Again with the verbs?

As I stated in a previous post, verbs should not be difficult to use in English (unlike some other languages). Nonetheless, Kotaku printed the following:

Exasperated, Fallon flail his way through the game, saying,"What happened? What do I do? How do I get out? I'm getting exhausted."

Simply put, describing action that happened in the past should be done in the past tense. Even assuming it is supposed to be present tense, there is no subject-verb agreement there.
