  1. As I suspected, weather was nice, but that's about all I can say positive. I sat in 3 different stands across 4 hunts and never saw a deer. My old man tagged along and saw 2 doe Saturday morning. That was it. Very frustrating season, especially for me. Sat in a stand 11 or 12 times over the course of the season and never once saw a buck come to a feeder (with the exception of a young cull buck on the evening before the season started. Wouldn't have been legal regardless). Rest of the lease didn't fare much better. 1 decent buck, 1 doe, and 3 pigs killed this year, despite guys going out hunting significantly more often than past seasons.
  2. Crane says Astros recently added scouts in Tokyo, Seoul, and Taiwan.
  3. Tatsuya had a brief prepared statement in English: "What's up H-Town? I'm Tatsuya Imai. I'm ready to chase a world championship."
  4. Imai signing definitely came out of nowhere. As recently as this morning people were assuming NYM, NYY, PHI, CHC...etc. Chandler mentioned on the podcast today that not only was he blindsided by it, his sources in the org didn't even know it had progressed much beyond initial conversations with Boras.
  5. RE: sturdier, thicker chips. Kroger actually makes a store-brand bag that are pretty great for dipping in queso or making nachos.
  6. Extremely meh season at our lease in East TX as well, and it definitely wasn't due to a lack of hunting or insufficient prep work. We had feeders running well before the season started. Deer never settled into any kind of predictable pattern. Occasionally they'd swing by at feed time, but more often than not would wait until well after dark. Despite showing up on cameras at least 25 different days the past 2 months, not a single one of us ever laid eyes on the big buck roaming our property in the flesh. Even the hogs started avoiding coming out during shooting light. Consistently above-average temperatures obviously didn't help, and yeah, I have to assume that there were plenty of other food options. Brush still looking like what you'd except to see in early November rather than late December. Not a fan of these La Nina years. I'm heading up to give it one last stab this weekend, but have little hope of coming home with anything. At least it'll be nice and cool and dry.
  7. Great game. One of the most engrossing RPG I've played in years. Picked it up back during Thanksgiving when it finally went on sale and am still playing through some of the post-game content. About 45 hours on my current save file. Haven't even touched the additional areas they added in the "Thank You" Update they released a few weeks ago after winning GOTY. Not like they invented parrying in an RPG, but it's so integral to the battle mechanics that you can't beat certain bosses without mastering it. Feels great to retry a tough battle after half a dozen failures and nail the parrys once you've got a feel for the attack timing. And having the option to immediately retry battles without backtracking is such a user-friendly mechanic that more games should adopt.
  8. Been just nasty since Saturday afternoon and now we're looking at 6 straight days of this 20-degrees-above-average bullshit ahead. Not gonna cool back down until Sunday afternoon. Absolute horseshit to have this weather in late December. Was thinking about running up to my deer lease after Xmas, but there's currently a high of 80 with 78% humidity forecast for both Friday and Saturday. Pass.
  9. Per Chandler and Ken Rosenthal, we're deep in talks for a 3-way trade with Rays and Pirates: Stros get Mike Burrows from Pirates Pirates get Brandon Lowe and Jake Mangum from Rays Rays get Melton and Brito from Stros Burrows went 2-4 with a 3.94 ERA in 96 IP as rookie last year. Would have 6 years of team control.
  10. Hell of a solo performance:
  11. Season 2 premiere is tonight. They moved it up a day.
  12. Played through the main storyline in a weekend. Enjoyed it, but wasn't in a huge hurry to play any of the extra content. I'm sure I will sometime soon when there's a gap in my library.
  13. Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic (by Casey Hudson, creator of Mass Effect, will be a single player action RPG)
