    Game theory is so good now that games get solved so quickly. So you balance it with some amount of randomness, but the how and where that gets placed matters. The wild west of card games is long gone.

    Same people were doing it at 4 in the afternoon. It's not like it wasn't almost always the same handful of people.

    Players Union agreeing to the franchise tag was to begin with was pretty wild. It doesn't affect most players though so it sort of fits the whole we'll give up x, y, and z for a little more base money thing.

    Yeah 100 percent team matters. If Bell goes to The Raiders or Jets or something he's probably going to not be all that good. I'm sure he'd be a massive upgrade for either team but look what happened to Shady!

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    TV Littlefinger is a huge disappointment in general compared to book Littlefinger. Not to dive deep into the book vs show shit but Littlefinger was my boy in the books and he's not nearly as interesting in the show.

    Jon and Dany are going to die Joan of Arc style. Tyrion wins, even if it should have been Littlefinger.

    People can say all that kind of negative shit about him but if he joins some team next year and rushes for 1400 yards and catches 70 balls nobody is going to give a fuck.

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    I mean it's entirely possible that both Conner and Bell are really good. Also, most backs require a half decent team to shine, if they're bad enough they almost all look like turds. I mean the Cowboys aren't particularly good, and they do load up the box against them, but at least they still...

    Or Wabulbus or whatever his name was always dieing in West Wastes when trying to get to ToV. It's unreal how bad people are at getting around in this game.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    People had some issues with Grizvok, some of which were valid, but it wasn't the right way to handle it, and then the rest of the guild kind of got swept up in it. Korillo took over, but quit shortly afterwards and Astral took over. Not enough competent officers so he basically was doing 90...

    Phinny is in SoF now and I think GoD was the best expansion as TLPs go. Just so much to do.

    But you need a scene where Littlefinger is explaining how a zombie dragon breaths blue fire in front of some whores because otherwise people will assume it's ice or something even if it looks like actual blue flames.

    That's fair, but man those 90s teams were so good.

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    Not sure about them being cold, but they're garbage. 2-5 in conference and losing record overall. They're not exactly what they were in the 90s under Bowden or even more recently under Fisher.

    2018-2019 NBA Thread

    Fultz value right now is probably pretty low. Ideally they should have traded him last year or whatever, but hindsight and all of that.

    NBA Jam not getting the love it deserves. Board too nerdy. Wilkins and Augmon so good. Also Robinson/Elliott.

    Of those listed I probably spent the most quarters on NBA Jams and Mortal Kombat. Joust was first for me though, absolutely loved that game as a kid. Gauntlet and Double Dragon need some love too.

    Penny Dreadful

    While I wouldn't quite call it barely watchable I generally agree with this sentiment. Setting, cast, subject matter, production value all seemed good but it wasn't as good as it should have been.

    I mean it's likely that show will be medium to bad, but Rebels was good so maybe there's some hope that it's not awful with the different format. Expectations are low though.

    Good pass catching RBs are on the upswing. Feels like all of the best teams have one. That said obviously in the Salary Cap era all the best teams have players that are significantly underpaid.

    The counter to this is that all the good teams pretty much have backs that are excellent receivers right now.

    This is probably going to be shit but with Alien, Blade Runner, Blackhawk Down, and The Martian he can do whatever he wants and all is forgiven.

    Bell is a much better receiver than Conner and creates more matchup issues, but yeah Conner has been doing work.

    Military Service

    You're not likely to get one if you're blind in an eye but yeah. We had a guy in my Divefarer class that had many, many knee surgeries from wrecking his ACL playing college football. Reasonably sure that dude ended up getting his trident, guy was a beast.
