Given the benefit of hindsight, it’s obviously the NeoGeo and the choice isn’t close. At the time? I’d probably still go with a NeoGeo, but between “shiny new console” and $200+ cartridges, it’s a tougher choice.

This is an actual brand of beer you could buy. The first time I saw it at a liquor store, I thought maybe someone had shot a movie or TV show there and forgot to clean up their props afterwards. Turns out no, it’s just some shitty cheap beer.

There’s almost certainly a pub near you showing it. Put the $50 towards wings and pints and enjoy a night out, but be careful of MMA bros.

I’ve considered it but between the cost, the painful recovery, the downtime, and the need for physiotherapy (and all of this assuming everything goes according to plan!), it never got past the idle thought stage. But then, I’m (just barely) closer to 6 feet than 5. If I were a bit shorter, those few extra inches might…

PSV won and United lost. Have a nice afterlife.

None of the important people involved in making these games is at Square anymore. The same company made the originals and the remakes, not the same people.

I have a ton of horror stories like these from my tech support days. Hands tied by company policy and dealing with people going from zero to death threat in 3.7 seconds. I still remember the point where I completely checked out and just started hanging up on anyone who raised their voice at me. I put my two weeks…

This joke would be better if Calgary wasn’t in Alberta.

Forget VR. I would kill to have Psychonauts on Vita. (Brutal Legend, too.) That could raise a few bucks for Psychonauts 2, Tim...

I took one look at that picture and thought the mascot was a caricature of either a prospect or a gunslinger, and that was before reading the article. Reading it, it seems like the conclusion was obvious. It kind of confused me that anyone would consider this mascot racist, aside from white people using it as an…

People get weird about watching leagues other than the top tier of a given sport. I watch a fair amount of second-tier/AAA/whatever sports and am usually entertained, especially live. And it’s tough to take someone’s comments about watching “only the best in the world” seriously when they’re talking about the Browns…

Americans need to learn how to make trophies from Canadians and Europeans. If you can’t (hypothetically) drink the blood of your fallen enemies from the trophy, then you might as well just hand out actual garbage to the winners.

Just imagine. If Harvard would have had a proper regulation sized rugby field, you’d be playing under these rules too.

You’d be surprised how rarely anything like that happens.

My wife brines turkey before roasting it and even the white meat is succulent and flavourful. Fucking great stuff. But her dad covers it in bacon and throws it on the grill and it is seriously among the best food I’ve ever eaten. Fuck anyone who hates turkey. After the president pardons a bird, one of those assholes…

He claimed the studio messed up his script a ton and was unhappy with the result, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt there. Robocop 2 and 3 were reasons he stayed away from Hollywood until Sin City. A few years ago though, they released his supposed actual script in comic form, and it was even worse than the…

True, but his legacy is also not unimpeachable, and when his name is attached to new work, you have to admit Holy Terror and All-Star Batman and Robin are not non-factors when deciding whether or not to check it out.

Yes, but when saying Frank Miller is overhyped, it by definition includes his worst work as well as his best. It’s a different statement than “his run on Daredevil is overhyped” or “Sin City is overhyped”. Saying “M. Night Shyamalan is overrated” doesn’t mean Unbreakable wasn’t great, it means his overall body of work…

To summarize, the actual distinction being made here is the difference between “Frank Miller has written some of the greatest comics of all time” and “Frank Miller is one of the best comics writers of all time”. It’s the difference between saying “The Dark Knight Returns is overhyped” and “Frank Miller is overhyped”.…

Maybe you should take some time to read my actual post and not just make up what you want to respond to. At no point did I say anything about invalidating any work. If Spielberg had spent the last 20 years making nothing but AI-quality movies or worse, yes, I would have no problem calling Spielberg overhyped at this…
