    They showed two zones. And interactive grass. I'm not sure if their last reveal was in 2014 or 2018. Character animations still appear to be from the year 1776, but there are rumors they will rock before pre-beta 1812. Also, lots of design docs from their 18 designers have been sent out; this...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    No way. Cloud's USB broke the game. Even with Magicite emphasizing elemental teams, Cloud USB-focused teams were able to sub-30 most of the 3* magicite at their release. He was insane for that era. Everything prior to his USB1 was either stupid fanboy hype or reta meta love in the early game.

    More than that. If he gets just $3 per sub he's making $43,332 from Twitch sub fees alone. With Tier 2 and Tier 3 subs, he's probably making a little more. At $4 per sub he's grossing $57,776 per month. Twitch donations + bits is going to be another similarly large amount. He might make more...

    Cejudo looked ripped in this fight. One of the commentators mentioned he spent 2 separate weeks at UFC PI to work on his weight, and he definitely looked that way. In his past fights, he's had that DC blubbery wrestler look to him. Seeing Cody @ just 142, same as the 125'ers, was a bit of a...

    I'm not sure I agree. Looking at each division's champ: 125 – Cejudo (wrestler) 135 – TJ (striker) 145 – Holloway (striker) 155 – Khabib (wrestler) 170 – Woodley (striker) 205 – Whittaker (striker) 225 – DC (wrestler) HW – DC (wrestler) Certainly grapplers are having a hard time.

    I'd be okay watching TJ and Cody rematch many more times. TJ is so impressive, he's made Cody look human, just on another level. I'd also love to see Dom Cruz return in top shape.

    This could be really good for the 125 division. Gotta think Mighty Mouse will get a rematch whenever he so chooses. I am a little surprised 2 of the 3 judges scored it for Henry––the fight was close and neither guy was underserving––good job by the CA folks. I don't think Cejudo has a chance...

    I think Khabib might have the edge in the mental warfare. He's absolutely gotten into Conor's head (he attacked sparring partner Artem, leading to Conor's dolly-at-bus retaliation). Khabib is rich AF and fights with a weightlessness to him. Conor's returning after a long long layoff with a lot...

    Once Khabib gets Conor to the ground, he'll be down there until the ref steps in or the bell rings. Khabib will not surprise Conor. He will put himself in danger. But once he wraps Conor up, the brutality and damage will not stop. He's unrelenting with his pressure. Conor has had YEARS to prep...

    Yeah 12-6 elbow is a dumb rule, but it's one that as a seasoned professional Eddie should know. Unfortunately he was in the heat of the moment, went to strike the guy, and did what his coach asked. These things happen. It's not dirty, it's not evil, it's just something he should know better...

    Fighters "break the rules" in nearly every fight. How many times did DC advance towards Stipe with his fingers forward? Every single time is not following the rules. There was no stoppage until he flicked Stipe in the eye. The 12 to 6 elbow isn't a new rule, but it's a fight and things happen...

    Main and co-main were both great fights. Hope Eddie gets a good deal to stay in UFC. Dude might be aging but he isn't showing it yet. Always a good fight. Aldo may have staved off retirement with that win. Still has something to prove.

    Especially a defensive TACKLE. If he gets franchise tagged just once playing chicken, he loses more than he gains. The Rams have extra money right now they can afford to spend.

    That's a heck of a gulf for what doesn't amount to a large amount of money. Franchise Tag for a DT is $14 Million. Doesn't add up. Rams are probably willing to give a lot of guaranteed money and a big bonus next year – Darnold is best off getting a deal done. Probably just stalling until Mack...

    Swimmers carry a lot more fat (and muscle) than other endurance athletes (e.g., runners, swimmers). Fat is buoyant in water. Lochte has always been on the "big" side, but even at the Olympics he doesn't stand out for his size.

    There's zero downside for Woodley refusing the fight vs an overweight Till. If he wins, he shuts Till up. He gets some of Till's purse (plus his champ show money/PPV points/etc), maintains his belt, and he's onto the next challenger. If he loses, he's still the champ and got PAID (see the...

    As others have said, the team probably wants Donald taken care of yesterday. Every day a deal doesn't get done is a day Donald's contract could go way up. Donald has the leverage to wait. He carries some risk for a mega injury, but his number is highly unlikely to come down. Bell wants that...

    His deal is basically no risk for the Falcons after this year, they're free to cut him. So he technically has 3 years remaining but only 1 year of guaranteed pay. It's a bit of an obtuse point to make and I don't know if he'll be successful. Dude wants to make sure he gets paid one last time...

    Too many champs are more interested in winning than being flashy/popular. Stipe is a glaring example––he basically refused to hype himself and his fights––but he's not alone. Guys like Cowboy (or Diaz) are popular and brawlers but their style doesn't win consistently. Then there's the other...

    $80M is a little disingenuous. Assuming he returns to form his contract after that will be $40M+ per season, perhaps $50M+ so it's maybe $30 million dollars to choose where he wants to play. Income tax difference between Texas and Canada/California will cost him more than that, but the...
