Am I the only one that thinks that Adidas’ modern basketball sneakers (Kobe and onward) are mad ugly? The 70s and 80s ones were fresh. And their skater and soccer shoes are classic, but those Kobe sneakers were terrible. 

Are wait times/ loading times better this time around? Having to wait for nearly a minute every time I died nearly made me quit the first one several times (on PS4).  

I bet they were relieved when that idea bubbled to the surface.

Just give me the proper Captain Tsubasa game I’ve been wanting for the past 30 years.

When I die, feel free to just throw my body in a ditch. I won’t have much use for it at that point. 

Conan O’Brien

Whoops... I committed the fatal sin of commenting before fully reading.

It’s about damn time.

Dark Beast Gannon wasn’t so bad. I think I beat him on my second try. The Lyonels were much more stressful to me and I actively avoided them whenever possible. 

The argument for staying with console gaming just got stronger... 

Meh. 

I am tormented by the musical theater people in my life constantly belting out showtunes. I find it only fair that this horror be visited upon the productions that created the problem in the first place.

I’ll watch anything Cartoon Saloon puts out, so I’m psyched to see their name included in the list of animation studios. And the combination of Aardman and Star Wars sounds like a match made in heaven. 

I can see a bit of both sides of this. I work for a company that also has additional budgetary support for diversity hires. On one hand it could seem insulting, like someone of color wouldn’t have been hired if it had come down to them and a white person (not necessarily true, but the perception could still be there).…

Most of these seem like a joke, but I’m going to be honest, that HomeRight Paint Stick has got my attention. 

I will agree that Manny Jacinto would have been perfect for this. Though I’m not sure why it is a binary choice between one Asian man and another.

As someone who didn’t grow up in the US... can someone explain the Grandmammy thing to me? Is it a slave term?

I’m guessing you played this on a ps5 or xbox series, so it may be pointless to ask, but are the loading times between deaths 10 minutes long again? That was the most frustrating thing about the last one for me. 

Not that this isn’t an interesting news article, but... what does it have to do with Kotaku?

This is literally the only impact Quibi ever had on the world.
