American English-speakers use “defenestration” too infrequently. It's an excellent word.

Ah, but what if they were signed to play in some kind of lower league; a “minor league,” if you will. There, promising players could play against each other and develop the skills necessary to play for top-flight teams, all while being paid for the privilege. Players unable to move up might still employ themselves…

I would love to see the Apple App Store response letter to the submission of a game like this.

Are the original FF really a big money-maker for Marvel these days? Regardless, I feel like they’ve run their course, what with their godlike children and whatever the fuck (please, Marvel, stop with the Franklins and the Hopes and the rest of these messianic children, it’s boring and ridiculous to see them being the…

Add this to the list of examples for why state government should be abolished.

How much tequila do you think is in a $4 margarita? How long do you think a whole night of trivia is? If they took in an ounce of tequila per margarita (which I think is generous) over 4 hours that’s 1.75 “drinks” per hour, which is certainly impairing, but hardly catastrophic. With weaker drinks, over more time, it’s…

I would recommend Buzzfeed if you’re looking for a site whose marketing and editorial departments work more closely in concert.

That’s literally the opposite of a conflict of interests.

As ridiculous as the multiplayer requirements for Crystal Chronicles were, the mechanical usage of the GBA was awesome, and that game is fucking hilarious in groups. The various dungeons had tons of personality, and the semi-competitive nature of the runs made backstabbing joyous. Each player had a unique map on their…

I’d buy in just to avoid the ads while on my phone.

Um, all that content wasn’t provided free, Payday 2 has a shitload of DLC: maps, weapons, etc.

They aren’t forced to buy drills, but from what I’m seeing many of the players who are upset about this are undoubtedly some of their best customers. They bought the game itself and a boatload of DLC, only for their play to be further monetized. As a former WoW player, I would have been pissed if Blizz started a real…

I have no confidence in the Main Roster writers doing anything with their female talent - whoops I mean “Divas.”

Fucking hell that looks awesome. Netflix has really been nailing these Marvel series so far.

Word. I read it and thought “Wow, has it already been 9 years since they started on Star Citizen?”

Yeah, I wish those kids would get off your lawn too.

Why should that character arc exist? It would arguably be more interesting if the conflict at the end wasn’t between the Emperor and Luke for Vader’s “soul” but rather partly an internal one for Luke. How does Luke reconcile believing himself to be a good person with the knowledge that his father is a homicidal…

You know, Burneko, between this and the Superman thing, you’re really on point.

Now, I would normally never advocate that people use their valuable time “reading” something like a “book,” but an exception to this rule is the (now deprecated by Disney) Thrawn Trilogy. It is basically Star Wars unchained from Lucas’ desperate desire for merchandisin’. No Ewoks, the only major new alien race are…

I don’t work in food service (anymore) and I know that corporate environments are different everywhere, but I just absolutely love people who e-mail/mail/fax complaint letters in. Our quality assurance folks basically ignore like 95% of them, because they don’t include any information about who the issue is related…
