I think it’s great that you know how to play. I also agree that it’s a failure if older family members don’t teach kids how to play spades/dominos, hell, even something as simple as tonk (the black gateway drug for card games). That said, it really doesn’t happen anymore.

Counterpoint to No. 6: Spades may not be played at all, because few black people under 35 know how to play spades. This skews worse for college educated and women.

I haven’t played A Machine for Pigs yet, though I’m not surprised about the whole “glorified walking simulator” thing, namely because it comes from The Chinese Room, makers of walking sims Dear Esther and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture.

I still don’t understand the NO review of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Owen’s review boiled down to “I’m bad at the game’s mechanics and the CPU isn’t, so this isn’t a good game.” Meanwhile, it’s one of the best reviewed games on Steam (currently at 95% Positive, or Overwhelmingly Positive).

I’m surprised Drew didn’t mention Brady probably being a Trump supporter.

He might not make it to the NFL. Hackenberg threw more INTs than TDs last year. And this team is worse than last year.

The Larry David Sandwich, also known as the Richard Lewis Sandwich. Just as unliked, although with the sandwich you can brush off the capers if you don’t want them.

I don’t disagree with how the scene is composed. To me it feels like a CGI tech demo instead of showing off the individual talents of Fireteam Osiris. But I was responding to someone saying this felt over-the-top for Halo and felt more like the Avengers, which if they’ve been paying attention for the last 15 years is…

This is hardly far-fetched in the Halo universe. In the books Master Chief has swatted rockets with his hands, in Halo 3 he jumped from low-orbit to Africa without a parachute, and there’s always this from Halo 2:

Right. I’m not surprised that the people who botched the PC version couldn’t deliver the last-gen versions, but hopefully Warner Bros. learns something from this.

Hey, relax guy! I’m just messing with you. Besides, there’s no need to deny your Tebow love to me. We know his line played badly, and despite the avalanche of fundies and mouthbreathers who will chant at every practice, team event, and game that “We want Tebow” until Sam Bradford separates his shoulder for the fifth…

“This kid is a gamer. He’s a baller, he’s a playmaker, and a shot caller. And in case you didn’t know, I got Tebowed and he’s shattered the mold. All he does is win, all-all he does is win.”

I didn’t realize there was an official soundtrack until I went on Youtube and saw that classic songs like “Granny Says Kick Yo Black Ass”, “Come Pet the P.U.S.S.Y.”, and “I’m Just a Human Being” (of which my avatar is based from) had full songs.

Fuck the Security Guards.

Is this coming to PS4? I ask because Engadget just ran an interview where it’s more or less stated as being console exclusive to the Xbox One.

Many of the levels in Crysis 1 were like that. There were objectives, sure, but the majority of them were at the very beginning or end of the level, and everything else, with rare exception, was essentially “we’re dropping you in this huge playground, now mess stuff up, or whatever.” I’m not sure how the level designs…

I stand partially corrected. The Twitch uploads are fine (minus Shenmue II), but a lot of the Youtube uploads are messed up.

A lot of the speedruns recorded are more or less unwatchable because of the poor audio recording. For instance, both Shenmue II as well as Resident Evil 3’s audio is extremely difficult to hear on Youtube and nearly non-existant on Twitch.

I’d like the source for that statistic, but I’d also say that I’m not that surprised if true. Very few people die in the ring, but their injuries often last forever (or eventually kill them later).

I’m not really sure that matchmaking could have helped much for Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The barrier between scrub and “competent enough to win or at least compete online” was massive in that game, especially compared to Street Fighter IV. MvC3 is a game where if you get hit once there’s a very strong chance you’re going…
