    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Just google best WoW emu server + expansion of your desire. Whatever is rated favorably will be solid enough. Your biggest decision is PvP or PvE and if you want 10x rate exp/gold/etc or "Blizzlike." The rate up servers are fun for a theme park experience.

    San Francisco -> Levi's Stadium

    Driving 280 is gorgeous. You're missing out by skipping it. CalTrain is comfy but it's slow and there's not much to see.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yup. The early game sucks. Coming from end-game WoW, the adjustment period is being patient while everyone tells you to just level the fuck up. Then you hit max level and combat's not much different from BfA WoW. That said, the game (content and playstyle) is a lot more repetitious than WoW –...

    But my $10,000 investment gets my game released! That's all the return I need!!!!!! Also some sweet in-gme loot and maybe a cloth map. Don't you dare say there's no return on those pledge tiers.

    Stipe, as good as he is in the cage, is too nice to ignite the media frenzy. The UFC never put the marketing machine behind him, always paid him like crap, and there was bad blood between him and Dana/UFC over the money. This isn't surprising. I also don't think DC wants to rematch Stipe. Dude...

    Dana talked about this at the post-fight press conference. NSAC is withholding Khabib's show purse ($2 million). NSAC doesn't have jurisdiction over the PPV bonuses, but Dana said that won't be available for months or a long time. Khabib is rich AF and his normal show purse has been like $20k...

    You forget Americans are racist AF. Conor gets a pass because he's a white guy (Irish people are great). Slapped on the wrist by the New York DA. Khabib and his team are evil Russian Muslims. There won't be leniency.

    Khabib gets shit PPV buys. Khabib is a wrestler. Neither of those are good for business. Dana White has an excuse to cut him out of the promotion. The PR team will spin it however they need to. In the end, it's all about the money – releasing him from the division will make them millions upon...

    Dana got what he wants – Khabib is now out of the UFC forever. Conor's defense was as good as you could expect. But when Khabib didn't fall over, it was like his fight with Nate Diaz and Conor didn't have a plan B. Tony looked amazing, but a little thin. I'd guess Tony vs Conor is the next...

    LUL at the judge who scored that 30-26. Nice win for Formiga. As I predicted, Pettis couldn't match his BJJ and was ineffective standing up – the young kid stayed flat on his back in a defensive position for most of the fight.

    I thought Khabib had the early edge in the mental warfare, but Conor's played this week perfectly. Definitely choosing the Irishman here. I keep coming back to the fact that he's been training for this fight for 3 years. Conor's defense will be good enough to exploit Khabib's openings. I predict...

    They'll be on ESPN next year. UFC is getting plenty of money. The PPV model is going through some pains. HBO just announced they were dropping boxing after 45 years.

    Palmer might get some talk, but he's unlikely to get in for the reasons you mentioned. Him getting some talk at all after that injury so early in his career is what's impressive. His body never fully recovered.
