The good folks at The Ringer designed a beat-em-up style game where the titular hero is Sam Hinkie. Don’t believe me? Here are some of the best moments from my play through of Hinkie’s Revenge.

Here’s Sam Hinkie giving Joel Embiid a piggy-back ride to protect his feet, as the duo forms the weirdest Voltron ever to throw Shirley Temples at / defeat Bryan Colangelo.

Do I really need to keep going over this with you? The animosity for Bryan Colangelo around here has subsided a ton—rightfully so!—but this is a fun look back on the last few years, and an absolute must play.
