    Not sure this is the right place for this question, but anyone got a suggestion for a casual survival/crafting type game; solo probably would be best, but casual multiplayer might be okay too. I want something in the vein of Rust, just without the retarded as shit PVP (I don't want to log off...

    It was just terrible to watch. You get one minute with a confessional of hers where she acts like the game is falling apart around her and she can't trust this person and this person, and then the next you have Cochrane there asking her, "How's the game going?" and her response is "Peachy." It...

    I'm not as big into competitive FPS's now that I'm older, but damn does this bring some nostalgia. I was in high school and my grandfather gave us some money to get my first PC. We went to a Gateway store and they had a demo machine with Quake 3 on it. I was immediately hooked (I think it was...

    Possibly they got bought out by someone else? There was also some crazy post on Reddit about how all the players left for another, Euro-based, team, and Sunsfan just said fuck this, I'm out; giving up his stake in the team (or being bought out by the co-owner?).

    Yeah, like I said, he's terrible at the game. And worse, he blows up the game of everyone around him. They'd be smart to target him as soon as possible. It'll be hard to get rid of him with 2 idols now though.

    What a crazy episode. I got all excited that Debbie was odd man out and got the Exile twist, and then that was a twist. Fucking Shamalamadingdong'd me. And worst of all, all that advantage was likely wasted on Debbie because she's too fucking arrogant. And then Tai being absolutely fucking...

    So I believe the Caps are 1 win (or maybe OTL) away from clinching another President's Trophy. Hopefully that works out better this year in the playoffs.

    The "war breaks out" scenario means you've got way more to worry about than your investments. If we get to the point where you can't access your investment accounts, it means the economy is gone and I hope you invested in guns and ammo.

    Just how liquid are you talking? Throw it in a Vanguard fund. It doesn't even have to be an index fund, choose a fucking bond fund. As long as you can float yourself for a week with credit cards or something, you should be able to access the account. It's not as liquid as cash, but it's close...

    Me neither. Even in Redskins vs Cowboys games he seems pretty unbiased. Buck on the other hand is the worst.

    It'd be a weird "prank" to release a full episode. Shit, prank me every day! And I downloaded it too, mostly because I didn't want to try to figure out when their streaming episodes started/ended. Didn't want to spoil it.

    This fy Tusk is disgusting. Edit: Holy shit. Game 3. Fy on Rubick solo killing Sniper and then TP'ing out with ES bashing him like a boss. Edit 2: No idea how that turned around so fast. That was like a 25k swing in net worth.

    Hmm, yeah, looking at the remaining players is kind of depressing. The last 3 weeks with Caleb, Malcolm, and JT really took a big hit to my "players I give a shit about" list. Andrea, Hali, and Brad are probably the only ones I'd still root for. And maybe Zeke, too. Ozzy is fun to root for, but...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Eh, it started off with a few good ones, but there is meaning to a lot of those. Like, cover corner is a guy who plays man really well. This would be opposed to a guy who plays better in zone. Or, down hill and north/south runner. Look no further than Barry Sanders for a RB that wasn't those...

    I'm a little surprised by Sandra as well. She's playing quite boldly. Like, eating a jar of sugar and gloating to the other tribe members. I understand not all of them were eating sugar, but if I'm fucking starving and there's 800 calories of sugar sitting there, I'm going to be fucking livid...

    Michaela is just an angry black woman. It's got nothing to do with being brought back too early, that's just her personality. And it's the reason like 95% of black women get voted out on Survivor; they can't control their emotions/anger. I actually think Cirie might be the only one who doesn't...

    Got one that I'm not quite sure of the answer to. With recessed lighting, does the housing need to be wet rated, or just the bulb? It seems like housings don't have a wet rating, and most of what I've found says, "make sure the trim is wet rated." I used some when I did my gym install that I...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Yeah, I still don't get the rule that you can't line up across from the center. It just seems completely arbitrary. May as well make a rule that a corner can't line up across from a tight end, because reasons.

    Liquid is definitely playing like shit. Lots of bad initiations or chasing kills that aren't quite there. Newbee has been pretty uneven in their games. Not sure who else is in that group besides NP and IG.

    Maybe this will mark the point where we finally stop pretending gambling and steroids are going to ruin the NFL, and acknowledge that they're something that will be ever present (and easily arguable that they're essential) to professional sports.

    I don't think Sandra has any chance of winning. No one is going to vote for the only two time winner.
