I agree that it could have interrogated issues that we don’t discuss enough, but surely there are less recent tragedies that might be mined for that? Allowing 10-20 years or more to pass before taking artistic license with the stories of actual human beings (living or dead) seems like a reasonable ask.

Love that Call of Juarez: Gunslinger made the list. Such a great way to deliver a frame tale in game form. Alpha Protocol also deserves its spot.

I mean, the only thing Pittsburgh really deserves is to be swallowed by the earth, so the headline is unquestionably true. That said, Tomlin seems to have spent 13 years taking a team with an excellent QB (who is also, it must be noted, a colossal shitbag) to just below the top level. I feel like Tomlin consistently…

Woah woah woah, no one calls Rick a “b player” in my presence.  That man’s apron game is sooooo strong.

No dig at Pewdiepie is unnecessary.  He fucking sucks, and it should be okay to say that about Youtubers who are low-key neo-nazis.

I don’t know how you interpreted potential violations of labor law as not illegal, but it’s right in the above story that the company mis-classified workers as overtime exempt.

Those emotional and spiritual changes are quantifiable, and they have a name: placebo effect.

I honestly wasn’t serious about sprites, for exactly the reasons you stated. It’s just not realistic given current tech and economic realities.

Or! Or! The success of their games with monsters, horror and demons will lead them to: new Darkstalkers confirmed! Can’t wait to see that on an Evo stage my dudes!

As a fighting game I think SF5 is solid enough, I prefer it mechanically over 4, but I’m old and bad at games so...

“How dumbass are you if you are" a herb who ruined a great site about bad cereal rankings.

Zombie Deadspin deserves such an ignominious end.

Deadspin forever.

I’d like to compliment the headline/lead image synergy here.  I couldn’t possibly not click on this.

As a widely reviled SJW, I can confirm that gender reveals are ridiculous and dumb regardless of social justice context.

You know, I hadn’t even thought of that comparison, honestly, but it’s absolutely valid. I was already pissed off to see people advocating for double standards for YouTubers, but this is absolutely fucking on point. People are always worried about what will happen to the weeping white boy, whether it’s because he…

I think her position is weak, though. She refused to vote for a resolution that was simultaneously a repudiation of Trump and an increasingly authoritarian Turkey, as well as a historic acknowledgement of a genocide.  Those three things are all worth doing, and saying "but what about all the crimes we did?" doesn't…

I think Shayna Baszler is way more than “Rhonda Rousey’s friend,” given that she was in NXT before Rousey made her debut, and I’d argue she’s a much better pro wrestler.

Well if you're interested in Stellaris or EU4 send me a message on Steam, I go by the same screen name there.  I can't promise to teach you the best way to play, but I can at least get you in.

Because, and I cannot stress this enough, the Muscovites are barbarian scum. There will come a day when Brandenburg’s might eclipses theirs, and on that day there will be a reckoning.
