I loved this breakdown! One thing I believe is new that you guys didn’t point out is variable start heights! In SMM1, the start of a level would always be at the very bottom-left of a stage. In this, the very first scene shows Mario running right and then jumping down a staircase/slope.

This really puts into perspective what an egotistically-driven farce their HQ2 sweepstakes were. They were always planning on setting up shop in NYC, and had absolutely no intention of even considering any other locations.

Boy, the /r/LiveStreamFail comments are something else.

The LGBTQ [sic] is a modern day version of the Ku Klux Klan.

Can’t wait for Jeff Bezos to change his address to Virginia so he can get away with paying a few more hundred people slave wages.

Albert, to address your frustration with transition 3-point attempts, how do you feel about this idea I (and surely other people) have had for a few years now: A hard limit on how many 3 point attempts a team can put up in a game. After that limit is reached, everything is a 2 pointer.

Wasn’t it pretty well understood that SHS was gonna resign after the midterms? I guess she realized she could just stop doing the job and still get paid, instead.

Here’s a lifehack: see if you have a local community center you can go to instead. They are usually cheaper, less crowded, and you can pay month-to-month. It probably won’t have some of the fancier stuff that a for-profit gym has, but who needs that crap?

Rockstar will make this go away by guaranteeing that they will hire Pinkertons to massacre their workers when the unionization drive starts.

As someone who also graduated in 2012, thank you for that.

Brown shoes + grey suit can work, but it needs to be light brown + light grey. Dark brown + dark grey looks awful, as we can see here. And the shoes he is wearing in particular couldn’t look good with any outfit.

No.

As much as I despise Ben, I think he’s clearly above Eli. But yeah, there’s no fucking way he’s top five of his era.

I thoroughly enjoyed the video, Tim, thanks for making it. It’d be awesome to know the name of the band the kid is in, if you don’t mind sharing it!

I went to game 4 of the NBA finals in 2015, when the Cavs were up 2-1 in the series. Ric Flair showed up during halftime and gave a pump-up speech that was like 80% “woo!”s to the crowd. It hyped us the fuck up. Mosgov led the Cavs with 28 points as they lost to the Warriors 103-82.

I’m sure that immediately after coming back from his 2 month suspension-without-pay he will receive a *plugs 2 ÷ 12 into calculator* 16.67% raise for all that “ownership and redemption” he so bravely displayed.

These were delightful, thanks for sharing.

Samer, you’re a journalist. Can you please investigate where the hell his front teeth went in this photo? I thought y’all might’ve removed them as a joke, but they are seemingly missing from the original photo as well. The deep black void where his teeth should be gets only more terrifying as he gets redder and redder.

Yeah, I guess it’s supposed to be a reference to how scary drowning in Sonic is, but it’s a pretty weak one. It would have been better to have the drowning music play whenever Sonic does his drowning animation, but I’m sure that would have been harder to implement than just pinging him with some damage over time.

Sounds like a great way to have the Social Security retirement age pushed into the stratosphere the moment some old shithead wants to run for president and has the backing of a majority vote in congress.
