    I hope this happens. Do not want the Redskins anywhere near him.

    Would have liked to have seen what they had planned for another season...but "Mira's Revenge" at the end was pretty cliche.

    It would be nice to have active people to play with in FF 14. I pretty much just come back to do the MSQ every couple of patches and to update my crafting gear.

    Solution to what is the question. For human colonization? Hell no. One of the top candidates to have very simple life in the subsurface ocean, maybe.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Tom Cruise is still a fucking nut job but I'll damn sure go keep seeing every MI he puts out. Same with Marvel despite anything Brie Larson does if I think it's batshit crazy or not. I do think it's weird to intro this character this close to Endgame, so might affect some of the numbers (I...

    Yeah for a number that high you'd have to figure they realized they had some actual evidence floating around like texts or emails or something. Then again who knows if the "sources" know anything about the actual settlement. Could be a leak by either side to try to sway opinion on the whole thing.

    My favorite part of the KT kills right before TBC hit was after the pre-patch when he started dropping shaman rings for us (we were Alliance)

    Honestly the whole 8 tanks with the requirement (and it was the 4pc everyone complains about) was overblown. We had nights where we didn't have all 8 tanks on and would have a dps warrior or two throw on their old t2 set and tank...even had a paladin act as 1 of the tanks one night (same night...

    Thaddius was pretty simple (at least as far as complexity) compared to stuff like Gothik, 4H, etc in Naxx. Just amazing how one person unable to figure out which side to run to could slow you down for wipe after wipe.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Eh, it felt pretty epic to clear Naxx 40. Although like Malakriss aid, it wasn't 15 carrying 25. More like 15-20 core people, another 10-15 competent in their role players, and the ~5 or so individuals you filled out your raid with. Of course once they cut it down to 25 man raids, you still...

    I'm scared that we'll trade up to go after Murray. I'm just not sold at all. If Lock was sitting there at 15...I wouldn't be too mad if we picked him there. I just want as much draft capital as possible for next year if we're going after a QB then instead of this season. Trading out of the...

    He'd likely at least be legit competition if all we're rolling into the season with is McCoy and Johnson. Personally I'm still all about us trying to trade down a ton this year and get another 1st if possible for next year's draft. I want a crack at that QB class. Get the draft capital you...

    I'd agree they made an incredible raid in Ulduar. The ability to turn on the hard mode either by flicking a switch or just beating fights in a certain way within the fight itself and not just by setting the entire raid instance to a certain difficulty was genius. It's funny we praise Wrath for...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Basically how it was. Think it's funny Viss and Doc's team won their first 8 games in a row, but were never in first, basically hovering around 3rd-5th the whole time. They had a couple 30 kill bombs, too.

    Never played V until Anthologies on PS1, but man that job system was amazing. I'm a story guy so V isn't close to the top of my best FF list, but the system sure is fun to play.

    Yeah it sounds pretty silly. Having played through the game, it was actually worse with the characters involved. But again, most of this stuff will just come down to personal taste. 8 was a dud for me. Gameplay and story. That love story never worked for me nearly as much. Even with the...

    Oh I recognized the vocab and capitalization change to try and make the 8 stuff seem more interesting. "walking places" was usually going on missions in 12, as well.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I can agree with it in general. Obviously FF1 was bare bones, and if you know the story, it was basically their last chance at having a hit game. I've never actually played 2 or 3, so I don't know how much innovations were in those games total. 3 and 5 clearly went for the big job system...

    Ugh...I know there is a certain subset of FF fans that loves 8 for whatever reason (many times it was their first FF). I'm not sure I'd say 8 alone started the downfall of the series, though. Even with 6 they started throwing in more steampunk elements going away from strictly traditional...

    Believe me, I think our window to potentially make another Cup run is about this year and next year tops, depending on what happens when Backstrom and Holtby's contracts come up. Also, any more lost seasons/part of a season might impact Ovechkin's chance to make a run at Gretzky's goal record.

    First reset isn't Week 1, so I'm good with that. The ability to game the system for that much gear that quickly is...not ideal, though.

    Not quite 50% of the time. Shit, the Redskins have won a higher % of their games the last 4 years than Pats Super Bowl % in last 19 years. Turrible.

    Expecting to clear every Mythic raid within its patch cycle I'd consider more than a hobby, yes. In the sense that if you're playing wow semi casually for fun...you shouldn't be expecting to just roll through and clear Mythic without putting a little work in.

    ? Agree on the Fetid shit, although that sure seemed like a typical Blizzard "we sucked dick at figuring out what was possible so we'll fix it" tuning fuck up, rather than an intended difficulty ramp up.

    Not sure I agree with the use of the word "hobby" here when talking about a Mythic difficulty fight, usually the final fight of a raid, too. If it's a "hobby", I would think *need to clear Mythic* wouldn't be a consideration for that type of player.

    Totally understand the point about 500 pulls. Although we're talking 500 mostly undergeared pulls. They do what they can to gear up, but they're basically doing it with bare minimum and probably much lower average ilevel across their raid than what most everyone else will have once they get...

    When the salary cap is $79.5M for 22-23 players... I know there are 41 home games, but only 2 teams in the league draw 20k+ per game. The Islanders are lowest in the league currently at 11,779 per game. I will say Seattle should probably be very successful as Vegas has been, so it'll likely...
