See, I think that’s a much more accurate way to look at things. It’s really tiring to keep reading “Oh, you just can’t sell foreign things in Japan!” from certain quarters.

Yes, they just announced it, almost a year after the console launched in Japan. A little late, wouldn’t you say? And not all games will be supported....

Well, what’s the reason a Japanese consumer would choose an Xbox One over the other consoles?

Yes, exactly. The 360 actually sold fairly decently because there were a lot of exclusives that Japanese gamers wanted. What does the Xbox One have?

VitaTV is pretty cool.

Nonsense. Name some games for the Xbox One that are the types of games Japanese consumers purchase.

Go to Ginza, look at the popular brands in the most popular stores. Almost universally foreign.

There’s (or there was) a Mexican-Chinese buffet in south Texas called Wok-A-Mole.

Yet another prime example of why game score is a flawed metric. Tell me how any rational observer would say this no hitter - almost a perfect game - was a worse game than the 1-hitter a few days ago. Hell, even if he had a perfecto it would have had the lower game score. Ludicrous.

I’ve got an MS in mathematics, friend. Which is why I hate the abuse of statistics - lovely when used CORRECTLY. Seems a lot of baseball fans don’t have a good handle on the limitations of metrics; it’s quite annoying.

I hope you value your child’s well-being more than hiring some random teenager and underpaying them.

Because of their age? If they are providing a service worth $15, they sure as heck should be getting paid that.

Sorry, but you are massively abusing statistical significance here. It’s ALWAYS incredibly unlikely for any pitcher to throw a perfect game - 23 in well over a hundred years of baseball history - “likeliness” of a particular pitcher throw a perfect game is utterly meaningless for an event so rare. Buehrle being…

Up next on BCO - Kinja commenters who are real-life entitled assholes!

Clean up after yourself. Always. Always.

Can’t be having none of that race-mixin’ now, can we, Strom?

The US follows by the understanding that correlation does not imply causation.

Excellent point. I think it’s probably a bit better to go on the side of caution when it comes to food ingredients, though, wouldn’t you say?

But you are boostrapping this argument with a different metric with its own set of assumptions, BABIP. BABIP is pretty meaningless over the course of just 27 outs (as James himself would point out, very small sample size).

a) I was speaking in general and b) this an armored econoline, not just a typical pile of shit econoline.
