Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I had no interest in playing Metal Gear Survive, and honestly still don’t. But this review is one of the few times I’ve thought a game journalist scratched the surface of examining games in the same way other “art” is analyzed.

Thank you for your excellent analysis and actual deference toward some the people who slogged to make this happen. THIS is what game journalism could/should be, not a laundry list of graphics/sound/gameplay, but a keen eye to observe even a bad game as an important cultural artifact.

I appreciate the sentiment, but also am extremely dubious at the idea that a teen boy isn’t watching porn based on the amount he’s willing to report his use to his mom.

Watching The Walking Dead has become a perfect metaphor for being on The Walking Dead. At this point, I sincerely believe more people have stopped watching the show than have continued. I died at the end of Season 3. My friends made it to 5. I have a co-worker who’s been bitten and plans to die off at the end of this…

This tournament should rotate between Indy, Chicago, and Detroit with their new arena. Anywhere else is dumb.

I remember when Trump first got elected you complained about BIG PASSPORT charging an arm and a leg for passport photos, because you might jump ship to Australia while Trump was president. Why didn’t you make the plunge?

I’m liking these new tennis kids a lot.

Amazing win. “Taught” him in clinics when he was a 6 year old creating havoc at the tennis center, so super cool to see him win a title.

Man that is messed up, and right after he shoots Richie Incognito, I really think we need to take his guns away from him.

I think I’ve found his next broadcast partner!!

Here is my impression of women after being asked to have sex by Bode Miller:

I was at the game (I actually emailed Phan’s tweet in because I wanted to be doing something other than watching the Bucks) and I’d like to note that A) this wasn’t really a thriller (the Bucks were basically blown out) and B) Thon Maker probably should not be in the NBA much less STARTING for a playoff team.

I mean, Catholic lady up there spent her morning at Mass praying and look where it got her.

Let’s be honest, how much do you *really* want to know about punting?

Just read Burneko. He’s an expert in everything.

Every league has that one team that epitomizes dysfunctional. In baseball it’s the Marlins. The NFL has the Browns. The NHL it’s the Islanders. Undoubtedly for the NBA is the Kings. Every since the Webber Era ended Cowtown has been abysmal. The Maloofs lost the franchise (and nearly their dad’s fortune) due to a bad…
