Be careful thanking all of Georgia. You really want to thank the cities of Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, and Savannah, along with the minority populations of the rest of the state. There are still some deep red parts of Georgia that fought hard against that outcome.  Trust me, I grew up there and lived there for 30 years.

That’s the problem with both ultra-progressives and far-right extremists: nothing but a total and immediate flip of the country to match their views is acceptable. They are the ultimate in political contrasts: only accepting black and white answers to any question.

Honestly, this whole continuation of content for The Division 2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint screams of the developers knowing they don’t have the bandwidth to work on the next iteration of those franchises either because of other commitments, or the slowdown of work pace due to the pandemic, so they are going to just…

I kind of get lost trying to remember the stories of Unity and Syndicate. Very few of the “endings” of AC games have stuck with me over the years. Of course AC1 and AC2 have the most memorable ones because they set the standard.

But if we’re talking about best story and ending together, I think I might give that to…

I bought it at 50% around the winter holidays and honestly, it was really worth that $30. The campaign is absolutely fantastic and once Iron Man shows up, it just gets better. It’s true that Thor doesn’t show up as playable until near the end of the game, but when he does, it’s one of the best moments in the game.

Honestly, more guests on talk shows need to be willing to just get up and walk out when the hosts breaks an agreement like that.

The Ultimate universe definitely had an influence on the early days of the MCU, but the bulk of the MCU is not really based on it. The first Avengers movie, and the makeup of SHIELD definitely were inspired by The Ultimates, and there are nods to Ultimate Spider-Man in the MCU Spider-Man movies but that’s really about…

Pessimism and distrust of authority is a core tenet of Gen X. So of course their movement of culture to a better place is much more subtle and foundational than the flashy Greta Thunberg Gen Z’ers. Gen X did the work inside the culture. Just look at movies and music of the early 90's as an example. Gen X just…

You can’t guarantee that without knowing anything about them. He might have taken numerous trainings once he decided to get a gun to make sure that he would know how to use it, if he had to. He also could be a former member of the National Guard, or have been taught to shoot from a young age by his parents.

So you personally would have no problem if you created something and sold it successfully for years, and years later someone else reverse-engineers it and starts giving it away for free, when you are still making smaller amounts of money from people buying it?

Honestly, I beat the initial campaign of The Division 2 while enjoying the mechanics of the combat but that was about it. I had pretty much zero interest in coming back to the game until Warlords of New York was released. To me, it was better than the main game, brought back the much better NYC location with some…

The only arbitrary distinction being made here is the one you just made. You can’t pretend that there is no difference between a passive viewing experience and an active participatory experience. There absolutely is. And I’m not arguing that the game should have been cancelled, far from it as I think it’s an important…

Because movies are a passive experience.  You watch what happened and have no say in how it happens.  A game is an active, subjective experience. 

Braddock was the best character to play with, hands down. 

Their privacy with this kind of thing is just stupid. Who cares if it leaks? People were fucking hyped, then Nintendo ruined it by acting like a pissy pre-teen. 

Honestly, there is a lot of this going around. I was a part time martial arts instructor for years and stopped teaching during the pandemic because martial arts is about contact and that’s not a smart thing to do during a pandemic.

Through their work together, Charli and Sophie produced some of pop music’s finest works in the 21st century, or maybe ever.

Honestly, Game Pass ate their lunch. It was a better service from launch, with a massive subscription based library, and a huge amount of built in users because of the Xbox ecosystem’s near 20 year lifespan. Stadia is great tech and has better features than Game Pass, and someone will benefit from it for sure. Sony…

7Up and Milk is doodh soda, a popular drink in India and Pakistan. But you can’t drink it with ice. It balances the creaminess of the milk and the sweetness of the soda.

Oh, they got years of good and interesting games they can slowly release onto the platform since they bought Zenimax.  Every Bethesda, id, and Arkane game will show up in Game Pass in a slow drip for the next 2 years.  Not to mention the continued addition of EA Play games, and the rumored deal they’re working to sign…
