Y'know, if you really think about it, it's kinda impressive humanity made it *this* far.

Good work, humanity!

I'm a big fan of music videos as an art form.

But, they're usually unoriginal. We've all seen a million "band plays in warehouse + camera swoops around" videos. Maybe a green screen is thrown in to spice it up.

Cheap n' easy.

But when there's a good concept, they're *great*. An ongoing list:

Good morning to all the real-life human beings out there in the sea of pixels, still managing to tread water among the bots and scammers. Happy Monday!

In the Sumo Wrestling competition of World Games (NES), if you can perform a backwards throw at the farthest possible boundary point, you can throw the other character so far out of the ring that their head actually wraps around to the other side of the screen and it looks like you decapitated them.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

That knee lift is maybe the best-feeling attack in brawler history. The sound effect alone gives me an little hit of dopamine.
Most satisfying counter attack ever? Double Dragon II (NES) hyper-knee attack, Bimmy Lee

I still think Double Dragon II: The Revenge (NES) has some of the most satisfying combat in a video game, ever.

One of my all-time faves. What a classic beat-'em-up.

When you hit someone, you HIT them. Good times.

I can do better.

Good morning!

For CNN I'm looking to talk to young men (feel free to interpret "young" broadly) who are actively sports betting sober—as in, you made a conscious decision to abstain for your wellbeing or you quit gambling—but are still sports fans. If that's you: Hannah[dot]keyser[at]cnn[dot]com
