If quit that early, you missed where it amps the meta to 1000 and gets WEIRD.

This wins Kotaku for the day.

The people in the game journalism have played it, and that is who votes on this. Related, Dragon Age Inquisition is fucking incredible. It pretty much wins by default for being such a massive game that runs smoothly, has a great story, and is fun to play.

I am way too excited for this game. Why cant they just release it next week? I don't want to wait till November for more Lego Batman (and his many friends) hijinks.

In typical Texans fashion, it all comes crashing down however.

But what can Deadspin offer on the podcast front?

My main question is: what happens to Grantland if he leaves? Can he keep the site and its staff or would it be a complete new start?

This is such bullshit. #BringBackOurSimmons

I am getting a strong Reaper vibe from the Future Sentinels.

Wow, really?

The Tim Olyphant Nerdist podcast gives some cool insight into Milch's set behavior.
