Perhaps if the Red Sox were more confident in their own identity, they wouldn’t feel the need to constantly bring up the Yankees. I am a fan of neither team, but that kind of unwarranted persecution complex is tiresome. I don’t have to watch, and I won’t, if it’s gonna be like that.

You make a good point. By going so drastically minimalist with the UI, but still placing the game player in an artificial world with STRICT (but hidden) rules, the game player is placed in an awkward situation that can easily become not fun due to frustration with the hidden rules.

The real story here is how much shittier “Lauren” is than the other deadspin writers. There could have been a deeper discussion made, or any research done, at all. Instead, we got “her” typical 5-minute vomit of a post. Just the worst, as usual, and I can guess why “she” was hired.

NOTE: Unlike trashy text blogs, the Google game doesn’t work from behind some workplace firewalls.

About my same sentiments. Wishing him death, but not by my hand. I would prefer by his own hand, or by natural causes. Sooner the better.

Right on. And for an article about being offended at which classics were not included, I find it amusing that I had to venture down to WheelchairUnderMarkHarmon’s comment to find a mention of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which was originally for the PS1, and could have been included. Metroidvania deserves…

Also a bit lost in a fog of uncertainty is whether the writer will be able to fully enjoy the vacation. Far away from the PS4, will thoughts drift to RDR2, sidequests, lighting, and foliage? I should hope not.

If you watched GoT you might recall Margaery Tyrell (another shifty ginger) sharing some profound insights about people’s sexual preferences. For this couple, their preference is for each other. You, and your tall girl identity, are not a factor in their decision. Let it go.

I’m 40, and I exercise regularly. I do not have these issues. I drive a normal sedan. It’s not super flashy. Instead, it’s my actual body that’s the exciting sporty-looking eye candy. And people (both men and women) are regularly making inquires about whether they can go for a ride. You people are sad.

Welcome to TV. On average, the people are better looking and more interesting than their real-life counterparts. THAT is your criticism? They are decent shows. Audiences don’t want a tv show that’s totally “accurate”, especially in regard to visuals.

“I’ll have what they’re having”. And while you’re at it, give me some of whatever Tiger Woods is taking.

Counter-point: unless you’re a video game player, these are things NOT WORTH KNOWING. Good for them, to reject such useless knowledge. As do I.

Deadspin and it’s corporate siblings are still plenty cruel. Come off it. The sanctimonious nature of your words just make it worse.

It’s an indoor arena. They can host endless events. They don’t need extra funding. That’s the difference. The fact that deadspin writers don’t know to highlight that distinction is part of why the “writing” on this site is often such a joke.

Good catch. Like the store vendor said in the quote, even Eagles fans didn’t actually care enough to buy them. And I’d just like to point out this was another excellent article by Dan.

A Kenyan just broke the marathon World Record by almost a minute. He says he doesn’t dope, but I do not believe him. Lance Armstrong claimed he was clean too, until he didn’t.

Shades of David Bowie. Even if the girls, once they become women, claim they were “willing”, that doesn’t make it right. They’d likely be happier seeking an appropriate partner, rather than chasing some temporary Stardust that’s gonna treat them like a Kneenex. Touched, then Discarded.

This isn’t the first time that a congressperson tried using a last-minute stealth grenade to start a fire that failed to ignite through earlier, more straightforward and legitimate efforts. The woman’s not coming forward, so it’s clearly too little too late. By aiming a blow that missed so awkwardly, it only HELPS…

Video gamers are by definition people who are needy, and difficult to please. They need the temporary distraction of video games. They need the temporary pleasure of the games, as a distraction from the pain. I would NOT want to work in a gamestop, for just one example of gamers as a group best avoided.

“The sore throat that came with it nearly made me commit suicide.” Any sympathy I felt for your suffering after your first sentence just disappeared. Perhaps “comedy” sociopaths like Louis C.K. thinks weird suicide jokes are funny. It seems like half the kinja commenters think they are comedians in training, and that “…
