You’re being needlessly pedantic–and you’re also wrong. Microsoft’s right to decide who’s allowed on Xbox Live and what they’re allowed to do is free association, not free speech.

We’re aiming to be at PAX West this year. The game has changed a lot since the last time we showed it. I’d love to hear what you think of the two versions.

It sure is. The government can’t arrest you for it.

I was already 20 when Ichiro joined MLB and I think I’d thought I was years past the part of my life where a professional athlete could ever be the kind of immortal, larger-than-life figure that, say, Michael Jordan or Lawrence Taylor or Martina Navratilova had seemed to be when I was a kid. But Ichiro was—and in lots…

Easy answer: GM should design and produce better looking, higher quality parts for a car that wants to eat at the big kids table. The margins exist. It’s a matter of desire and dedication to being better, or in this case, the lack thereof. 

Good.

If there was one thing I’d hope for future games to take from RDR2, it’s the absolute necessity of a dedicated ‘howdy’ button. I played for a half hour last night - 20 mins howdying at the citizens of Valentine and the last 10 unsuccessfully trying to lasso a deer. Best half-hour in recent memory

I remember when the first Katamari game came out. There was virtually no buzz about it and it released with no fanfare (I think there might have been a small blurb in whatever game magazine I was subscribed to at the time). I’d gone to EB to buy a new memory card and happened to see the game on the shelf. It was the…

Suzuka has some of my very favorite video game corners.  130R is great.  The Esses are great.  Degners 1 and 2, run in combination, as well as Spoon and First Turn are challenging.  It’s such a great course.

I wonder where they drew inspiration?

when people talk “The Greatest Generation”, this is who they’re talking about.

Thank you so much for these powerful comments. I’ll pass them along to Jim. I’m sure he’ll appreciate them.

Thanks for this piece. I grew up under the long shadow of this generation’s achievements against long odds. My dad’s father was a pioneering African-American aviator and aeronautical engineer at Tennessee State University. He trained a number of future Tuskegee Airmen and hundreds of others. At one point he was the…

Revive it cowards!

I forget which episode of Parts Unknown it was, but there was one that started with him in some beautiful foreign locale, and in his voice-over (speaking in a present-tense style) he talks about how depressed he is and how he doesn’t want to do any of this. And then he talks about how he realizes how lucky he is and…

The F1 should be on top of that list. Other than that, I agree with your list.

You used to call me on the Wii Shop
