Or maybe glowy light orbs are just the final stage of dinosaur evolution. Dinosaur —> bird or crocodile or whatever —> reptilian politician [citation needed] —> futuristic glowy light orb. Seems straightforward enough to me Read more

Between this, Diablo, and Hearthstone, Blizzard has become frighteningly good at loot container opening porn. Their next game will probably be called Open These Sweet-Ass Boxes, and I will spend several thousand dollars on it. Read more

That’s all they’ve been trying to do the whole time: hug people and compliment their tits. IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY Read more

I don’t know, but if each and every person reading this is not making an XCOM squad of Cowboy Bebop characters right now, I’m going to be very, very disappointed. Read more

I fondly remember being utterly absorbed by Sacred Stones’ extremely long epilogue (I didn’t let a single character die) during a childhood family holiday dinner. I’m that kind of Read more

So I beat the boss after a few tries (it was tough, but not impossible), and I’ve tackled a couple other bosses since then. Some more thoughts: Read more

For sure! Both Cruz and Dillashaw have been knocked off balance and clocked *hard* a couple times because of the way they move. Neither lost as a result of said clock cleanings, but it’s a definite downside of the style. It’s tempting to look at what they do as superior to other striking styles, but it’s not Read more

Also, Cruz’s crutch fake-out at the fight week open workouts was hilarious: Read more
