Damn, I'd forgotten how satisfying the latest Doom is. Wonder if I should pick up Wolfenstein: The New Order since it's on sale. I'm assuming they have a similar feel?

It all but means Millsap's gone either in FA or a sign-and-trade, but Collins may be a sneaky good, we-have-Al-Horford-2.0 pick. Cripes, I at least hope so.

That tells me they already have a deal in place for Tatum.

Spurs may be moving into the top ten of the Draft by dealing LaMarus Aldridge.

Hawks are attempting to sign-and-trade Millsap. What I want to see happen: Millsap is traded to Indiana for Paul George, as the Hawks get a marquee player with an expiring contract. Kent Bazemore is then shipped to [place] in exchange for [player's name] signature bobble-head. What will happen: Millsap takes the money, Atlanta trades him for two or three expiring contracts. Bazemore is ultimately offloaded for a second-rounder as a means of cementing Budenholzer as the modern day Paul Heyman of NBA coaches.

I suspect it'll dip back down to $40 with the DLC getting maybe 10-15%. Even as a more causal Civ player, the base game at $40 has given me more than my money's worth of enjoyment.

EXCELLENT SMITHERS Er, exxxxxxcellent, Smithers.

Rats. No price just yet on Steam's side. I've got just over $20 squirreled away for this. Hopefully one of my other wishlist games doesn't get some stupidly good discount during the Steam Summer Sale.

On the one hand, Dwight Howard is paid because of his name and his ability to clean glass well. You don't average a double-double as a big if you're not part-Windex. On the other, let's get this rebuild going. Maybe flip a lot of those picks for Boogie, maybe build through the draft (the most likely scenario, given our new GM's pedigree)...either way, let's see what these Hawks look like in two to three years.

Though not split-screen, Battleblock Theater has you sharing the same screen with some co-op action. The dialogue on that game got several chuckles out of me.

If you haven't tried Wooly World, do give it a shout. Adorably cute and some difficult-without-being-frustrating platform action.

I suspect this will be the next system we buy. Mario Kart, Snipperclips, Zelda, and Yoshi are all either on the wife or my's wishlist.

Damn fun interview. The Quake interview has been solid as well.

Retro Studios is not the team behind MP4.

As for the Jaaaaaaaaag, I'd start with 11s and see how it fares. It's the cheapest possible solution and can fatten up the tone if you want. Last time I ran into this, I tried out some Skinny Top/Heavy Bottoms and those worked well. Could even cheat and just use the tiniest bit of Loctite/Gorilla Glue to create a smoother surface where the string meets the saddle. For reference, you run into pretty much the same thing with a Mustang bridge depending on what quality it is. I'm always a fan of leaving the stock stuff on until the wheels fall off. Those buzzstop things are garbage, btw. Talked a few customers out of those due to seeing too many completely break after a week. Fun facts: good rule of thumb is that 1w tube power = ~3w solid state. Since yours is a Reissue, you also won't have to worry about 'biasing' your tubes; amp should do that by itself. Finally: don't worry about particular tubes. Fender uses Groove Tubes, which are made in the same factory as a lot of Ruby and Peavey tubes. Unless you're trying to locate The Hipster Holy Grail of tubes, just buy some Peaveys when you need to (cheapest while still having the same materials).

What really irks me is that she has similar moves to both Christie and (original) Raven, but it's that stinking Left Twist that can stun you just long enough to set up so much freaking nonsense. Fortunately, combo damage seems to be relaxed a bit.

King feels a bit sluggish, but if I can land the first kick, it's usually ballgame. Claudio feels like one of those characters to just chase someone down with, similar to Kazuya in some regards. Thought I was going to stick with Shaheen, but that's gone cold. Short Girl, meanwhile, is allllll about some Lucky Chloe. Always with the dancers...

I thought I noticed Benji throwing down on Tekken last night! Shortradamous, though I don't have PS+ anymore. Best Rage Art = Kuma and I'll hear no arguments otherwise.

LNK smashes me due to every single one of my batters going into a slump. This season reeks of a middle-of-the-pack finish.

Gameplay doesn't get as cute as Rocket League with the wallrides/flips/etc., but it does have a sportier feel than your typical FPS.

I'm not that clever.

Just gonna throw out that Robot Roller Derby Disco Dodgeball is a damn fun online multiplayer game.

I'm not a player. I just work a lot.

Oh, you know how I am with catchers. Baseball players, too.
