Quickie: 8-bit art imitates life, Vikings blow playoffs in Tecmo Bowl, Buckner and Game 6 relived in RBI Baseball

Many of you may have seen these before, but in honor of the Minnesota Vikings likely blowing the playoffs this weekend, I figured I should share a video of the last time they choked this hard: 2003.
They started out the season on fire and were extinguished down the stretch, losing to the immortal Arizona [...]

Minneapolis’s own American Gangster: Record review of “Pride” by Brinks

Late this year, film critics and music reviewers alike praised the motion picture American Gangster along with Jay-Z’s album of the same name, inspired by the movie.

Don’t blame Atmosphere for the weather

They started out in New York, with the “country white girl” clashing with the “urban black guy,” no doubt creating the formula that MTV’s writers eventually pumped [...]
