I think Wildlands was so big in scale that they had some kind of rough around the edges stuff (melee was awful, vehicle handling was awful, etc) because it was a new thing, and it seems like they’ve fixed some of that.

I think the skillset is still useful, but the individuality of it has been devalued.

Well, at least unlike Adrian Peterson, his bankruptcy only extends to morals and not his bank account. 

I think I’d be more mad about this if I considered Schefter a journalist.

he have choked me before

Isn’t that the definition of being an accuser? As in, you are accusing someone of committing a crime?

Really? No mention about the fact that half of the city is trying to murder itself on a weekly basis?

Yeah of all the things to shit on about Baltimore, you pick Dundalk? Really?

What really happened here was that he started looking at those daily 5 figure fines and decided that he had more to lose sitting out than he had to gain by trying to force through a preemptive negotiation in a contract year.

How the fuck do you do this and not bash Detroit for being a shit hole? 

Well, the NBA was evolving away from iso ball domination at that point, true, but it was getting towards a pace and space approach that the Warriors would show 2 years later, and which was only coming into vogue at the time.

I like it, and I think that is a common position.

I wish it would have been Dropkick Murphys. They play that at all Boston sports events (local bands always get so much play everywhere, I know), but you get two bald 30 something Massholes whaling on each other with “Tessy” or “Never Alone” in the background would just be epic.

Yeah not sure if I’d call that a lucky day.

Not sure if you’ve tried Kaiserreich, but I’d recommend it. Fascinating focuses and options, and lots of small nods to real history here and there that keep it fresh. 

Because the other NBA owners wanted to avoid having to deal with Jim Buss and knew that he would be toast if it didn’t go through. 

Because football is fun?

Anti-WWE?

Oh look at the spice on this take.

The most interesting thing to me about the Crusader States was the fact that they were able to actually survive for as long as they did.
