The SNES Classic Looks Worthy Of The Coming Christmas Hype
…I didn’t fall too hard down the rabbit hole last Christmas, when everyone was going crazy for the NES Classic. I was more of a Super Nintendo kid, so that hype didn’t really apply to me. Which means I’m in real trouble this Christmas. Because the SNES Classic is gonna be this year’s must-have…and it looks sweet: https://goo.gl/nsYpje

Tattoo Science!
…summer coming to a close might be a real bummer, but Beakerhead on the horizon is a reason too be stoked about September.

As a general rule, I try not to criticize referees in any sport. You shouldn't talk shit on a job that you can't do, in my opinion. And you have to allow for human error, some sports fans dont, or won't do, a lot of the time. All of that to say, this referee is trash, this was incredibly dangerous, and hopefully he never gets anywhere near an MMA fight again. -
