  1. I thought POE was pretty good. Setting took some getting used to but it was definitely BG3 in spirit. POE 2 even better, for me, I love the nautical/archipelago setting and the whole pirate vibe.
  2. Just imagine if those three games aren't canceled thanks to Covid. We almost certainly win all three which results in a 10-3 season. We moving on at that point? Don't think so.
  3. This dude is fucking awesome.
  4. Game came out about 3 weeks ago now. If you ever played BG2 or Pillars of Eternity 1/2, this feels like that. A little overwhelming to start even for CRPG vets, in that there are literally like 130 classes, and multi classing on top of that. If you liked the first Pathfinder Kingmaker you'll love this one, IMO its better than the first and definitely more polished at release. That said it has another meta game slapped on top of it...a lot of people didn't like the Kingdom management in the first game and this game has a similar mechanic for leading a Crusade, thankfully you can turn it off and never have to worry about it if you don't like it. Also this one has TB and RTWP out of the gate whereas Kingmaker needed a year+ to get a TB mode.
  5. I think Arkansas can win but not because they are a good team, they aren't. They have been dogshit in the SEC and there is no reason to believe they are good this year. Way more likely Texas just had another coach shit the bed than Arkansas is a legit team. But aggie is also bad. Their ranking last year, and this year, is fool's gold. Also despite the recent series record, the games between these two are always close. I'd definitely take Arkansas and the points.
  6. Clickbait. I didn't love the cast. Or the acting. Or the...script. But the story and pacing kept us wanting to watch the next one every single time an episode was over.
  7. I thought so...the NFL does, I'm always seeing top speed stuff posted and they have a site for it (and other stats) nextgenstats.nfl.com but maybe they just analyze video and can get top speed that way.
  8. Texas has those speed tracking things right? I need to know how fast he was going on his TD run and also the punt block. Getting home lined up that wide was pretty impressive. Great scheme for his speed there. It's so refreshing to win on special teams.
  9. the yrsports.stream sucks from a mobile or a TV browser. You need to watch it from a PC or laptop and then stream it to your TV from there if you can. That said, its dying for me every 10 minutes or so, refresh fixes it but its a pain in the ass. Game does not seem to be on sportsurge.net either.
  10. https://sportsurge.net usually has everything.
  11. I was surprised because Arkansas is not a good team and really haven't been since leaving the SWC. They are in the bottom half of the 14 team conference as well as in their 7 team division. Yeah it's definitely a rivalry anyone on the Texas side was dumb as shit for suggesting or stating otherwise. That's not an excuse for this performance though. What specifically surprised me was the softness of both lines. I know a million people have said it but when the O line just stands around letting late hits on their QB go unpunished that is a mortal sin. Their future children should feel the wrath that Flood should mete out on them this week. I don't think QB play was the deciding factor in the loss, not nearly. But it was a little bit surprising Card was left in as long as he was. His targets weren't helping him but he was flat out missing way too many throws. The offensive play calling was maybe Sark's worst collegiate effort? It was predictable, and it was not working and he didn't seem to ever change it. Even changing QBs, Casey was just better at taking what the defense was giving and it was garbage time as well. Every drive seemed to be decent run play first down, stuffed run play second down, missed throw/dropped ball 3rd down. The end. Finally the most egregious thing to me was the lack of significant adjustment at the half. At the very least I expected a dramatically different, simpler blocking scheme for the line. A 3 man front beat them all night. No excuse for that. They looked worse, execution wise, than a decent high school O line does in Texas. I thought this was a good hire but after game 2 I am very worried we have Post-Mack 3.0 on our hands. I mean granted Strong is the literal worst hire in the entire history of the program but for all his flaws Herman never had a team get beat to fuck, and quit, like this in his 4 years. This 19 point game felt like a much bigger ass kicking from a much shittier roster. And for all the hype the staff got, they shit the bed worse than the players. Out coached across the board.
  12. Wolken is one of the guys who covers sports yet seems to hate them and what they represent. I'm pretty sure he was in the cancel the season camp last year.
  13. KOTOR is one of the best games ever made. And it was an Xbox exclusive originally, PC later in the year. Crazy that was 18 years ago now. I bought an Xbox to play it and don't regret it. I would have a PS5 right now if you could impulse buy them...still hard to believe they aren't in stock all the time almost a year after release. KOTOR will get me to actively search for one as the release gets closer
  14. I don't know what his background is but Scipio is the only after-action report worth reading. Every other one reads like Joe Dipshit just took notes from his couch while watching the broadcast feed and put up a post on his Wordpress site.
  15. I'm 48 and I never get over the first loss of the season for at least a week or two. We effectively lost by 4 possessions. This was a 19 point game that never felt close. Against what can best be described as our historic 3rd most relevant rival. Oh and do I need to point out that they are generally next to last in the SEC West since they've joined? The conference we'll be playing in next year?
  16. I knew they were terrible. They would not have been ranked this year, or last, had they not beaten ISU in week 1 2020 in a fucked Covid season where they were super lucky to win that game anyway. That said, even though they sucked I thought we looked good against them just because I thought we were keeping it vanilla. I was wrong.
  17. It became a 4 TD game with 10 minutes left in the 4th. What he did with 5 mins left didn't make a shit. What he did the week leading up to this was the fucking issue.
  18. I don't know what I am doing with my life to look forward to this shit every year. This was an emasculating loss there is no coming back from. Another season rendered pointless well before October. Where have I seen this before?
  19. I don't see any scenario where he leaves for LSU unless they guarantee, at a minimum, every dollar he'd be leaving on his Aggie contract. I don't LSU is dumb enough to do that though.
  20. You 100% can get a brioche bun sub on a normal sized double meat.
  21. Week Zero's finally available today https://www.nike.com/t/air-zoom-pegasus-38-tennessee-mens-running-shoe-6T1Nn3/DJ0858-001 edit: I don't know why the link says Tennessee...those are the Texas ones.
  22. Vacation Friends. Hulu movie that I had no intention of watching, let alone liking. This movie is funny if a little long and telegraphed. Sideways. I had only ever seen this once a long time ago. It aged well and was better than I remembered and I remembered it being good.
  23. Total Wine sells it for $150-160 and sometimes on sale for $120.
  24. Back during one of the Obama era ammo scares, I sold some Russian corrosive steel milsurp on Texas Gun Trader. In retrospect I wish I had not sold it but I was broke-ish at the time and needed cash. Anecdotal but I had like 3 offers within a day. One of them wanted me to trade (even though I said no trades), one of them wanted me to drive half to the next nearest big Texas city to meet (even though I said I wouldn't meet outside of my city), and the last one being a simple "Yeah I want it, I have cash where do you want to meet?". But yeah if you are in one of the four big metro areas I bet you'll get a lot of hits. 54R has sucked since the ban on the Russian milsurp. It basically tripled in price over night. This new ban on all Russian shit is going to suck.
