From a game design standpoint, balancing between “carrying a bunch of useful stuff, but the more you carry, the more that hampers you” is pretty interesting. It certainly makes decisions more interesting than “I’ll just 15 different swords and 82 different shields around” because I can and am not penalized for it.

Is this one of those things that no one was expecting because they didn’t show their hand in pre-season, but now that everyone knows they’ll be doing noisy pre-snap motions stuff, the surprise is out of the bag?

This isn’t really surprisiing. I think it was Target that kept (keeps) track of purchases via credit card or something. One of the things they do with the data is track tampon purchases, and when a person stops buying tampons, they take an educated guess when to start pushing baby supply ads to you via email and…

Don’t forget kabaddi!

I would be even more amusing if Javy Báez winds up accidentally shredding his hamstring or something on that knee-down. 

From what I’ve read, victory gardens were the end result of the Japanese internment.

That’s what happened to Dave Foley (well, without the 13 kids with 12 different mothers thing). His divorce settlement was set during his heydays on “NewsRadio” but as his career has faded, his settlement agreement still requires him to pay that same amount even though he makes no where near that amount he did back in…

500 Days of Summer

Oh there’s a lot. For example:

I also wonder how much people staring at their phones instead of the game has increased in the danger.

While it’s terrible these kind of things happen....it’s not like it isn’t a known event. I just think that if you go sit in the stand of a baseball game you should be EXPECTING to get hit by a ball or a broken bat to some extent, especially if your sitting in the foul ball death alleys.

On the other hand, if a reporter came up to you and asked to comment, on the record, regarding an ongoing lawsuit against Deadspin, would you reply with your honest opinion? EVERY PLACE I’ve worked at one the first things HR tells you to do is not reply to questions lilke that.

Ah, good. I love articles where everyone defends school kids’ rights to dress like members of Bob Fosse’s Cabaret.

I don’t know. FRANCHISE XX: (subtitle ) has always bothered me as way some marketing guy fluff who gets paid six figures to make the case that no one would see the next Star Wars movie if the words “Star Wars” weren’t in the title.

Yes, there is a danger. Back when I was an Apple person, an iPhoto update deleted EVERY SINGLE DIGITAL PHOTO I took that was NOT taken with an iPhone ( I was on the digital camera bandwagon early, and I’m guessing that meta tags weren’t as standardized as they are now). And when I tried to get the iPhoto file back…

I had to download iTunes on a computer the other because, get this....

At the time, I knew some people who refused to play Shadow of the Colosssus based on the fact that a reviewer said it was only 8 hours long.

The last few years the NFL has been stacking same-conference games in the last few games of the season. It’s actually not that bad of an idea, given that it helps to ensure that at least a few game “matter” in a head-to-head situation.

no film has cracked $1billion without female leads

Since figure skating now has only turned into completing spinny jumps, why even bother with long and short programs? Why not just do “how many spinny jumps you can do in a row” and simply get rid of all the dancing and skating backwards stuff that no one claps for, and everyone gets an A+++ anyway?
