The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping.

Rumor has it that Maidment wrote this weekend’s posts himself, and, uh.... it shows.

Hey, it’s hard work keeping Zombie Deadspin alive.

Jim Spanfeller is a herb.

Mr. Daniels, you seem like a nice guy ans this blog is also likely good. This is directed only at management:

Necrophiliac Paul Maidment has had this cross-posted to his corpse de jour. Paul Maidment has spent all weekend filling it with his evil essence, pulling from all over the G/o network, relabelling AP vids, reposting old freelance work and changing the date stamps.

It’s never going to not make me livid, but watching people like you equating a piece of media that leans even juuuuust slightly off the straight, heteronormative path as being created for the purpose of pushing an agenda.

Then go the fuck somewhere else. 

Excellent reply and what you mention about the Athletic rings 100% true. Intelligent media for the last 20 years is in decline, just as it is with print media.

Excellent review. Told me all I need to know and wanted to know about the game without spoiling a single thing.

The love-it-or-hate it reviews I'm seeing are to be expected, I suppose, tho I trust Heather's judgment more than most. I suppose I'm wondering how many people there really are on these servers pre release, vs "players" that are really just help planted by the developers. 

Heather, this is my favourite review of yours in a while out of consistently great articles; it’s wonderful and insightful. Tim, I’m only twenty-odd minutes into the hour, but it’s typically playfully elegant and soothing to listen to.

God, this review is amazing. Thanks Heather (and also Tim for the video). Curious though, did you ever encounter Tim’s creations on your server or vice versa?

wild that the first good video game ever made also generated the best game review i’ve ever read

I support the idea of charging in FE races. Would add a dynamic to the strategy giving drivers more power available after a pit stop. Depending on the charging system it could provide a competitive advantage too.

I also support the idea of emailing G-O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller at jim@g-omedia.com to let him know what…

Thank you for this, I have spent all morning looking for a website to tell me who won last night’s game.

God damn it. Stick to sports and stop talking about the MLS!

Wow!  This is a great post about sports, sports only, and nothing else besides sports!

It’s like umami for the commentariat soul.

Farmers has pulled Spanfeller’s big ad buy. This is the type of incompetence that deserves an ESPN 30 For 30.
