Idk if I’m just misremembering things but the cops in GTA have always come off as buffoons, right? They shoot any potential suspect on sight and they can’t even stop crime (the Player) when they try. Also there’s tons of (lazy) cop jokes.

Quadrilateral Cowboy alone is well worth the starting price too

thank you for giving voice to this. as a white man who feels implicit guilt for the structures that exist and oppress today, i know the temptation to ask black friends for guidance on how i can better serve change. that’s often neither right nor fair, regardless of the intention. let POC, let your friends, be people.

Sounds like they brought the experience (if not the same physics) of the licensed F1 games to this, lol. I’ll never get how so many people who play online racing games aren’t interested in actually racing

Kane and Lynch 2! A game that calls gritty shooter games for what they are: awful pieces of shit about awful piece of shit people. It was pointedly senseless and unsatisfying, so of course it got dumped on for not being “fun” or “likable” enough. Looking back it was a really brave thing for IO to do. And it somehow…

Hellblade was fine. This will probably be interesting. Totally unfair to judge things this early, but something about franchising a game that took pains to responsibly portray mental illness seems...uneasy to me.  Guess we’ll have to see.

Whoosh

[cries in deadspin]

it’s all right wing and left wing these days, with everything. 

It’s a two-way street. Part of those teams’ incredibly sustained suckage is due to the fact that they have to deal with this juggernaut every year. Since 2001, they are 137-44 against every non-AFC East team, which is only marginally below their winning percentage against their own division. They definitely could have…

You can’t make me feel sympathetic for Jay Gruden

haven’t had a chance to jump into it yet: did they reduce the amount of gold you can get naturally by any chance? i’ve definitely put some time into the game (about level 50) but just by playing and doing dailies i was able to get enough gold to make paying for these not overly difficult. definitely sucks if you’re…

is there a breeze in here? somewhere around your head, perhaps?

hey i noticed the comments were closed on that “show us your fantasy football team” post. might want to tell your editors about that. anyway i know you said you were curious so here ya go.

I mean you can check the time she threatened to shove a ball down a line judge’s throat for an idea 

The thing is, the crisis has been here for years. It’s when people will actually acknowledge that en masse, through action, that’s forever up in the air.

To me, Fed is still the GOAT for now, but Novak is already the most complete tennis player to ever walk the planet. If you wanted to design a champion’s game from scratch, you would end up with something close to Novak Djokovic. He just has so few weaknesses at this point - a brick wall, as you put it. And it’s not…

I didn’t say she gets a pass? She gets more shit than those dudes ever did, in large part because she’s an outspoken black woman. And again, greatness and hyper-competitiveness often go hand in hand. You need that drive to succeed, and it’s hard to compartmentalize that outside of the field of play.

Yeah, it’s like 85% of the way to an apology. The whole “I didn’t know the media” thing is passing the buck. But I think that’s as good as we’re going to get. It’s not like she really owes anything to anybody.

This is pretty much the right take on it. Serena is a hero, an icon, and one of the greatest athletes to ever walk the planet. She can also be a stubborn asshole. The two often go hand in hand. This is just a continuation of that.
