Relationship goals: be Dolph Lundgren and Grace Jones

FYI, the unlocked Nexus 6 is $350 at Amazon right now.

I always liked Blitzkrieg vs Juvi vs Rey vs Psicosis from Nitro sometime in mid-1999.

I'm playing, albeit on PS4 so seasons aren't a thing for me. The new cube is the best addition they've made since rifts.

I've been re-watching My Name is Earl, and I had forgotten how much I loved this show. It's so positive and sympathetic to its characters, and most of the casting is absolutely perfect.

Thanks, clan request sent!

I bought the legendary edition yesterday on PS4 if anyone wants to run stupidly low-level stuff sometime. BurroOul is my PSN name.

I haven't seen it confirmed, but local news out of PA is saying that Darryl Dawkins has died. Rest in power, Dr. Dunkenstein.

For like 3 days now.

I don't get the hype around MKG as a player. The list of effective wings that shoot has badly as he does is vanishingly small. Speaking of NBA stupidity it sounds like the Suns are calling Markieff Morris' bluff and aren't looking to trade him. He claims he won't show up for camp, so this is going to be fun. I like Kieff a whole lot, but he is not a guy that should be throwing around trade demands, especially with a forthcoming felony trial.

If you can ever catch it on sale, you should give Distant Worlds: Universe a shot. There's a lot of variety in the endgame, the AI is spectacular, and it lets you pick and choose which parts of the game to focus on and can automate the rest. I'm really fucking geeked for Stellaris to get here. Paradox + space + procedurally generated everything + CK2 style story events is right up my alley.

Milwaukee's December is rough: Clippers twice, Warriors twice, at the Spurs, Mavs, and Thunder.

Re: Linda Fiorentino, I'm pretty sure Barry Sonnenfeld had some not-so-nice things to say about her after MIB. I think the combination of being a huge ass-pain and the sin of getting older effectively black-balled her. 4 pages in and no one has brought up Sarah Holcombe?

Boo, Dante Exum might have torn his ACL.

Every time I get a little sad I look at this picture of a dick spray-painted on a $3M sports car and I smile.

Speaking of sportswriting, Mike Tunison resigned from Kissing Suzy Kolber and wrote a pretty scathing post about Uproxx on the way out. It sounds like the site will no longer exist in any meaningful way. It's a real bummer, even though I don't give a shit about the NFL I always enjoyed reading their stuff.

I was kind of glad they skimmed over the DeAndre stuff since I feel like it's been talked to death over the past month. I would have liked to hear Cuban talk more about the rising cap and the CBA, but I can understand why he wouldn't want to get into that.

Well, that was pretty disappointing. I turned it off when they started talking about Shark Tank. Do they ever get back to basketball after that?

Oh shit, Mark Cuban is on Lowe's podcast!

You're underselling the peak whiteness of the Grantland team. They also had Bibby, White Chocolate, Scalabrine, and were coached by Michael Rapaport.

Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert are both great suggestions. I would add: Carcassonne (my favorite 2-player game) Dominion Agricola Blokus Ticket To Ride Spite & Malice

Reading Gawker's reporting of this is kinda funny since there is essentially a 100% chance they leaked the transcripts, but have to say "Gosh, how could these have possibly been leaked?"

I also saw a show headlined by Boss Man vs Nailz in the cage. I at least got Headshrinkers vs High Energy out of the deal.

If you were worried that the NBA wasn't going to try to fuck the players in the next CBA, put your mind at ease.

Goddamit, someone tried to use my debit card at a truck stop in Quebec last night. Luckily by bank caught it right away and are sending out a new card, but it'll be here Monday and I'm leaving for a wedding in Michigan Friday morning. There have been reports of ATM skimmers found in Madison lately so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that got got.
