Archer had a more loving mom.

Darren Mitchell straight-up channeled Tim Follin for that track. Fantastic.

Twitchbot, is that you?

And then there were weird licensing issues like a few NFL quarterbacks breaking away and forming the “NFL Quarterback Club” to license themselves independent of the Players’ Association...which is how you got QB Browns and QB Eagles in Tecmo Super Bowl.

Until people get over their stupid FOMO, we’re going to have this shit. I don’t blame Capcom or Sony for taking advantage of a character flaw in their customer base.

She makes Boban Marjanovic look like Peter Dinklage.

If someone wants to give me $50 to interview at a McDonald’s, I’ll apply for the job even if I have no intention of taking it. It’s fifty bucks!
