    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    Off to the stadium tonight to watch the Young Boys take on Monaco in the Champions League Qualifiers. I really don't rate our chances all that high, but you never know. On paper it's no contest, but I guess that's why they play the games. Only shitty thing is there will be no alcohol in the...

    MLB 2015 Season

    Tulo is a great player, I'm happy to have him and not sorry to see the backside of Reyes. Also managed to hang onto our two top rated pitching prospects according to Baseball America. Hoffman has already had Tommy John surgery and he throws 100 so he will probably burn out at 26 like Verlander...

    MLB 2015 Season

    Full disclaimer, as a Blue Jays fan I hate pretty much anything having to do with the Yankees. That being said..... Perfect reason to cheat, who would suspect that the guy under that much scrutiny would be cheating! Probably found the newest variant of undetectable stuff out there and is...

    MLB 2015 Season

    I sincerely hope the Jays don't make a move for Cueto. They don't have a team that can make a deep playoff run, even with him, and it would be a 4 month rental at best, no way he re-signs in Toronto. But sadly you're right, it would be a very Toronto thing to do.

    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    Not that anyone here cares probably, but my local team, BSC Young Boys, got probably the worst possible draw in the Champions League qualifiers. The possible opponents were Shaktar Donetzk, Ajax Amsterdam, ZSKA Moscow, FC Br?gge, and AS Monaco. We ended up getting Monaco as our opponent, granted...

    XCOM 2

    I think the game will be good, but nothing great. Like you guys said, the modders will make this game right. The Long War just simply makes X-Com so much better. Games like Civ V, EU IV and others benefit from mods, but I would still play them without the mods. For me, no Long War makes the...

    XCOM 2

    That bullshit reactive thing you are talking about is a mech skill in Long War, they get a free retaliation shot at whatever unit shoots them first in a turn, no overwatch required, if they have the skill (I think my gunner mech does, but my assault and infantry ones do not). If you see that...

    XCOM 2

    Yeah for those 4 man extraction maps, I use a 16 base mobility assault with sprinter (so 20 mobility), only give them a pistol and no other items so they get another +5 to their mobility. A 25 mobilty guy makes those missions so so much easier, especially one who can run and gun so they can...

    MLB 2015 Season

    I think he got booted because after the ump told him to get back in the box, he just stuck his toe just over the line into the box, pretty much directly provoking the ump after jawing at him too. I think it was justified.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Hey Quin, I have a seasonal barb on EU with about 380 Paragon, I could give you a hand getting you rolling sometime. I'm at work right now so I can't look up my battlenet ID but I'll edit my post with it later when I get home. Um diese Angebot noch ein bisschen attraktiver zu machen, k?nnen wir...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I've poked around online and haven't really found any defintive answers to this question so I'm hoping you bros here can help me out. On the d3 wiki I read that the chance of ancient gear dropping scales from 1.5% to 10% when going from Torment I to Torment VI. Is there further scaling in...

    NeverGrind: EQ inspired, browser-based single player RPG

    Hey Mael, thanks a lot for the game, I have been really enjoying playing it. I just have one question for you, I seem to recall someone asking about mobile platform support for the game. Is the game supported for iOS? On my iPhone 6 I can log into my account, but when I try to enter the world it...

    2015 NHL Playoffs Thread

    My Flames are looking pretty good so far, Vancouver might take game 5 in Van but I think we wrap it up at the latest in game 6 at home. It sucks not being in Calgary though, especially as I live in Europe now and an 8pm start in Calgary is 4am for me, makes it kinda tough to watch the games...

    What do you do?

    Fair enough, but that's on the cheap side of the lake in Z?rich, the other side gets more sun and is more expensive, I bet if I searched I could find something the same size and twice as expensive on the so called "Gold Coast". Guess this isn't really a cock measuring contest though, and I know...

    The Joe Rogan Experience

    While I agree with you that radio guys are still pretty big, I read an article today that said that 40 million Americans listened to a podcast last month. I can link the article but it's in German.http://www.nzz.ch/feuilleton/medien/...zen-1.18508309 So to say that there is no market to be...

    The Joe Rogan Experience

    Ari Shaffir was on the Adam Carolla Show recently and Adam made a good point about this whole Stern/Shaffir thing. Middle ground positions aren't interesting. Stern probably doesn't feel as negatively about Podcasts as the position he took on his show, but if he was to say some are good and some...

    German

    The Deutsche Welle also offers a podcast called Langsam Gesprochene Nachrichten. It basically a news report and they don't pull any punches on the vocabulary but they speak it slooooowly which helps immensely in understanding. It's only about 8 minutes or so long, might be good for you to hear a...

    German

    Ok I will take Mascha's word for it. I currently live in the german part of Switzerland, which is also where I learned my German, so it makes sense that I learned the southern German way. As I learned it Blazin, sehen would be more akin to see in english, while schauen is watch. Like a...

    Whiplash

    Add me to the list of pleasantly surprised. I had very low expectations going into this movie as my musical talent could fit inside a thimble and I'm not really into jazz, but this was a great movie. I kinda felt that the relationship with the movie theater chick was unnecesary and didn't add...

    Men's Fashion

    Did you really mean your brother passed away? Like he's dead? And then you casually comment how you took the jeans that were going to be his present? And THEN you make a comment about something being stiff as a board? I dunno, just seems like the death of your brother didn't hit you all that...

    Europa Universalis IV

    I'm not sure how aggressively you're leveling up your ideas, but taking a military idea first is generally a pretty bad idea. You get boosts to military tactics at military tech 4,6,7, and 8 and tactics play a pretty big role in how your army performs. An army with mil tech 8 will crush an army...

    Cities: Skylines

    It being a Paradox game and with my love of EU 4, I think I will get this, but will probably wait for a couple of the inevitable DLCs and balancing patches to come out first. EU4 right out of the gate was pretty rocky with bugs and crashes iirc.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If you're making 35k a year in Switzerland you're not having a good time. Salaries are a lot higher here because everything is very expensive, if a household makes under 4k a month theyre considered to be living in poverty, and 35k works out to less than 3k a month. Source is I have lived in...

    Please, numbers in German are all kinds of fucked up. Acht und zwanzig for twenty eight is just wrong. When people tell me telephone numbers here I have to tell them to give me single numbers at a time, not drei und funfzig, vier und sechzig etc. I always get messed up, is it 35 or 53, 46 or...

    People who don't let everyone get off the train before trying to barge their way on with their giant oversize suitcase. It just ends up taking longer for everyone.

    Europa Universalis IV

    Quill is a good EU 4 let's player, the other two I really enjoy are DDRJake and Arumba. They're both mainly concentrated on EU 4, DDRJake is pretty good at finding ways to exploit the game, he had one game where he had 11 idea groups or something, when the normal max is 8. Either way, both are...

    Best of luck with this Blazin, this is my biggest problem with German. Knowing whether a it should be ein, eine, einem, einen, einer, eines, etc. is very difficult and either requires a lot of memorization to know which case a verb is, or a lot of practice. I've been working in a German speaking...
