We can circle back and touch base offline about this later, but I’d like to get everyone’s buy-in before we start drilling down to the key deliverables.

The core problem with Boston is that it thinks it is a more important City than it really is. Bostonians think of their home as an A-tier city alongside New York, Chicago, and LA. In reality they are more in the Denver/Miami/Seattle tier.

Is there any City in America that’s more up-its-own ass than Boston? I meet transplants from there all the time who treat every little regional media scandal like this as if it’s a national conversation that the whole country should be talking about. And they refer to these dipshit Southie jabber-jocks by their show…

“WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PC BULLCRAP?!? I’M 1/128th CHEROKEE AND I AIN’T GOT A PROBLEM WITH CHIEF WAHOO!!!”

He should just say “whites only” and get it over with.

CGI is pretty good these days, Vince. Just pay some video game studio $100 million to simulate some realistic-looking fake games with fake teams, hand the footage over to your commentary team for some ADR work, broadcast it on the WWE Network, and call it a day.

This is going to fail for the same reasons it failed last time (plus more).

That game’s been ported/remastered/re-released so many times I just assumed it was available on pretty much every platform now.

Dude, what the hell are you smoking?

If you believe the backstage rumors, the dude is despised by most of the roster and had been kicked off team busses and out of the locker room for various reasons totally unrelated to this. He was on thin ice even before the rape charge broke and was pretty much only pushed by WWE because he sold more merch than…

Not a good example. Other M was very much a Metroid game: same universe, same characters, same gameplay. It just turned out to be a shitty game with a shitty story that people didn’t like.

That game features Mario and other Mario universe characters. Not an apt comparison.

Seriously. Not to mention the pregnancy risk. The more neckbeards we can prevent from spreading their genes, the better. The last thing society needs is a generation of boys whose fathers live on r/redpill.

Counterpoint: Maybe it’s actually a good thing to remove these emotionally-stunted mysoginistic neckbeards from the genetic marketplace? I say we make all the plastic fuck-dolls we need to keep these losers away from real women. The fewer r/redpill users we have potentially siring children, the better.

I think their initial strategy was to admit nothing publicly and quietly settle with any athletes who threatened to sue.

Based on what?

A Vegas residency gig seems like the perfect situation for an A-list singer to spend their child-raising years. You get to make a ton of money and perform before adoring crowds every night, while still getting to spend time with your kids every day. No having to be apart from your kids for months on end during their…

I never played the Prey series so I can’t really comment. Was there some shitty spinoff they made with the same title?

Because nothing in Metal Gear makes sense and it’s riddled with plot holes. Kojima is just throwing random political and philosophical bullshit at the wall to see what sticks. The games are a lot more fun if you don’t think too hard and just enjoy the ride.

Raiden was an interesting commentary on gamer culture, but that doesn’t make him an interesting protagonist. Kojima could have made the exact same point by making Raiden a secondary character. Being shackled to an unlikable protagonist for most of MGS2 just dragged it down.
