The idea of Simpsons World is great, but the execution is terrible: default to Fox’s awful widescreen cropping, commercials, and a truly absurd interface.

The baseball stadium (I know it's not PacBell anymore, but what is it?) has hosted football in the past. Why not share it again, and have Candlestick 2.0?

Good. The world is better off with fewer parking spots.

I found American Gladiators on Amazon Prime this summer, but it’s sadly since been removed. There were only season 1 and 2, but each season had something like 20+ episodes!

Bill Hicks died 20 years ago and a lot of his stuff hasn't aged all that well. But by all means, use his materials as a shortcut for your own original thinking.

I believe the DAC converter also makes 32X possible on the Mega SG, which is a pretty big deal for some.

I’m in my 30s and share my Spotify family plan with my teenage brother who lives across the country.

Sometimes Spotify simply won’t load. The app will open, but nothing happens. Or I can get as far as selecting a playlist, but I get a blank screen afterward. I’d like them to fix that “feature.”

It’s pretty annoying that so much of people writing about retro gaming are writing through Nintendo-tinted glasses. It’s needless argumentative to say that beloved classics Streets of Rage 2 and Sonic 2 are “B tier” games. We’re all entitled to our opinions, but some opinions are actively and intentionally wrong.

What kind of asshole says Sonic 2 is a B game?

He identified as an SNES fan. If you played SNES in the early 90s, you probably weren’t playing Streets of Rage 2, so you don’t have that nostalgia filters that cover so many of these reviews.

I get that “I’M ACTING!!!” vibe from Paul Dano. He tried so hard to match the intensity of Daniel Day-Lewis (good luck) in There Will Be Blood that it took me out of the movie.

Is Rob Johnson the guy who made the most out of “looking like a quarterback?” in NFL history? He wasn't ever really any good, but he sure did give Ralph Wilson a boner.

Does it work on Roku? Xbox One? Or just Apple TV?

Exactly. Mike Mayock made this about Mike Mayock and now his team is going to win 5 games.

He did. Instead of catching balls from Derek Carr, he’ll do so from Tom Brady. Instead of listening to a red-faced joke, he’ll be coached by Bill Belichick.

Mayock decided his feelings were more important than winning. And here we are.

NFL careers are brutal and short. The Raiders played games with Antonio Brown and found ways to not pay him. Fuck them.

 I’m impressed that Hard Knocks made Derek Carr appear even more boring than I already thought he was.

He’s one of the best ever at his position and he hurt his feet. He’ll be fine.
