I also watched my younger brother play Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 for several hours before sadly walking away with the knowledge he seemed to be enjoying himself.

Growing up, we would do our family reunions at a rec center in a small Oklahoma town. They had a pool table, a basketball goal, and a Genesis with a copy of Shaq Fu. That was the first time I'd ever seen a Genesis, so I started playing it and didn't stop until that trash was over out of spite.

Agreed. More people need to play objectively terrible games like Resident Evil 4

Balogun is still the clear best striker, but I love seeing the Haji Wright nay-sayers on Reddit in absolute shambles

This is a very nice list of the four best games after the TGC game on Game Boy, aka the PokΓ©mon GOAT for true ball-knowers

Jared Goff and Ben Johnson wish they were this good at playcalling/selling

Unrelated, but I am in Davenport, and you like food, so you might know the answer. Do I need to try this Quad City Pizza, or am I being lied to?

Hit a neat milestone over the weekend. Hoping to also hit 2 million longform views by the end of the year, too, but it's gonna be tight!

No, the real reason the Wii U struggled is that they didn't call it the Wii Ni

Instructions unclear. I will now be referring to my favorite video game companies as "we."

I should care about Rikiya's change, but I'm just so glad to see my favorite Yakuza game and character getting some love

If you're a #okstate fan wanting to relive the good (and bad) times with Mike Gundy after today's news, I happened to post a 2-hour history of his tenure last week lol ( I will need to edit that thumbnail now that we have an end date) youtu.be/GLEZJnIV56Y

They're the only "lovable losers" I could mentally accept winning a title before the Vikings

Watching this Lions pass rush has me hoping the Vikings put Christian Darrisaw in a hyperbaric chamber to save him for November.

Why didn't JJ McCarthy simply tell the defense to score 21 points and force four turnovers for him? Is he stupid?

I just hope Justin Herbert wins a title before Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow to make my brother mad

If the Vikings had a left tackle, this would be 30-12 lol

Wild that they're asking fans to wear black to Gundy's coaching funeral
