“It should be a lot of fun and I got a little getting even to do”

This is good.

Watch Dogs was pretty meh. Watch Dogs 2 was pretty good, thanks to an actually likable character and some cool drone mechanics. Legion, though...looks really fucking good. It’s been a long time since Far Cry 2, so I look forward to seeing if Clint Hocking has still got it.

And it’s gone. Here’s a potato-cam version.

And here I was thinking that this particular rape case featuring a global sports superstar would be straightforward

the way he took Britton out Vlad Jr should be the next UK Prime Minister

“I’m sorry I opened my mouth. I’m not anti-God, anti-Christ, or anti-religion. I was not knocking it. I was not saying I’m greater or better than Jesus....Just Ivan de Jesus.”

Feeling kinda down goes Frazier! Feeling kinda down goes Frazier!

The degree to which sportswriters think that petty bullshit like this matters is just staggering.

if the batter had sprinted to first then Kinsler doesn’t let the ball drop since it is unlikely that the throw to first would beat the runner.  Alternatively, if Kinsler does let it drop then you’re most likely just looking at a simple force out at second.  

McCutchen engaging in an earnest rundown, instead of just accepting the double play while glaring angrily at his teammate, makes what happened all the more painful

So...that’s sounds....neat, on a technical level...but not particularly conducive to good character work or compelling storytelling.

Watch Dogs 2 is really, really good...I think I’d just like more of that in a different setting.

120k really isn’t much to make a video game with if you’re paying employees. That’s a staff of four, maybe five if you’re paying peanuts for one year.

Maybe it is bigotry. As someone who doesn’t really know what to think...here’s where my mind goes.

If the league has guidelines and the athlete in question follows the guidelines, then who cares? It’s their league, they make the rules, and the rules were followed. Seems pretty simple to me. So, the logical conclusion is that people have some other reason for having a problem with this athlete competing according to

I’m all for sticking it to hypocritical conservatives, and I’m all for leaving people the hell alone and letting them be whomever they feel they are. However, this relatively new dynamic of trans-women competing in women’s sports is pretty much the greyest of grey areas.

Insufficient in today’s age. The court of public opinion does a lot of financial and public relations damage to a celebrity regardless of what the court of law does or does not do. And that court already starts making up its mind from day 1. I am not excusing the release of the photos; that was excessive.

If he is telling the truth and it was consensual, then what other defense is there other than to attack her credibility and show a history of a consensual sexual relationship?
