And Randy Moss is up next year. There is no way they will put in both him and Owens on the same ballot.

After the limp-wristed statement by the ESA, it is nice to see a developer come out like this. Hopefully more of the AAA’s do this.

Silicon Valley is not your friend. The faster people realize this, the better.

ARMS is just on there so Mr Wizard does not have to stand in line to get a Switch.

The lineup is mostly what was expected.

The Switch is the Street Fighter V of game consoles. They are launching in March, before the full feature set of the system is in stone, in an effort to beat the end of their fiscal year.

The Pirates got their press PR machine, the Trib sports writers that usually always back management in contract decisions, in gear once the season ended to try to get the fanbase to turn on Cutch. Huntington will stand in front of cameras and harp about the importance of “the future,” but he never has a road map as to

Going by her fight with Holly Holm, maybe she should have spent more time in the Brawler’s Guild.

“These two members of the Trump Administration were hit with the Stone Cold Stunner” will be a Jeopardy question in twenty years.

Today is the first Black Friday that I did not work in 15 years, and the first Thanksgiving I did not work in six or seven.

The ability of the community of the game to keep things thriving is nothing short of amazing. Smash Brawl probably gave them a kick in the ass, but the scene has done nothing but grown as fighting games are becoming more than a niche eSport.
