmosphere of the country in 4 years, but if I had to make a bet, I’d say that Paul Ryan beats Hillary in 2020. And I HATE it.

Hah, yeah, that must have sucked. I’m hoping to get my daughter into snowboarding early so that she doesn’t grow up and immediately move away. :/

Where do you live, NYC? No wonder you hate winter. Move to where you get some good solid snowfall (like Syracuse!) and take up snowboarding. Winter is great!

Autumn is the best season. I nearly exploded into flames three times this summer and spent most days struggling to breathe through the oppressive humidity. I also nearly matched my winter electric bills by running our window AC units more this summer than every other summer combined. Summer is the worst season. What…

I’ve never gotten a “good” pillow. I just get a new firm pillow from Bed, Bath, & Beyond every time my current one gets too flat. I’m a side sleeper with wide-as-hell shoulders, so I’m wondering if maybe getting an actual good pillow might open up a whole new world of comfort for me?

Can any of you say something nice about Syracuse?

Syracuse here.

Yeah, I quit watching about 5-8 years ago. I’ve kind of lost interest in most sports, but football was the first to go.

I wish I could install an AI in my Facebook feed to block football-related posts. I’m sure most of them would say the same thing about my social justice and economic inequality posts. God, when did I…

I’ve never been able to decide if it’s “sell-ES”, like Celeste, or “SELL-es”, like Monica Seles.

I second this motion.

Now solidly in my mid-30s and with a family, my video game days are, sadly, behind me. Or at the very least, on a very long pause. My weekly TTRPG night is my only foot that I have left in the world of gaming. I get very excited when I see the topic appear on Kotaku. :)

You should learn to actually cook. Otherwise, man, those pans are wasted on you.

I don’t want to live in this world anymore. :(

Dragon Warrior (Quest) III on the NES is probably the game that I have sunk the most amount of time into overall in my life. I loved that game.

Welcome Heather!

Are you planning on, hmm, spinning The Concourse off into it’s own top-level site, as a home for politics, current events, and things to get furious about in the realm of society? Or will New Gawker continue to live under Deadpin?

Your football is touching my socialism!

While the highlight of my sports video gaming life is Tecmo Super Bowl, I think Hockey is far and away the best sports video game. I’m not really much of a real life hockey fan, but man, I’ve had some fun playing in hockey leagues back in my Xbox 360 days.

I may also be biased because hockey was the first sports game I…

I was in kindergarten in 1985 and this is the first I’ve ever heard of that verse.
