My entire Magic experience is contained in a few weeks, when a friend told me I had to get into Magic, I observed that my parents would never give me money to spend on collectible cards, and he said "well, here, have this shitty deck of random cards I don't want anymore." Then I played a few games where I got…

"If Steven Avery is innocent, why wasn't he shouting it from the rooftops?"
—this guy in an alternate universe where Steven Avery didn't do a bunch of interviews

Isn't just a special kind of despicable that Walker, a guy who has used the governor's office to make huge power plays against teachers, unions generally, and the entire university system in Wisconsin, boasts about how he won't ever use a power that is vested in him so that he can correct errors in the justice system…

I had an atypically smooth experience with wii motion controls all around, so I can imagine how other people might have had less of a good time with the game than me. My bombs always rolled where I wanted them to roll, Mario always did the star move when I wanted him to!

It does! I'm fortunately no longer young enough to get that worked up about the weird standards Nintendo gets held to by a lot of the gaming community, but certainly a decade and more ago it was infuriating to watch all the weird whiplash U-turns in critical appraisal. I think the most drastic case is probably Wind…

If he didn't kill her, why did he do so many media interviews? What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?

Isn't it sad that Steven Avery has an IQ of 70, all the typical young man behavioural issues of a poorly educated redneck, spent most of his life in prison, and yet seems a smarter, more thoughtful, and more level headed man than most of the people who put him in prison?

I'm pretty sure that few people share my love of the game, but I really, really loved it. Time will tell if we get the usual Zelda critical cycle, where the WiiU one comes out, gets great reviews, and then a few months later everyone's talking about how it ruined the series and how Skyward Sword is an underrated gem.

Those are both games that Nintendo's studios worked on, though. This seems more along the lines of Madworld, where they get another studio to fill the "mature"* niche that the "hardcore" gamers demand and then find out that nobody wants to buy it because those guys are a minority of internet whiners and they don't own…

I think for that to really be what Nintendo wanted people would have to be talking about Devil's Third in the first place!

Well, I guess by only mocking the audience of the documentary to implicitly suggest that no one could legitimately be upset by the obvious miscarriage of justice in this case and the Averys for not being exciting enough in their real life phone conversations Joe Blevins is at least a bit less scummy than Marah Eakin,…

…maybe if you try watching the whole thing (possibly while awake) this will become clearer?

I read his blog once in a while. I dispute your suggestion that it's impossible to not reach the same conclusions you do.

I would like to note that I am quite outraged of the treatment of black people at all levels of the justice system and particularly disgusted by the presumption that any violent action towards any black individual by a police officer is justified.

Yeah, Steven Avery's had it pretty easy on account of being white.

I'm still outraged that they let those West Memphis 3 guys out.

Well, I'll add my usual remark at the bottom here that many people are absurd in their expectation that writing a 1000+ page novel with hundreds of characters that successfully integrates with the 5000+ pages already written in the saga and sets the stage for the 1000+ page conclusion to the saga should be an easy job…

Hold on, you don't think the fact that Steven Avery, a guy whose job involved selling used cars, called a car selling magazine and said "hey, could you send that girl out to take pictures of another vehicle I'm selling?" is ironclad proof that he committed a savage murder-rape in the absence of a single compelling…

Have you clicked through to this guy's Disqus profile? His other hobbyhorse is how hard it is to be a white man nowadays.

I don't think they did present Brendan's testimony at Avery's trial. They just promoted it in the media in all its grisly detail for months before the trial to taint the jury pool.
