    Yeah he for sure looked bad compared to old GSP. He lacked explosiveness and stamina. He gassed early and won against a mediocre opponent in sloppy fashion. That said, I think that a lot of that was his 'weight experiment.' He would be way more comfortable fighting at the next weight class...

    I don't know about that. Assuming they fought at 170: I would put the fight in GSPs favor, but it wouldn't be a given. Conor surprises every single opponent he fights with how good he is, and i don't think GSP would be any different. Moreover, GSP looked pretty bad in his win over Bisping...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The term gameplay is subjective for sure. To me, all those things you mentioned are just mechanics. Mechanics definitely contribute to gameplay, but, for me, gameplay is the totality of what it actually feels like to sit down for a few hours and play the game. Something like a comination of...

    Better Call Saul

    Tuco was fun to watch. They interviewed the actor that played him- he basically said Tuco was the polar opposite of his natural personality, so he was exhausting to play.

    You don't need a ton of money to have great gameplay. I can think of numerous relatively cheap titles that had great gameplay, as did EQ like Dullahan mentioned. But I'm not sure you can tell if a game has great gameplay just by looking at it or reading about it. Gameplay is really a hands on...

    It looks good. Looks functional. Animations still weak but they've indicated those will change. Looks very likely that it will at least launch. They key to all that stuff is the word "looks." Looks don't mean much. Ive played a lot of shitty games that look ok. Gameplay is king and it's...

    He got his wind back at just the right time. He really started to gas in the 2nd and I was worried he was done. Guy has the heart of a champion though. What he has lost over the years in explosiveness and the ability to physically dominate, he has gained in patience, timing, and fighting IQ...

    It's Indiana, not Illinois. And for the record, Indiana doesn't exactly have a sterling rep for being progressively open-minded about race relations. That said, i agree with you. The 70's changed a lot of stuff with race relations. By the 80's it still would have been a gossip-worthy...

    Yeah lol, last season it was holes in the walls and strings of lights draped everywhere. This season she turned her house into a notebook paper map of tunnels. Love it. Definitely a theme.

    S02 solid. Definitely worth watching. Lots of great new subtle nostalgia from Aliens to Children of the Corn. Once again they do a great job of delivering the nostalgia with just the right amount of touch, giving it to us with a nod and a wink rather than relying on it to support the story...

    Uh, speaking of this, is there a good place to find streams? Something like the NFL reddit page? Apologize if it's been posted or is easy to find. I always prefer just getting info straight from a trusted board than doing my own random searching.

    Listen, I just thought his quote was laying it on a bit thick, that's all. I think it was the whole thing about"wanting nothing more" that got me lol.

    Lol please, tell that to someone new to the boards. Anyone that has been around since the old fohguild days knows that anything Brad does brings about a 50/50 split of people that want to worship him and people who want to crucify him. For every Convo defending him there's a Twobit Whore on...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Rogean has stated multiple times he ultimately intends to run two blue servers. For example: open a new server, run it through the progressions, once it gets stale, merge it with the old server. Rinse, repeat. Basically always have a fresh progression server. I made that suggestion to him...

    X-Com-alike pen and paper game?

    Starfinder is the sci-fi Pathfinder setting. Haven't played it, but if it's as well put together his Pathfinder, it's probably pretty good. Fading Suns is a pretty close match to Xcom. Even has psy stuff. As someone else suggested, Shadowrun could pretty easily be made to fit the Xcom setting.

    I've never seen anything done by Ken Burns that isn't worth watching. Really looking forward to this. Never seen a better doc than his Civil War series. I rewatch it every few years.

    Read the thread but still not sure there is a "best option" for me. I'm streaming directly from my computer to my tv- no roku, no kodi. I'm not a student, but can probably get access to a student ID number. I don't mind paying up to $100 for the entire season, but I'm not paying more than...

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    It would have little such effect. Boxing pundits would simply say Floyd lost because he was old, didn't take the fight seriously, and Mcgregor got lucky.

    Yeah Bro, go to a sports bar. Otherwise, your $200-- it's gone.

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    This is the only fact that could make this travesty interesting. That said, I don't think Mayweather minds looking bad as long as he gets his money and his 50-0 record. Boxing already looks bad.

    They've got some good ideas for sure. It's an overused expression, but EQN was going for revolution and VR is content with evolution. Evolution is always safer/easier/cheaper.

    I'd guess we will have some sort of mechanism for accountability in the future for KS- if KS expects to continue to exist there's going to have to be. The whole concept of being able to panhandle for funds with nothing more than promises and then fail to deliver while facing zero repercussions...

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    Sure. I'll take your word for it. Seems to me that the line between "cosmetic" and "p2w" gets blurred really fast. Cash shops start out promising only cosmetic and then slowly but surely start slipping toward "gameplay affecting" and then eventually pay to win. After all, when cash shops are...
