    NFL Streaming Thread - 2017/18

    Read the thread but still not sure there is a "best option" for me. I'm streaming directly from my computer to my tv- no roku, no kodi. I'm not a student, but can probably get access to a student ID number. I don't mind paying up to $100 for the entire season, but I'm not paying more than...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Apologies if this was posted earlier in the thread- glanced through the last few pages and didn't see anything: NFL Sunday ticket the only viable option for watching games online? Really want to stream games due to fantasy stuff but fuck paying almost $400

    What site people using these days for torrents? Preferably one that doesn't require an invite- unless you have an invite for me ;)

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    It would have little such effect. Boxing pundits would simply say Floyd lost because he was old, didn't take the fight seriously, and Mcgregor got lucky.

    Yeah Bro, go to a sports bar. Otherwise, your $200-- it's gone.

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    This is the only fact that could make this travesty interesting. That said, I don't think Mayweather minds looking bad as long as he gets his money and his 50-0 record. Boxing already looks bad.

    Yes. Made my room mate get early access so I could test multi. They have a new GM mode that looks badass

    I've only picked up one early access game and I've absolutely loved it: Divinity 2. I'm very stoked for full release.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    They've got some good ideas for sure. It's an overused expression, but EQN was going for revolution and VR is content with evolution. Evolution is always safer/easier/cheaper.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I'd guess we will have some sort of mechanism for accountability in the future for KS- if KS expects to continue to exist there's going to have to be. The whole concept of being able to panhandle for funds with nothing more than promises and then fail to deliver while facing zero repercussions...

    Been wondering the same thing. I had no idea they were sisters to the brothers until now. Thought they were escorts on retainer

    Civilization VI

    What's the word on this game? I bought just about every other Civ on release but held off on this one due to negative reviews. I need a strat game now though. Should I pull the trigger on this or just wait for VII?

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    With all the options to emulate old Nintendo games, I almost passed on the NES classic. I'm glad I managed to snag one at the last minute though. I'm not much of a collector, but I do like having the actual mini NES and original Nintendo controller. Definitely plan on picking up the SNES

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Sure. I'll take your word for it. Seems to me that the line between "cosmetic" and "p2w" gets blurred really fast. Cash shops start out promising only cosmetic and then slowly but surely start slipping toward "gameplay affecting" and then eventually pay to win. After all, when cash shops are...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Here's my take on cash shops-- and I'm a salty old DnD player, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think it applies because fantasy mmos are fundamentally built around the old tabletop traditions. If I'm sitting around the table with a group of friends rolling dice and DMing them through...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    You see, you nailed it right here. This: "If we step outside of the MMO genre for a minute" Is required for this: "You can have a cash shop and it not "ruin" the game."

    I see F2P and mmo in the same sentence and my brain goes on autoignore like when I see articles claiming "with one weird trick" I can do blah blah blah.

    Better Call Saul

    Killing yourself doesn't show remorse. Choosing to live despite the pain in order to right your wrongs shows remorse. If he committed suicide he wasn't doing it for anyone other than himself.

    East Coast-- All over but most of my life in VA. Most people think of Denver like that but it's not. I'd take winter in Denver over winter anywhere north of SC on the east coast. People who have never lived out west just don't have a concept for what a difference super low humidity makes...

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    Besides, you guys are looking at this all wrong. Winning isn't Conor's objective. Get in. Get rich. Get out. He tweeted that in 2014. That's been his objective the entire time. This is the big payday he's been working toward the whole time. He's going to get in the ring, look like a...

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    I hear ya. And you are correct that boxing cardio is a less intense cardio than mma cardio. Nevertheless, I suspect McGregor will gas relatively early. As to the age difference and the slight weight difference, if this was even a relatively close fight otherwise, I would say they might...

    Fargo

    It's a great show. This is pretty clearly the weakest season, but it's still quality tv. Ironically, I like a few of this season's characters more than all of last season's characters. Last season's story/plot was tighter. I think the primary flaw in this season is that it seems rushed and...

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    If it makes it to late rounds, Mcgregor will be so tired Mayweather is going to have a hard time NOT dropping him without it being painfully obvious. I'm trying to envision a scenario in which this could be a good fight and coming up empty. Even if Mcgregor goes balls to the wall and comes...

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    I could see that. Everyone saves face. Everyone makes millions. Setup for Part 2. This is why I stopped watching boxing in the first place. MMA so much better in this regard.

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    Normally I'd agree with you, but what the hell would the fix be? I can't see Mayweather taking a dive under any circumstances. Mcgregor taking a dive would be pointless because everyone expects him to lose anyway.

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    Yeah this is the most exciting possible outcome for what will undoubtedly be an otherwise boring fight- and there is pretty much no chance of this happening. If this was an mma fight, Mayweather wouldn't stand a chance. Since this is a boxing match, Mcgregor doesn't stand a chance. 12...

    Denver/Yellowstone/Salt Lake City Road Trip

    If you're still in the Denver area go to Bluepan Pizza and get the Brooklyn Bridge. Haven't had a better pizza anywhere I've lived- and they have a great tap too. Who knows, maybe I'll see you out (not that I'd recognize you).

    Yeah from what I understand getting eaten off the coast of Australia is more likely than a lot of places but you'd still have to have pretty bad luck. I've also heard that the actual shark attack rate is lower than other places overall, but the fatality rate is a little bit higher because the...

    Kinda off topic, but if I'm looking for great weather, fun nightlife (working professional), water sports/beaches, and a general fun/friendly environment what city or area would you guess recommend in Australia? Sounding like somewhere on the Gold Coast so far... how's Sydney though? Better...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Pretty useful. I've eaten several body parts so far. Found a hidden treasure spot due to the memories I got from eating a hand I found on the beach. Loving the game. About 22 hours in.
