Cameron Gidari's discussions

Cameron, I think you and I are debating the same point from different angles now. I've quite enjoyed this, thank you. Read more

Where are you buying them from specifically? I really wanted to go back and see every episode since I don't think I appreciated them enough as a kid, but I couldn't found a definitive collection through legal means. Read more

I think those points are fair. And I hope my tone hasn't come of as being inflammatory, I think this has been a perfectly reasonable and fair-spirited debate and I mean nothing but respect for traditional styles. Read more

I'd disagree on a couple of points... Read more

I grew up learning how to score games, so I payed attention to literally every pitch. I'm sure that conditioned me some. Read more

You broke my heart about seven different times in that paragraph. Read more

Did you play baseball growing up? I'm convinced that most people's ability to watch a baseball game without being bored is tied directly to them playing it growing up. I played up until college, and I love watching baseball. Read more

True, most martial artists will be able to defend themselves in a fight. The thing is though, the most important aspect of self defense is being able to control your assailent, not necessarily beating them up. Read more

I've seen and competed in lower level BJJ tournaments, and streamed Sambo and ADCC matches. They are so much fun to watch. Sambo in particular is crazy Read more

I've done MMA and jiu-jitsu for years, and you're echoing what a lot of those communities think about traditional martial arts. But while self-defense is important for any sport with the word martial in it, I think that we sometimes let that aspect cloud our appreciation for the discipline, body control, and focus… Read more

Wrestling is back in, FYI Read more

But you still have to play it with a PS controller. That alone is the biggest reason I wouldn't switch from Xbox to Playstation, I'd rather play 720p with an Xbox controller Read more

I've tried to snatch up WampaStompa for the same reason, but it's always taken. Looking for a way to vary it without just throwing random numbers into it Read more

It doesn't matter if he said could have or would have. The part of the sentence that matters is him prefacing it with 'I'd like to think...' Read more

In journalism school, we would have gotten a serious lecture for that kind of paraphrasing, especially because you're wrong in your paraphrasing. "I like to think I could..." and "I could..." are not the same thing, there is not the same spirit behind them, and choosing one that is clearly more inflammatory over what… Read more

Stuff like this is the reason I can't get into Pokemon. It's all very cool, but seems impossibly complex Read more

The way I look at gray-area cheating is simple - would I be pissed if my wife was doing it instead of me? If the answer is yes (and 99% of the time it is), don't do it. Read more

I disagree. It's a risk/ reward system, I'm sure the sword is plenty powerful on its own given its value. But if you're greedy enough to try and enchant it, you know the risk upfront. Read more

You know you can turn off notifications - including achievements - on your Xbox right? That way you don't have to see/ hear the popup in the middle of a cutscene you're immersed in. Read more
