Downgrade Links

Explaining the FIFA corruption arrests. I'm sure you've already seen the news this morning but if you have any questions regarding the FIFA arrests this is as good as any place to start. I'm amazed we actually got to this point, I mean I'm not amazed that FIFA is this corrupt everyone knew that. The amazing part is that finally someone has done something about it.

Of course the flip side of this is that the USMNT is doomed. We'll probably miss the next eight World Cups.

Nick, The Cubs Threw Out Your Grandma’s Personalized Brick. Back in 2006 the Cubs did this thing a lot of business or public works projects do when they're looking at raising funds. They sold bricks with your or your families name on them to use in the construction of the ball park. What did they do with those Bricks when it came time to renovate the stadium again? They threw them in the dump.

The 5 Best Book Characters That Game of Thrones Has Left Out. This is a pretty good list, Stong Belwas is the obvious number one but Coldhands and Patchface are nice inclusions too. Man, sucks thinking that we'll never learn more about Patchface. Him and Hodor seem like characters that have these big important secrets but they'll probably never amount to anything. Why answer the unanswered when you can write 30 chapters of Tyrion farting around the Free Cities.

The Witcher 3 Downgrade Controversy Sucks. Yes it does suck. There's two big things going on with The Witcher 3. The final product doesn't look like all the trailers the nerds have been salivating over AND it seems to have been nerfed on the PC. I'm afraid this is going to become more and more of a trend. Developers are trying to cast the widest net not make he prettiest games. That means developing for consoles first and PCs second. It also means protecting console sales. Until consoles are a minority share of the gaming market that's just how it's going to be.

Retro Handhelds Throughout History. Just a bunch of pictures of retro handhelds. I've played a shockingly low number of these.

Not shown, but I had a Pac Man watch. Can't remember the exact year, late elementary school, maybe? All I remember is it was huge on my wrist and the joystick hurt my thumb.
