The only thing I’ve ever seen Chevy Chase in that I liked him in (not the people working with him, but the man himself) was Three Amigos.  I don’t get the love for the Vacation movies and while he was fine in Community, the reason to watch it was not because Chevy Chase was in it.  Quite frankly, I mostly agree with…

As someone who wasn’t around when Chevy Chase was a thing, I always thought I was alone in being mostly unamused by his “comedy”.  Glad to know I’m not the only one.

That’s...not in any way how this works. First, there’s no such thing as an atmospheric thermal envelope. Second, if the winters get warmer...things just get warmer, storms don’t instantly become ice storms in the winter. Third, it’s fall. Fourth, these storms typically don’t go far enough north to cause any sort of…

I’m American too, and you’re wrong.

I find it interesting that Nero now looks pretty much identical to Dante at the end of the DmC reboot.

This is not correct, at least in the US.  In the US the central franchise hub, such as the NFL or the NBA, technically makes no money.  After costs, they redistribute money to franchises (and therefore to owners) and then the franchises/owners pay the taxes.  Now, about that tax rate and exemptions they can get...

That’s a problem with your government, not the sport. If the money wasn’t on offer from crooked politicians, billionaires wouldn’t come forth with a hand out asking for money.

The esports teams are draining money from the main team’s budget, that’s their complaint.  Most of these guys probably already have season tickets, so they essentially got in “for free” and then threw things on the field in protest.  Pretty common in European football, at least they weren’t throwing bananas at black…

I mean, FIFA doesn’t have a lot to do with teams at this level. Most places follow FIFA’s rules of the games and each national football assocation (or FA) has ties to it, but the Allsvenska, the Swedish top pro league, is largely independent on the Swedish national FA. Protesting FIFA’s actions and corruption at a…

First the mismanagement, then the vultures; Hawley is a grim-reaper brought in by boards to fire people en masse, Zynga brought him in to fire basically everyone.

Talent.  Most developers aren’t too keen on living in a small town in the Midwest, hell a lot of developers are keen to get far away from small towns.  The talent is in places like San Francisco or LA or Seattle, and you need that talent.  Beyond talent pool, it also makes collaboration easier since other companies…

A lot of factors. For one, competition is more fierce than ever before. For another, most people that start a game company aren’t particular great with the business side of things; by the time someone with business chops gets involved its already too late. Lastly, good old-fashioned corruption. A popular trend in the…

Except the money, the “15%” fictious number you cite is bullshit, for one, and for two, most companies could pay for it by cutting into profits. At one point, the tax structures in this country encouraged such investment in human capital.

A lot of grocery store workers are already unionized:

To be clear, they didn’t change anything in the game, the last patch was September 4th. Someone got some unlikely rolls (50%+ female generals) and whined about it online. Their response is entirely reasonable: we’re not going to remove content just because a vocal minority don’t want to see female generals, which…

Not saying it can’t, just calling it the sole cause is a stretch.  And given that this is the “World Health Organization”, presumably rotgut is still an issue worldwide.  All sorts of terrible home made alcohols exist in poorer countries.

Well, the good news is that as a Civil War re-enactor in his off time, Andrew Luck is well acquainted with fighting a losing battle.

I’m...really skeptical of this report. DUI deaths? Sure. Accidental fatal accidents? Getting a little shakier, but sure. Cancer? I mean, alcohol is a known contributor to certain cancers, but calling it a cause is a stretch. Digestive disorders? If you’re drinking some horrible rotgut or you’re just a complete and…

This man died playing a game for free to get an education and maybe a shot at the pros, but you know who should have died?  The NCAA.  #DeathToTheNCAA

Except you can.  Most games built upon chance have similar secondary marketplaces and third party websites.  Just look at the CS:GO loot box gambling fiasco to see a great/horrible example of that.  Right now I can go out and buy some players for the latest FIFA game.  Yes, technically those “break the EULA” of the…
