I have a pretty sweet gig, I must admit. I sit here, write my indefensible videogame takes down, and then publish them for money. The only downside is that I’m obliged to put my name at the top, and the legions who disagree with me can easily mock me. “More like Badshua Dumblens,” they write,…

You may not know this, but there’s an official Excel championship that runs out of Las Vegas with the winner claiming a belt and $5,000.
