iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

October 4, 2004 The first MK game to go online. The Konquest Mode was better than it had any right to be. Puzzle Kombat and Chess.Kombat were fun. And you can’t go wrong with Super Shredder Sub-Zero.

This is the fourth game to receive a 5 out of 5 from @giantbomb.com this year. The others are Forza Horizon 6, Valheim, and... [checks notes] ...Beetle Adventure Racing. The team has also now reviewed more games in 2026 than the last 8 years combined.

October 2, 2001 Attaching a fingerboard to the analog sticks for a skateboarding game is a really cool idea. Did it work? No, not really. Still cool though.

Atlanta Braves Mascot's Hilarious Blooper

Zero love for the Phillies since '93. Always a battle. And I'm old enough to remember the NL West rivalries with the Dodgers. On to Saturday.

3-0 in the 1st feels good, but no true Atlanta sports fan feels safe. 13-0 in the 1st wouldn't feel safe.

The fun thing about this Braves team this season is that they're never out of it. Over 40 comeback wins and led the league in runs scored in the 8th and 9th inning. It's also stressful as fuck.

The cool thing about baseball is that after watching about 100 of your team's 162 games, they win their division and then are rewarded with first round playoff games that start at 2 PM on a Tue/Wed while everyone is at work.
