    The Mario Galaxy games are badass. Skyward Sword is a huge disappointment. Easily the worst Zelda in a long time. I even liked Majora's Mask more.

    Wasn't last year a season record in ACL tears? And this season in MLB has been a season record in Tommy John surgeries? WTF.

    People would treat the word "American Inventor" very differently in America if only 10% of black people gave a shit. That's a terrible point, Sutekh. You're better than that.

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    NFL is pretty fucking strategic. Sure, it doesn't take a long time to develop a play, but there is a shitload going on in every play. It's not just random chaos with dudes running into each other. I think MLS is getting more popular. They certainly don't seem to have a problem selling...

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    If the greatest athletes in the US focused on soccer we would be dominant. If Mike Trout, LeBron James, Calvin Johnson, or any of the great RBs in the NFL spent all their time on soccer instead of other American sports? C'mon, man.

    I think some people are just frustrated with the American PC movement. Sure, it could be the wrong issue to be taking a stance on, but the NFL is really popular and it's a very visible issue. I know American PC shit pisses me the fuck off. It's a lot of white dudes telling everyone else...

    Californication

    I treat the series like it ended after season four. I forget when I stopped watching. Maybe a few episodes into season six? Honestly, this would have been amazing if they left it alone after the first season.

    Asking for a Raise

    This is just confirming my thoughts. Update on my situation: I've been waiting a little to show I can handle the workload. I had a meeting with my boss last week and the raise discussion was a disappointing one. I just got future "promises" of being in charge of our team in the west coast...

    Just watched the pilot. Will definitely be tuning in this week. The main character is really enjoyable and, as others have said, it's not a typical setting for a TV show.

    I'm loving it. Been at every Reds game so far this series in SF and I'm going tonight and tomorrow too. Reds SP has been boss so far. Leake and Cueto coming up big time. And Simon on the mound tonight - who has like, one loss on the road this season. The NL Central is surprising me. The...

    Yeah, In-N-Out fries are disappointing. They're much better if you ask for them well done. But the burgers are really good. And, as Elurin said, really cheap. Double double with grilled onions and chopped chiles. So damn good. I don't get it often (I think the In-N-Out in SF is the worst...

    I'm pretty sure you have to get 1st in every race to three star. If not, then I'm an idiot because I've three star'ed every 150cc Cup except for one. That was a whole lot of restarting. Still need to start Mirror, but I'm loving online play too much.

    That sandwich was pretty damn good. It would always make me feel like ass though. Had Taco Bell trip #2 last night. I flaked on the quesarito. I get stage fright looking at the menu it's so large. Went for the shredded chicken burrito. Wasn't too shabby.

    I don't have a car. It's not easy to make a trip up north without one. There's a campground only a couple miles away that we stayed at, but I'd like to get a hotel nearby and just drink away.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    You're the one off topic here, Column. George Lucas doesn't have much to do with this film. And those other Lucas movies especially have nothing to do with this. Calling it "Bridge" is an extreme jump in nickname for a movie. It's silly to assume everyone should make that connection...

    No, that needs to be cleared for those who break down and can get out of the way or to give emergency response vehicles a clear path. Motorcyclists literally do nothing to harm you when they split lanes like that. Except for fueling your apparent out of control road rage I guess.

    I never go to Taco Bell and always disliked it. But I had only been there once in the past 15 years. I went there on Tuesday because it's only that, KFC, and Long John Silver as options by the practice space for this new crew I'm playing with. None sounded particularly appealing. I got some...

    Really quality BBQ places have been popping up in SF and Oakland lately. I've been really enjoying them. Went to a place yesterday with the most delicious vinegar-based BBQ I've ever had. I usually don't even like that style, but I couldn't stop dipping my bread in the stuff.
