The Boy Scouts are an egregiously poor example of minor institutional corruption (“They make the Boy Scouts look like the NFL” may even be a more realistic phrasing). Otherwise, agreed.

Malek is great in anything he pops up in, especially The Pacific, where I just think of him as the main character. But I keep bouncing right off Mr. Robot every time I try to get into it, no idea why.

Outstanding thought-experiment fodder. Example: Imagine a band founded by this version of Reznor and a “With Sympathy”-era Al Jourgenson. And what the hell, let’s give them some lead guitar in the form of a young “Diamond” Darrell Abbott. How radically would such a supergroup have affected the course of modern music…

Or they can paint the orange tip of their airsoft gun black. I’ve seen police waste a guy who did exactly that, in a whiskey-fueled suicide-by-cop maneuver. The fake AR15 he was waving around looked exactly like the real one that killed him.

What is “well off,” relatively? You’re on a gaming blog, meaning that you’re either A) an altruistic voyeur with magical free internet access or, more likely, B) a person with disposable income to spend on things you enjoy.

Remember Sierra’s “The Black Cauldron”? That game was explicitly marketed to small children (being based on the animated Disney film of the same name), and succeeded in making one eight-year-old feel like a bumbling, maladapted moron.

Except SQIV.

I guess that’s the only way to fit “Dirk signs with Mavs” into a lede somehow. I’ll be 40 in a couple weeks and am pretty sure there’s never been a more loyal pro player in my lifetime.

Great article, boring white girl.

Another Challenger here. I was seven, watching the launch live on TV. I also didn’t immediately comprehend what the explosion meant; I said something like, “Whoa, cool,” for which my mama whooped me as she explained that I’d just witnessed people die.

As of right now, Red Dead Redemption for 360 is Amazon’s fourth-best-selling videogame across all platforms (a jump of over 7,000% in the past 24 hours). Considering this, no, it isn’t a crazy statement.

Lots and lots of whippets.

If Anis and Mardini had sailed inflatable rafts through the waters off Rio, they’d be fucking dead. At least they get to swim in a pool this time.

Their defiance would definitely seem to indicate that they don’t care, but if their plan is to succeed on a global platform like Steam, they’d better change their approach (their Facebook page suggests they are aware of this, as they’ve allegedly fired some people in response to the blowback as of an hour ago).

Some of the team may be in Brazil, but Dream Games’ official contact info provides a phone number located in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan shares a border with Georgia, where recently a group of neo-nazis stormed a LGBT-friendly vegan cafe and smacked the patrons around with sausages; police arrived and determined the cafe’s…

Looks like we’ve found our next vice president

Why do the Sixers’ top picks ever even sign with the team? Yeah, you’ll get some money on the spot, but it’s a guaranteed forfeit of potentially far more money in the long term, nevermind any shot at all-time greatness (or winning, period). Your best-case scenario would be getting traded to another bottom-feeder…

Came for the gif. Where is it already

Hilldog would get steamrolled by a Cuban/Barkley ticket.

You forgot like everyone else, because the previous season’s finals featured two other lesser-market teams blatantly fixed by Team Donaghy.
