  1. They're looking surprisingly not terrible though. Pitching sucks but the bats are more capable than they've been in a while.
  2. Or how his blood passed the cognitive test. "They say it's very hard. But my blood answered the questions right and turned the right color in that little vial. I bet your blood couldn't even do that Bret Baier."
  3. While several games getting postponed is indicative of a looming shutdown I think that Olbermann tweet is only indicative of postponed games. He's reading too much into it.
  4. I've read 5 of the Halo books. The Fall of Reach was my favorite. I really enjoyed the whole dehumanizing process of the Spartans. I love that shit in sci-fi stories. Of the five I've read it's the only one I really remember. I don't remember hating any of the others I read though.
  5. Risky move changing your name to the name of a past poster who was insufferable. Respect.
  6. Luckily their hardware is mediocre and they rarely let a software project go on past the 4 year mark so the risk of Terminators is minimal.
  7. Right. But on the other hand... So they probably left at least 20 minutes before this tweet.
  8. I already pay for the Athletic. I don't think I'm going to be in the market for two paid sports journalism websites.
  9. Sure. There aren't things I actively dislike about her. And not that this really matters, but most people only know her name because of bullshit Benghazi nonsense.
  10. In general I agree with this. I don't know if it's the case for the Kingkiller Chronicle specifically, but when you start a planned book series and people buy into it I think you do owe your audience an effort at an ending.
  11. I have the first two books sitting on my shelf. I haven't touched either of them because I know if I finish them that's just another series I'll be waiting for the end of that might never come. When I get a release date for the third book I'll read them.
  12. When you totally read books and definitely know what words mean.
  13. Regarding haze/blur: On a world that is ring shaped would you even have that effect looking in the distance? Honestly asking because I don't know. Seems like light filling in a U-shape would have a different look than a sphere. But more importantly: why the demand for photo-realism in a universe that has (mostly) thrown that out the door in favor of shiny and bright everything?
  14. I really don't like that grappling hook. I'm glad that it will be a power up or whatever (I think) Nokt pointed out. But I just wish it wasn't there at all.
  15. This is how old my CPU is: when I bought it there was no question that Intel was top dog and AMD was literally never ever going to catch up. I'm a little heartbroken because usually I'm pretty tribal with this kind of shit. But sounds like I'll be jumping ship at my next upgrade.
  16. It definitely looks like something worth checking out but also not worth paying money for. Like CBS in general.
