For the record, Subban did get penalized for that play. He and Ryan Reaves got offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct minors for their attempted fight. Subban got a second minor for roughing, though, and I cant’ see any reason for it other than giving Bellemare the Inverted Mandible Claw. How Ekholm walked away unscathed…

On console, Sea of Thieves is lost in the shuffle because every game on the platform is in the same store.

The Spirit of Exasperation.

After seeing the header picture, I would guess that they selected the shades of purple for the interior of the “Phantom in Fuxia” by imagining what a more mundane interior would look like through a deep-and-obviously-not-street-legal purple windshield tint.

That Sage Green 458 is what an 0ff-white interior looks like inside The Matrix.

“Abandon Windows entirely to prop up Xbox 360” was a very Steve Ballmer decision. Satya Nadella at least has Microsoft Games shipping new titles on Windows again, but their corporate culture is still rooted in that console-first mentality. They really don’t want to admit or confront how poorly they treated PC gamers…

So the Toyota 86's engine...

Mini is proof that BMW can build a fun FWD car, as I can personally attest. (If only it didn’t have a Peugeot engine...) Moving the 2 Series to the UKL platform should be an improvement in packaging over the current RWD models, and ride quality over Mini’s usual “go-kart” suspension tuning. If Collins’ review of the X2

Oh, I’m sure it’s a power play, started by Overwatch eating Destiny’s lunch. You can see it between the lines of this report. Animated shorts and web comics aren’t “directly making video games”, and that’s a big chunk of Overwatch’s story development and appeal right there. If you told me Ashe’s introduction was the…

According to Autoblog’s post, they’re restarting with some serious restrictions:

Renegade is too small and awkward. Something as proudly boxy as this should be compared to the XJ Cherokee.

For the sake of all that is holy, please tell me Kinja ate the sarcasm tag on that post.

I was wondering if the Penguins were still a high-ticket attraction for the Red Wings until I remembered that GMG’s house style is anti-Oxford comma.

Epic has bumrushed the stage because they are using Fortnite BR in the same manner Valve used Half-Life 2 as a crowbar (heh) to get Steam onto our PCs. If there’s a piece of software in 2018 that can be called a “killer app” as it was always understood, it’s Fortnite.

GOG was relatively quiet this year. The approval of Opus Magnum after their curators got a little too high on their own supply and rejected it resolved itself by Feburary. CD Projekt’s occasional habit of dropping truly awful social media posts was mostly centered around CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077, so it was mostly a…

I’m disappointed in the lack of Brigitte goalie skin. I’m picturing her whacking opponents with a goalie stick like she was Billy Smith making like a lumberjack on Gretzky’s ankles.

Digital Foundry’s analysis of RDR2 had the XB1S dead last in image quality, while the XB1X version was miles ahead of even the PS4 Pro.

ROB has an IP68 rating, obviously.

Gotta go for the Senators. All of these teams are bad at their respective sports, and the Sens certainly meet that basic requirement. They were one goal away from the Stanley Cup Final in 2017 before crashing to earth the following season. But it’s the drilling down to bedrock with a litany of off-ice incidents that…
