Millenial here... I did not watch this year’s Olympics religiously, but when I did, it was via BBC and a VPN chromecasted to my TV. Most of the people I know who watched it did the same thing.

If they’re going to shove a shitload of advertisements and product placement down my throat then yes, they damn well better not be charging me for it too.
But they are, and they would be, so, I didn’t watch any of it. At all.

it’s hilarious how they “blame” millennials.

My son has a peanut allergy and has to keep an epi-pen with him at all times. These are really expensive life preservers.

I think you’re right, but cities skyline is missing kind of the cheeky humor I loved in sim city. Which... On one hand, it’s prob unfair to expect skyline to replicate sim city 100%... But that doesn't change the fact that skyline is kind of a clinical experience.

To your pancreas, every Happy Meal is a Suicide Squad Happy Meal.

I remember CDProjekt coming out and explaining why their trailers looked different to the finished game. But then CDProjekt should be put on a pedestal as a testament to how games should be done.

The Rio pool crew is reading this and is like, “Hey, just be glad the water’s not fucking green.”

That EVE book looks great! I’ll put it on my list.

Under our new Univision overlords, the thing being exclaimed ¡MUST BE BRACKETED AT THE BEGINNING!

This is what you get for not banning the entire Russian delegation, IOC. Learn the lesson and get it right in 2020.
