I would also point out that Siege has a game as service model, where those microtransactions fund game support and additional content over the course of 4 years. Its an ongoing economy. 2K suckers players into throwing all their money at it ASAP to beat the grind or compete in multiplayer, then herd in a whole new…

That, in both cases, is a very sad story -- and what ultimately keeps the machine chugging along. You can actually see it in the game, wherein the first week of release, folks are riding around the neighborhood on scooters with bright green hair (both which are very expensive), with their player at a level…

I kind of got the impression this would be an enjoyable alternative to Wildlands. But having played Wildlands and both Divisions, it feels like a slight marrying of the two. But certainly not the new survival game experience I was expecting, built up from what Ghost Recon has done in the past.

I kind of enjoyed the (wonky) beta, but I also do miss the concrete distinction between the Ghost Recon / Rainbow Six / Splinter Cell games. I want more depth with each iteration, but the direction they are going here is kind of muddling up the identity of their older brands. I’m a huge fan of developing your…

I’m not sure I would even attend my gym if it weren’t for their open fitness studio policy. I’m in there daily, lights off (or halfway off). Unless, of course, someone was in there first, then I don’t touch a thing ... because I wasn’t raised by wolves.

Can any of this compare to the Titan’s early game journey of trying to earn some armor that doesn’t look like it was crafted from spray-painted cardboard boxes? I’m just going to assume this is what birthed the invention of the game’s level boost coin.

He looks like an Elseworlds version of Adam West. Wherein he spent so much time trying to convert Robin, didn’t realize the tremendous following of crazed Gotham City men in makeup he’d accumulated. The irony.

Hey, I’m sure there are fine Nazi Pedophiles on both sides. 

Yeah, turns out they really don’t :( They used puppeteers in green suits against green screen instead. I mean, I guess I can’t really be mad at the craft - just my personal little quirk of mine.

“The Division 2’s community has been cranky about the state of that game... The show’s return today was cancelled at the last minute.”

I remember the early Ghost Recon games, crawling on my belly in an open field absolutely terrified because a well-placed bullet could take you out from what seemed like a mile away.

Which is very dangerous territory for a comedian to go. A lot of the greats tell horror stories about addressing their commercial success during their act. And Chappelle has been doing it a lot lately. I can’t say I don’t admire to some degree that Dave deliberately treads some seriously treacherous waters.

That might be why ABC showed Looney Tunes in the very last timeslot of my Saturday morning cartoons. Just in time for my parents to be up and explain to me what the hell I’m watching, then tell me to go outside and cut some grass. 

I think at some point it got lost in the shuffle that those shorts weren’t actually mad…

I remember really liking the Illusionist when I saw it, but because of the Prestige, I barely remember it now. Its odd how the exposure to one can sometimes trump the other. 

Fine, not the greatest laugh, but I’ll give Jack the nod for best lines in those two hours, hands down. I haven’t rubbed another man’s rhubarb since 1989.

... and I’m betting their social marketing specialist only had room / time for 4 slots.

I think the grillers were the last thing I ate there, closer to their release when they were on the cheap (Taco Bell prices in my area are increasingly suspicious, $5 box my ass). Even though I have favorites on the menu, my visits stick to the value menu items. Beefy Frito Burritos and Potato Soft Tacos till I die...…

Dead serious, I think a perfectly fried chalupa easily makes my list for top ten favorite foods on the planet, certainly one of my favorite fast food items ever. And I barely even eat fast food these days.

I have a very strange affinity for how they just used a smallish actor in costume to depict the Gelflings in distant action shots. My internal child would always shout “look, they real!” during those scenes. Do they do any of that in the series? *fingers crossed*

... and here we are. We’re struggling to get to Step 2, cuz we’re still stuck in Step 1 trying to explain to half the country that water is wet. Sarah Huckabee Kayleigh McEnany has a job to do, which is actually lie for the Cheetoh in Chief. The problem is there is a nation of Trumpers who would make the same…
