The #1 thing to change in the NBA over the past 5 years is teams focusing more on 3-pointers. Every kid playing basketball video games since the 90s has known that attempting 3s is better than attempting 2s, unless it's a dunk or layup. How the hell did it take so long for NBA teams to figure out that a 19-footer with…

Analytics is the current thing in sports because it's so universal and, bafflingly, ignored by most up until very recently (hey, Byron Scott!). But the real trick is to find an advantage, keep that advantage quiet, and exploit it as long as possible.

She's demanding that certain types of artistic expression shouldn't exist. That's toxic. The idea that she's being criticized just because she's a woman is asinine. If this were a male politician on a crusade to get violent video games banned, they would get the exact same reaction. See: any heated political argument…

My problem comes with the fact that she's listing examples, criticizing them, and demanding they change. She's not saying there should be a game like Team Fortress 2 that's gender-balanced or all female, she's saying the all male Team Fortress 2 is sexist and therefore shouldn't exist.

I honestly don't understand how she gets audiences like this. She's a tourist demanding change in a foreign culture so she can feel good about herself when she goes home.

It really is a weird message.

Lost in all the Gamergate drama is just how insufferable Sarkeesian is. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the belief that women are under or misrepresented in gaming. Her solution seems to be either altering what exists, or reducing what exists, when the sensible solution is the complete opposite: more developers…

I wholly agree with this statement. This is doubly true for open air stadiums in cold climates.

Quake is a fantastic game and it's truly disappointing that there are no longer games like it. Even Quake Live has gotten watered down to try to encourage new players to stick around.

Mark Brendanawicz should absolutely be last. Everything else is debatable.

Jerome Kersey was always such a likeable guy. I was at the Blazers game this year in a suite where he came and spoke beforehand. The part that stood out was afterward, when he was joking around with some of the rank and file employees of the arena. Dude oozed charisma. He will be missed.

As a gamer, DLC is annoying, but I can't bring myself to fully hate it for two reasons. The ones laid out in this article, and the fact that the real prices of video games have been constantly going down since their peak on SNES.

My standard Chipotle order is a huge meal and, according to their website, 600 calories.

Are they hoping that, by seeing a logo, a potential abuser will decide to change his ways?

I would agree with that. I think what they're expecting, and what is likely to happen even with the one LBGTQ rule, is for a couple of teams to pick up a ringer that decides to call themselves trans specifically for the tournament. (As English-speakers, I think we're a lot more sensitive to the specific wording, which…

Probably. The risk that they then run is that an all-male LoL team claiming to be trans wins the tournament.

The organizers are trying to prevent male competitors from claiming to be trans for the tournament. Biological gender may not confer a direct advantage, but competitive LoL is dominated by male players. It's not out of the realm of possibility that a less than honorable competitor would simply check the "female" box…

I think it's because the most common runs non-tool assisted runs where the runner uses any means available to get through the game as quickly as possible, like in the video above.

Or, if you were paying attention, the analogy would be that there are two types of boxing, one where boxers use standard gloves and one where they use gloves filled with sand. The one people are more interested in will get more coverage, but if you have a preference for the other one, no one is preventing you from…
