I always find it a bummer that most kids movies these days are just 90 minutes of winking and nodding to the grownups in the audience. It would be nice if kids could just have culture that’s just for them.

It would only take one twisted ankle, a back-to-back on the road, and suddenly you’ve lost two in a row and three of four, and you’re looking at 68 wins. It’s so, so hard to stay as healthy as they’ve stayed in that time period.

All of this is predicated on his being white and speaking English natively. Remove that from the equation, and the marketability that you’re praising is dramatically reduced. Which is fucked up. And that’s precisely why I prefer to focus on the outcome of fights rather than who “really wins.”

Is it? I want to try it but the reviews have been so mixed.

Grow Home > Gone Home

The rules have been rewritten to make it so much easier for tight ends to operate that it’s really hard for me to call any current tight end the best. If Tony Gonzalez played his whole career with the kind of rules they have now, he might have 150 TDs. If Ozzie Newsome played like Gronk, e would have been destroyed by

That’s... not what beating a dead horse means.

Man, the overhead shots of the city make the game look fugly.

I really think there’s a fundamental problem in console gaming right now: gamers expect the latest consoles to have the kind of graphics they’ve seen on high-end PCs, but manufacturers feel that they can’t move enough units to stock consoles with the kind of GPUs that such graphics require. It’s just a fact of life

Not the fake ID thing, that’s mostly just funny, but the rest of it.

Let me just plug the ridiculous durability of the Sony cans. Those things are built to last, which is refreshing in an era where headphones and earbuds seem to die every six months. Love ‘em.

Great hair on Gallo, though.

I’ve been called a “social justice warrior” many times, a label I’ve never shied away from. I’m not going to apologize for going to bat for marginalized groups

538 said that according to their QB evaluation system, he’d have to play a full season of games as bad as that last one to slip from the #1 QB ranking of all time. Crazy.

Unfortunately, this is one area where Gawker Media’s reputation — whether that reputation is fair or unfair is irrelevant — does not help you. Perpetual controversies enable these companies to treat silencing your journalism as a rejection of a “bad boy” company, rather than a matter of self-serving petulance.

After DA:I came out I wrote this about how crafting systems are kind of making me hate RPGs.

If websites REALLY relied on ad revenue

This attitude — that hundreds of thousands of people can Adblock at all times with no meaningful threat to the continuing existence of quality content — is one of the most destructive ideas on the web today.
