  1. There have been two DLCs since the game released almost two years ago.  The first one was not well received.  It makes the game notably more difficult and restricts the better of the two new units to only certain missions.  The second DLC was a lot better.  It features 4 new Assassin units from WH40K lore and they are all very different, and fun to play.  I think these might be on sale now, on Steam.

    The game was also recently ported to consoles finally, curiously absent the two DLCs.

  2. Yeah I don't think any of these Spring leagues will see success until they figure out a way to tweak the rules to allow scoring with bad QB play.  Because the QBs are always going to be bad.  

    San Antonio does a good job of supporting these teams relative to the other cities, they play today at 11 central at the Alamodome.

  3. I thought the first season was extremely slow paced and overall not very well done.  The timelines and cast changes on top of the weird stupidly similar names just made it a slog.  I'll be watching the second season but I don't expect much better.

  4. Was in the hospital unexpectedly from Oct to Jan.  Comedy Central had/has 4 hours of Seinfeld a day, in order.   Amazingly therapeutic.  IMO S1/S2 aren't on the same level as the rest but there wasn't a single episode where I thought it sucked.

    I am in awe of how well the series has held up.  I was at Texas 91-96 and recall watching on Thursdays before going out.  The show is as funny now as it was then and I appreciate it a lot more now.

  5. This show is very on brand for me and there was pretty much no way I wasn't gonna like it.  That said, every episode has been good and better than the last.  Not sure that is sustainable but wow what a grand slam this has been so far.

  6. Game came out in December and like all of Owlcat's games at release, it had lot of bugs and the content was less baked the further you progressed.  So having played the alpha and the beta I decided to wait a couple of months before playing release.  I had no game breaking bugs.  Most of the bugs I experienced were related to the very complex combat mechanics and things not behaving as expected.

    If you like WH40K this is must buy IMO.  I bet it gets a lot of people introduced to the universe, especially beyond a casual level.

    If you like party based, turn based CRPGs this is must buy.  I personally like it better than Owlcat's last game, Wrath of the Righteous which was CRPG of the year in a lot of places for 2022.

    If you do not like reading in video games do not buy this.  It has a LOT of words going on here.  There is some voice acting but it is almost exclusively to party characters and no one has their lines 100% voiced.  So we are talking read a book type level of words here.  You can skip it all but you shouldn't and if you are inclined to do so, again I would say this is just not the game for you.

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/2186680/Warhammer_40000_Rogue_Trader/ pretty sure it is on both PS5 and Xbox as well.  Steamdeck and gamepad support if you roll that way.

    Just started this after finding a discounted code for $30. I played the hell out of the originals and so far this is great. I completely suck at combat though, I can’t get past the first group of bandits in the chapel.

    This fight is actually pretty tough as far as Act 1 fights go because you are so low level if you do it organically.  I would say use barrelmancy.  There are a few and the enemies are conveniently hanging out next to them which is a them in Larian games.  Also stealth works well here, from range.  You can start combat from outside the door.

    I see Sweat quite a bit watching the highlights.  No one else though.

    You got a link?  Like I said I watched the whole thing and I didn't see a Longhorn helmet once.  Looking around this morning on google, YouTube and twitter, I don't see any mention of a Longhorn having played in the actual game yesterday.

    55 has no business being invited to the senior bowl. Sorry if that offends his family and fans of his school, but fact.

    He better hope a CFL team is desperate for a center...or more likely arena league.

    FWIW that was a payback rep from Sweat.  55 stoned him (as much as Sweat can be stoned, not sure that is the appropriate term here) earlier in the practice.

     

  10. Price going up on this, from $7 a month to $10.  That is like 40%?  And it was $5 a month like 18 months ago?  Do these people not understand how easy it is to pay nothing and just torrent the handful of shows you actually want to watch?

  11. I got the ads popup for the first time yesterday.  It seems to be ~40 seconds of unskipable ads at the start of your program.  Not terrible but it feels like a kick in the balls out of nowhere.  $36 a year to go ad free...not a lot but for some reason I don't want to give it to them.  I will probably add Prime to my list of streaming services I pirate.

    Is anyone reading the Horus Heresy series from the Warhammer 40k universe?

    I looked into it but was deterred by two things a) amount of books.  Seems like there are 50+ or so. b) price of the books.  WH40K books never seem to be discounted beyond a certain price point depending on the type of book it is.  I think all the Horus Heresy books are $10 each.

    I can't believe we're living in 2023 and there are still football stadiums that I can't buy beer in. Hell on earth.

    Shit has come a long way.  In the early 90s there was like 2 college stadiums you could buy beer...I think UH at the Dome and CU.
