  1. Just a reminder that it's been 741 days since 0U scored a TD on Texas.
  2. Agreed it's not a one to one comparrison, but no different than saying Mack got shut out while Sark never has. Sark has never faced teams like Mack did.
  3. Mack also never shut out OU, while Sark has.
  4. And this one earlier in the play
  5. This is the one they were talking about ont he TV. There's a better angle on the replay. It wasn't overly egregious I guess, but it certainly could have been called.
  6. I'm on the fence on this one. The story and characters I was 50/50 on. Some of their writing has always driven me nuts (the constant "Everything was exactly the same...except it wasn't"). What killed me though, and I had problems with the Expanse as well because of it, is the narrator (I listened to all of these). I just can't stand the way he enunciates things. When the next volume comes out, I think I'm going to try to actually read it.
  7. YOU ARE GEORGIA'S DADDY! Greatness
  8. https://www.amazon.com/Shattering-Peace-Old-Mans-War/dp/0765389193/ New book in John Scalzi's Old Man's War series. I really loved the first 6, hoping this one holds up.
  9. I modded my Wii years ago but only set up a couple emulators and then eventually switched to a RetroPie. I never really compared the performance though. Curious which one is better?
  10. My brother is on Book 7 I believe (Last Audiobook currently available) and he said it's really non-stop action and intense, kind of having trouble listening for more than brief periods. I'm on Book 5, just keep loving it!
  11. Don't bother with that. Get one of the rectangle flat ones you stick to the wall. I have an Airbnb in East Austin and I run three TVs with one of those things. It can take a bit of adjusting to find the reight spot, but it won't take long.
  12. Not directly related to the books, but thought y'all might find this amusing. My teenage daughter is into D&D and so I've told her about these books. I was just finishing Book 3 and she asked me how it was. I told her, "it's great, and I have a new favorite insult, fart goblin!" She responds, "What about mind goblin?" I say "What's that?" And she responds: "MIND GOBLIN' DEEZ NUTZ?!?" and breaks out laughing. Not sure if I should be horrifyed or proud. Probably both.
  13. Yes! And it needs to be like when the did the scientologists with the text flashing "THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE!"
  14. This seems pretty cool: https://www.bitmolab.com/products/gamebaby?srsltid=AfmBOoqFXO3i5ZC5ICUAKKwo2_A9IQ4KK_UAebSsrNp1Nm-OeLdH_g31 Curious how well it works. I hate touch controls
  15. I did Sling last year on their 4 month college football package. I think it was like $275 or $300 and ran from the first game through at least the beginning of the playoffs (I think the title game was right after my package expired). I don't see that package this year. This year it looks like you have to do the Blue + Orange package plus the sports pack to get all the ESPN, SEC network, and Fox Sports games. And it does not include most locals. But it was cheaper per month than what I saw Youtube TV for.
  16. https://www.enworld.org/threads/renegade-announces-dungeon-crawler-carl-rpg.714583/ TTRPG coming. Would totally play a CRPG!
  17. This series actually makes me look forward to my weekly drive between Austin and Dallas
  18. Yeah, I find it frustrating to wait now (spoiled) but at the same time, when I do binge, either because they release a season all at once or I just wait to watch it, I miss the banter with friends the following week (and online) about the latest episode like I used to have with Lost, Battlestar Galactica, etc.
  19. I'm curious about that as well. I can listen to an audiobook while I'm doing something else, like driving or folding laundry, and I feel like I retain it pretty well, but if I try to just sit down and listen to one, my mind will wander and I'll barely pay attention, much less retain anything. For non-fiction books, if it's something I have a really strong interest in, I can listen and retain. Like for instance, I listed to a book about Narcissim while going through a divorce. That held my attention really well as it got me thinking about a lot of things. However, I've tried some self-help or professinal development books, and I just can't pay attention or retain it. I will say on the fiction, if it's a really complex book with a ton of characters (and those characters disappear for large portions at a time), I sometimes have difficulty. I just finished the Stormlight series and in the later books I was constantly confusing which character was which.
  20. Hell yeah! Can't wait to watch it!
  21. I'm on episode 5. I'm enjoying it, but I get what some of you said about not caring about any of the characters. It's basically just easy entertainment while I'm on the exercise bike.
  22. My brother suggested DCC to me a while back and I added it to my audiobook queue. Just finished it last week. Absolutely brilliant! The voice actin on the audiobook really takes it to the next level. Need to get the next book.
  23. Lol, my brain is so mush I totally forgot about that thread!
