@InsideOKST Is that the same bar/location as the Dugout / Washington Street Grill (talking to the olds out there)?

@gif_tannen He wasn’t the first preacher to do that at OSU. There was a guy in the late 80’s too…he would repeat a word like “sin,” or “mas-tur-BAY-shun” and then ask: “why did I say it twice?…for (everyone watching joins in) DOUBLE EMPHASIS!”

I assume most gamers have a backlog. Mine is comically large (I openly blame my children). Hell, I have games that "I'll get to" from previous console cycles. Yes, I know that sounds like, "I've got underwear older than you, kid."

Ok...so this is obviously unfortunate for all involved, and you have to face-palm-chuckle at the idea of turning in a critical doc in a $69BB case with see-through redactions.

I don't buy many discs these days...codes and digital downloads have won the war in the Young house. That said...I miss the boxes...the trophies.

If you work in the #GamesIndustry long enough, you're gonna create a few memories. Today, I'm going to share one of mine: the time that I conceived and produced a series of silly video ads for a mobile #RTS game.

Set those alarms, Left Coasters...Nintendo Direct is booting up at 7am tomorrow!
