what on earth is Josh Norman doing in this clip...

Man the last fighter I played (unless you wanna count SSB for the 3ds, which...don’t) was Soul Calibur II. It probably would take me 40 hours just to get back up to speed with those kinds of games

Hey Drew just wanted to say I liked your book! and oh my goodness the big reveal on the last page...

my favorite fighting game is Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey ‘98

doesn’t make him an infallible authority. If the creator of FIFA tried to tell me it was a shooting game (outrageous example, I’m aware) I wouldn’t accept that

this may all be true, but is not an argument against Smash being a fighting game. Checkers and chess are both board games. Super smash and Mortal Kombat are both fighting games!

well that’s one man’s opinion

so these games are better because you have to press 50 different buttons to use your attacks. Gotcha.

haha you really had me going until ‘or something’. You should stand behind your buddhist wisdom my friend

if it doesn’t require 40 hours of study just to learn the intermediate level combos, it’s not a real fighting game.

Better idea: just use tape. I promise that when the paper is in a crumpled heap after 5 seconds, nobody will give a damn about your elegant, tapeless Japanese gift-wrapping technique.

I just think it’s strange how nobody is willing to call a spade a spade. and OK don’t worry I’m not going to make you play Overwatch

and guess what he’s wrong too

well, as long as you’ve found a way to feel superior to people over something as completely fucking stupid as what video game they like to play

Let me describe a game to you: You select a character and are placed in an arena with 1 or more other characters. Every character has its own relative strengths and weaknesses. When the game begins, the objective is to defeat all your opponents. You have kicks, punches, and a variety of collectible power-ups and…

what saddens me is the great possibility that the memory of Craig, as well as Stu Scott, could in a few years’ time be reduced to little more than a guy whose death is used as another promo for the shitty-ass, meaningless ESPYs.

I did read about the time Craig spent the night with Secretariat, and I was shocked to learn that he (Craig, not the horse) never did! He (again Craig, not the horse) spent the night with Seattle Slew, the 1977 Triple Crown winner (and last before American Pharaoh). Secretariat won in ‘73.

hey, I spent my 20s playing a lot of basketball and smoking weed. You spent your watching Friends. Dif’rent strokes and all that

It’s not like he died suddenly...
