Please no. The last thing we need in the world is more justification for picking Widow & Hanzo. While they are difficult to “master” in entirety, the parts of them that are very easy to master—pulling the trigger—are way too effective for unskilled players. All the player needs to do is pull the trigger, and if they…

the chief thing holding them back from competing with their economic betters for elite players has been the club’s reluctance to dole out the massive transfer fees and contracts the world’s best players command.

I was joking, of course.

Don’t be an ignorant ass. The racists in Orange County are just-on-top of the radar.

Glorious stuff.

Speaking of which, where is the damn W-S catalog post, Drew? I need gift ideas!

My recollection is that MLS originally used a countdown-style clock like this, but everyone hated it and they switched to the standard soccer time system after a few seasons.

I have spent the past week playing Junkenstein’s Revenge in Overwatch with some friends. Rather than take any of the objectives seriously, we have just tried to get the best photobombs. Laughs all around, while the poor random 4th player in our group gets furious at us for emoting Torbjorn in front of Junkenstein’s…

An underappreciated statistic about Markkanen is that 0% of the hairs on his head have moved from their original position since opening day.

Of course they have a choice. Ownership of various pieces of intellectual property doesn’t equate to ownership of labor, and there is nothing stopping anyone under contract at Barstool from saying, “You know, I think I’m done here.” If PFT signed away a nickname he had long before he ever became affiliated with…

I’m not sure how that relates to my comment—perhaps you meant it for someone else?

I think that trying to compare earlier time periods is just impossible. The Internet’s ability to mobilize large numbers of people to scour FB and Twitter histories and anything a person has ever said has led to pervasive social media firestorms and an environment where the specter of Big Backlash keeps companies like…

I’ve said several times that PFT Commenter deserves better opportunities, and I can hardly criticize him for taking the ones that are offered to him, but the longer a person sticks with Barstool, the harder it is for me to feel sorry for them.

And still better than any other striker on Everton’s squad list.

The thought I always have when seeing this sort of stuff is...how do they have time to figure this stuff out? The sheer number of hours required to know a game this well—let alone to devote to practicing the precise execution of glitches—is just staggering, and I cannot wrap my head around how people who do this still…

Great episode, and I especially liked the bit where you mentioned how the Mercy culture of hiding has been created by other non-Mercy players telling her to hide. This is true, but it also left out that Blizzard is also to blame—one the in-game “Tips” that shows up for Mercy explicitly encourages you to play more…

The gripe about “undoing the hard work” other players just blows my mind every time I hear it, and it sort of makes me scratch my head why conversations (such as this excellent pod episode) never mention what are (to me) the most obvious responses.

YOU KNOCK BOISE AND I KNOCK YOU
