Haha, you should have been in the morning meeting yesterday after a bunch of us tried the new one from Popeyes. We are obsessed. Read more

Big same, badbadallan! Read more

It’s a combination of reading a lot (especially outside games) and talking to lots of people. We love tipsters.... Read more

Fortnite. I thank the great llama in the sky every day that Riley’s been owning that beat. Read more

I am! Overwatch’s competitive mode has never been better. I wrote about that here. Sigma is really fun to play against. I’m tempted to say he’s overpowered, but we always say that about a new hero before we figure out their weaknesses. Read more

I always surround myself with anything I’d need for the next hour (coffee, Juul, water), put on some stoner metal or math rock and close all Chrome tabs excelt Thesaurus.com, research notes and an article draft. After an hour, I try to busy myself with a small cleaning task and then get back to it.  Read more

That is pink Read more

I love and respect that this was your first thought Read more

Before you actually me again, note that I specifically referred to to viewership during the Super Bowl and didn’t use the word “peaked.” Read more
