If he doesn’t that means a Boy Scout with 4 career NFL passes outplayed him in camp and Cam really doesn’t have anything left in the tank, which would be a damn shame given how great he was so recently. So I both think and hope he will start, both for my fandom and what it means if he can’t win the job.

I would call myself a begrudging Patriots fan, as in I was born into it, surrounded by it, and am not so invested I can’t see the many warts and asterisks that come with their near 20 year run of dominance.

Just wanted to come and applaud Kotaku for managing to stick to video games and still honor the legendary Half Man Half Amazing. Jim would be proud.

SO weird Graham seems to have forgotten the political mob that swallowed his party whole a few years ago. 

I’m no reddit fan but I did come across a wonderful thread of things men won’t do because it makes them look like a pussy. Examples included wearing masks, and wearing glasses. We’ve covered masks, but wearing glasses is gay because if you can see, you can see naked men, and what’s gayer than that?

Bon Appetit is food colonization made manifest. I can’t count the number of times I saw them throw a white person out to tell everyone the “right” way to make Asian food, or “discovering” certain foods and techniques like the New York Times discovered bubble tea. 

Cops as a show is literally a police image rehabilitation service. Departments with excessive force complaints or stains on their record invited Cops to film with them as a way of buying public goodwill (also says a lot about communities for whom watching Cops gives them a better view of their police). It valorizes…

My view has been that some violent rioters in our past with an affinity for powdered wigs got a little too horny for violence when writing up their special new club mission statement and baked the right to bear arms directly into the fucking founding of this nation.

I’m pretty sure it’s the person shooting the video who says, “Good job guys, BLM!”, in a clearly sarcastic tone after she says, “wow boyfriends of Instagram”.

A preposterously well-produced look at why this company is fucked:

I know they weren’t original to the GBA but the Advance SP was my first ever game machine and I played the SHIT out of all three Donkey Kong Country ports. They were so good I didn’t learn they weren’t GBA originals until I was well into my teens. 2 is a death march but I proudly still own my 103% complete cartridge…

This woman is the physical manifestation of of Lil Yachty cheerfully saying, “man, fuck dem kids”. 

Tony Hawk Underground on the GBA was my shit, I still remember songs from that soundtrack even though I haven’t seen the little cartridge in well over a decade. Excellent take, Luke. 

I had some physical therapy as a result of sciatica caused by several unrelated sports injuries, and one of the best things they gave me was a small set of exercises to do roughly every hour while sitting at work (or on a gaming couch!).

This article about a ubiquitous food item, prepared in a ubiquitous way, somehow manages to work Bon Appetit, colonizer of all foods and originator of nothing but a simple video format, into the article five times.

Hate to be that guy, but “quaaludes”. This one sticks in my head because words with double a are rare and cool, like aardvark.

Very cool but MGSV appealed to me as a break from what I know of the Metal Gear series, one far more focused on gameplay and freedom (something like Breath of the Wild with military equipment was the pitch). I think I’ve forever messed up my ability to enjoy the story given the explainers and joke videos I’ve watched…

Funny, I did exactly this same thing. The All Digital was on sale for $150 over Black Friday, so I made my first Black Friday purchase ever to own my first Xbox since I lost an old 360 to a fire years ago. I am also rarely compelled by Microsoft exclusives as a Nintendo lifer, but I’d been dying to play MGSV and…

Metal Gear Solid 5 baby.

Uh, did you just say seeing a Mario platformer narrative through is the point? Spoilers: Bowser captures Princess Peach, Mario collects maguffins until he can rescue her. Odyssey was magnificent and contained Nintendo creativity, joy, and depth of Mario’s movement control in spades. Just because your kid liked…
