Yeah, I meant to say Tampa Bay area but fucked up. I never lived in Tampa proper but lived in Clearwater and Dunedin (a beautiful city by the way if it was anywhere else). Local businesses will say Bay Area when talking about their locations and junk but it isn’t used a ton and is obviously the lesser known Bay Area…

Not a single thing in my life ever made me happier than leaving the Bay Area. I still have to visit there a few times a year because my sister and her kids are there and because of that my parents bought a condo there. However, the visit is much better now that I get to fly home to a place that is not full or drunk,…

Just got mine at a GS here in WI. There were two people ahead of me in line for it and we all got one. I’m happy now.

I get what you are saying and in my ten years are GS (managing 9 different stores in 2 different states) I had some shady as hell DMs and RMs, but the PnL loss on just moving those to used doesn’t make doing that profitable. That was a game that Nintendo made available new for a month (tops). After that you were on…

It’s not true. I worked at GS then. At least not at the store level. Where I worked in FL, the used Prime trilogies were always shipped from corporate. From my memory we didn’t start getting those until a few months after launch. GS does have a policy for certain games that after they go out of print new they are…

Hats off to IGN dead for pointing this out this morning and then bragging about preordering 5 for “buddies around the office.”

Javy even makes striking out swinging on three straight breaking balls over and over look cool.

Reminds me of a guy I went to middle school with whose cousin fell in love with Dahmer when he was in prison. They would write back and forth all the time and I believe actually got engaged before he was murdered. She was on Sally Jesse Raphael for it and he was so embarrassed. I think the family disowned her.

I flipped that flag off every time I drove past it when I lived down there. Fucking disgrace.

Alcohol and tobacco ruined my motor years ago, sorry.

Whew, I only got 7, do I still make the team?

For $40 it’s a no-brainer for me.

I never had an issue with this when I worked in magazines (I wrote for a national magazine so I would have been fired instantly if I even joked about a placeholder like this), but I fucked up big time in my high school job.

Yeah my teacher in my sports journalism class showed us this in 2001 or so. Never knew the whole story behind it. Great article!

This person has been all over kinja posting this same strawman bullshit all day.

Just a typo on my part. The tattoo doesn’t actually say it, it’s just the picture of the fish. Good catch.

Tried it, enjoyed it but sucked at it. It is like Overwatch for me. I get the appeal but I am fucking terrible at it and the team-based nature of it means that every time I play it, I feel terrible for holding other people down. At least when I play MK8 online, I am the only one paying the price when I come in 10th.

My issue is I don’t really do multiplayer. I am terrible at it. I tried Splatoon 2 and as fun as it was, I was terrible at it so I couldn’t justify $60 for it. Isn’t ARMS primarily a MP game too? I tend to avoid primarily multiplayer games except for MMOs.

Movie prop story! I used to work in the comic book division of an auction house. They had just started a Hollywood memorabilia division and the guy who ran it is the guy that played Lisa Simpsons’s sax on the show. I have a Simpsons tattoo (Fighting Hellfish) so we got along great (he gave me an autographed script).…
