New video! It's a look back at all the stakes and drama surrounding The 10 Best Sets In Smash Ultimate History. I am a historian before I am a hater, so I make it the whole hour whilst only complaining about the game twice. Congratulate me by watching!!

“This guy just doesn’t seem to care about money. All he wants to do is make art,” said Visual Concepts CFO Paul Robinson. “I keep asking him about how low we should set the odds for the highest rated player in the new pack and he just keeps saying ‘leave me the fuck alone, I’m watching One Battle After Another.’ How am I supposed to get any work done in this environment?”

how do we stop sports piracy? By making it required to have two streaming services plus cable, hundreds of dollars a month, to watch games.

and don't get me started on if you wanna snag League Pass to watch everything else!

a fun thing you can do when you run a website is fix up the hate comments a little bit
