Yep. Been saying this for a week.

To paraphrase The Dude: "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."

Nothing major, sure. But let me give one example of an even smaller tweak that serves as a good metaphor for the entire update. At the end of a given race, the game now defaults to the "next race" selection on the menu screen instead of the highlight reel, which it did originally.

If you thought this was a story about a gay youth, you missed at least 2/3 of the story in that game.

It was an incredibly, deceptively deep narrative told in a novel way that took full advantage of the interactive medium to tell a more traditional short story complete with character development, symbolism, subtext, and genuinely human emotion. And it did all of this without ever actually introducing us to the…

No. At 30 you're as adult as you're going to be. Probably more than you will be at 60, honestly.

The second most Jeff Goldblum-y person in the world is James Spader.

I'd say there were about even on the disappointment scale, with Watchdogs maybe taking just a little bit of a lead based on the huge hype that surrounded it.

Shane is also the worst. He's the most irritating quest-giver I've encountered in a while, and is a complete creep, to boot. Every other line is some manner of sleazy come-on to Fetch, and his master plans don't make much sense. I couldn't fathom why anyone would trust a word out of this guy's mouth, let alone…

It may be, but if it is, it's a terrible reason.

Tell me: Why do YOU think the players themselves agreed to to drug testing? C'mon... throw out the Gordon case, and think about why the players collectively would allow the NFL to suspend (and take money away from) players for smoking pot?

If you don't bother to police it, then what prevents a player from showing up to practice high because he smoked before coming to practice?

I dont know if you guys are in the middle of writing the article and but for fucks sake another swatting incident happened to the creature and the video is here.

I don't buy it. Does anyone actually believe Tom Brady is going to lose out on endorsement deals because Josh Gordon smokes too much pot? Give me a break.

Fine, but those that believe that won't do drugs. It's not in any players' best interest for the league to be arbitrarily and unnecessarily testing for recreational drugs. Those that believe they're bad won't come up positive anyway, and those that do them will be penalized for something completely irrelevant. …

Actually, no, they should leave the criminal investigations to the police. It's fine to suspend players who get arrested, because that has a direct impact on the team and the league's publicity. But the league should no more be investigating a player's relationship with his family than they should be conducting…

She's not doing herself or her cause any favors by refusing to out these people.

To a great point made earlier, this penalty was collectively bargained. Signed off on by the players union.

That's a goddamned good question. That sounds like an egregious oversight by the player's union.
