“Microsoft, meanwhile, had a new Forza car racing game and...actually that’s it. The majority of its “exclusives,” the games you buy a console for because it is the only place to experience the game, are either “Microsoft” exclusive, which means they can be played on a PC as well, or they’re “timed” exclusives, like…

LOL, c’mon, it was “blatantly obvious meddling” when the refs ejected a dude who’d whipped his mouthpiece into the front row and hit a fan with it? The Warriors were down a dozen with four minutes to play when that happened, and no player in the NBA would not have been ejected in those circumstances. You’ll have to…

Eh Mr Gaiman just bought into the local folklore. Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham really didn’t have any more deaths than any other steel mill during the late 1800s, but after it was shut down as a steel mill it has taken on a second life as a concert venue most of the year, and as a haunted house during Halloween. That…

The town in question is Birmingham, Alabama, and it’s not just any old statue of Vulcan, it’s a 56-foot tall statue looming above the city. (There’s also a temple of Vesta. There was a time when classical Greek and Roman influences were stronger in Alabama than Christian ones — hence all the towns with names like…

“OK sure, what’s the worst that could happen?”

Not a bullshit stat because Lebron scored more points on 120 fewer shots.

They were pretty explicit about Supergirl not being part of the Arrowverse too. They made it clear that Constantine was a separate continuity. Reaching right back, they told us that there would never ever be superpowers on Arrow. In all those cases, that definite fact lasted for exactly a year.

Wait, why is this something to hate on this guy about? I mean, I know hes the Nickleback of sports professionals, but honestly, this man worked his dick off to get a spot.

Man, the Danny Rand hate is getting old. Was it perfect? No. But Danny wasn’t really the problem. Iron Fist felt super rushed all over and except the Meachums and Gao, everyone was bad. Even Claire was bad. And Colleen Wing was hands down the worst character in the show.

Jeeeesus. We get it. You don’t like that Danny is white.

Wait, is somebody actually trying to solve a problem before it gets out of hand and the government has to get involved? Are they allowed to do that?

It’s already a thing on Marvel Unlimited, though. From what I understand you get access to all Marvel comics except for what’s come out in the last six months.

How dare I? The entire world can’t be expected to protect you from spoilers for everything you haven’t gotten around to for your entire life. There’s a reasonable period after its released where it’s common courtesy and if I know I’m talking to a person who’ll want to avoid spoilers I’ll do that, but public discourse…

Like the ever-lovin’ Thing said, Marvel improved its product. It no longer crashes. Plus, when you set issues to “offline” they’re actually there when you’re ready to read them, and can be read. Previously, they’d reload (or rather, wouldn’t) any time there was no wifi, which defeated the purpose of setting them to…

The technology is better (much better, even), but ComiXology Unlimited is a bad service. MU is great because you can binge-read entire series. CU is designed to give you the first volumes of stuff for free, but then you have to buy the rest. I found it extremely frustrating and canceled before my free trial was up.

Let’s get one thing straight: destroying unsuspecting people’s gadgets is rude. However, it’s even ruder for companies to profit from selling people vulnerable technology that could be coopted and used in a global cyberattack.

You’re so right. I mean, it’s so much worse to wear a towel over your head, then, oh I don’t know RUNNING A FUCKING BOUNTY PROGRAM TO DECAPITATE THE OTHER TEAMS PLAYERS?

So SAS can’t believe someone has the high profile and well paying job he does, despite the fact he clearly sucks at it and seems to be almost universally despised.

they’re not ditching it, actually! what it sounds like they’ve done is tweak the system so that it can better differentiate between a “natural” streak (that is, when luck is on your side or laughably against you) and streaks born of unfair practices like smurfing. here’s a full quote from Scott Mercer that I…
