Why so lazy (cheap) about requesting permission to use the photo in the first place? I can almost excuse this from a small company or a start-up ... but MSI? This fair use thing is absurd too.

I love me some Russ Westbrook: Sonic the Hedgehog playing in the NBA for realz.

I’m confused by the birthday tweet regarding Theodore. She’s wishing him happy birthday at 8 months? Do rich people live along different chronological development timelines? Should we then be divining Ivanka’s age based on this new 8 month cycle?

Back, and to the left. Back, and to the left.

Yeah, I loved Shaw’s fire and grit ... but boy he had a tendency to lose his shit. I do miss him a little.

The second video is much tastier as far as the smack goes. It immediately calls to mind C3P0 getting blasted to pieces in The Empire Strikes Back; specifically when he’s reassembled and relives the last few seconds of his life, “I must warn the others. Oh, no! I’ve been shot!”

On December 13th, the Wolves play my Bulls. I am really looking forward to this encounter. I’m curious to see how Thibodeau conducts himself and whether or not he climbs into the stands to punch John Paxson. I’m also anxious to see how the Timberwolves play after a grueling 10-hour practice leading up to the game.

Guys, I think an unstable individual may have been elected President of the United States.

Your comment brought me to tears off laughter. Holy shit. Thank you.

Wow. I’m a Fenwick parent; I guess I should care about this in some way ...

After I got my VIVE and played a few games I thought of two things I wish I had the time and energy to make: a VR recreation of the original Enterprise bridge and a game where you are a giant monster trashing randomly generated cities with a military response system.

Agree. I didn’t expect much from Vanishing Realms, but the first time you encounter a skeletal warrior it totally changes your idea of playing an RPG. I remember freezing in front of it and saying, “Oh, shit.” Neither of us had a weapon yet and it was a funny standoff for a good minute. I came back with a sword and

Count the number of times his feet move after the last time the ball bounces. If you get higher than 2 it’s a traveling violation.

Uh, even if you ignore the obvious shove ... that’s a traveling violation. But whatevs!

The worst part was not the jump shot. It’s the fact that he fails to get back on defense in time to defend the lane. This is after taking a shot from near the three-point line.

Uh ... he coaches one-hundred million miles an hour even in the pre-season. We saw this for five years in Chicago. Did you think this was going to change somehow? Thibodeau has even more power in Minnesota than he had in Chicago—”This is How He Does Basketball(tm)“

Wow. It just hit him that Trump was elected president in that moment. I get it.

Why has this taken so long to be a thing?

This burns me up. People should have been voting for the preferred real outcome and not for their zero-chance pet poodle project or from their haughty high-horses.
