    NCAA Tournament Challenge Bracket - ESPN

    I have Michigan moving on and beating Louisville in the next round, that may be a little greedy but they've been so hot, reminded me a little of 8 seed UConn a few years back and I don't buy all the ACC hype.

    NCAA Tournament Challenge Bracket - ESPN

    You've got no complaints from me, I agree that it's been a really decent tourney so far. Vandy - NW: unnecessary foul at the end costing Vandy the game ND - Princeton: tight 5-12, Princeton had a chance of winning with 10 seconds left, missed 3 Middle Tenn - Minn: 5-12 upset (though not really)...

    NCAA Tournament Challenge Bracket - ESPN

    I think casuals love the upsets and chaos while purists want to see blue bloods play each other. It's a tough call because a Kansas-Kentucky match up or Kansas-UNC match up in the Final Four would be great drama and bragging rights, but watching Kansas flame out early is always rewarding, and...

    Lol crazy but AVGN hosted a playthrough of the game. I think there's another vid of him beating the bike level after being taught how by Motherfucker Mike.

    Walton is a love-hate for me as he does a lot of Arizona's games. His schtick is pretty good but it's starting to become more about Bill Walton than the game at this point. Please for the love of fucking god stop split-screening announcers and gameplay! I don't care about the announcers, I...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    My biggest fear with big, new releases is that somehow, I'm not going to like it. That the game just doesn't "speak" to me. Happened to me with W3. Beautiful game. Want to love it. Couldn't get over the 5-10 hour hump on 3 separate tries. EDIT: I do love me some BOTW though! Hope it's able to...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Only reason to buy it on Switch is if you plan on having a Switch. I bought mine for the kids, and I like being able to play Zelda at work. But everything I'm reading indicates the Wii U version is almost identical and in some ways better graphically. I would not buy a Switch to play Zelda. I...

    I cannot believe how big this game is. I've found 21 shrines and I read that there are They could have started and ended with just the basic runes and called it a day with heart/stamina/weapon/armor upgrades, but I keep finding new mechanics and upgrades. I've put a decent amount of time into...

    Exploring in BoTW feels like there's something around every corner and there almost always is. I keep getting sidetracked and pulled away from whatever it is I'm trying to accomplish. Heading for a tower, oh what's that, a shrine? Let's head there, on way to shrine and see a chest in the bottom...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    True. I like the dock for how simple/seamless it is but considering I picked up my Steam Link for $20, the price of the dock is insane. $49.99 seems like an appropriate price point and even that seems high.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Ya, that's pretty criminal, I was thinking it would be nice to have an extra dock in my bedroom and then I saw the price and was like, are you fucking kidding me? An HDMI out on the unit would have been great but then...no $80 plastic add on.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Sad to hear about all the issues and you'd have to be blind not to acknowledge the shortcomings of the system/launch (lack of games, no VC, etc). I haven't had any scratches from my dock yet and no problems to date, but I'm treating mine with kid gloves until I get the glass screen protector on...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    All other issues aside (which I personally haven't experienced), the form factor is great. I would love it if they would come up with an XL version of this thing. I went from the couch to the bathroom to my desk without missing a beat and it was pretty awesome.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Ya, it's not as difficult as Souls. I just meant there's a level of difficulty and ambiguity to the world that is Souls-like, but nowhere near as difficult. Sorry, I wouldn't let what I said about difficulty dissuade you. It's not hard, but there are times where you will die and think, "I don't...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I read a review (sorry can't remember which one) that compared this to the very first Zelda and I have to agree. Obviously mechanics and graphics are 100% not the same. But there is a feeling that you can interact with everything in this world and that there are hidden secrets everywhere waiting...

    Can I play it while I poop? Can I play it at work? Will my kids play it? Our requirements aren't very different at all!

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Lol, something like that. Closer to $1500 (3x $500, since that's what NS costs with a game and an extra controller). We took a trip to SD just after my wife gave birth to #2, drove from Phoenix which is about a 5 hour drive, and on a whim thought it might be fun to go to Disney while we were...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    For a second, I felt like I needed to justify my purchase to a bunch of neckbeards on a forum dedicated to killing dragons in a mostly defunct MMO. Then I remembered, I'm an adult and I really don't give a fuck. I enjoy it for what it is and my kids will LOVE it. I spent 3x as much to go to...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Switch review - picked it up this morning, played about 3 hours of Zelda today. Console history: most of the big releases since the 8 bit era, not a fanboi but I'd say the SNES was probably my favorite console all time. I've stayed away from most of the portables but had an old Gameboy as a...

    I can't help myself, had to pick this up for best Zelda experience. Walked into Target 8:02am, line was long, was about to turn around and say fuck it, saw red shirts and asked, scored ticket for last console. Looked like they had about 40ish and I was the last one. Manager said they expect...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Speaking of the tutorial, one of the l33t sploitz I remember reading about and doing was to go into the eqconfig file and change out the map name and you could use the tutorial to wander around any map in game. There were no mobs and it was janky because of clipping issues, but I spent hours...

    Had quit my Druid in original and decided to pick it back up when Kunark came out. Started over as Iksar Shaman because I wanted to start in Cabilis and see the new content right away, and couldn't imagine not having SoW (due to prior life as Druid). I hadn't yet found The Spirit Realm • Index...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Was just reading that Demon will have no carpet, no rear seat, 2 speakers, optional passenger seat. I'm not opposed to the idea behind the car, but definitely not a daily driver type car and definitely not for me. I can still appreciate what they're doing with it but I like the HC more for the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Truth: I was gonna get a plate that said BLKKAT, but it was more a college team reference. Daytona comes in both 5.7 and the 6.4 which is the model I drive, has the same size wheels and brakes as the HC plus CAI which gives it a few advantages over the SP. It's basically a non-supercharged...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Great take. I like the fact that I can throw the family in the car and cruise around town for soccer and the mall, but if I want to open it up when they're safely at home I can =) Still loving the Daytona, not sure I'd step up to the HC. I appreciate nice cars, but I'm far from a car...

    Sometimes gore spoilers could be used for a car accident or a sports injury (which I always watch as it pertains to my profession). I'm not asking for a #safespace but no one wants to see that shit and if they do, gross. If I'm the minority opinion here, then fuck me, but I doubt it.
