No, this doesn’t destroy immersion. It just gives you a specific character to roleplay, whose identity you can then imagine and act out as you would in any other game of this type.

I don’t think we really disagree, I’m a Mets fan and have a strong distaste of the Marlins but I don’t think the lack of winning is what’s fueling the low attendance. They even won the WS in 2003...that’s not THAT long ago if you really think about it (and won in 97 too). Hence the Cubs (and Mets for that matter) even…
I’m a big MLS fan, but the Miami deal definitely concerns me. Other than LA, which is a bit of an outlier due to sheer population size and more soccer-friendly demographics, MLS has done best in small markets where they can carve out a bigger chunk of the local sports conversation (Portland, Salt Lake, KC...Orlando…
soccer is working and people are watching. you don’t have to. That is cool. But the fact is that MLS and US soccer are doing just fine. Within a decade, only the NFL will be demonstrably more popular.
This is not true. Yes, half of the half million plus hispanic population is Cuban. The second largest groups, however, are the Colombian and Central American populations, where soccer is king. There is a very significant Peruvian and Argentinian and Venezuelan populations as well. Then, there is the very robust…
As a Miamian and life long south Floridian I agree with you.
The truly funny thing is that most of Miami’s Hispanics are from Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, which are baseball rather than soccer countries. And the Marlins still can’t draw shit. I have no idea why they think soccer will fare better
Hahahahahahahaha. Did Beckham even bother going to a Marlins game to see for himself how quickly Miami “fans” don’t care about going to those games? Soccer is really going to be that different? Yeah, yeah, yeah, all the South Americans and other Hispanic cultures in Miami will embrace it - tell that to Martin Prado,…
You may be right. But if your “joke” has to be explained to that many people, then perhaps it’s not a very good joke.
I’ve seen that scene. So I knew the reference, but it still struck me as one of those “I’m using a joke to really complain about what I really want to complain about but in a funny way in case people want to give me shit for it” type of things.
Not necessarily. I was not grayed, then I had to make a new account because my old job blocked Facebook and that is how my account used to log in, and this new account I’ve had on Jezebel for like, four years? I was just never ungrayed. I’ve asked. But I don’t think I comment enough or say enough witty funny things to…
There are a finite number of spots. Empire is good but there were better shows. Also, Broad City is no where near good enough to get a nod. It's not even on the short list of good shows right now.
I’m a BC fan but...seems really petty to be like “where is my emmy nod”.
This is bullshit. Tatiana Maslany was shut out for two years running and never said a harsh word about it, because she’s a class act. The process is what it is, and bitching when you don’t get in just makes it harder for anyone to come around to the idea that you deserve to get in.
Tatiana Maslany diserves all the emmy nominations. All of them.
oh it’s leagues better. plus it’s gender-neutral - there’s a deadbeat boyfriend and a deadbeat girl.
but sonically and thematically, basically the same?
They say we’re losers but we’re all alright with that
I would've loved this back when I was 14 and loved Green Day and stealing my mom's cigarettes.
Every time I see videos of SCII I’m reminded how much I WANT to love playing multiplayer and how much I TOTALLY suck at it.
