  1. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/teacher-caught-video-kicking-5-year-old-could-face-criminal-n1000816 The teacher told the mother that the girl had hit her even though that's not shown in the video.
  2. Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Jerry Nadler, is threatening to hold Barr in contempt of Congress.
  3. Prosecutors drop charges against man arrested by Venice Police, Police Chief says it "could take weeks" before deciding to take up charges with the officers
  4. Everyone thinks they can do it except Gravel. It's so different when you're in the arena. It's easy for us to say, "wtf dude?" But one example I always remember: Bob Beckel has been on CNN and Fox as a political guest, and while he's not particularly insightful, there was one thing he said after Obama won Indiana/North Carolina in 08 against Hillary that stuck with me. He talked about managing Walter Mondale's 1984 campaign against Reagan. I'm paraphrasing, but in regards to Hillary not leaving the race when it was clear she had no chance of winning, he said something like, "I was Walter Mondale's campaign manager in a year where we lost 49 states except Minnesota; it was a landslide loss. On Election Night, I really thought if we had one more week, we could have won." It's just a different mindset. Sanders thought he could win in 2016 and actually was competitive in a bunch of states even if he never really threatened Hillary's lead.

  7. I've enjoyed the bike maintenance. There's nothing wrong with games where you can hijack another car or ride another animal, but this is an interesting, fun and different dynamic where this bike is yours. If you park it somewhere, you have to go back for it. You have to fuel it. You have to make it faster. Snipers may take it out while you're riding or try to trip you. Do you risk repairing your weapon with your remaining scraps or do you keep some just in case something happens to the bike? I enjoy that dynamic because the whole point of the world is that nowhere is safe.
  8. Begin watching to understand the memes. Continue watching because it's an extremely well-written show.
  9. Right, but I read about them on GameFAQs in a Boss FAQ and wtf'd at the fact that my version didn't have them. It took until this decade for me to finally fight them and even know what they look like.
  10. We need to play Rocket League with Kevin and Jeff so we can talk and have a crazy time. I fought all the Dark Aeons/Penance, and it was weird because I knew they existed since 02, but at that point there was no Youtube and search engines sucked, so I didn't know what the hell the battles were like or what they looked like. You're gonna want Tidus' ultimate weapon because him, Wakka and Rikku are essential, especially the latter aeons and Penance. I think I remember a few tips for Chocobo Racing because that thing required an enormous amount of luck but some tips to limit the amount of times you had to do it. I enjoy watching this guy fail at it because he complains about all hard games. This one his gripes are legitimate because the mini-game sucks, but watching him raise from the time I stamped to 8:00 makes me laugh until I choke to this day.
  11. I've been overwhelmingly suffocated by them since 2015 this gen. 2014 was kind of slow though some really good indies released.
  12. So I'm playing Days Gone right now and I'm like, "Wow, for a game that was built by 50 people for much of its development, this is really fun and the game is really damned involving considering the size of the team," and I think reviews underrated it, right? And now I'm hooked to the game and it's eating at my time. Then before this, I was playing Dead Cells, and I'm not a huge roguelite person, but I liked the look of the game and thought the gameplay looked fun. So I bought a physical version of it through Best Buy and fucking shit, the game had me HOOKED. At first, it was like a normal roguelite, but the game gives a great sense of progression with its permanent upgrades you can bank at the end of each stage. I have to believe other roguelites/likes, even ones I've played, have done this? But this just worked for me in a way the others didn't. I enjoyed Binding of Isaac and Rogue Legacy, for whatever reason I couldn't get into Spelunky at the time (but I may try it again since I still have it via PS+), but Dead Cells was a game that I defeated, realized there are extra levels/bosses and the true ending that you have to work at getting, and I fully plan on returning to it and sinking the hours into the game. Fucking great game, lots of content despite being made by a small indie team, and it's like fuck, my hours are gone. Before this, I played Yakuza Kiwami via PS+ and had a lot of fun, but Yakuza 0 was fucking awesome. I clocked 99 freaking hours into that damn thing, I'm sure 30 of which were on the Cabaret Club mini-game, and it's like FUCK, now I gotta play Yakuza Kiwami 2. Resident Evil 2 was a great game, a fantastic re-imagining of the original, Mr. X scared the shit out of me (THUMP THUMP THUMP) and fuck, I'll replay it just to replay it, fuck getting a plat, but that's more hours to spend playing. Astro Bot: Rescue Mission had a lowkey announcement but FUCK it's a fun fucking platformer and a great use of VR. I'm looking around up and down for secrets, Astro Bot is waving at me as he passes by, the stranded bots are so cute and sometimes they do funny shit while waiting to be rescued, SHIT. Fuck, I even really enjoyed Detroit: Become Human when I played it and liked the flow charts at the end of each chapter. If that's not bad enough, Shadow of the Colossus was a lovely remake of a classic game. God of War was a masterpiece in level design, gameplay and story. Some people here were down on RDR2, but I was gripped by it from beginning to end and holy shit, that one scene with the LYING and you know what that is if you played it but it's not a spoiler if you haven't, FUCK that was great. I was playing Sonic Mania and Mario Kart Switch with my nephews two months ago and FUCK, we were having fun getting chaos emeralds and racing around, and we played the Mario Kart on their 3DS and in one of them, you're jailing your opponents, or maybe it's both, and I was like fuck this is fun. In fact, fuck Miyamoto for 1-1 in the first Mario and doing a great job establishing the enemies and blocks in that first safe space in the game which then allowed you to get used to the games and controls and what the game is before proceeding to die before defeating the game and having to wait until you were in middle school to finally finish it and also for creating a game which had lasting impacts in the industry. FUCK
  13. With companies like Google trying to create cheaper cost-of-entry products, I think it would behoove them to do $399. It's a satisfying price point fo sho. I actually have memories of 2013 of people who thought, once some of the specs came out for the Quatro, figured it'd have to be $499, and then some doubled down on that after the Xbox One's price was revealed. I feel they have the money now after all the restructuring done at Sony to eat the costs if it's sold at a loss.

  15. CBS confirms: Barr denied knowing Mueller's stance on report summary two weeks after Mueller confronted him Just in time for the hearing!
  16. I think the Pro would have been a fine purchase for me, but I'm glad I held out because games like Horizon Zero Dawn look fabulous on a base PS4, and with the PS5 next year, I'm set for an upgrade there.
