    No I think they were, but not to the degree that the Raptor's win is tainted. Injuries happen. It is part of the game. I guess my view is, the Warriors are a good *team* and they did play their heart out, but the balls fell for the Raptors, but that is how sports works sometimes. If...

    The warriors not being able to hold up and close the season was good for the NBA. Injuries happen at the darndest times, and the Raptors just proved, you never know if a team is gonna get hot and all the right people are gonna make the right plays. Lowry's start the other night was a joy to...

    An old friend of mine just emailed me and said he finally played this all the way through in correct tuning and everything. He is a professional musician in his early 50's lol. Tis a great song.

    Capital is a real issue. I am guessing DBG has a total yearly budget of 7 figures, not counting overhead of being run above a pizza parlor and the maintenance of the no doubt rented server farms, and so, ya know, we have to be prepared that we may want some real substantive product from this IP...

    That Kimmel bit was hilarious. Reminds me of the Anchorman 2 fight scene, where the Canadian news team says "sorry" after every insult. If the Raptors win, I hope at least one Canadian newspaper has guts to run a simple one word bold print headline: SORRY!

    Yeah. I am fairly sure among the ancient Romans, tampering with a sanctioned event was considered sacrilege and was thus subject to sacred law. And then this guy came after you:

    Well, spend an hour glancing at the p99 boards. It was classic for the r99 people to basically derail any and all threads. Some of you know. So, in other words, this is kind of comically ironic. OF COURSE a thread about issues surrounding classic EQ is going to get invaded by the PvP "hordes" --...

    That asshole co-owner deserves the ban. I know I am naive, but I expect people who own sports franchises to be ... good sportsmen.

    Any meaningful new mmo has to9 figure out a way to foil multiboxing. It drives away audience. I like the skill paths > class idea ukerris mentioned above and if designed well, sure, it would be a fine way to go. What still remains the challenge in the pve model, is how to design content...

    This would be the only answer.
