Nobody else has stepped up so far, so I guess I’ll downvote you to keep the streak going.

I got no horse in this race but if I can help someone feel better during the course of the day, it’s been a good day.

There are exceptions.

Mysteries and Mayhem (in my ass)

“Chew on”, in this case, is a figure of speech meaning “think about,” typically in a different light than previously afforded on the topic.

No one would actually eat an alot. Alots are intelligent and friendly.

Better call Bitch Pudding.

They say, in heaven, “butt plug Smurf.”

Lots of people are saying it. Good people, smart people.

This is genius. And revolting.

Bad things happen in WCW.

The original Orange Man, if you will.

Have they no shame?

Liberty Bell March intensifies

Not sure if that’s a dig at Dodge or New Jersey.

My condolences.

I’m a part of some really small communities (like single digit posts per month). Some of those posts are even mine. I wouldn’t say that’s MVP level, but…

But the fact people spend $60 on a skin in a game, for just one character or weapon, is absolutely fucking insane.

My nephew got very excited about the Transformers skins coming to Overwatch. I let him have his hype cycle (we are both Transformers fans), then asked him how much it cost. I told him he could buy an entire game for that much. Then, on his own, he started analyzing the pricing, and how buying 3 of the 4 on their own is more than buying the whole pack. Which segued nicely into how companies use price to steer people into buying specific things.

But he was still iffy until I told him that the same money could buy 2-3 HG Gundam kits. The next day he told me that he had bought an RG kit instead. Works for me.

All right, all right… smugly begins to remove sock puppet †

Watch your mouth, buddy.

I saw the Second Wind announcement on YT and thought, “Oh shit, this isn’t gonna be good.” And it’s not. That’s damning. Frost is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, eloquent, and insightful voices in the industry. I find it hard to believe that he’d walk out of what has been, on the surface, a smashing success (and a huge fuck-you to the corporate zombies that have taken over games media) without very good reason. And it’s ironic that the reason appears to be Nick, whose firing prompted the whole team to walk from Escapist in solidarity.
