it was a total revelation to me as a kid. who could have figured the group behind that would go on to do black ops! if this can recreate the spirit of that game, i’m all in. the fact that i’ve moved to NYC in the 14 years since I played SM2 makes me all the more interested. and yes, multiplayer would be incredible,…

To me at least, that’s the point — to create a direct link to the fetishization of violence in media, games in particular, then show it for how disgusting it really is. Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but it could just as easily be a guy/girl kiss; Ellie was just established as gay in the last game. I think the crux…

Rockstar is the one developer that can change the entire industry’s holiday release cycle by itself. Its last game was the most profitable piece of entertainment in human history, after all.

“KARL MARX... IS READY TO EVEN THE SCORE!”

seems like a new-age version of spider-man 2 for the gamecube. free-flowing and constant motion. i am very hype. here’s hoping the story has any sort of substance.

Taking aspects of popular games to inform future titles... Who could imagine such a thing

I think you’re right, gotta be an early next gen thing, similar to what Oblivion was for the Xbox 360. Also they definitely said this to keep Jason from scooping it

not sure I understand any complaints about this. it’s clearly in demand and it’s not taking the traditional MP away. we can be reasonably certain that it’ll have enough budget and resources poured into it to actually run well. go choice!

after the horde of morons look past this, too, he should say “you aren’t reading” and give all these points in morse code. nothing scares white america more than POC speaking intelligently and candidly.

Fully aware this is gonna make it sound like I’m a FB defender, but this and the earlier NYT report really seems like a non-story. Or at least nothing close to the Cambridge Analytica mess. FB was a really fucking popular app, so every phone wanted to build a FB experience into their phone. Making those requires FB…

yeah, the stephen colbert/fox news line pretty much sums it up. PFT and his podcast are fine in a vacuum, imo, but nothing really exists in a vacuum. good luck with your mentions!

so you liked nevermind a lot more than in utero, i’m guessing

Not really. There are some who’ve asked if it’s worth flipping him for Kawhi, which makes it a much tougher question, but I think I’ll take Kyrie with Rozier spelling him than Rozier starting and pushing Jaylen Brown to the bench. I think it’s Marcus Smart who’ll be the odd man out here. But for now, worth waiting to…

brad stevens is like having two extra all-stars on your team. completely erased simmons tonight

Okay, one guy is Willie Stargell, the other is Victor Martinez. When I’m not being insufferable, I actually believe Ortiz should be borderline. Of course the titles and media attention will bloat his candidacy, and his status will ultimately be the litmus test for how much that matters. My non-trolling point is that…

Well you called me so here I am. 210 more HRs, 1,000 more hits, markedly better OPS, SLG, and AVG, better OBP. I agree that a better peak deserves a couple more years — and Bautista was better at his peak than Ortiz — but one guy is Jim Thome, the other is Troy Glaus. Now if you’ll excuse me my butt is hurting and I…

Even if Brock’s schtick is past it, I’m still happy Roman lost. Roman Reigns, World’s Premier Example of Failing Upwards is just too funny. And I truly have no idea who or what comes next, so mission accomplished there. Really can’t believe—I mean I can, but still—how smarks got so pissy after that.

And he doesn’t seem like an asshole in real life. This is truly the best.

Ladies and gentlemen, YOUR Oakland Athletics!

this is a good move for both sides. NE still has the WR corps that won them a SB in 2016, they now have draft capital to get the QB/edge rusher they must have their eyes on, and Cooks, while awesome, wasn’t irreplaceable. (Gronk, however, cannot be replaced.) and it’s fun to see the Rams go all-in with Jared Goff and…
