    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I think the one difference here is that we have a good core of people who hang out in IRC already (irc.uberguilds.org #swampdonkey), and we were there before FFXIV reboot was even a thing anyone gave a shit about. There is a better sense of familiarity via IRC than through the boards, so I...

    Tennis

    I really hate ESPN's coverage. Huge upset by Puig in the making and they switched over to show us Federer walking out onto center court, and then showed their warm ups before going to a "Oh this just happened on court 18" bullshit. Couldn't even show the point live, even though they were at...

    Same, I'll just jump on whatever server ISIS decides to roll on. Even if it's a "low pop" server, I'm sure there will be plenty of people around, and all of my grouping should be handled via the guild. Lolboardguild but whatever, it's not like Braen is running it!

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    I think this belongs here, not sure though: http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013...-bathroom?lite I don't know enough about this to know exactly wtf is going on, but something doesn't seem right. Because a 4 year old boy says that he's a girl makes him a girl? He was 4 when he started...

    Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (STEAM!)

    Mad Men

    Yes, Pete's on his way to California. The Hershey's guy said that last bit incredulously, not believing what he had heard...Don definitely blew it. The guy that Duck was bringing in was Don's replacement, and considering that they wouldn't give Don a return date, he might be taking a permanent...

    Also don't forget that this is still closed beta. I highly doubt that there will be population issues upon release, or even into phase 4.

    Question about Kegs of Beer / Alcohol content.

    The Meat Thread

    The HEB's in Austin (not sure where exactly you're at) typically have amazing steaks. Picked up 2 lbs. of tri-tip for $8 a few weeks ago and they were great. They often have ribeye specials through the middle of the week, too.

    Question about Kegs of Beer / Alcohol content.

    I've had a few good IPA's that I didn't mind (I prefer stouts), but the IPA boom over the past decade has pretty much ruined it. It's turned into a bullshit hopdick measuring contest, and there sure as fuck is such a thing as too much hops. Most IPA's taste like brewery rejects...just bitter...

    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    Yep, losing CP would have been a disaster and we'd be looking at another 30 years of lolclippers (probably still are, but this gives them a chance).

    The Meat Thread

    Tri-tip = the most common cut you'll get at a Brazilian churrascaria, so it's common outside of CA if you know what you're looking for. Best way to prepare it is in a ziplock bag with a heavy dose of worcestershire sauce and a few cloves of garlic. Tenderize it with a fork and add black...

    Book of the Month - Merged

    Yeah, there's no reason to take up several months with a series. Use the BotM to introduce new authors/series to people, and people can continue on their own if want to.

    Book of the Month - Merged

    It's the 22nd! So here's the biggest thing I've taken away from it aside from the obvious "holy shit this book fucking rocks": The one-on-one fight scenes with Temujin were almost poetic. Where Iggulden could have easily drawn them out to add tension and drama, he kept them short and...

    Tennis

    Jesus you're not kidding, Tsonga has it fucking rough. I'd love to see him win this though, and I'll take Blake as a darkhorse just because it'd be great to see him make a little run. Yeah, I caught a few of Hampton's matches in Paris and she is impressive, she's the most fun to watch of the...

    Worst Major League Sports Commissioner?

    Yeah, that and veto'ing trades that have no business being veto'd are inexcusable. Stern is terrible, and I feel terrible for voting for Selig now. Neg Daezuel to offset this injustice.

    Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

    Wait, I want to know why Lumie doesn't like Hex (I don't have time to dig through that thread). It seemed like a pretty good adaptation of MtG, and I know Lumie knows his shit when it comes to that (seriously, he does).

    Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

    You fucking idiots are rehashing shit from the Atheism Thread (and Lumie's thread from FoH). Per Lumie: Cancer is cured by juicing organic fruits/veggies. Lumie has already refuted the Creator of the Creator argument by invoking the whichever fallacy of whatever. We desperately need...

    Worst Major League Sports Commissioner?

    It was already the top sport in the country for over a decade prior to him coming aboard. He's ok, I guess, but players fucking hate him and he has an enormous fucking head. He's also been pushing for expanded presence in the UK (fuck that shit, who cares?), the pussification of the sport (to...
