    I hadn't even heard of this show until several weeks ago. Went and watched it all and just finished tonight. I'm incredibly shocked that this show doesn't get more press. It's easily one of the best shows on TV; not just right now, but ever. I have a hard time saying certain shows are better...

    I feel like we've usually done them at the beginning of the thread. But then, I'm pretty sure we've done the starts of the threads right before preseason starts the last 3+ years. AFC North: Bengals East: Patriots West: Broncos South: Colts Wildcards: Chargers, Dolphins NFC North...

    The spoonfuls are selling for like 4g in beta now. It sucked the first time I took my boat out in my late 20's and spent damn near everything I had to get it built. Got blown up the first trip and they were selling for 10 or 11g.

    The more games I watch, the more I'm souring on the NFL. I don't like the new rules for this high flying offense bullshit where the defense basically gets to stand around while the QB slings it. I also want to take back what I said about RG3 having good football instincts. He doesn't step up...

    It's free to play. The items from the cash shop just happened this week and has quite a bit of backlash. We'll see if it remains (it probably will). Hopefully it's overblown how bad it'll be though.

    Pretty much this. I can see this one lasting at least 3 months, which is about 2 months longer than I generally last in other MMO's these days before I realize how awful they are. It could potentially be much longer. The PVP is a blast. As long as there's a decent community to PVP still, it...

    I watched the first 4 or so series and saw that both teams are still dumpster fires. So I went to the gym instead. I will say the Bills defense looks damn good, but I'm not sure if that's because the Bucs are so bad. Either way it won't matter because their offense will suck so bad that the...

    This is the only cash shop item that really bothers me. It makes it feel like regrade scrolls will be required to gear up. I'm pretty sure you were referring to the 40+ gear as "lower tier" but I had issues with trying to do my own gear in beta. I decided, hey, I wear leather so I'll go ahead...

    With the crazy honor events going on recently I finally got Mifune and Luna within 2 days of eachother. I rolled Eze to start (breaker!), and had 2 Lance's drop so far. No sign of Vargas or whoever the fuck the water starter is.

    I don't want to do anything that will burn me out, so I figured Auroria would be easy enough. Crafted seems like it'd take a while to afford. And that place to the far south-east will be where I end up going at launch. As far as land goes, PRX already has a place picked out, so I'll end up...

    I think I'm going to use this beta to get to 50 and attempt to get a small glimpse of what to do for end game. Where do I go to start with? Does Auroria have mob dropped gear, and is it worthwhile before doing the token farming thing (which I won't do during beta)? Then once open beta hits...

    I agree. While Cowboys fans may make the franchise a ton of money, they're pretty disloyal and bandwagony for the most part. A team like the Browns who are an absolute train wreck and still have a massively dedicated fan base deserve to be higher on any list than Dallas. I think using stadium...

    I bought the AC version of that earlier this week. Really liking it so far. The only complaint I have (and the only complaint I've seen) is that there's no fan in it. So it gets quite warm. I should pick up a new SSD soon. I've got a 32GB one in my HTPC that really needs replacing, since it...

    Fucking Super Metals really needed two wait 2 or 3 days. I have absolutely no zel (21k). So while I'd love to hit it a few times, I can't since I can't fuse anything. I guess I could just keep expanding my box, but that sucks.

    Best show soundtracks?

    I haven't even got a clue if it was any good, but I'd guess that "My So Called Life" probably had a good one. And thinking of shows from that era I also think "Dead at 21" probably did too. Edit: Fuck, missed a big one. Beavis and Butthead.

    Just heard this one on Hard Knocks. Kind of funny that Raconteurs was posted just above this, because I was going to post how the song kind of reminds me a Jack White type song with a female tilt (but not like Dead Weather). It also reminded me a bit of Lana Del Rey too. Haven't listened...

    Finally got my first 6* this morning; Dean. I'm almost fucking broke now though. 500k for the 6* upgrade. Still have an extra 9 cost on my current squad, too. Unfortunately, my current squad also only has one unit that can still be evo'd (Eze), as the rest don't have 6* versions right now. I...

    Oh, my bad. I was thinking of the glider prices, which are like 2.2k. I really have no clue what I want to use my credits on. I originally figured I'd spend pretty much all of them on expansion scrolls, but the amount of people selling them on the AH was obscene. I can get by for a week or...

    That's a ton of credits to spend on something that'll basically last me for the head start (Lilyut for 10g should be easy enough, and mount gear starts dropping in the 2nd dungeon). While I anticipate it being crowded at head start, I doubt it'll be so ridiculous that 1 meter/sec will be the...

    My first week in the gym I think I benched 55 or 65. Within 6 weeks I could do 135. It just takes time to develop. This was after I had been in the Army for 6 years. You'd think after all the pushups, dips, rope climbs, and other retarded crap you do in the military I'd have been better off.

    That's a pretty dumb statement. RG3 may not be a world beater, but there are plenty of shitty QB's that still start for NFL teams. RG3 is still probably an average to above average QB depending on the day. That is, unless you're saying he'll be out of the league because of injuries. In that...

    RG3 is a better athlete than Luck. It's not even close. He's got a better arm and football instincts. But he can't read an NFL defense to save his life and his decision making process is shit. He's basically an upgraded version of Vick, although with better life decisions. JFF on the other...
