People are going to be pissed when they find out the thing in Erin’s basement was the friends they made along the way.

I have a hard time understanding the Amazon-Seattle relationship. Seattle is by and large one of the most liberal cities in the country. And yet, they tolerate Bezos’ bullshit constantly. I know...they don’t want to piss him off and watch him pack up his shit and move somewhere else. But still...at some point, Seattle…

It was really cool how Seattle wanted to tax enormous businesses just a liiiiiiittle bit to help fix our shameful, soul-crushing homelessness epidemic and Amazon (read: Bezos) threw all their weight behind the opposition. So cool. I love having an enormous parasite in my hometown. Like a tapeworm, it helps keep us…

I think Bettmans success in expanding the game to the sunbelt has been understated when you look at all the great young players and prospects coming out of these regions. They may not have ever seen snow, but they go see a game live and get hooked on the sport.

He took a minute of self-aggrandizing to set up a barely self-deprecating punchline, to muted Canadian reactions. That’s kinda sorta a metaphor here, right?

I’m not really okay. I function because the one thing that never left me and keeps me going is a sense of humor (often gallows variety) that gets me through. But while >125 surgeries and hundreds of dermatological procedures have allowed me to look something like myself, internal injuries remain. I have only one…

I’m going to try to follow Katy Perry’s remarkable grace right now, though my thoughts about Trump’s evil and ignorant tweet are much darker.

The Winning Trick at the World Championships of Magic Might Fry Your Brain Like an Egg

I never had the patience to learn and memorize the routines required to pull off magic. A card magician may have hundreds of different card tricks, each of which require different decks, different setups, or different methods which have to be followed precisely as instructed, not to mention the ability to improvise if…

Nothing was really that good, except the part where he won the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF MAGIC. Stop hating things and enjoy life.

You are definitely not reading into that too much — CFO is one of the company’s top positions. And it’s a huge deal that Chris Metzen and Mike Morhaime (among others) have both left over the past couple of years. The question of how Activision’s culture impacts Blizzard is not a small one.

Moonlight actually beat La La Land so I’m hoping for the same thing

Fair.

Seriously, did you and your colleagues not consider that you were being put in an unfair position by your team organizations and the Press who demanded this access to you, during a moment any average person would consider one that demands privacy and safety?

The women reporters at the time all said they didn’t really want to be in there, just wanted to be able to do their jobs as well as their male peers. Unfortunately, nobody wanted to work to establish a compromise (wait 20 minutes to shower/change, separate interview area, etc.), and that’s where the sexism comes in.…

To me, Yakuza reminds me a lot of Shenmue but done right. You have 4 different fighting styles you can switch between and it has rpg lite elements like experience and gear.

Hell yes! The instant resume feature on modern consoles is a godsend. I can play for 30 minutes or so and not have to worry about reaching a stopping point or anything.

Another question Iris has been mulling this offseason: “How come the Sacramento Kings can’t do anything right?”

Iris > anyone on staff here, honestly
