    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Especially THAT episode...if Jorah goes out and gets wrecked in the first scene, I agree completely it would have set an all bets are off vibe that would have been great especially with a few more main deaths.

    That rebuild went super quick. Have to see if Kakko takes time to adjust, but man...Metro might be very, very interesting this coming year. I hate that your GM is killing it.

    yeah either have Sam in the crypts to protect his role as future story teller guy or have him be heroic and die, not whine like a bitch among the bodies and live.

    I agree it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the parade of Bruins' fans leaving Game 7.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    On one hand, I felt the death Jorah ended up having on the show was pretty good in that we at least got to see the emotional effect on Dany...but I think I would have liked his version a whole lot better with a lot more deaths, and not just a few semi major guys with a few red shirts.

    That is pretty much what I'm expecting. A lot of us are looking at the Berhalter hire and wondering if Tab Ramos would have been a better choice, but I'm not sure it would make much of a difference.

    Wondering if the 4th year helped bring the cap hit down a bit. He might have still been able to get something closer to his last deal if he'd waited. Or I guess he liked it in DC.

    No of course that makes sense, it's just like when the materia cost in scrips came down for crafting/gathering IV's and V's this expansion. I'm not sure if they'll keep IV's as yellow scrips, cause you figure they'll swap V's to what IV's cost were in reds but to yellows, and lower the cost for...

    Caps sign Hagelin, 4 years, $2.75M a year. Assuming he doesn't lose his skating, I'm okay with this. Kind of surprising, he was making $4M a year last year. Not that he deserved that still with his production, but signed pretty quickly.

    They were going to have to change the currency anyways for those old books, as red scrips will be gone I assume with expansion and yellows will become the new reds and we'll get greens or something to be the next "high level" scrip.

    That's what it's supposed to do, but since everyone just looks for the minimum they need to HQ through macros anyways, I think it might just end up reducing the need for HQ mats even further, unless they actually make raising quality through crafting more difficult. It might have been a better...

    SB's crafting has definitely been easier, and I hope you're right that they make it harder to raise quality through actual crafting. As you noted, macros at the end game will always be about HQing with as little HQ mats as possible, I just worry the 75% thing from mats will just be an across...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Not sure I'm happy with the crafting changes to allow 75% HQ from mats. If it functions just as a nerf across the board making things easier I'm not sure what the real benefit is b/c they made some noise about wanting to make it more attractive for gatherers to gather HQ mats...but I think that...

    Should have seen Max's chat the night that video is from, he was talking about how Jessie is basically hitting on Cloud the whole time during the bombing run. Jessie I'm guessing will basically be the new choice for the fanbois from this installment, or at least another choice.

    4th edition and the Spellplague was...not well received and changed the setting quite a bit. 5th looked to roll back some/most of the unpopular changes, though not exactly to the same point things were previously with a lot of the stuff they undid.

    No different really than noting which date of the year will be the most active for different meteor showers. Probably not a high percentage, but definitely a subset of people that enjoy knowing when these events happen.

    Guess it's been too long since the Penguins let Crosby do it which caused him to get multiple concussions in like 4 days. You'd think teams would learn.

    The other spot the Warriors lost it was the foul line. Curry and Klay were 16-16 while the rest of the team was something like 5-14. That's just laughable.

    I don't know if it's rare enough to be considered unusual, since "closest point" (or at least, relatively closest) happens roughly once a year (13 months), but the distance between the two planets varies from ~4.2 AU to ~6.2 AU. Not every "closest point" is the actual closest point, either, as...

    I mean I think it's fair for people to point out Klay getting hurt with ~14 minutes to go in the game and they're winning when he goes out might have had an effect on it. Even missing the rest of the game he was still leading scorer last night with 30 points. They win last night, it's a tie...

    Durability is a thing, but it's mostly an "achievement" in the longer view of a player's career. Tom Brady has been remarkably healthy for his career, but even he missed a season to a torn ACL b/c of one bad/unlucky hit. The play where Klay got hurt probably happens X amount of times all year...

    I always liked that a lot of the backstory for Cetra/JENOVA stuff and Cloud/Zack/Sephiroth/Vincent story lines required you to check out hidden areas or dig into spots in areas you already visit. Maybe that's why a lot of people back in the day "didn't get" the story.

    Caps making moves already. Traded Niskanen to Philly for Gudas, with Flyers retaining 30% of Gudas' salary. Helps create a little more cap space for some of our free agent forwards, also Gudas is a free agent after this year, which is kind of a big deal because Niskanen had 2 more years left...

    I'd like to see that 4th quarter with Thompson still around, but shit happens. Think they're still an all time great team. Why would you set up for a 3 on that play though, rather than look for a nice basket down low.

    Not much happened in A1S, and having to spam just that fight over and over and over seems way worse to me than bunch of different NM's you cycle. But if you basically have decided it sucks, there isn't really going to be any convincing one way or the other. Just don't do it.
