After taking 4 years to be prosecuted, no less.

I’m old enough to have liked Jesse Spencer from House.

Now it sounds like they are going for some Anime vibe... in Chicago? Is this something people asked for?

I think she just read him bang-on. Her explanation of “playing Adelstein, not the cards” makes a lot of sense to me; she somehow read he was nervous, saw the 10-9 was a possible straight, and reasoned that if he was nervous it was because he was hoping for straight cards rather than something to boost the

Apparently The Pokémon Company is showing bits of Scarlet and Violet to the Pokémon World Ecological Society, which I’m delighted to learn is a thing.

“I Would Really Like to Tell Everyone My Opinions, So I’m Going to Act Like This is a Big Deal When It Really Isn’t”

BREAKING NEWS: Developer responds to accusations of TLOU being a cash grab by saying, “Nuh-uh.” More at 11.

I’m worried about his choice to do everything solo. As Nextlander (and Kinda Funny and Giant Bomb itself) have proven, the content is better when there are multiple “regulars” who can play off each other. If this new podcast is just Jeff monologuing for hours at a time, I suspect I’ll fall off pretty quick.

“Jeff Gerstmann” and “amicable separation” probably don’t belong in the same sentence.

Also, it is a year to the day since the Brad, Vinny, and Alex left. I’m guessing there was a “stay on for a year” aspect to his contract he didn’t option to renew. In hindsight, this may have been the plan all along.
