I am just so psyched for EG, and especially for Fear. Old Man DOTA, having been to the first International, and now at the end of an era he takes home an Aegis despite half his team defecting to the LeBron-era Heat of DOTA teams. And look at the rest of EG: Suma1L, A 16-year old Pakistani immigrant; aui_2000, who was…

I feel like this is a huge missed opportunity for the series. I’ve always wanted an early/mid 1800s Assassin’s Creed game set in England, but I always envisioned the player character enmeshed in the labyrinthine world of British high society. Similar to the masquerade mission in Dishonored, but writ larger. Why walk…

Shitty tie-in games/pinball machines/slot machines/etc. to larger franchises don’t generally bother me, provided they aren’t regarded as a significant part of the franchise. I mean, I don’t hate any of the MCU movies because the games suck.

I’ve always found this acceptable. It’s a universally reasonable way to acknowledge and or gain the attention of a human being. You raise your hand in school, you wave to a friend/acquaintance, you wave to your parents as you desperately try to gain their attention so they’ll find you in an arena or theater, as though…

Okay, clearly the woman at TGI Fridays was a loon, so this is not a “Pinkham’s Law” post. I would just like to point out that TGI Fridays sucks because they don’t keep their vodka in a freezer, the way God intended.

Who else should Rousey have fought? What fighter at her weight has she avoided?

I don’t have much to say regarding all this except to note that I admire Fallon Fox for pushing this, for more than just the normal moral courage type deal. If Rhonda Rousey, a woman who is catastrophically good at maiming other human beings, said she didn’t want to fight me, I’d probably send a brief thank you to the…

Wasn’t there one about being a corndog that escaped from a state fair?

I do think you’re naive. Unfortunately, I think the reality is that “black” culture is still segregated and isolated from the mainstream of our culture in various ways, some obvious (Murder, police brutality, Confederate flags atop statehouses) and some subtle. When your perspective is so thoroughly divorced from…

No, the actual funny thing is that people buy that Bruce Wayne becoming a costumed vigilante is a better solution to a corrupt city govt than using his immense wealth and influence to change Gotham for the better. This is a point the author makes.

Agreed. Even as a dude, competitive online gaming is basically just a place where a bunch of assholes go to scream slurs at each other for an hour. These days the only time I’m playing with other people is in cooperative endeavors. MMO raiding, co-op shooters, horde modes, etc.

I know Paul Levesque is in charge of NXT, which is where women’s wrestling is being given it’s fairest chance (by WWE standards), so my presumption has always been that Stephanie and her husband have shown a definite and sincere interest in showcasing “Divas,” where they were able, but that Vince’s iron grip on the…

Agreed. Paul Levesque (Triple H) actually runs NXT irl, and apparently elevating the level of women’s wrestling in WWE was a particularly important part of his plan there. Presumably Stephanie was heavily involved in that as well. I’m glad old man McMahon finally gave them a chance to bring some of that talent to the…

...maybe

Unsweetened Iced Tea. Boom, blowin’ minds erryday.

If you watched the TV show you would know there are two, Connor and Duncan. Neither played by a Scotsman.

It still somewhat shocks me that we had to wait until the Game Boy Advance SP for Nintendo to offer up a back-lit handheld. That said, I still have my SP, that was a fantastic little machine. I really wish I had some friends willing to rock some Crystal Chronicles or Four Swords, I still have my Gamecube chilling and…

I too was shocked by the climax of this story.

Yup. One of the best things about driving in Germany. Also, unlike most truck drivers in the US, German semi drivers understand that slow traffic includes them. Which does make it extra excruciating on the rare occasion that some Polish bastard in an ancient Scania decides to pass a lumber hauler.

No, don't!
