  1. Just finished it thought it was great.  Never touched the video games.  A couple of questions spoilered below.
    Spoiler

    Ghouls just live forever and as long as they consume drugs they stay normal and not zombies?
    How is Moldaver still alive if she was alive before the war?

     


    Pretty much. The drug thing is new, but it appears to maybe just be radaway (an anti-radiation drug prevalent in the games). It just prevents them from going feral.


    On the second point, my guess she got into a cryo chamber in one of the vaults. Either in vault 31 or possibly elsewhere (this concept also exists in Fallout 4 the game, in vault 111 where you start out).

     

  2. My kids are going to Doc’s early Saturday for Record Store Day. I guess they release short run albums? Any of you have experience with this? I was looking on eBay and it seems you can get most from previous years close to same price.

    Some are RSD only, some are ‘RSD First’ with a limited release (usually a color vinyl variant) on RSD that will have a larger release later.

    These days it’s mostly a bunch of crap and most of it you can find later, but there are sometimes gems here and there.
  3. I keep being afraid to open this thread because I'm enjoying this but it's slow going with my life these days. I think I'm up to the 4th episode now. Requesting that big spoilers or plot discussion gets spoilertagged for a bit longer at least.
     
    A nod to the videogames i enjoyed in the first shootout scene that i saw was the zoom/slow-mo effect. It took me a second to remember that that mirrors the VATS (vault-tec assisted targeting system) gameplay in the game.
    All this desert stuff, I hope I hear this song at some point
     



    I think that was the Jet he took. But maybe an homage either way.

    And we definitely need some Big Iron!
  4. Not to mention building cars to completely different rulesets. Unless you want to dilute F1 even more by making spec cars or having them slower and even more basic to be the same as F2 cars, the idea is a total non-starter.

  5. They don’t need to bring him up to F1 yet to keep him as a Mercedes F1 driver.


    Maybe not (I don’t know his contract situation), but that is exactly how they lost Max in the first place, since Red Bull offered to put a 17 year old Max in a Toro Rosso (after skipping F2).

    They obviously know it’s a risk.
  6. But, outside of that, it is very early and the kid is 17 and skipped F3 entirely. It is not unlike measuring hockey or baseball prospects in their league with relative age factored in.

    The kid could be a Connor Bedard or a Mike Trout, or he could be one of hundreds of prospects that don’t live up to their hype. We will just have to wait and see.

  7. TP’s typically cover a bit for drivers. This statement, though… “didn’t know where he was on track”? Sargent may not make it to Miami. 

    Shit, there is already a rumor that Antonelli may replace him starting in Monza (Antonelli turns 18 the week before that, and that is the age for acquiring a Super License now).
  8. Jay’s in Abilene. Was really damn good. It was Jay’s birthday celebration with live music and stuff though (which I was not aware of), so it made the wait pretty long (almost 2.5 hours). But, at least it was tasty.

  9. The problem is that he slowed, then accelerated, and then slowed again (because he messed up and did it too early). If he had only slowed once, even if way early (which would just have been a lift and coast), they wouldn’t have given him anything.


    Going to quote myself I guess since it keeps coming up. It’s all in the telemetry.

    Last year at AD, Alonso only lifted very early in front of Lewis, he didn’t slow (and downshift) then accelerate and upshift then slow again. The multiple instances of slow fast slow is a very important distinction.

    Backing up the pack by driving generally slowly is also not the same.

    The stewards explain all of this pretty clearly in the decision document. It was erratic while also deemed potentially dangerous.

    Max of course should have gotten waaay more than 10 seconds. Penalties are supposed to finally be harsher this year, though.

  11. He had to come up with some kind of excuse.  I'm sure his story will evolve.  Brundle nailed it when he said that he brake checked Russell. 


    Yeah, he didn’t mention it to the stewards or in his post race IG post, so he knew what he did. He obviously didn’t intend for Russell to crash, but he does like to push the rules to their limits and sometimes things happen when you operate in that area.

    Also note that the penalties are harsher now than they would have been even just last year.
  12. I know I'm not a longtime fan like lots of you, but this Max domination has killed my desire to watch F1.  Knowing the race is over after turn 1 sucks.

    Well, at least Red Bull is about to fall apart internally.
