Admittedly I'm in that camp...never really follow the NBA much until the playoffs outside of my Warriors - so this has been the most fun season in my life, but I digress - and whenever I look over at the Eastern standings I keep wondering when the shoe is going to drop because the idea of the Hawks, Raptors and…

With the utter lack of title parity in the NBA, I'm not sure if simply judging by titles is the best way to go, and considering coherent, multi-season tanking is obviously a LONG-term plan, we'll have to see if it ever pays off for the Sixers. However, it would seem prudent, to me, to also be able to acknowledge…

I'm definitely all for learning real guitar, have been semi-trying myself. But Rocksmith's not really competing for Rock Band's fanbase in the sense that nobody - save members of actual bands - is gonna pull out Rocksmith to get a bunch of people to play along at a party. The brilliance of Rock Band was how fun it…

That's entirely fair; I'm from the suburbs of a major city in California and have always been around metropolitan areas and tons of people., so there isn't much personal connection. Then again, I'd wager most of the Hollywood types that lavished praise on the film aren't exactly from small towns or the country either…

Ok, so this isn't related to the article, but to the comment: what was I missing with Nebraska? I always try to watch the Best Picture nominees and I'm far from some kind of popcorn film fan, LOVED The Descendants so I was anxiously awaiting Alexander Payne's next movie...but that just never really resonated with me,…

What's the context for that GIF? Was that a skit or is this a rare confused/nonplussed Tom Hanks?

I just love how John Smoltz is called a Braves "hurler", because apparently "pitcher" wasn't KOOL enough for ESPN2.

Well, if it's any solace, OU/KNU might end up with better students only because more have heard of them through the football program. And I'm sure some of those billions will filter down to the other, less relevant parts of any university: its academics. /sarcasm

As someone who graduated from college this year - which means all I remember as a college football fan, really, is those 15 years of decent performance - I can say that while I never seriously considered Oregon, in my mind it was definitely a football school in the same sense as, say, USC or Ohio State or Alabama. I…

Wasn't this Little Mac a month or two ago?

When the choice is between you opening it there and buying it somewhere else, I've very seldom seen a retailer give up a sale.

Possibly, though SFV only has one to jump to while Tomb Raider has two. And my suspicion is a solid year; Tomb Raider may be there sooner, but only because it'll probably be out sooner too, considering a SFV developer said it's barely at the beginning of the development cycle. In terms of actual time as an…

First of all, that link is excellent.

And of course, the "movement"'s people will claim that misogyny and threats are an unfortunate side effect that they care about too but the "real issue" is about journalistic ethics, which means nothing Kotaku says would ever solve the problem since they're on the inside and therefore obviously biased or some crap…

Firstly, we don't know that about either game. While Microsoft confirmed Rise of the Tomb Raider's exclusivity "has a duration", that same article mentioned that Dead Rising 3 and Ryse did as well, and while at least those were also out on PC they (so far) still haven't made it anywhere else. And Microsoft is…

100% in agreement but it wouldn't surprise me if there's a whole separate article about that sometime before the year is out. They probably also - accurately - figured that would completely hijack the comments section of this article so they'd keep it separate for now. I mean just look at the most-commented piece:…

Firstly, I'd wager that's because it's still available on PC. Rise of the Tomb Raider is only going to be initially available on X1, shutting out not only PlayStation gamers but the sizable group that bought the game on PC.
