Game On! - Manifest of a Changing Tide?

At least that's how this list from Kotaku makes me feel

I'm not saying this list of emotional wallet snaggers isn't effective, instead it turns out they're not effective on me. In fact, when I look at friends and family that are my generation, it doesn't grab them all the well either.  So does this list instead represent where the gaming audience is going/coming from, or is this more of a targeting ID for making the casual crowd that much more profitable?

K.I.S.S. - Tax On, Tax Off

As Seen On TV GamePolitics

My home state of Illinois is really improving it's percentage of unconstitutional laws lately.  At least something is showing a positive growth....

Totally Balls - Vote No On Pro Bowl? YES!

Deadspin saying it for the rest of humanity

The NFL is so progressive they finally realized no one cares about the Pro Bowl after having one for the past 50+ years/seasons - it's a bright sign that we may have this whole concussion thing figured out by 2042!

Poli Sigh - A Fine Idea

I think the headline is funny, but what do you think of this from Consumerist

I think I'll have more on this, especially some contradictions in the comments section that are oh-so-delicious.

Poli Sigh - A Political Army of One?

Saw this on Yahoo!

I feel as if this story is going to focused on solely as a constitutional rights issue, but the statements by soon to be ex-Marine Gary Stein don't add up.  Read for yourself and tell me what you think!

Totally Balls - New Cubs Curse?

A crazy man says Deadspin

I like stealing ideas as much as the next guy, but I like to make sure they're successful first!

Totally Balls - Rick 'Matter-of-Unfactly' Morrissey

That's how Rick Morrissey writes it in the Sunday Sun-Times opinion piece!

How do you carry an opinion on a wave while being as anti-journalism as possible, you ask?  Well Mr. Morrissey has the answer!  First, you lambast a public sports figure by fishing out only a portion of a quote so that the context isn't humorous as intended, but instead outright controversial in it's stripped format.  Then, you follow it up by providing 'smarter' words to said sports figure that congeal to form a thought that was not only never meant, but is completely off the topic of the original, untainted quote!

Congratulations Morrissey, that's the way to prove your points: Make them up!

For those of you who can read: here's the actual quote talked about at Mashable.

Poli Sigh - What's USPS's problem? Congress!

Via Consumerist

Okay, so that wasn't their exact words, but it might as well have been.  And if you read up on the craziness they have to put up with being a fringe governmental entity - they'd be correct!

Game On! - I Wish Game Players WERE Game Developers

Thanks for the heads up GP!

This warms the cockles of this one's heart.............................do hearts have cockles?

Game On! - I Wish Game Developers Weren't Game Developers

Because they blindly say things like this (Kotaku)

Game On! - Square Joke, Round Ear

Came across this snippet in Kotaku.

Sorry Square, this joke only further reminds me of the cash grab routine you're pulling with Final Fantasy rather than it's intended 'haha, I'm okay being wallet-raped now, kthnxbai!'.

K.I.S.S. - Worst Company in America now a shadow of it's former self?

Voting ended for Consumerist's annual anti-award show and Electronic Arts (a video game company) is considered by the voting populace to be a bigger negative than Bank of America (a bank).......

Is it just me, or is that ridiculous?
