And how long have you been living in Brooklyn?

You were drinking a PBR as you typed that, weren't you?

I'm not even going to try to pass myself off as a hipster soccer fan, but this was really exciting. Good for the USA.

New to Gawker, are you?

There's a pro-rape consensus?!?

I agree that 720p and 1080p are different. But I'm also working with a 55" monitor and watching from about 10' away. The point that a lot of people are making is that the difference gets smaller as your monitor size does, with viewing distance also playing a role. This chart helps illustrate what I mean. Once you…

Yeah - even the difference between 1080p and 720p is almost unnoticeable unless you're working with a display that's over 42". I've seen a 4k TV live, and, while it looks gorgeous up close, you would be hard-pressed to spot the difference between a 4k TV and a high-end LED 1080p TV from a normal viewing distance…

I love not having a vagina. That is all.

I like the part where he tells the kid to shut the fuck up, then says, "Ok, you have all the answers, how are we going to beat Bradley?," then, when the kid answers, the coach tells him to keep his fucking mouth shut.

I wouldn't call this "legitimately scary," though. That video of the dude feeding an alligator with…

I beat Punch-Out!!, not as a kid, but sometime around college when I was playing a buddy's old NES. I've found that I can't get past Soda Popinski as an adult, which is troubling. I'm not sure if that speaks to diminishing reflexes in my 30s, slight defects in emulation from the clone system I use, or simply lag…

I was JUST going to post about Golgo-13. It seemed like a super-cool game (based on a manga I had never heard of - nor had I heard of "manga," actually) with great graphics, but, man, did it kick my ass. There was a super-elaborate level-select code that involved using both controllers, but I only got it to work…

Great piece. Hacks like Whitlock, who sometimes play the part of a good progressive, but actually hold some views that conservatives / racists enjoy reading, need to be weeded out of journalism. As is said more eloquently above, the reason that he has such a hard time launching his Black Grantland is that authentic b…

I think this is fake. Seems like the girlfriend is acting.

I saw this last night and re-watched it twice because I thought I missed something. Nope. Machado is just insane. This was a routine play. Machado reacted as if . . . well, I'm not sure. As if Donaldson should have let him go to third? Unclear.

Thank you. This is the point I try to make all the time: There is the legal right of free speech, which of course only prevents government sanction. But there is a broader, cultural idea of free speech. People who think that the First Amendment protection of free speech is all there is of free speech are, in a…

I have to say, though - once he got tackled, the guy put on a pretty impressive display of dog-jitsu from a grounded position.

Looked more like a botched robbery to me.

You win.
