I’ve always thought that lockpicking became trivial way too early in the game for Skyrim and Fallout 3/NV/4. Within an hour you had enough lockpicks/bobby pins to not even think twice about breaking 20 of them attempting to open a random door that almost certainly leads to very minor loot. I thought the solution would…

On one hand it makes sense that bandits only attack when you’re traveling on the roads. On the other hand, you’d think after a while word would get out amongst the ne'er-do-wells that maybe Arthur Morgan should be left alone.

Makes me feel better about myself when I throw my back out sneezing and can't walk for a week.

In the Fallout universe the transistor was never invented or never developed to the point of commercial viability, so it’s not fair to assume that their 2077 technology is as advanced as ours is or will be and just has a retro aesthetic to it. Regardless, a substitution cypher is well within the capabilities of the…

I used to do this all the time when I was playing video games in my comfy recliner. It happened so regularly that if I was having trouble falling asleep I'd go fire up the Xbox and plop down in the recliner. My brain got so used to that routine that I had to rearrange my TV/game room because I'd get drowsy in the…

Blows my mind that this jabroni is still getting snaps and a perfectly competent QB with a cannon for an arm still doesn’t have a job.

I'm picturing a news anchor with his hands in his pocket à la Jay Leno monologue saying "So a family of four died in a house fire. What's up with that?" Thank you for that image.

Because...they're the Jaguars? That's all I got.

I believe the term for that is a crumpet.

Maybe I should stop being stubborn and ditch my Google Play Music/YouTube Red subscription for just YouTube and get Spotify. I’m the only person I know that uses Google Play Music and friends and family members send me albums and playlists to check out pretty regularly. But dammit I like having my Google cloud music…

With takes like those maybe you should get another couple weeks in the greys. Most civil suits are money grabs, and even if you personally know the parties involved it's not fair to assume that they won't use the money to pursue medical care or therapy for the kid. 

Exactly. To all the developers “black hero” is only associated with the context of the game. I bet if you asked any of them ‘what’s wrong with this picture?’ without pointing it out that they’d all miss it. A very unfortunate goof, but definitely an innocent one.

I had to take an online defensive driving course twice after getting two speeding tickets within 12 months of each other two times. And then I had to take it a third time because my dad got two tickets and decided that since I knew the material and had lived rent free for 18 years that it was the least I could do for…

Or the Colts figured they should put Jacoby Brissett in there for a low percentage play that requires chucking the ball 70 yards. Not because they don't trust Luck's shoulder, but because Brissett has a cannon and there is absolutely zero finesse required for the play.

I tried clicking on the notification for your comment last night and kept getting HTTP 414 errors. Worked this morning. Mobile Kinja has always been less than functional but it seems to have gotten worse recently.

Any one else having trouble with the embedded tweets or screengrabs? I’m assuming that’s what is supposed to be there, but it’s just blank screen. Mobile Deadspin has been more wonky than usual for me recently.

“Sean, you know what tomorrow is, right?”

I ordered a pair of Nikes around the time people were starting to burn theirs. It was completely unrelated to the ad and the controversy, I just got a hell of a deal during the Labor Day sale.

The town of Dowagiac, MI has an actual city ordinance mandating that the name be pronounced “Doe-WAH-jack”. Not sure what the penalty for violating it but it can’t be worse than getting booed by a stadium full of mountain folk.

Ah yes thunder and lightening, what happens when I’m in the bathroom after a day of hot dogs, nachos, and cheap beer. Definitely serious enough to delay anything that might be happening.
