  1. Invitational tournament coming up at the beginning of August. I'm assuming (hoping) it will be head to head match-ups rather than the few previous tournaments that have all been on public servers. Can't wait to see who can camp the hardest! http://www.xgames.com/minneapolis/article/27210371/rogue-misfits-nrg-team-liquid-cloud9-compete-exp-invitational-apex-legends-x-games-minneapolis
  2. Liverpool duh. Manager is fantastic, playstyle is fantastic, currently winning trophies, tons of history, but haven't won the EPL since it was instituted so when we win we'll be totally justified in celebrating like we've never been there before because we haven't. Plus the US fanbase is pretty enormous so you'll have plenty of people to watch games with.
  3. People in Alaska just looking for any excuse to murder people nowadays.
  4. Just woke up from my celebratory post-game nap. WAY TO GO REDS! First trophy of significance since I started following a decade ago. Couldn't have happened to a better group of players (and coaches).
  5. Do you start Firmino in the final if he's available? I'm torn...he's obviously a great player, but I'm worried the layoff due to injury plus these extra 3 weeks is too much for him to be ready for a match this big. Maybe I'm being an idiot and the answer is obviously yes. Talk me down. I'm sure Spurs fans are having some similar questions about Kane.
  6. Without question. He's more than proved his worth in depth over the latter half of the season.
  7. Seen numerous articles saying that Apex is basically dead...I don't see it yet, but have noticed Twitch view counts have dropped off significantly in the last 7-10 days. Do you think this game has legs?
  8. Can't wait to find out how this pig gets off. Besides what we already know, of course.
  9. It's more fun when everybody in the family roots for the same side, anyways. Easier logistically, too.
  10. But when it does, of course Liverpool has to be one of them.
  11. Love this, but I think you should google the lyrics.
  12. Guess it's a good thing the talking heads aren't the ones out on the pitch, then. Klopp gonna Klopp - his team will be focused.
  13. First Mike Stoops. Then Jose Mourinho. Who's up next?
  14. So we're currently missing TAA, Gomez, and Matip? Our back line is getting torn up.
  15. If Meghan Markle's messy bun does not take the award, then there truly is no God.
  16. In the summer time, they'd milk that repair out for 3 months. Guarantee it.
  17. That is some top shelf "fake news" (aka lies). Fracturing has been going on in Alaska for decades. The majority of the fracs in Alaska are small (<1MM lbs prop, rates below 40 BPM). And the number of fracs going on annually is also still tiny (on the order of dozens of fracs total in the entire state). If you don't believe me, peruse the publicly available government-run database of Alaskan fracturing permits here: http://aogweb.state.ak.us/DataMiner3/Forms/FracturedWells.aspx. The idea that fracing is having any measurable impact on Alaskan seismicity is absurd. Recall that the "big one" happened in 1964, before oil was even a thing in Alaska. That said, this was my first experience with a big quake, and it scared the shit out of me. No real damage to property or people (other than a few broken glasses) in my household, but I definitely was thinking that I might die. It all happened in a flash. I'm sitting there reading a paper, a slight shake, and all of a sudden I'm scrambling for a doorway while the whole house feels like its ready to come down around my ears. Fuuuuuuck that.
  18. Went and saw this last night, the last night it was showing in my city. Very glad I made it. Not for the sake of the film, although the movie itself is quite good. But for the content of the movie, the actual documentation of the climb. To me, that climb is perhaps the pinnacle of human physical achievement to date. The stakes involved, and the razor-thin margin of error, makes anything else pale in comparison. It would be like watching Michael Phelps break his own world record, repeatedly, over the course of 4 hours, and if he fails to break the record, he is immediately drowned.
