Look, maybe he can’t shoot, but at least he plays lazy defense, doesn’t rebound, and has never averaged more than 2 assists per game.

the Dallas Cowboys: unexpectedly winning a big game in November, trying to convince us that they won’t flame out in a month, since 2001

Very dumbly, she kept saying she wanted to talk to Dorsey, who doesn’t work in the building she chained herself to.

I was hoping this was taking place at the actual Twitter HQ so I could go say hi.

Not a perfect analogy, since the Mona Lisa is a unique art object, whereas Nintendo games were mass produced, so there are multiple “originals” out there, and there’s no one canonical player experience as it was a home system so everyone’s encounter was different (my rich friend whose dad played on the Cleveland Cavs…

You’re absolutely right that the comparison to Giz/Kinja/Deadspin is not apt. Everyone knows that commenters (versus actual bloggers) are operating on a volunteer basis.

You COULD argue that sub-sites such as Oppo or the O-Deck are exploitable in the way that SB Nation does, but as far as I can tell they are not being…

your commenters and your audiences make your sites stronger.

I thought that SB Nation would be happy with wider online exposure.

Smash Bros is weird. Because it was clearly created for Nintendo to celebrate their franchises and fanbase and to be a generally fun game, the first one wasn’t even originally scheduled for release outside of Japan. That’s not to besmirch the competitive scene of Smash, they should have the fun they want, it just has…

It’s great that Christian Hackenberg gets to be a second round bust in two leagues. 

The rules link also helped me remember some Coach Guys:

It’s like the still took a picture of everyone’s soul, right down to Kellerman’s lingering self-doubt about his own life choices.

“Still thinking of Abraham Lincoln as the guy who lost the 1858 Senate contest to Stephen Douglas? Think again.”

It’s time to rethink LeBron James. I mean, he didn’t even get to play college ball.

But then you don’t have a cat, which is an entirely new problem.

“So what the heck am I supposed to do besides actually starting to make all content in the game trivial? I’m really frustrated and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.”

Some of it feels intentional, some of it doesn’t. That stagecoach example sounds like it’s intentional, but having a big shootout with the law because you killed and skinned a random sheep outside of town and some stranger was like “I GOTTA REPORT THIS” doesn’t. It also doesn’t help that violence is basically the only…

The game’s sense of justice is really screwy. I stop to help a stage coach driver and his passenger who are being robbed by rival gang members. I kill the gang members, save the day. Some random passerby witnesses the event and he turns me in for murder. What the hell? Why doesn’t the account of the other two…
