  1. It's so rare that a movie I'd seen or even heard of, let alone actually liked, won best picture. I'm glad EEAaO got it. I saw it randomly on a whim at a theater near an airport while killing time waiting for a flight home. Knew absolutely nothing about it going in. Everything else that was in the theater at the time looked boring and this one had a cool box standee with Michelle Yeoh doing a martial arts pose and I was like, "Yeah I could go for a kung-fu flick". 2 hours later and I could not recall ever being that surprised and engaged by a movie before. It's not my favorite movie, but it's probably my favorite movie experience if that makes sense. It absolutely tops the list of "I wish I could see it again for the first time" films.
  2. I remember playing until I like, got transported to this village area where everything was on fire. I don't remember the details but I seem to remember it being like a flashback or something? In any case at the end, at the back of this on fire village there was a big dude in a watery area. I could never get past him. I don't know if this was an area I was supposed to be in or if I"d gone off sequence or what, but I never got through that bit.
  3. I feel this. I've beaten multiple layers of NG+ for every other FROM game and do challenge runs for some of them. I've yet to beat Sekiro even once. Not even close. Parrying/timing is not my style and I don't have a great reaction time generally. I'm going to give it another shot at some point, but I'm content to know that I just may never see most of that game.
  4. I mean...yeah? He did keep going back and getting more hits in on the unconscious woman after the first few attempts at getting him off of her. Maybe a liiiiiiitle more force was called for here. Not a *lot*, but...sometimes some added oomph is justified.
  5. For my 42nd I booked an Adventure Away weekend for my D&D group. Gotta do something suuuuuper nerdy for 42.
  6. I watch those and enjoy them very much. The Epic NPC Man videos are great. They're a New Zealand based group and they put out some pretty funny stuff.
  7. Hopefully for Josh Harris or Jeff Bezos and the Commanders.
  8. Commanders finalizing deal to hire Eric Bieniemy as new offensive coordinator WWW.NFL.COM Just days after celebrating his second Super Bowl triumph, longtime Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is likely heading to Washington to assume the same role with the Commanders.
  9. I appreciate that, but I'm not trying to win my own contest. I think any advantage I have by picking first is offset by the fact that I set the lines and choose the questions. In any case my fun is in running it. :P I have a few rules to ensure I don't win as well. OK, well 1 rule ensures I don't win, the others just make it very difficult). Always go all in for Washington whenever they're the featured game no matter how ridiculous, always bet against Dallas if they're in the feature game no matter how ridiculous, always pick Washington RB1 and WR1 for Question 8 no matter how ridiculous, and if I'm ever in 1st place come Super Bowl week then I bet it all on a draw. Next season I might think of something different. Or maybe I'll see if someone else wants to run it, I'll just still put up the prize. We'll figure something out.
  10. No problem. Always happy to do it. Though I might be thinking of doing something different for next season. We'll see.
  11. ########## SUPER BOWL LVII RESULTS ########## Kansas City Chiefs (+1.5) @ Philadelphia Eagles Kansas City makes a second half comeback to win Super Bowl LVII by a score of 39(38+1.5)-35 over the Philadelphia Eagles. Bets on the Chiefs win. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Chiefs TD, Chiefs FG, Chiefs safety, Eagles TD, Eagles FG, Eagles safety, or other? ($2,500 for the correct call) What would become a familiar sight throughout the game, Jalen Hurts scores on the QB keeper for a touchdown in the first quarter for the first score of the game. Keyser_Soze and Slug were the only players to get this one right. 2) Which will be the highest scoring quarter of the Super Bowl? ($2,500 for the right quarter) By virtue of a 2 point conversion, the 4th quarter saw 25 points put on the board to be the highest scoring. AbsolutSurgen was the only player to guess this one correctly. 3) Will there be any missed field goals or PATs during the game? ($2,000 for the right answer) Yes! 4) How many total sacks will be taken, across both teams? ($5,000 for the correct number) 2 sacks were taken in the game, both by Philly. Nobody got this one. 5) What will the combined score be at the end of each quarter? Give us 4 scores, corresponding in order to the four quarters. You will win the Q5 cash for EACH correct answer. See my example answer below if you are confused. ($10,000 per correct score) 14, 38, 48, 73 - If you got these you got money. ######### FINAL LEADERBOARD ######### @AbsolutSurgen - $234,500 @Biggie - $96,200 Slug - $27,500 @Brian - $7,700 @BasemntDweller2 - $7,600 @Kal-El814 - $5,500 @Dodger - $4,600 @Keyser_Soze - $2,500 @silentbob - $2,500 @Commissar SFLUFAN - $0 @thewhyteboar - $0 If you think I mathed wrong, let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 Week 10 (BYE) Week 11 Week 12 Week 13 Week 14 Week 15 - BYE Week 16 Week 17 Week 18 WILD CARD WEEKEND DIVISIONAL ROUND CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS SUPER BOWL LVII ############################### As the dust settles on the 2022-23 MGT season, it's AbsolutSurgen who comes out on top after a big late season push saw him overtake all other challengers for the crown! Congratulations to him and grats to all players for a well fought season! I hope everyone had a good time this year and that the MGT gave you another reason to enjoy the games and maybe follow ones you normally wouldn't have over the course of the season. Have a great off-season, draft and training camps everyone! @AbsolutSurgen - PM me to coordinate delivery of your prize.
  12. For some reason I've been humming the Evangelion theme for like 3 days now. A Cruel Angel's Thesis. No idea why; I haven't seen or thought about that show in years.
  13. Dr Pepper Zero > All other options listed
  14. You can taste the frustration around here. It's delicious. That said, I'd rather be in it like Philly than wallowing in mediocrity like most of my teams.
  15. Some other second amendment supporters embarrass me more than being a second amendment supporter. :P
  16. My favorite AMV of all time was a Trigun/Kid Rock mash-up. The timings were terrific.
