Apparently one of the players lost and started shooting. It's pretty brutal.

I kind of want to comment about McCain... but it would be rather harsh, and I don't know that peeps want to see/hear it. >.>

Politics are pretty much banned.
Linking a news article is one thing.
-
Yeah.. and the term "politics" is often so poorly defined that an aweful lot of things are dumped under that umbrella, whether actually political or not, so I suppose I'll just refrain.

It's not even a good game!

Yeah, it's popular though. League of Legends is also a bad game and so is Fortnite.

I know OF those two, but don't know them. Madden I know from decades ago, but haven't heard of anyone playing it in forever. Had no idea it had any kind of following.
-
@scottalanmiller It is the most popular sports game of all time. Yearly releases for 25 years.

Most popular and "still has a following" don't necessarily line up. I knew it was big for a long time. But haven't heard about it in years now. Not that I can remember. I don't know anything about, say, Fortnight, but I hear it mentioned places non-stop. I figured if I said "Madden Football" to someone under 25 today, they'd look blankly at me and when I explained what it was they'd tell me it died out before they started gaming. Amazing that it's still popular.
-
Not that I know OTHER football games that would be better, just amazing that that one has held on so long.
-
Popular != good
It only has new releases to generate income for EA
Aside from cosmetics, the game has not changed since this was released.

LoL is not my style, but certainly was not a bad game.
Fortnite is also not my style, but is not a bad game either.

MOBA's aren't bad but LoL is a bad MOBA. It lacks a lot of the mechanics/depth that good MOBA's have and add's nothing to replace them.

Clear Beer? Clear Coffee?
https://www.wsj.com/articles/clear-beer-dont-judge-a-drink-by-its-color-1535544000
Okay, maybe it is just me but does anyone really want the beer taste without the alcohol? I am a coffee drinker and I don't want coffee without the caffeine. Now if it could just be coffee that is clear, I am all for that, no coffee teeth stain. But, water that is just coffee flavored......I will pass.
