You may have just found out about it, but it’s not really new news, they reported on it four days ago when the information came out, and it’s not that big a deal it needs to be kept on the front page for four days.

Hi I am King of naughty dog and your comment has shown me the error of my ways.

And everyone who now comes and says “That’s how the gaming industry works, you can’t do it any other way” and the other usual bullshit, please be reminded of this study published last year in The Lancet

Good, gooooooood....

The opening—as in the first sequence?

Explaining it fully would ruin the big reveal of the central narrative, so let’s leave it at this:

The protagonist (Tidus—he of the awful laugh and stereotypical millennial whininess) is a bigshot Blitzball player (think of it as water polo, underwater). His life is interrupted when…

I liked the Winston one. I’m also glad Akward Zombie is still doing MGS gags. :)

Life is dark, Ethan.

I’m 33 and I got them all. Maybe you just have a life?

What does sad goose stepping look like?

I will never understand racist white people’s obsession with Chicago.

As a resident of the west side of Chicago, I was particularly infuriated by his using our city as an “example.” We hate his gross building. We in the “inner city”-- which, fuck you very much-- don’t think the solution to crime, let alone long-held racism and cronyism, is any of the shit he thinks will “fix” our …

Which I have totally employed... which is totally like housing discrimination. Which totally happened. But, you know, lawyers like Barack! And we totally just settled on that…

They are bolstering their internal social connections through otherwise unacceptable social behavior.

Yeah. Among friends, competition can be immensely cathartic. Among friends who play fighting games, gloating and checking each other is a way to get excited about competition, make the stakes higher. It’s performative. Good friends often poke fun at each other as a demonstration of love and understanding, and that…

It doesn’t have to be a part of it, but it *is* part of it. When male (and even female) players shit-talk one another, the language is remarkably gendered: competitors are called pussies, winning is often referred to as raping another player, and any number of comments are made about the sexual behavior of…

I can not tell you how much Temecula’s stock just went up in my mind that it doesn’t have a Whole Foods.

Repeated pummeling is not an even approaching reasonable force for retaliating against someone throwing pie in the face of a public official.

Now, getting to the cops to administer a beating would be a whole ‘nother matter, if not downright American.

More than kind of, but: I think the piece makes the context pretty clear, if accurately reported. Pie was thrown. Then words were spoken. Then Johnson started throwing punches. For the most part neither getting pied nor getting verbally assaulted are considered justifications for starting a fist-fight, and if the…
