Or you know, maybe publications would like to get reviews out as soon as possible so their readers can make informed decisions on the games they want to buy. I rarely buy a game anymore unless it has come recommended by friends I trust or from a website whose reviews I trust. In most cases if there is an embargo or…

I was lucky that when I was doing reviews for a weekly magazine (mostly comics, some video games), I rarely had to deal with embargoes.

Agreed. It was a good joke and definitely deserves to be stood by.

I was lucky enough early in my career to write for JJM and Comics and Games Retailer before it went under. His comichron website is the best place out there to find sales numbers as best as they can be gotten. His obsession with comics sales numbers is weird and awesome. And he’s a great writer to boot.

For some yes. I doubt this one though. A family member of mine chose his school (over bigger ones) because they guaranteed his four year scholarship even if he is injured. I was quite proud of him for that.

Yeah, I don’t care how “nice and personable” that guy is, he would not get my business. That is some shady shit.

The fact that they would say they are only for paying customers goes exactly against the spirit of why FCBD was created 15 years ago. That is a store I would not give my money to.

The one comic book store in my town is pretty terrible. I believe he only lets you take one. He does this so he can have a ton laying around throughout the year to still give to people. The problem is that I literally never see anyone else in there. He still has stacks of previous FCBD books from the past few years…

I wish we had that, sadly this was in 2002 so it was only a VCR hooked up to the TV recording the gameplay.

My roommate in college spent six months trying to beat Castlevania without getting hit. When he finally did it, he was a broken man for like a week. I will always remember the night he finally did it when my gf and I were awoken by a smash and him screaming at the top of his lungs. I thought he was dying. Nope, he had…

Not that I like seeing this asshole get any sort of press, but his name is spelled Luckey not Lucky. Can we shoot him into the sun now?

Yeah my ex-wife and I stopped having sex after year one (we are both at fault) and were divorced by year three. Interestingly enough we get along way better now that we are divorced than we ever did when we were together. We game every day and text back and forth all the time and are great friends.

I’m not gonna reply to him because fuck him, but he sounds like pretty much every character in power in “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Same here. Dropping the Bears from my life was the best sports move I have ever made.

God the world would be such a better place without Mike Milbury in it.

That sucks! They actually delivered mine a day early. I have had it preordered for months. Not sure if that matters. Hope it get started there soon!

I had to take one for a job as a police dispatcher. I passed, but as someone with terrible anxiety, that fucking test put me through the ringer. I was completely honest about past drug use (the main thing they were looking for) and I was still sweating bullets and he had to re-ask me questions a few times because I…

I wish I could star this 1,000 times.

Back in my college years and later, ESPN was my go to channel to just have on in the background when I was doing other shit (reading, cleaning, etc.) on top of watching SC every morning or night. It was literally on probably 12 hours a day at my place. Now, if I do watch ESPN it is only if there is a specific team I…

When my cousin’s son was being recruited (3 star, so nothing huge) there was a local reporter who got weirdly too close to the family for my liking. He was at family events and weird shit like that. He seemed nice enough but I still found it really weird. This kid wasn’t an NFL prospect, he had offers from maybe 20…
