It’s a bit different. Rightly or wrongly, we treat athletes as public figures and role models. Maybe because we take our kids to watch them perform, we wear their jerseys, etc. If we’re cheering for stalkers or the like, we want to know about it. Nobody looks at sportswriters that way.

Check your videos before ya post. The guy doesn’t actually transform in that one, instead you get someone tripping and falling.

The special ingredient in every Bethesda game is love.

And bugs. A whole lot of bugs.

I mean at this point the jank is a feature.

When I first got Skyrim on PC i started bolting on a crap ton of mods and when I started the game i didn’t even make it to the gate before the carriage carrying us got launched into space. It was amazing.

“Hold on; a black girl, writing about video games? This will never work...”

Talking, eating, sharing stories, laughing...

When I woke up to find blood all over my house from an inch-long gash on my head with absolutely no idea what had happened is when I quit.

I was skeptical until you found the pool on the roof, Zero Cool.

A million stars for this reference.

Holy crap, Carr’s hit piece on her is despicable. How is “sportswriter accused of harassing phone calls to ex” news? What are those blind quotes other than anonymous character assassination? That’s astonishing.

Dave, thank you for doing this. From our conversations, I have a sense of how much time you spent on this. I believe your aim was true and your heart was pure. As I read this, I am both angry and sad. Sad for what happened to my friend. Angry that I only knew of her condition after she had passed, when it was too late…

I’ll get right on after I find the swimming pool on the roof.

Are you cracked man?

Buying you Titanfall 2 will give you the base game plus all future maps/modes/whatever. They did not say ‘ON LAUNCH’ they said buying it gives you everything, so no, it’s not at all, in any way, disingenuous.

Change the name and profession and you have my father’s story. It’s heartbreaking.

As a person who has questioned his relationship with alcohol, especially as I’ve grown older, this scares the shit out of me.

I can’t believe their EA overlords are letting them imply such ridiculous notions.

I hate it when I come to Deadspin hoping to see a Haisley posted soccer gif, or a Jamboroo and wind up spending 30 minutes reading a well-written, longform article that causes introspection.

Having just spent last week at the hospital detoxing my dad, this is a depressing read. I’d like to think he might actually stop drinking this time, but it is so unlikely.
