Having been to a fair number of PAXs, though, the shift is a real thing. I first attended in '08. That year, the vast majority of booths featured playable demos, and most of the big publishers were giving out shirts to anyone who stopped by. Often times, the developers themselves would be there to walk you through the…

It's an opinion piece. The author makes that abundantly clear. This is the author laying his cards on the table. He says this is why he isn't going to PAX this year, not that you shouldn't go, either. Fact of the matter is that nobody is truly impartial and unbiased. That's just human nature. Anyone who says otherwise…

It wouldn't surprise me, since Dortmund's roster is essentially Bayern's shopping list.

Good play by Reus, there. I think this kid's ceiling is incredibly high.

"Why are you telling me all of this?"
"Because. They'll never believe you."

Note the complete absence of Hitchcock in this episode. I bet it's Hitchcock.

Terry came here to learn the Japanese language and culture, but has learned only heartbreak!

They were Home Alone Face!

I've always hated the notion that a man can only be friends with a woman if he wants to have sex with her, because it just doesn't jibe with my experiences. It reduces men to sex-crazed animals, and women to the objects of their gaze. That's why I love it when shows go the other way on this and show adult heterosexual…

I like…pie?

I must be even worse at parties than I originally thought! I fall into no less than 12 of those categories. (hangs head in shame)

Of the guys brought in over the summer, I would say that Christian Eriksen is the most likely survivor of a summer cull. Lamela, Paulinho, Soldado, and Chadli are the ones I would pin on being actively shipped, while Johnny Verts and Hugo are likely to seek greener pastures on their own.

Also interesting is the way Slade lies about his past, specifically about the fact that he has children…COMIC NERDS!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS, RIGHT?!?

What was Wenger thinking, bringing Walcott on so early?

Also, "What was Wenger thinking, bringing Walcott on so early?" "That's the problem with Arsenal: They're always trying to walk it in."

Look, the dude's a gooner. That's all there is to it. The dude's twitter feed is nothing but Arsenal every weekend, and it's the worst.

Finally, someone took that gooner off the air!

As you state, it's the stability, which allows the skier to place more weight forward in their tucks and ski more aggressively than a skier on shorter skis which more than makes up for the increased friction.

One thing I note is also that high-turnout socially aware liberals typically avoid the mass-marketed candies out of concern for worker welfare, but these are usually such small-batch items that they would register as barely a blip for any one company at a time, statistically speaking.

Tiny Terry loves his pickles.
