Wait, you mean they’ll release a new NBA game next year? Just like they do every year? Amazing.

Yes please! It’s a brilliant game and I will happily buy an updated version.

Yes, I’d love that.

Well damn. I loved the original trilogy and I have been saying for ages that I want a remake using modern game design and technology. But based on that website and trailer, I don’t think I’m getting what I wanted. Marathon had a multiplayer mode, yes, but the core was a single player story that made you feel like you were all alone in the world. This looks like not that.

As someone who has lived in three different boroughs in NYC, I am so thrilled by this. I loved the NYC of the first one but didn’t like that it was just Manhattan, when comics Spider-Man lives in Queens and sometimes goes to Brooklyn. Great decision to expand it.

This all makes sense to me. A big part of the reason I canceled my cable subscription way back in the day was that I knew I was paying a lot for ESPN, even though I never watched it, and they wouldn’t offer me a package that didn’t include it.

I occasionally take the bus from NYC to a town in the Finger Lakes, and this is so true. I have been through so many towns that check off every one of these boxes.
