Play-By-Play Commentary

Burning Down

For Hutch's last stand, his last possible frame of play, we get the greatest hits catalog. The compilation package, wrapped in a shiny cover. Jay-Z's career comes to mind: saying he's done with the game, while putting out the new single of the summer.

But will the viewers in the forums be humming a Midi Talking Heads song ("Road to Nowhere") while the sperm with fists runs in place to... nowhere? And how will Kox take it? Is the match sealed, already sunk into a previous era, or can he pull out a "Roc Boys"?

Pendulum remains in the middle for me. It's Kox's game to win.
