Can you make a sport where you win if you give your opponent a serious brain injury acceptably safe?

That sounds incredibly oversimplified and naive.

One of the biggest and worst failings of social media in general is the outright incapability, willful and otherwise, to regulate their own platforms effectively. Part of the reason Twitch even started featuring other kinds of streaming content that wasn’t exclusively about gaming was because there wasn’t enough money…

Let me ask what might be a... difficult question. What, exactly, is the purpose of disqualifying this costume? Or of writing this article about it?

I see you want to save time and ban everyone in one go. Clever.

This column is great in that it forces us to really dig deep and try to understand the mess that is the Pokemon universe.

I think that means players and commentators need to discuss politics on air. If we’ve reached the point where the room has ramped up to, “Mention this and you’re fucking gone!” skipping, “Eh, it’ll make things awkward” and “Come on, that’s frowned upon” entirely, then I think it’s time to say fuck them and talk about…

So all that talk for the last few days about how Riot wasn’t asking people to not promote Hong Kong, and how Blizzard wasn’t trying to make it more difficult for people to delete their accounts - we find that, once again, that’s not the case.

What about the plumbers and aluminum siders working on the Death Star!?!

“Now remember, when the enemy comes for us don’t fire back.. Those soldiers are just trying to feed their family, we don’t want to hurt any of them.”

This is probably one of those cases where the translation doesn’t completely convey the intent. What I imagine the bank actually meant was “hey, your name was on a bunch of things, but you’ve never actually run a company yourself. You’ve never been responsible for building a company from nothing. All the day to day…

Well I know I’ve found my line. It’s a shame because I was really excited for Blizcon and shit but the only way businesses are going to learn to not bow to China’s authoritarian whims is if the customer base punishes them greatly for it. Some mouthbreather is probably going to come in to the comments with the tiresome…

There are many criminals that get away with crimes because of lack of evidence. It’s extremely stupid to think there exists no victims in this world that can’t prove their case in court. And that someone who knows they are a victim should feel like it didn’t really happen if they can’t prove their case, rather than…

This thing is has been a fantastic shitshow. At this point on twitter there are damn near 100 lawyers that have clowned on how ridiculously bumptious and unwinnable this case has been. They’ve patiently explained the law in detail, which the Vic fans just refused to believe. Of course the whole thing has played out…

And it’s so great that it didn’t. Civil War was as “how real-world can we get” as I want to get. I don’t want to sit through a super hero movie wondering what the real-world and long term affects are of every comic book moment. 

Booker's eye take when he hears the beer tab pop open behind him is so good.

Mustachioed ref tears off his shirt with one pull.

There’s nothing in the rulebook that says you can’t! (See: US vs Air Bud: Golden Retriever)

Assuming Humphrey stopped when Odell used his safe word, this seems like a non-issue.

The Thing reminds people of: Crap Alien from MiB 2, Crap Demon from Dogma, and Chet from Weird Science. So I’d say its safe to say he was made of crap.
