The only Boston sports radio host that doesn't make me want to stab out my own eardrums is Michael Holley.

You can tell it went in by the way the net flies up through the rim. I'm pretty sure it bounced of the rim support and flew out just below the front of the rim. But yeah, It's pretty hard to tell if it went in or not in the gif.

The best part of that wiki entry:

"O.J. Simpson was also considered, but was passed over by James Cameron because he couldn't imagine 'such a nice guy playing the part of a ruthless killer.'"

Remember when it was Smash Mouth's "All Star"?

I agree with you in principle. I'm just pointing out that developers are very much trying to stay in business, inferior products or not.

The question is not whether they're pointless, it's that they make zero economic sense.
It takes development time to create a demo version of a game; development time that could be used toward another game/patches/dlc.

Additionally, market research has shown that producing demos has a negative affect on sales, because…

For the developers, it's unquestionably better that people pay full price for an improperly/poorly coded/unfinished game. They need cash flow to pay for the development of their next title.

Them losing those sales could very well be the difference between having enough money to complete their next title, and going…

There is no Charleston, RI, you may be thinking of Charlestown, RI.

you might want to look up the definition of "tongue-in-cheek" while you're at it.

Also true story:

"Idiot" used to refer to mentally handicapped people, does that mean it's derogatory to the mentally handicapped the way it's used today?

Good point.

The thing that really gets me is that Carmack wanted to do all this cool stuff with VR, and Zenimax basically said, "nah, we just want you to get to work on more Doom/Quake games," and then when Carmack leaves for a company that shares his vision, they tolerate it for a while, and then when Facebook enters the picture…

I understand why Zenimax is suddenly much more inclined to sue now; There's no point in trying to sue a company that doesn't have money. But let's call it what it is: Zenimax sees a clear opportunity to make money now that Facebook owns Occulus. If I were Zenimax I would do the same thing. But calling Zenimax "David"…

This isn't David standing up to Goliath, this is Goliath going after an even Bigger Goliath because David is now associated with all the money that Bigger Goliath has.

Zenimax didn't care at about the "infringement" before Facebook bought Occulus, but all of the sudden Occulus gets paid and Zenimax realizes they were…

To me, and probably to most NBA fans, the first thing they think of when they think of the NBA team named Jazz is Stockton and Malone. Does it make no sense that a team named the Jazz exists in Utah? yes. But the franchise has earned the right to keep the name just like the Lakers have earned the right to keep their…

I heard from a friend at UConn that Emeka Okafor was enrolled in the same class as him and he literally only showed up for the final and got an A. He supposedly also graduated in 3 years with a GPA of 3.8 or something.

I also heard from another friend that they had a lecture with a certain UConn placekicker who would…

Ha, I was the opposite. But seriously, how is that thing a measure of fitness?

I've never worked in the print media but everything I've heard indicates that writers almost never write the headlines, and I thought that was fairly common knowledge, no?
