    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    People rate the seasons in whatever order, but it's pretty universal that 5 is the worst. The McNutty/Freeman stuff and some of the of paper stuff was legit not good.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Sure that's all possible, but they did downgrade their serverfarm which is also why the changed how pickzones work and is also a big reason why people asking for private instances are smoking crack.

    Westworld

    It's been more consistent/level than season 2, but I think season 2 had better high points. Season 2's low points were real bad though.

    Westworld

    Harris was at least pretty interesting even if any context for anything doesn't really matter since it's all a giant contrived shit sandwich at this point.

    The Last Dance

    Didn't really feel like there was anything particularly new in the first 2 episodes. I do like how they refer to Obama as former Chicago resident though.

    it probably tries to, but it probably gets looser as time goes on. Also, a 3-1 player in silver is different than 3-1 in mythic.

    If you're playing in the low ranks of the ladder for limited you often get constructed players burning their gold as well as the usual shitters that get stuck in gold/platinum because they're mediocre.

    Dune (2020)

    Pretty sure it's fan made. Every character is directly from the released photos.

    And yet very few competitive decks even play agent now. The ramp decks largely all shifted to Gyruda instead.

    Dune (2020)

    Exactly this. You can bitch about what they did with Liet-Kynes but Chani's casting works in context at least racially.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Well even the live servers are shitting out. It's pretty universal.

    Yeah, it's zero sum. It's like when people complain about going 2nd 70 percent of the time. Which can be true on a small sample, but can't be true longterm.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    They switched to a cheaper shittier server farm awhile ago. It's why they changed how pickzones work, and is one of the main reasons there's no chance anyone will get private instances they keep asking for.

    Star Wars? It's clearly a Stargate rip off.

    yeah LED with the companion that lets you recast a thing from your GY seems pretty wild. Not sure it's actually good considering there's plenty of stupid things you can already do with LED but it's certainly interesting. I do think this set is going to make Standard games play out so...

    MTG thread

    Jokes aside I really do think it really is like Delve/Phyrexian Mana/Affinity fucked up, just in a different way. Those mechanics let you cheat mana by a lot, companions give you a free card and extra consistency on an absurd level. And many of the building restrictions are barely...

    MTG thread

    Mutate makes for some pretty one sided limited games, but companions fundamentally break some normal dynamics of how the game works. It's basically a free card in hand and creates more consistent play patterns to an extreme level.

    Dune (2020)

    Her not being your dream girl is a very different thing than her being the hideous CHUD calling her fugly would tend to imply. There's a spectrum and she likely falls on it somewhere in the middle. Kind of like the other spectrum some people in this thread likely fall on.

    Generation Kill

    Yeah, this is great.

    Officially on the companions are the worst thing since Phyrexian mana bandwagon. Shit's dumb.

    Yeah, I can see how someone wouldn't consider her a smokeshow, but fugly? wat.

    triple invasion was better and had some nice 5c green based decks and the U/B cantrip/probe deck although apocalypse was decent. Planeshift was pretty bad, Khans was awesome as a 3x format as well. My favorite card to open was Trail of Mystery even if it wasn't as good as like Wingmate Roc.

    MTG: Arena

    The new set is pretty awesome for limited. And human drafts is awesome. Companions are really stupid though. Not just uninteresting, but I think that they're actively bad for constructed magic.

    Yeah, i'll probably gut out the season, but I suspect I'll never see season 4 unless something drastic changes.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    There's a bunch of reasons I'm sure. They were doing the remote work thing which probably didn't help.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Packers and Vikings will likely be favored as well as the 2 Saints and Chiefs games that you mentioned. They'll probably win one or 2 of those though, but they'll probably lose at least 1 other division game and some other random game or 2. Just how the NFL generally works. 8-10 wins, maybe...

    Sounds about right. Both teams end up with 8-10 wins.

    That article doesn't really say anything that we don't already know. I'm not super excited about what they did with Kynes but Vileneuve's track record for movies is exceptional so I'll wait to freak out until there's an actual reason to. The comment about the Baron being a caricature is true...

    Yeah agnarr was way faster than Phinny. No idea about mangler, i never played there.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    The first couple of days on phinny were real bad. they actually marginally upped the xp during classic but it was still real bad.

    Better Call Saul

    It's just crazy to me that you can have a prequel show about a relatively minor character from another show be this good, then you have like Westworld which has a huge budget, high production value, and a great concept that just fails to deliver. The fact that the 2 shows are overlapping their...
