He gets caught doing normal fouls.

Russia played one of the most tactically sound and disciplined defenses you’ll ever see in a match like this. I also wouldn’t blame the ref; fouls weren’t the reason Spain couldn’t score.

I agree, I love to watch Uruguay play. That said, when did this piece say that Uruguay are boring? Billy called it ugly in the beginning, and its true, but ugly is not synonymous with boring.

Man, this sucks. I don’t really care about losing Compete, since you said eSports coverage will continue on Kotaku, but I really enjoyed the writing from both you and Eric. No more Ta-Nehisi Coates interviews nor weird but funny tips for what to do at a bar.

Completely agree. New Vegas is one of the few modern AAA RPGs where the fabric of diegetic institutional reality is well explained or well constructed. So often games will just ignore the fact that political bodies and factions are not “natural”. They are man made and have man made reasons to exist, and necessities…

What? I loved The Witcher 3 even more than BotW but saying it had more depth is wrong. Beyond the POIs there was nothing to see in the open world that wasn’t in BotW and Zelda had dynamic systems in a way that emergent gameplay was happening all the time. The Witcher 3 could have been a linear game and the results…

And the slavers were well explained and had a good backstory, as dumb as the faction was in general. Caesar was a madman and a painfully obviously evil person, but there was still vision and projection in what he did, not power for power itself. There is also something said about expansionistic nation states with the…

We are taking FIFA rankings seriously now?

I’m actually hype for Odyssey despite not playing Origins and not really liking the 2 ACs I did play (Black Flag and III). Am I alone in this?

Fallout New Vegas, modded to bring it up to date. Already 25 hours in and can say that its a shame that Bethesda didn’t give Obsidian another try at Fallout. Its a wonderful game and the side stories are meaningful and well written; much better than Fallout 3 or 4

Halo 2 for PC is a nightmare. Tried to play it a few years ago, couldn’t get a disc that wasn’t ridiculously overpriced nor buy it digital, so I pirated it, but then it always started to run like garbage (like, under 10 fps) after 20 or so minutes of playing, more probably due to the fact that it was Windows 10 than…

There’s still much to improve in female representation in media in general, and videogames and particular, but damn, good progress has actually been made. 10 years ago this piece wasn’t just impossible, it seemed impossible for the future.

Wow.

I’ve never heard of the guy, but the “fan of country music because it’s genre of poets/storytellers” description in his twitter tells me everything I need to know.

He said “inferior” buddy, not bad; as in “relatively inferior to their opponents”, not that all were “bad teams”.

I don’t need this kind of trolling.

Mexico is not bad, but are by no means as good as Portugal (Ronaldo alone is enough), and just barely as good as England.

Chilean here; most people in South America never think about those countries. We are quite different here (contrary to what US TV and the homogeneously sounding “latino” tag show) but those three seem just from another continent to me: non-iberian languages, different religions and culture in general, not to mention…

Unsurprisingly, Dekker regularly retweets Barstool shit.

And jocks are also bad fucking news. Its toxic masculinity that’s at the root of it.
