Ladies and gentlemen, your 2018 Rose Bowl Game Presented by Comcast-AT&T: Rutgers vs. Utah. Bask in the tradition.

Don't blame Detroit baseball fans for Mitch Albom. We can't stand the fucker either.

Just as with Kotaku's Medal of Honor Warfighter review, giving a "should you play this game?" decision for an FPS based solely on its singleplayer campaign shows a desire to be first rather than a desire to be informative. These are games that are overwhelmingly purchased for multiplayer (I was something like a…

I know that you have to shrug off haters, and I don't mean this to be nasty, but I quite honestly don't have a single sports fan friend who says they enjoy your work (at least in baseball). You're not an over-the-top love-em-or-hate-em Hawk Harrelson or Brent Musburger or Dick Vitale type, what do you think inspires…

In my circle of gaming friends, the single-player component of an FPS is only slightly more important than the box art. People don't spend gazillions on Call of Duty Du Jour or BFWhatever because they're really excited about whatever halfass Tom Clancy-lite storyline the single-player campaign offers. They buy them so…

Only 10-15% of a paper book's cost is the actual physical printing.

Detroit has an off-and-on IndyCar "Detroit Grand Prix" that takes place on Belle Isle, which is an island park in the middle of the Detroit River that was designed by the same person who did Central Park in New York. The track pavement had bad quality issues in the 2012 race and they're re-paving it for 2013.

Cat's Cradle? Really? I'll quote Theodore Sturgeon's review: "You better take it lightly, because if you don't you'll go off crying and shoot yourself."

I was out drinking with a friend-of-a-friend Ford engineer a few months ago, and he said yes, independent rear suspension. (He didn't realize until too late that what he'd said was a big deal for a Mustang geek, it came out of a wider discussion we were having about CAD/CAE and he was explaining how they were using…

"Four consecutive, uninterrupted hours a day?" I've been running client accounts for PR agencies for 15 years and the only time that's ever happened is the day after Thanksgiving, when I use the peace and quiet to do my annual desk cleaning and office organization.

OK, Wardell's apparently a jackass and probably deserves to get sued. Stipulated. But I couldn't help noticing from the filing that Miseta has retained the Platonic ideal of scumbag lawyers, Geoff Feiger. I can't root for her to win just because I'm sure he gets a piece of the judgement/settlement.

I got so far into CoH that I actually (gasp) wrote some fanfiction that they enjoyed enough to print in their old dead-tree comic book that subscribers used to receive. I've played a lot of MMOs, including being hardcore into WoW endgame server-first raiding, but no other game's ever inspired me to actually try to…

Save the fat jokes for his buddy Prince Fielder.

As a 15-year veteran PR guy (but not in the games industry), I'd caution that 90% of the time when people are being told not to talk, it's by the lawyers, not us. Specifically, anything regarding "forward looking statements" involves paranoid securities attorneys.

Forget the kinda-looks-like-it fuzzy canopy photos. Among other things that China's still missing are two key components to actually accomplishing anything with those fancy stealth fighters: Pilot training and worthwhile command & control.

In the correspondents' defense, Sharp is a fucking moron. His schtick is to take the "unpopular" side of any issue, usually talking about how Detroit teams will lose or suck or need to be broken up. I don't know a single sports fan in Detroit who actually reads him for fun, he's our Brent Musburger or Joe Buck.

This is where you hope that the Beastie Boys, who are big Knicks fans, fuck with Jay-Z for appropriating the title of the Paul's Boutique song "Hello Brooklyn" from 1989.

BRB, starting a Kickstarter to send Raffi Torres and Matt Cooke to a Nickelback concert before June 20.

The USAF had a love/hate relationship with Kelly, Ben Rich and the Skunk Works, since the Lockheed crew tended to prove conventional Air Force wisdom wrong with regularity, and Kelly had relationships with senior DoD and elected officials that would let him skip over the mid-level purchasing brass and their fiefdoms.…

By 15 games, no less. If a sniper had taken out Justin Verlander in May, the Tribe might have had a chance.
