    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Yeah it sounds pretty silly. Having played through the game, it was actually worse with the characters involved. But again, most of this stuff will just come down to personal taste. 8 was a dud for me. Gameplay and story. That love story never worked for me nearly as much. Even with the...

    Oh I recognized the vocab and capitalization change to try and make the 8 stuff seem more interesting. "walking places" was usually going on missions in 12, as well.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I can agree with it in general. Obviously FF1 was bare bones, and if you know the story, it was basically their last chance at having a hit game. I've never actually played 2 or 3, so I don't know how much innovations were in those games total. 3 and 5 clearly went for the big job system...

    When you boil games down to just single line references to plot points...they all sound boring as fuck (both in this case).

    Ugh...I know there is a certain subset of FF fans that loves 8 for whatever reason (many times it was their first FF). I'm not sure I'd say 8 alone started the downfall of the series, though. Even with 6 they started throwing in more steampunk elements going away from strictly traditional...

    Brady drafted in 2000. Played in 1 game too. Not my fault he wasn't good enough to start then. 9 SB's in 19 years.

    Believe me, I think our window to potentially make another Cup run is about this year and next year tops, depending on what happens when Backstrom and Holtby's contracts come up. Also, any more lost seasons/part of a season might impact Ovechkin's chance to make a run at Gretzky's goal record.

    First reset isn't Week 1, so I'm good with that. The ability to game the system for that much gear that quickly is...not ideal, though.

    Not quite 50% of the time. Shit, the Redskins have won a higher % of their games the last 4 years than Pats Super Bowl % in last 19 years. Turrible.

    Hey anyone can get in those Mythic pugs to kill a boss or two. Long as their gear score is high enough.

    Expecting to clear every Mythic raid within its patch cycle I'd consider more than a hobby, yes. In the sense that if you're playing wow semi casually for fun...you shouldn't be expecting to just roll through and clear Mythic without putting a little work in.

    ? Agree on the Fetid shit, although that sure seemed like a typical Blizzard "we sucked dick at figuring out what was possible so we'll fix it" tuning fuck up, rather than an intended difficulty ramp up.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not sure I agree with the use of the word "hobby" here when talking about a Mythic difficulty fight, usually the final fight of a raid, too. If it's a "hobby", I would think *need to clear Mythic* wouldn't be a consideration for that type of player.

    Totally understand the point about 500 pulls. Although we're talking 500 mostly undergeared pulls. They do what they can to gear up, but they're basically doing it with bare minimum and probably much lower average ilevel across their raid than what most everyone else will have once they get...

    When the salary cap is $79.5M for 22-23 players... I know there are 41 home games, but only 2 teams in the league draw 20k+ per game. The Islanders are lowest in the league currently at 11,779 per game. I will say Seattle should probably be very successful as Vegas has been, so it'll likely...

    I didn't mean good as in good terms...but not the worst thing to get your franchise player signed. It is a little concerning that it's only 5 so they're only buying 1 year of UFA and it's still north of $11.5 a year. I thought the rumors were if it was 5 year deal it would be to keep it closer...

    Given how the game went, and apparently there was some NOLA strike on watching the SB (when it was something like the league's 7th biggest market share last year)...not surprising at all.

    I actually really liked last night's episode.

    Yeah Brady completed 68% of his passes and threw for 953 yards in 3 games? I get it their running game punched in the majority of their TD's, but just like last night he completes the deep ball to Gronk who goes down on the 1, they stuff it in on the run from there. Seems more situational that...

    Shit your guess is as good as mine there. The one sideline reporter kept saying she was told he was going to be majorly involved in their game plan too. If he wasn't hurt, I don't know why he wouldn't be in. McVay trying to be way too super smart thinking Belichick game planned for him and...

    Without Gurley or any running game, Rams don't exactly have a lot of weapons. None of Cooks/Kupp/Woods would be a WR1 on their own. Everett is okay at TE, but he's not a game breaker, either. Gurley catching balls out of the backfield is a huge part of their offense too. 1 catch for -1 yards...

    While I do agree there might be something to the Goff needing a lot of McVay's help to make him look great, I think people busting out the "LOL kid sux" just based on his performance in the Super Bowl against Belichick who had 2 weeks to prep for him are being a little harsh. Not like his O...

    Clarkson deal probably up there for competition for the absolute worst (worse than Zaitsev). It got done.

    The Ovechkin contract though is extremely different from any other comparable one in that he basically signed a 7 year deal and a 6 year deal together in one massive 13 year deal. The first "deal" within the deal paid him $9M a year, while the second half it went up to $10M a year. Leonsis was...

    He still threw for a good bit. Hit the big throw to Gronk for the only TD. Plus considering he threw for 3 TD's and 500 last year and lost, and two other losses in games where he scored a TD with under 5 minutes to go to hand a lead to his D which they couldn't protect...it evens out. Edit...

    Easy FG b/c they declined the penalty, and 10 point lead it's over. But I guess they'll try to sneak it or draw them offside?
