    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I'm still enjoying the moments of this past season. And while I've never been much on the "greatest team" debate, there is no denying that what LSU did this year was truly special. Mike Greenberg recently put it into perspective and it's almost impossible to argue. The greatest single season...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I would not want Jeff Fischer. Too much ego and risk of a power struggle. Not to mention, I'd have serious concerns about the motivation from someone like that. I'd personally prefer a younger, up-and-comer type talent. Sure, you're putting them in position to make a name for themselves and...

    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    LSU alumnus and fan here. Aranda is a very good coach and no nonsense kind of guy. He's been one of the best DCs in the country the last 5 years even though statistically, his best year as DC was in 2016, his first year at LSU. The defense you saw in the first half of this season was pretty...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    NFL games are basically unwatchable now due to horrible and inconsistent officiating. They're basically a third team out there with their own agenda to heavily influence games.

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    If I'm understanding your idea, that sounds to me like you'd need little more than a handful of zones. Just design them to scale up/down according to level or difficulty? The problem with that is that areas now lose their identity. Blackburrow was great because it was difficult at its level and...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Broken link for me, but I did see the separate forum and thread for it. Judging by the replies in that thread, I'm not sure that's a totally reliable list and doesn't really even answer the question, although someone posted the same one in there too. Which ones (for Classic) are critical...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    It was a lot less about the pass interference and a lot more about him dropping the ball. That's why he gets paid the big bucks - to make those catches. As a former receiver myself, I remember certain plays where I could just "feel" the big hit coming as I was watching the ball into my hands...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Remember that time when the Niners giddily shipped off Alex Smith, thinking they had their new franchise QB locked up for the next decade? Niners fan certainly does.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    No ties to the Dolphins but loved Marino while growing up. It was always disappointing to me that he never got a ring. For that matter, to only make one SB appearance will always be hard to believe, especially since he did it at such an early age. I think everyone thought that was the first of...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I could not agree more. For starters, he only played 5 years which isn't all that much considering how long many of today's starters have been starting. Additionally, he's a career 60% completion rate passer, which is shit. He's never passed for more than 3,300 yards. Again, hardly noteworthy in...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    And now the Kaepernick drama starts up all over again. I mean, ten years from now, some random asshat writer will post yet another blowhard article of why Colin Kaepernick should get another shot at QB over random_QB_14 just to keep this bullshit drama going.

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    I largely agree with your vision with a couple of exceptions. For starters, I struggle to see a game that focuses on forced group interdependence yet does NOT have a crowd control role. CC is such a huge part of why players need to group. If there are no classes that specialize in CC, then I...

    Then yes, you’re missing it. Even asking if it was true or speculating how surprising that hire would be is proof enough to get the snowball rolling. And next thing you know, we’re six pages later with pop ins totally running with it. That’s just how life works here.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I also play on Xegony and yeah, that Wieldhit guy is the resident cancer of the server. The least of the guy's transgressions is trying to screw people over on transactions or so I've heard in general chat. Many people have him on ignore nowadays but from what I do know about him through...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Interesting. So that would mean there would be three different versions of the Eastern Wastes, Crystal Caverns and Kael zones - the originals, the RoF versions and then this next set. I mean, I loved Kael and would still enjoy it, but it's disappointing that we're seeing these zones done yet...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    A new Velious expansion would be cool but I doubt it will happen for a few reasons. I'm thinking the next expansion will be a continuation of the PoP theme. TBL covered the elements of air and fire while this next one will cover earth and water. At least, that's my theory.

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

    Saw it last night. I completely agree with the 7/10 rating that the large majority seem to share on this one. The story is decent but nothing to write home about and there are a handful of cringe-worthy dialogue moments. All of that made up for though by all of the destruction and carnage laid...

    Guild Wars 2

    It's been several years since I last played GW2, before the expansion (Heart of Thorns maybe?) that added gliding or flying or whatever. I loved the 1-80 game and some of the world raid events but feel like it might be overwhelming to try again at this point. How many expansions would I need to...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    No problem. If you want my advice, take your time with the content. Between the zones, quests and missions, there's a ton to see. You've been away for awhile anyway and don't really need to worry about LFG with other players so you might as well enjoy the ride. I had taken a 6 year hiatus from...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    For lvls 85-90, you’ll want to focus on the House of Thule expansion. It’s pretty well done, offers quite a bit of content and will get you good gear for your level. Once you hit 90 and get your gear set there, move to the Veil of Alaris expansion followed by Rain of Fear, which will take you to...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I'm 48 but I also do more Olympic lifting now then I do powerlifting. At or below parallel is necessary if you want to compete in the sport. I've proven to myself that I can handle big loads without pain. What I'm discovering with these issues is that my mechanics and flexibility need to be a...

    More discussions the last few days with a PT, a chiro, and a massage therapist to zero-in on what’s going on. Plus a ton of stretching targeting quads, calves (more specifically, my soleus), glutes as well as some hip openers/activation. Also, chiro and MT both identified a bulging disc in my...

    I went the last 8.5 years going heavy and had almost zero issues with my knees until about 9-10 months ago. Numerous issues it would seem but only one of which is actually structural (partially torn meniscus in left). The rest of my pain seems to be from some sort of imbalance somewhere -...

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    As a Saints fan, all I can say is...whew! The Eagles were clearly pumped to start the game but was really proud of the way the Saints responded, especially on defense. The injury to Rankins is very concerning though with Anderson and Gurley coming into town.

    Lots of solid changes there so I'm not surprised by your results. Keep at it, especially with sugars. If you can eventually eliminate that shit (minus those in an occasional piece of fruit), that should go a long way in continuing to move the needle on the scale.

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    Nothing has been more frustrating in the last 7-8 years than to be an LSU fan. Loads of elite talent at every position on the field yet, for whatever reason, they've never been able to actually coach and develop any QBs to compete with Bama. It sucks having to play them every year but that's...

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    Always thought Mayock was the best analyst out there come draft time. I'd say good decision by the Raiders but those two phrases are rarely used in the same sentence so we'll see if it pans out. Here's an interesting thought. What about a rematch of the 2010 Super Bowl - Colts vs Saints?

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    I’ll take it. The Saints have really cooled off the last month which concerns me but not as much as injuries to a couple of their o-linemen. I hope they can get healthy these next two weeks. But when they’re playing like they did through November, they will be extremely tough to beat. The...

    I tried RP earlier this past year for about 4 months using one of their cut templates but didn't see any real results or changes from it. I've struggled with the flexible dieting/IIFYMs approach. I just tend to do better with a plan that's a little more defined. Tell me what to eat and when and...

    Been following this thread off and on for awhile. I've been doing CrossFit for the last 8.5 years.

I've also been feeling old as fuck lately (about to turn 48) and I've got too much of...

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    As a Saints fan, even I’ll agree that one was a bad call however, bad calls happen to every team. Let’s not overlook how atrocious officiating has been league wide. All. Season. Long. If the league really wants to gain some credibility on this issue, they just need to have replay officials in...
