  1. This series needs it own post! This is the most fun I have had reading a new book series since A Song of Ice and Fire. The premise sounded pretty silly at first, and I have never read a LitRPG book, but I blitzed through the entire series (7 books) in 2 weeks, about 90 hours on Audible, and I wish I could relive it all over again. The story follows Carl and his cat, Princess Donut as they try to survive to the 18th level in an intergalactic game show, the World Dungeon. It is essentially a "video game" book as the characters gain new abilities, powers, and levels while exploring each level of the dungeon, which provides a new setting and objective in each book. The characters start very 2D before really getting fleshed out in subsequent books, but the constant throughout is the humor. This is the funniest fucking book I have ever listened to, multiple laugh out loud moments that made me look like a crazy person while listening in HEB. Extremely Surly brand of humor! I highly recommend listening on Audible instead of just reading; the voice actor Jeff Hays is absolutely incredible. It is one dude, but you would legitimately think that it is a full cast. The audio also adds bonus sounds, and there is an "immersion tunnel" version that is even more insane with sound effects (this one was a bit much for my taste). The narration blows all other audio books out of the water. If you are looking for a fun read that doesn't take itself too seriously, I promise you this is the one to start. It is soon to be adapted into a television show, and if done right, it has the potential to be one of the biggest IPs on the planet. It's Hunger Games meets Running Man meets South Park meets Fallout 4 all rolled into one easily consumable package. My entire friend group has been addicted, and I can guarantee the same here. God dammit Donut!
  2. Yep, y'all compile a list and I can answer
  3. Push boundaries like creating the nation's biggest and best NIL collective, spending more in NIL than everyone else in the nation, while killing the portal and ending with the #1 recruiting class in the nation, LITERALLY LAST YEAR? Other schools are pushing those kinds of boundaries? Oh wait, some 17 year olds made non binding decisions based on absurd potential numbers before fall camp has even started and you for some unknown reason let that ruin your entire mental state...but oh, ah yes, Texas and their vaginal tendencies. How the fuck have you not been crowdsourced yet you thin skinned puta, take your pants pissing over to Orangebloods
  4. This may have been the best offseason the rockets have ever had. Stone is an elite GM
  5. I fucking love it. Goodbye Jalen Green, I will not miss trying to defend you to the haters. Goodbye Dillon Brooks, I fucking hated signing you and was very wrong, you will be missed. HELLO KEVIN DURANT WELCOME HOME! Not giving up the 2027 or 2029 Phoenix picks plus hanging on to Sheppard, Jabari, Eason and Whitmore is crazy! I think there is another move left here plus should have room for the MLE even after resigning FVV and Adams Rockets just replaced the worst player in their starting 5 with a top 15 player of all time....lets fucking gooooooooooooooooooo!
  6. Quick trade thought: Stros should go after Keller, Reynolds and Frazier from the pirates. Keller screams like a dude that the Astros could sprinkle pixie dust on and turn into a monster, he has hella stuff. Frazier is meh but he’s an upgrade over Rodgers and is a lefty. Reynolds has a big contract but with money freed up next year it wouldn’t be an issue. Switch hitter as well and just steady as hell (slower start this year) Probably can’t afford it in terms of prospects but maybe a dezenzo, Myers/chas, blubaugh, melton, janek type package peaks their interest
  7. Just absolute stupid numbers that no one reasonable would ever pay. 7M over 3 years, peak Kyle Pitts at Florida probably isn’t worth that Promises…ask Jordan Addison how his USC promised turned out. USC is building the stupidest house of cards I’ve ever seen and that TE is just the most glaring example
  8. Not sure what this is but all the mentions are about EJ Holland. Guessing Shannon Terry saw EJs wedding photo finally
  9. Everyone in the Texas AD did, absolutely no one was prepared for this outside of Oregon and a group on this message board
  10. Supposedly 7M over 3 years. Absolutely laughable Absolutely not, these are just complete empty NIL promises to build momentum and then pray to god they stick. Its fucking stupid as hell. Riley probably also thinks that these promises will get the BMDs to join in to save face rather than see a mass exodus to the portal/decommittments. The money is not there whatsoever..I would think a majority of their BMDs are thinking about buyout money more than NIL

    Whatcha reading?

    WAYYYYYY more fun! The characters really become 3D and deep, I wasn't expecting the emotional depth that the later books have. Just a super fun and engaging read/listen the entire time. I finished all 7 books in 6 weeks, literally could not stop
  12. Until the Pancake Factory everyone thought NIL meant kids would just sell Tshirts with their face on them and sign autographs for Ebay

    Whatcha reading?

    Came here to post about Dungeon Crawler Carl. It's my new obsession, just convinced @immamac to try it out. Listen to the audiobook if you can, the narrator is fantastic, it feels like a full cast but its just one dude doing the voices. The entire series gets my highest recommendation. If I could buy stock in an IP, it would be this. Rights were picked up by Seth McFarlane and live action show in development, its going to be huge
  14. Vaughn will jump at the opportunity, I imagine. His dad played there. Would be a good hire for them. O'Connor gives me Jimbo vibes, lightning in a bottle championship with worsening results since (2023 being an outlier). I hope he is the hire
  15. Well, I can tell you that there was nothing consensual at that Mexican restaurant. A laundromat murder sounds more visually appealing
  16. a. I fucking love chilis...I know, its a major shocker that a suburban fat Dad loves a triple dipper. Sue me. Chilis does offer free chips and salsa if you are a member btw, just need to sign in with a phone number b. I love skillet queso but I really don't think it belongs in the queso category. Its closer to a chili than a real queso. Still delicious c. how dare you remind me of this I can 100% confirm this is what happened. Only differences was I believed he used a chip instead of a finger. Also I remember the 20k but I mainly remember trying to get the walk ons 1k each or something of the sort I don't remember the exact conversation that led to the pouring of the queso but in my PTSD nightmares you are staring me in the eyes while you do it... There is a direct link between what happened to Kitty Genovese and what happened at that Mexican restaurant that day We took bone marrow jameson shots, then Wulaw puked out black bile like he was expelling a demonic entity Nothing about that trip was good. I said that game was the second worst thing to ever happen on 9/11 I too lie about crimes I commit against humanity I made it to the point that they put in Casey Thompson, then I said fuck this and tried to leave. Got up too quick and too drunk and absolutely took a full header down the bleachers
  17. S2 E8 & E9 were easily the best Star Wars media since the original trilogy. Absolutely incredible! Sad we only get 3 more episodes
  18. Wait till you see Rick on the podcast https://www.youtube.com/live/FRNSUT48sLo?si=82e78Fg-3uHTrmQv
