@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC @AndresCantorGOL This is a major surprise!

@SuperSisi Marathon (2026). It's got elements of arcade games. You have to put something at risk (gear in this case... quarters in the past) and your success is based on your skill. If it ever disappears, people are going to realize they missed out on an all-timer if they don't play it.

@jelynchjr He got hurt? It happens.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@UmpScorecards This is the kind of scorecard that looks great at first glance, but when you see the outcome of the game and watched it in real-time, it definitely cries out for ABS to make all the calls so there is no question whether a missed call impacted the game.

@dabirds2024 @CrossingBroad @Kevin_Kinkead I dunno man... the morning show is pretty awful too. Ritchie is the only sane person on there.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@CrossingBroad @Kevin_Kinkead Fair enough.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@CrossingBroad @Kevin_Kinkead ...not that it matters for the overall conversation as I think WIP ruins sports for average listeners.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@CrossingBroad Hey @Kevin_Kinkead Ritchie is a Cumberland Valley guy. Far as I know he was always a Philadelphia fan despite being from Mechanicsburg where allegiances can sometimes be to the Pittsburgh or Baltimore way...

@CrossingBroad Chipotle is wildly inconsistent. There's one in Reading I will never go to again because it was so bad. Stale chips. No peppers and onions. No brown rice right at lunchtime. I left the review and never returned. I've also been to a few where rice was treated like gold.

@tom_tartaglia @975TheFanatic Right handed power...

@shinobi602 Everyone should take note today that Microsoft killed id Software as we know it, one of the most storied studios in gaming history.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@shinobi602 Set your goals high enough and you'll never reach them so you can sell it all off when you don't.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@St1ka That's actually pretty easy to answer if he ever has LAN parties and has four Xboxes to play on. I have four as well, and four copies of Halo 2, and four Halo 3...

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@RAJr_20 @PhilliesJake Ruben, have you looked at the Phils record with Marchan behind the plate? I'm sure he's a great dude, but the W-L is pretty damning. I don't think he calls games well at all...

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@PhilliesJake @jessiebauer Look at who was catching the majority of the Phillies losses this season. The numbers don't lie.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@young_maxey @SportsRadioWIP Jesus. The receipts...

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@dark1x @Dauragon Plenty of great independent game stores in the US that are a treat to shop at. There's always at least one in any major metro area. Seek them out.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@TioSetsu @SEGAotaku Meanwhile, you can walk into any shop that sells used games right now and buy one at a discount over new.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@TioSetsu @SEGAotaku You're talking about years and something you don't even know if Nintendo will ever do with GCKs. They've only existed for a year. There's no reason to think a game on one will no longer be available any time soon or not ever.

[Dave Long @TheRealDaveLong]

@St1ka Haven't found one yet in my collection that goes back to the dawn of CDs. Music too.
