The factory of sadness did another fine job today. Generic pic obligatory:

Had to share this. On Cleveland sports radio today, of course the big Browns rage was about Kizer's boneheaded QB sneak at the end of the second quarter at the 2, with like 10 seconds left, no timeouts, and only 2nd down, and of course he didn't get in and the Browns were left holding their...

Browns reality check: Is Kizer worth committing to? He can thread needles and fire bullets but I have yet to seem him do anything that requires air. What say you? I say reluctantly, nay. He has a potential laser arm imo. iow, I cannot imagine him throwing a sweet over the shoulder or behind...

Back when they all wore leather helmets and rushing won championships.

On LeBron. Here is what I think. For his whole life, playing with him made everyone around him feel like they were on whippits. So two observations LBJ *is* getting older now, and second, LBJ *still* makes everyone around feel as if they are doing whippits. That is my opinion. Cavs are entering...

Whole post-season was a trip. My Indians totally collapsed when they tried to be strong in the Bronx. Indians got beat, dominated. Then the Yanks also played strong next. Those friggin Yankees, you can never count them out. Then this series. It's been fine October b-ball imo ;) See you all next...

I think game 5 took 5 years off of each players' life, on both teams. The Astros have hardly been electric. Outside of Verlander, they seemed pretty beat last night. Both teams on fumes imo. Tonight was all about, who had a little bit more to give. I'll say it again: Game 5 was so off the...

Is there any major US sport more equal opportunity than baseball? How tall is Altuve? He is such a beast.

Verlander is like a human sleeping pill. He has the LA order and the fans as quiet as a nursing home after they get their dinner meds.

Dare I watch the game tonight? My nerves are still shot from Game 5. And for the record, I do *not* think the balls are juiced. I just think, that is how insane certain batters are on both these teams. God do I love October baseball. No other sport gets close, except **maybe** NBA finals.

I'm liking the way you think.

I live with Browns misery. Here in Cleveland, the local sports radio show hosts call Mondays during football season, "Therapy Monday." They play really sad sounding old blues songs during breaks. It is actually kind of funny. Oh, and then there is Halloween! People decorate their front yards...

Gonna sprinkle a little more Kirk Gibson goodness in the thread.

Track it! You are a warehouse worker or consumer trying to make a human conn4ction with each other. Using Amzon's emo-based tracking system, users establish bonds with their deliverer or consumer, and a rating system gives potential wages or discounts to customers / warehouse drones who are...

\ I have his call of Kirk Gibson's "you can favor one leg, but you can't favor both" at bat, and Mookie Wilson's glorious "little roller up along first" seared into my memory. If I come back as a zombie after I die, I will be known as "that really messed up zombie who just keeps repeating...

At least we can look forward to the Astros destroying the Yankees.

Our ace turned into Chokey McChokeface last two outings. Fuck Kluber. Mr. September.

fucking Yankees. It is getting time to Release. The. Midges.

If you rule out level grinds, then keys/shards and gateway zones/mobs for each key set only way to go. Otherwise the content monsters eat your shit in 72 hours. And plus, you need to add lockouts in addition. What game has solved the problem of the content monster eaters? None. None has solved.

tomorrow yankees host the indians, with possible sweep by the tribe. oh yes, I am going out to a good bar tomorrow to watch the game. any other cleveland locals?

Just got back from downtown. Cleveland hopping tonight. Took the back routes to my house about 10 minutes away, but was stuck behind a Ford Escort driving sloow and blasting "And the Cradle (Will Rock)" during some construction or something on W. 25th. Not gonna complain. Go Tribe.

God bless the bunt edit: the next to last pitch had evil movement. That was an amazing pitch. Too bad next one kind of hung there lol.

Here is a passage from a NYT artticle on the LV maniac. For some reason, I found it helpful if I imagined myself as Bill Hader doing a Keith Morrison impersonation: "He was there to play, not to party. The night before the shooting, Mr. Paddock made two complaints to the hotel about noise...

I love Gibson's stance. I can't imagine how intimidating that must have been to a pitcher. He just squares away and goes, ok, let's go. edit: as I rewatch it, when he took that pitch to make it 2-2. That is when it got amazing for me.

I got lots of memories, but gotta love this Kirk Gibson at-bat. I needed something to feel good, because the Las Vegas shit is bumming me out big time. So here, friends.

I love good songwriters. I would never listen to him on the radio, but hell yeah. He knew how to craft a song. And if you look at it, it is usually so simple! That's talent.

Tom Cruise is no Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio is a more complicated actor than Cruise. Cruise kinda has maybe 3 or 4 modes of expression. When they work, they do kick ass. I still rewatch A Few Good Men periodically. I view that film as his pinnacle. He managed to hold his ground against vintage...

Zappa with the Mike Douglas orchestra. And yes, younger people, this IS what would happen on daytime TV periodically. No biggie. It was the 70's Sweet version too lol

And they win by a squeeker. How predictable.

I am an alum. But I am not sure I am happy PSU is doing alright. Still feeling pissed about the whole you know what. I almost want to see them lose and be grinded, just because I knod of am still pissed. Penn State has not re-earned my fandom yet.

Challenge, accepted Sadre in Cleveland

I'm going to go ahead and say it. The Divinity system seems to be best enjoyed straight up. It is that good. I would just have fun figuring it out.

downloaded and installed game. Cracking my knuckles and making some coffee to spend the night puzzling out char creation. If it is anything like the original, that is likely all I will get done tonight lol

I think you described the genius of this "engine" exactly. How the hell do they do it??? As you say, *of course* one can design a game breaking char set. But the real fun is just diving in, and the game seems to reward that with odd advantages, or aa you exactly put it, " fun emergent gameplay"...

Just my two cents, D:OS was the most fun I have had in an isomorphic single player rpg since Baldur's Gate. The design is so tight. I sometimes would spend half an evening deciding what upgrade/skill point upgrade path to take. If you love thinking about stats and roles, this game is heaven...

Since the danger is past, I offer the following levity. It is cool with a light breeze coming off Lake Erie here in Cleveland, and the city went nuts this afternoon as the Tribe won their 21st game in a row, setting a new AL record. Downtown is still one big party. (Sorry, it is not often I get...

Really? I have never been in truly dangerous and bad weather. But I have heard so many who have describe what it sounds like this way. I am guess, it not only sounds that way, it feels that way? Just trying to imagine. Where I am, it's sudden really bad snow storms and bitter wind. But I have...

Still sounds like it is going to be a major nuisance at best. Anytime power goes down is not good.
