My link cable is bigger than yours! Lol jk

Love your work, Heather. Particularly enjoy how you talk about multiplayer and first person shooters. 

(*as YouTube stooge*) Rats, they’re onto us.. (*Raises clinched fist in angry protest*) You've won this round, but we'll be back!! We'll played sir.

*College essay plagirizer* Shit, they’re onto us.. (*dumps evidence in laundry hamper engulfed in flames*) 

Welcome back, Mike! God bless you and your family. Glad to hear everything is improving. 

GTA Online, Minecraft, Destiny 1, Battlefield 4, etc. 

You're the real MVP, UFO videos on YouTube!

This is an interesting set of circumstances. Don’t know that I agree nor disagree necessarily with Chance the Rapper’s perspective, specific to Fortnite. It’s a complicated situation. In broader context, it’s ultimately about the (as briefly summarized in the article) long storied history of African American culture…

T.O is on the Ultimate Edition version. 

Troy Polamalu shared the cover with Larry Fitzgerald (ironically, University of Pitt legend/grad) for Madden 10.

They did a damn Pokémon intro recreation, so no lol

Might help a little, but not much. Air pressure does more damage to old shoes (and virtually everything, over time) than anything. Lowering the temperature doesn’t minimize the air pressure decaying the materials. That whole industry/concept is incredibly fascinating (I’m a sneakerhead myself).  Different fabrics and…

Microsoft has made a lot of bad decisions like any company, but the irony, on the big gambles, whether it paid off for them or not (usually not), they were usually absolutely correct. Xbox Live, Zune (lost to Ipod), and many others.

You told the story backwards. EA didn't buy out the license. The NFL began to lock up exclusive deals for every league related product (beer, headphones, soda, etc). It was their decision to have an exclusive license holder in the games industry. And, they offered it to 2K first (as I understand it). Back then, they…

I had only ever played SSX Tricky back in the day. Until SSX3 from the original Xbox was made backwards compatible on the X1 a couple of months ago. Now playing it in 4K on the 1X. It holds up beautifully. 

Definitely. I remind people of that stuff all the time. Don Mattrick catches a lot of hell (deservedly so, for gutting Microsoft first party studios, which they’ve paid fatally for this generation), but he (as well as Peter Moore before him) made some really good decisions that led to the domination of the 360. COD…

Agreed on nearly all points. Microsoft most show new games that fully take advantage of the hardware at E3 in two weeks. Specifically, because it’s $100 more and their primary competitor has released two watershed exclusives in the last 12-18 months (along with many others).

No doubt. But, to your point about performance and PS being the home for the best multiplats at the beginning, it’s been hilarious seeing how that’s completely flip flopped with the X vs the Pro, yet the accompanying narrative (unsurprisingly) hasn’t. There wasn’t uniform characterization of “Playstation has no games”…

Well in the beginning, it came down to price. PS4 was more powerful at a $100 less (which in the history of gaming generations, has almost never happened). Price sells consoles more than anything else (exclusives included, which Xbox had way more of in the beginning). By the time MS unbundled Kinect and had price…
