My ex-wife’s sister worked for the concert hall in my city where Video Games Live was playing. They were in a bit of a pinch; two of their volunteer drivers had called in, so they needed someone to fill in to pick up people from the hotel and take them to the airport the morning after the show. I offered to help her…

Ooh. Are we swapping Tommy stories?

I believe this 100%. I have seen him be incredibly rude to people. I don’t understand how bad humans get ahead in life. Talent should 2nd to morals and being kind to others.

People like that aren’t worth the effort (and, as you said, blood on the seats). But Ziff-Davis’s name sort-of lives on in ZD Net, which I still read, especially their hardware reviews.

Miyamoto’s refusal to adapt best practices from the industry was his biggest weakness. The fact that he practically had to be begged into using a live orchestra to record the original Mario Galaxy soundtrack is just one of many examples.

• How will we handle money?

Eh... I don’t really agree that grill pans are pointless and I think a lot of chefs would agree with me.

Well, this news certainly makes me grimace...

“For some reason, then-EIC Stephen Totilo decided to take a chance on me”

“Doesn’t like politics” means he’s fortunate enough to not be affected by politics.

It would cost me $30,000 a year to move from the DFW area to NYC. I’d really enjoy working for Kotaku, but most writers would lose money by accepting either of those jobs.

Why is telecommuting not an option?

When my Dad died, my two brothers decided to ignore the three-way even split the will stipulated … and announced they each deserved 2/5ths to my 1/5th.

The problem with that ideal you lay out at the end, is that it comes back to the point of basically lying when you say you care about LGBTQ+ people.

Sure, you do CARE....just not as much as you do for your guns. And lower taxes. Good to know ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BREATHING AND PAYING TAXES TOO are lower on your list…
