    I believe they would be considered certs as they’re highly specialized, but I could be wrong.

    Servais wasn’t her boss. Beyond that, while that response you typed out is dickish it’s not what they said, they told her it’s because she’s a woman, which is a pretty big difference.

    Which is weird, because she’s worked for bigger teams in the NFL and NBA so she’s used to the environment of big sports teams and isn’t likely to be intimidated by them. Not to mention she’s incredibly well-educated and smart enough to be a speaker at MIT-Sloan sports analytics conference teaching other very smart…

    Education isn’t over for many people once you get a PhD, particularly in the medical field. You can get post-doctoral specialty degrees that show you’re certified to do certain things, many are tied to state or federal requirements to call you a particular type of specialty doctor. So for example, to call yourself a…

    But at least the Resident Evil movies kinda sort followed some of the plot. Umbrella is an evil company that makes zombies for reasons and only a few people know the truth and fight to stop them. Yes, the plot is completely different past the broad details, but at least they kinda sorta get the right vibe. This movie…

    The fact that he doesn’t say, you know, “We need to bring players back” or something similar and uses such bizarre business-speak tells you everything you need to know about Destiny and Activision-Blizzard.

    The only (relatively) safe youth football is touch/flag football. You’re basically talking about kids not doing tackling/blocking until adulthood and that means college kids hitting for the first time which will hurt the game’ excitement.

    I think it’s just supposed to be a caricature...Ronaldo’s statue was actually supposed to look like him.

    So...I’m going to be that guy. Most likely explanation, based on the size, is that an animal left that piece of shit, not a human. Based on the size of the foot near it, I’m guessing that’s maybe half an inch wide and 3-4 inches long. Probably a raccoon or a similar small mammal that was hanging out in the stadium…

    Looks like his ancestors participated in the Inbreeder’s Cup.

    As an example, we haven’t seen a new, proper, Warcraft RTS since 2002.

    To be fair, a lot of fans worried that they would never see another proper TES and would just get more of the MMO and ANOTHER Skyrim re-release.

    I watched Caddyshack and...quite frankly didn’t get why it was so beloved. Some of Rodney Dangerfield’s lines are great and Bill Murray and the groundhog got some slapstick laughs from me...but the rest fell flat.

    Except “limited time” is designed exactly to hit certain manipulative sweet spots in the brain. The random nature of lootboxes is still designed to go after gambling addicts. Just because you don’t find them manipulative doesn’t mean there isn’t some poor souls out there that spent way too much on Overwatch lootboxes.…

    I mean...why not just say “hey, we don’t really have anything to announce at Blizzcon this year so tickets are cheaper and it’s mostly just for fun this year”?  I mean, I know why, money, but still...not great optics from a PR standpoint.

    No no, that’s exactly why they’re so upset. The guys at Blizzcon payed $200+ to be there and because they like to play PC games, they release this game is aimed at China. Releasing a mobile ripoff for China would probably go over without too many grumbles if it was some sort of small announcement, but this was part of…

    I don’t understand the pivot to mobile games. The ones that rake in cash are exploitative, and that’s not something Blizzard wants to associate with.

    Put this in perspective: Every single person in that room spent $200+ to see this.  Tickets to Blizzcon are $199 + relevant taxes and fees.  Many of these folks flew in to California to see this so add in hotel and plane tickets.  These are the most hardcore of the hardcore Blizzard’s PC game fans, they aren’t going…

    Hearthstone started on PC, then went to mobile.
