soccer is probably the most wrong Ebersol ever was.

It was successful at one tournament held the day after the game’s release. Maybe we should wait to see if this unstoppable reign of terror lasts through the weekend before we start ringing the “unbalanced” alarm bells.

I have the inverse of this story, and it’s somehow one of the things I’m most proud and most ashamed of. When I was in college, a girl 5 or 6 years older than me drove six hours to cheat on her boyfriend with me all weekend while he was out of town. This boyfriend had a bunch of really accurate Star Wars costumes and…

I don’t think this is about younger people craving advertisements or whatever, it’s more like a mildly dystopian nightmare where ads have learned to shunt themselves into every moment of our lives.

The most-liked comment here is defending his contributions as being major and essential to Rockstar’s numerous successes.

I mentioned this in my own comment, but for me, wobbling actually added suspense. You spend the whole match waiting to see if they can land this one huge technique that instantly means the other person is losing a stock. Like, the actual time spent in the wobble isn’t suspenseful, but everything leading up to it is.…

Melee is more trouble than it’s worth at this point. I cared a lot less about it once Smash 4 came out and there was an actual fun, competitive, modern version of Smash. Since Ultimate, I don’t think I’ve watched a second of it.

This confirms what we’ve all suspected for years: Donkey Kong is part-Andalite, the race of blue-furred telepathic alien deer-centaur-scorpion hybrids from Animorphs who eat via their hooves.

I’m sure that a lot of us have different favorite creative people/projects that have their roots in Flash. I’ve got several. N was a fun way to kill time in class, which led to N+ being the Xbox 360 game I may have spent the most time playing, and finally N++, the reason I bought a PS4. Flash gave us the guys who…

A couple of other things they mentioned from the stream is that it will have co-op, since that’s sort of a requirement for them, and that it’s not a remake of the original.

Most school hair policies, and especially hair length policies, are bullshit. Even as a white guy I was subject to all kinds of unnecessary scrutiny and grief from school administrators over hair when I was in school, and that’s even without all the race-based stuff that makes it so much worse for black kids (and…

Also, while this is true to some extent of lots of fanbases, a ton of Kobe fans are nuts. Like, follow-you-down-an-alley-and-shank-you-with-a-house-key-if-you-say-he’s-not-the-greatest-ever nuts. And that was while he was alive. Grief is not making them more rational.

Ugh, why can’t victims of sexual assault just talk about sexual assault at a time that’s more convenient for me as a person who’s never experienced it, such as never? Why must I be forced to consider the humanity of others? When will this nightmare end for me?

The funniest part of that Wikipedia page is the end of the “Television career” section (poetic). “Post-NBC: On January 11, 2019, [she] announced she would be back on television that year without providing details.” And then nothing.

Which one of you jerks put all these tears in my eyes and all down my face?

Kotick is a proto-herb. 

I’m with you. I always find myself at least as interested in how this stuff is discovered and tested and refined to the point of a consistent and reliable technique. Like, it’s cool that you can hit a frame-perfect jump on a specific pixel of a pipe in Mario to glitch through a level, but I want to hear about how…

Those few months after release, when people were so mad about the lack of modes, grinding fight money, and colors being locked behind survival mode (and just survival mode in general, along with other stuff I’m probably forgetting), they were holding up everything in the game as a reason to be furious. It’s like…

I think it’s partially because the larger feet and hands Street Fighter has always used became more noticeable to people in the last couple of games with the shift to 3D models. I remember seeing some complaints about how Capcom was (according to these people) “suddenly” giving everyone giant hands and feet in SFV,…

Most of these responses are correct - 999 is the popular one in the UK that a lot of people grew up learning from safety adverts and stuff. 112 is the standard EU number. But it’s less confusing than it seems, since people recognize that you may not be thinking clearly during a crisis, so most of these numbers…
