I read this article and the words by themselves made sense so I was fairly certain that I wasn’t having a stroke. Then I scrolled back to the top and began reading it again, but his time mentally applied a Valley Girl infliction, wherein it all began to click into place. Nathan, you have missed your calling and I…

That’s not why cable is exempt. Cable is exempt from anti-trust law because it’s a utility.

Wasn’t there a Hyper Neo Geo game that used a 6 (7?) button layout?

I’m just going to point out that his notes are separated by topic and that while having talking points available, particularly complimentary ones, for Sen. Harris should he be asked means that he likely has reason to talk about her, by the author’s reasoning there’s an equal chance that Biden may also choose, “What I…

I played it once. Much like Battletoads, it was far more enjoyable to watch someone who had played it enough times to know what was coming when than it was to die repeatedly.

See?  He can’t be racist against black people because he banged this Cuban kid’s sister!  

This is just more virtue signalling. There won’t be meaningful change until they publicly admit that the Orcs didn’t form the Black Horde over territorial disputes and straight up admit that they just wanted to continue to eat villagers.

I guessed on River Raid.  I couldn’t tell if #2 was Donkey Kong or Frogger and guessed the latter. Burgertime seemed to be the most accurate of the descriptions.  It was like someone just put these through Google Translate and then translated them back to English. 

IANAL, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express and my presumtion is that Nintendo’s legal argument isn’t on the license. After all, Nintendo has little recorse if you choose to name your character Buttface in Ocarina of Time. They will argue that they own the platform (i.e. servers) on which the transactions are…
