That’s nothing. Ricky Rubio had a $100k bonus on the line for shooting 40 percent, went into the last game shooting 40.2 and sat it out.

To be fair: The Wolves were using variants of the “howl” logo in the early 90s before the Coyotes existed. This is a quasi-throwback.

I really liked Skyrim and Dragon Age. Witcher 3 was the best game I’d ever played until its own expansions topped it.

The natural conclusion of this argument is that it’s worth beating the shit out of one paying customer so dozens more will not be inconvenienced. That where we’re going with this?

But *humans* set that policy, not United Skynet. Humans made it inflexible, humans enforced it to the degree where other humans thought getting some cops to drag the guy out was their best option, those cops were humans, and humans trained those cops to think their best option was to beat the shit out of the guy.

Is anyone else disappointed that she was just threatening to blackmail him kinda like someone did on Entourage, rather than hatching an elaborate plot where Entourage itself would somehow ruin his life, like planting his darkest secrets in the episode to be exposed when it aired?

“I mean, what I’m gonna do just all of the sudden just jump up and grind my feet in somebody’s couch like it’s something to do? Come on, I got a little more sense than that. ...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet into Eddie’s couch.”

They can just pick a canonical ending and forge ahead. Plenty of games do it without issue. I don’t think many people booted up Warcraft II and went: “But in my game the humans won!” If you’re not continuing Shepherd’s story, it’s even easier.

“The issue here, though, isn’t so much the potentially tainted piss (Who cares?! the 2008 Olympics were fun as hell!” 

Don’t forget about the fun little stretch under his GOP when state constitutional amendments barring gay marriage became all the rage to turn out voters!

His post-9/11 Iraq was not.

It was too much, both for him and the viewer. We didn't even need the Shadow King named. All we need to know to engage with the show is that he was co-opted by a powerful entity from a young age and that it wants him for his powers. Everything else at this point is overkill.

Would the administration and the student body have allowed the first gay student body president to be voided for using charity glow sticks?

It’s a direct response to Schreier’s Destinyisms:

Hmmm...this is funny when it’s M .Swarthington Shacklebolt III from Johns Hopkins, but when it’s “look at that crazy ethnic name bro!,” it has a whiff of Problematic to it.

Now THIS is thinking. Who do we got here? I’m punting Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Idaho, both Dakotas, Indiana and Ohio as a fuck-you.

Hmm, I don’t agree with his Bart-killing policy, but I DO agree with his Selma-killing policy.

This actually strikes me as workable. Really, how many games are we talking about over the course of a season where teams rest healthy players? Maybe a dozen total? I don’t know what the mechanics would look like, but that’s a small enough pool of money (maybe $20 million or $30 million) where you could straight-up…

I understand and agree with the sentiment, but if you start on Christmas you’re looking at about 50 games, and that’s without fixing the schedule pacing issues that produce back-to-backs.

They set out to do very different things, and each does them really well. When I played through HoS I thought it was the best expansion I’d ever played — gripping story, new mechanical flourishes, compelling characters. In a game built on dark morality plays, it might be the apex of the genre.
