His explanation does shine some light on why he didn’t answer the audience member’s question at all. I think what he was saying was important and true, but I would also like to have heard what his answer was the old beardy’s question.

How dare they use celebrities to promote something! When Lady GaGa did the Super Bowl halftime show last year, I remember the deadspin post being snarky about how little she knew about football. WHAT A POSER! AM I RIGHT? This is why people hate gamers.

He’s lamenting that she’s reppin’ a book instead.

I get the outrage to an extent. However, its the blatant double standard that irks me. Bernie gets to do and say divisive shit all the time without redress. He’s currently pushing a “Medicare for all” bill that’s nothing but political theatre. If there are substantive trade-offs and reasonable tax dollars to…

Good one. If we’re going the grammar route:

lowest percentage of the popular vote of any Democratic candidate since Michael Dukakis

Okay, so she wrote a book and is promoting it. If her mere presence offends Bernie diehards so-goddamn-much, maybe, juuust maybe, it’s not her that’s the problem. I seem to remember Sanders going on a democrat unity tour while simultaneously losing a meaningless CNN debate on healthcare to Ted Cruz, saying he wasn’t…

You better make another post about how much better it used to be followed by a toothless vow to stop reading the AV club.

And you changed it. Doesn’t my comment look dumb now.

As someone who lives in New Orleans, you scared the shit out of me with that headline graphic. We’re in the clear for now. Knock on wood.

Have you met Congress? They would have overridden the veto and placed all the blame on Bill faster than you did in your first revisionist-history comment. And what would that have gotten the progressive agenda? The same bill passed with less political bargaining power. That’s a solid political strategy that you’ve…

I understand the law. Do you understand Congressional veto overrides? Because that happens when there is a two thirds majority who voted for a bill in the House and Senate (which is exactly what happened here). So yes, Congress did “hold a gun to his head” constitutionally. I’m guessing you’d rather him do a…

Haha. You failed to mention that both the House and Senate voted in favor of IIRIRA higher than a two thirds majority. Bill Clinton couldn’t have vetoed it if he wanted to. Despite placing undue blame on Bill Clinton and failing to give any reason why that bill and Obama’s executive order have anything to do with…

The thing about this entire issue: gamers don’t get to define what is and is not censorship in games. Blizzard put out a beta, and one fan commented on a pose that he thought was out of character for Tracer. The developers agreed that the pose was too overtly sexualized for the character. You call this censorship. …

Hot take: I think this is a weird callback to the neckbeard outrage over the Tracer butt thing.

As much as I can understand you being in the grays, this is pretty solid.

Does his phone’s keyboard not have a period function?

Can I ask if there is any way to possibly integrate the AV club’s video game stories with Kotaku’s and vice versa? There was an similar story regarding this very video on their site a few hours ago. Is there anything being discussed about this in Kinja-Univision land?

Hot Take:

Is it as pretentious as it looks? Is this the white version of The Nutty Professor? Either way, SIGN ME UP!
