Nothing about any of this sale seems good for fans. Just the people doing the business. It is going to be weird to watch the effects this has on EA’s game releases in the long run.
A little too evergreen

There are a few too many ongoing stories these days to which this could apply, don’t you think?

I hear the story is really, really good, but I can’t stop laughing at how silly strong Hinako seems to be.
Battle of two honkin’ chonkers
It’s the grand finale babes. 32 Chunk, armed with iron salmon chompers, faces off against 856, the unstoppable Brooks River powerhouse. The throne hangs in the balance, and only you can crown the ultimate Fat Bear Week champion 👑 pic.twitter.com/32nDTjgNsT

Fat Bear Week is almost over. Only two beefy beasties remain. Who will win?! (Go, Chunk!)

The athleticism and filming sleight of hand with which Buster Keaton, other actors, and the directors pulled off these stunts will never cease to impress me.

Ducks can be quite mean, so it’s very funny to me when they’re so ridiculously playful.
