    MLB 2015 Season

    Well, that didn't take long.http://m.mlb.com/news/article/149747...top-of-al-west They're still in good shape for the wildcard, but Minnesota is coming on hard.

    Too many games?

    The worst game for me for starting and not finishing has got to be EU IV. According to Steam I have over 800 hours into that game, I'm sure a portion of that is me leaving the game on overnight, or going afk for a while, but I can safely assume I've played about 600 hours of that game and I have...

    And up 6-0 today against the Tigers in the 3rd, it's fun being a Jays fan right now.

    As a Jays fan, let me try and feel bad for you and your 27 world series and unlimited budget.......nope can't do it. I'm at least as sick of the Yankees/Red Sox!

    MLB 2015 Season

    Yeah, the NL Central is brutal this year, the Cubs would be leading any other division except the AL Central with their record and it's only good enough for third place. They truly are cursed. The AL East is shaping up very nicely, with the Yankees and Jays tied now it should be a very...

    What do you do?

    Having a picture on your resume is standard here in Europe, at least in Switzerland. When I first moved here I resisted doing it thinking it was weird but then I was shown example after example of resumes with photos I gave in. I've also successfully found two jobs here with a picture included...

    Yeah this Casualstrength guy is a troll, he has to be. He claims everyone is being super selfish when he wants everyone to bend to his whims and is actually being super selfish himself. Even the name is a bit too clever. A pretty good troll but I would say a troll nonetheless.

    MLB 2015 Season

    Sweeping the Yankees in New York no less. Pretty hard not to get excited as a Jays fan right now, everything looks so good, but I'm sill waiting for the wheels to come off. First time the Blue Jays have been in first place past April since October 3rd, 1993, I'm just going to enjoy this ride...

    MLB 2015 Season

    I don't think New York will hand Toronto anything, but Toronto might just take it. Was a pretty playoffish game last night, and it's nice to see that the Jays can win the 2-1 games as well as the 10-9 ones. I'm jealous that you get to go on Sunday, should be a good game and atmosphere. Here's to...

    MLB 2015 Season

    Tulowitzki is hitting .353/.476/.653 since arriving in Toronto and Price had 8.0 IP with 11 Ks and 1 ER today. AA is looking pretty clever right now, all they have to do is actually make the playoffs now. The AL wildcard is wide open and catching the Yankees isn't out of the question, but they...

    MLB 2015 Season

    I'm pretty surprised about the Jays making that move for Price. In the past the GM has stated he won't trade prospects for short term rentals. Guess he changed his mind there! I'm also pretty excited, as was mentioned the Jays record and run differential don't really line up as one would expect...

    MLB 2015 Season

    Well, gotta say I'm pretty impressed with Tulo after his first game for the Jays. 3 for 5 with a homer, two doubles, 3 RBI and 3 runs scored, all of this while starting in the leadoff position for the first time in his career. However, even with him, we still need a pitcher or two to get us...

    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    Honestly, I think it even makes things worse, as people just get shit faced before even going into the stadium as they know they won't be able to get a drink once inside. Maybe with 100k and the right words in Sepp's ear we could get it changed..... As to the game, we had our chances at the...

    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    There is no alcohol sold at any Champions or Europa league games, it's a UEFA rule. It's meant to cut down on violence at the games but really it just makes the games shittier to watch in person. Ah well, I can live without a beer at the game for once. Edit: nil-nil at the half, neither team...

    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    Off to the stadium tonight to watch the Young Boys take on Monaco in the Champions League Qualifiers. I really don't rate our chances all that high, but you never know. On paper it's no contest, but I guess that's why they play the games. Only shitty thing is there will be no alcohol in the...

    MLB 2015 Season

    Tulo is a great player, I'm happy to have him and not sorry to see the backside of Reyes. Also managed to hang onto our two top rated pitching prospects according to Baseball America. Hoffman has already had Tommy John surgery and he throws 100 so he will probably burn out at 26 like Verlander...

    Full disclaimer, as a Blue Jays fan I hate pretty much anything having to do with the Yankees. That being said..... Perfect reason to cheat, who would suspect that the guy under that much scrutiny would be cheating! Probably found the newest variant of undetectable stuff out there and is...

    MLB 2015 Season

    I sincerely hope the Jays don't make a move for Cueto. They don't have a team that can make a deep playoff run, even with him, and it would be a 4 month rental at best, no way he re-signs in Toronto. But sadly you're right, it would be a very Toronto thing to do.

    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    Not that anyone here cares probably, but my local team, BSC Young Boys, got probably the worst possible draw in the Champions League qualifiers. The possible opponents were Shaktar Donetzk, Ajax Amsterdam, ZSKA Moscow, FC Br?gge, and AS Monaco. We ended up getting Monaco as our opponent, granted...

    XCOM 2

    I think the game will be good, but nothing great. Like you guys said, the modders will make this game right. The Long War just simply makes X-Com so much better. Games like Civ V, EU IV and others benefit from mods, but I would still play them without the mods. For me, no Long War makes the...

    XCOM 2

    That bullshit reactive thing you are talking about is a mech skill in Long War, they get a free retaliation shot at whatever unit shoots them first in a turn, no overwatch required, if they have the skill (I think my gunner mech does, but my assault and infantry ones do not). If you see that...

    XCOM 2

    Yeah for those 4 man extraction maps, I use a 16 base mobility assault with sprinter (so 20 mobility), only give them a pistol and no other items so they get another +5 to their mobility. A 25 mobilty guy makes those missions so so much easier, especially one who can run and gun so they can...

    I think he got booted because after the ump told him to get back in the box, he just stuck his toe just over the line into the box, pretty much directly provoking the ump after jawing at him too. I think it was justified.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I've poked around online and haven't really found any defintive answers to this question so I'm hoping you bros here can help me out. On the d3 wiki I read that the chance of ancient gear dropping scales from 1.5% to 10% when going from Torment I to Torment VI. Is there further scaling in...

    NeverGrind: EQ inspired, browser-based single player RPG

    Hey Mael, thanks a lot for the game, I have been really enjoying playing it. I just have one question for you, I seem to recall someone asking about mobile platform support for the game. Is the game supported for iOS? On my iPhone 6 I can log into my account, but when I try to enter the world it...

    2015 NHL Playoffs Thread

    My Flames are looking pretty good so far, Vancouver might take game 5 in Van but I think we wrap it up at the latest in game 6 at home. It sucks not being in Calgary though, especially as I live in Europe now and an 8pm start in Calgary is 4am for me, makes it kinda tough to watch the games...

    Fair enough, but that's on the cheap side of the lake in Z?rich, the other side gets more sun and is more expensive, I bet if I searched I could find something the same size and twice as expensive on the so called "Gold Coast". Guess this isn't really a cock measuring contest though, and I know...

    The Joe Rogan Experience

    Ari Shaffir was on the Adam Carolla Show recently and Adam made a good point about this whole Stern/Shaffir thing. Middle ground positions aren't interesting. Stern probably doesn't feel as negatively about Podcasts as the position he took on his show, but if he was to say some are good and some...

    The Deutsche Welle also offers a podcast called Langsam Gesprochene Nachrichten. It basically a news report and they don't pull any punches on the vocabulary but they speak it slooooowly which helps immensely in understanding.

    Ok I will take Mascha's word for it. I currently live in the german part of Switzerland, which is also where I learned my German, so it makes sense that I learned the southern German way. As I learned it Blazin, sehen would be more akin to see in english, while schauen is watch. Like a...
