This is what happened to us when we bought a car through Ford’s A Plan. I was a little surprised, but it makes sense considering there’s exactly no negotiation. The price is the price, and I can look online and see the price (down to the incentives, which I also get) before I even go in.

Yeah, what Michael does hasn’t been acceptable for a long time, but was still “acceptable” as a source of comedy at the time. Sexual harassment in the workplace has been illegal for some time, but it was still apparently good pickins’ for comedy (and still is, just not as overtly as it used to be). Same with gay jokes.

Code Vein has an incredible cosmetic character creation system.  I have no idea of the quality of the rest of the game, but the level of customization it has is pretty nuts.

Michael is an asshole, that’s kind of the point. He’s based on a character played originally by Ricky Gervais, who is an asshole and makes all of his characters assholes as well, presumably so he doesn’t have to work too hard between bouts of being an asshole.

Yes. Yes it is wrong.

His speaking tour was great. I saw him twice around 10 years ago, and loved it. At one of the Q&A’s, there was a young kid, maybe 11, who got up to ask a question. Smith genuinely seemed taken aback by somebody being that young, and riffed on it for a couple minutes (why are you here, where are your parents, do you…

Because they can censor/not sell the pro-LGBTQ stuff in all the backwards shitholes that are offended by it, while getting brownie points for the cynical gesture everywhere else.

While I think them cancelling Blizzcon would be hilarious, it would be yet another PR disaster for them. People plan trips that are very expensive around this, they’ve sold streaming “tickets”, they’ve probably spent a lot of money to get it ready, etc.

Yeah, Goldy’s season, while not terrible, was disappointing by his normal standards. They probably traded for and signed him assuming they were getting one of the best hitters in the NL, instead they got a 2.something WAR guy, which is pretty much the peak of this starting lineup.

All that does is turn eridium, which is mostly useless, into money - which is very useful until you have all the SDU’s, at which point it becomes wholly useless.

I don’t want another game with an unnecessary and hackneyed crafting system that just lengthens the grind. Random drops are fine, thanks.  I already spend enough time filtering through loot (less now that I’m looking for very specific gear), I don’t want to spend even more fucking with a crafting system.

It’ll probably be the offense as a whole, probably some management. They scored 32 runs in 9 games... not bad! But if you remove game 5 of the NLCS, they only scored 19 runs across the remaining 8 games, and in 5 of those games they scored 1 or 0 runs.

It’s postseason, anything can happen.

St. Louis failed to properly support two different NFL franchises,

The Cardinals absolutely deserve to get swept in this series.  This has been shameful.  I feel bad for the pitchers, who have generally been pitching gems, only to have their work absolutely squandered by players who supposedly play this game professionally.

At best, he has looked like a serviceable outfielder. At worst he does stupid shit like that and jumping on the wall for a ball thats 10' away from the wall. The whole time he’s played for the Cardinals, he’s looked like somebody who just learned to throw is trying to hit a cutoff man.

I mean, lets not lie here, Blizzard is one of the finest developers in the west who make record breaking games.

It was already probably going to be a shitshow, even without the recent incident.

I honestly feel like this is going to get in the way of any potentially exciting announcements

That’s fair for sure, and a perfectly valid thing to do. I just think the intersect of people who can’t (or won’t) afford relatively inexpensive HDD storage but are worried about running out of space for these huge AAA games is pretty small.
