  1. Oof. Pretty sure I saw the world premier of that one. Back when the world premier of a video was something anybody even noticed. Still remember the premier of Hot For Teacher. Everybody at CD Fulkes Middle School - home of the fighting lizards - couldn’t wait for that one.
  2. Ive never seen or heard of anybody laying off most of a hardware design team post project completion. I’ve seen it after a project cancellation, but only once. And I’ve been through an insane number of cancellations. Normally our next project is lined up long before the current one finishes. Probably a bunch of reasons for that. Hardware designers are a pain in the ass to find and hire. So many specialties that don’t carry over to one another easily. Also, the work that occurs after something gets released frequently is as much as the pre silicon work. What does happen frequently is shifting whole teams to work on a project that’s got behind, then moving to some other emergency once they’re done with the first. Been there plenty of times. It sucks, but it beats getting laid off.
  3. This one hurts. Wherever he is right now, I'd like to think Mojo is on stage singing with Glenn Frey.
  4. I don’t love Borderlands as a single character player franchise. Even if it is the one shooter that I’m not terrible at. I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun with coop though. There’s some nostalgia built into my love of the games too. Hearing Derek Burke in my head saying “prepare to be Trevonated bitches!” will never fail to bring a smile to my face, even if it’s a smile tinged with sadness.
  5. I’ve been wondering where he was for awhile. @RIPPA have you talked to him? He dropped off my Xbox friends list at some point.
  6. Wow. New AD has barely been there a day, and things are already getting Bjorked up.
  7. EVA has entered the transfer portal. I'll admit, I mentioned Alabama players hitting the portal when Saban retired, but I didn't expect it to be this severe. They may be more depleted at DB by the portal than A&M was.
  8. In future turmoil news, Ross Bork is leaving A&M to take the Ohio State AD job. So, congratulations Buckeye fans. You’re getting the guy responsible for Jimbo’s insane contract extension. And for whatever that Mark Stoops midnight deal was. Good luck with that. And now Ryan Day gets to hear he’s on the hot seat the first time he doesn’t win by three touchdowns. And Elko hears the same when our offense looks like crap in the spring game, as is tradition.
  9. We’re paying Fisher $77 million to not coach for us. Unless the buyout is nine digits, nobody is gonna bat an eye at Alabama paying it if Lanning’s their guy.
  10. The portal might just get crazy again. Saban out at Bama. Maybe Harbaugh at Michigan too. Plus whichever top end school(s) they poach from, and so on. Get your checkbooks out CFB fans.
  11. He won’t get it, but it would be hilarious if he did.
  12. And just like that, the offseason got interesting all over again.
  13. Said fourth string quarterback apparently finished with the fifth most passing yards since Fisher was hired. If that doesn't explain Fisher's downfall, I don't know what does. Also fun - two guys I'd never heard of caught passes, and A&M's leading tackler was a walkon.
  14. Aggies had our starter at QB (would be third stringer but #1 is out for the year and #2 was out for the year and then transferred) for exactly one play before he broke his arm. Fourth stringer had thrown three passes before tonight. Add in having a total of three receivers available and losing about 300 guys on defense, and this is gonna be ugly.
  15. Had to look it up. He's their defensive coordinator. You had me wondering for a minute why Diaz would be an offensive coordinator, and why anyone would hire Penn State's offensive coordinator to do anything they thought was important.
  16. There's a non-zero chance we get to do something horrible to virtual Musk. After all, the last game ended with bundling an egotistical billionaire into the trunk of his car and sinking it in the ocean. Plus, there was the incident with virtual Steve Jobs. LENNY! So many cool little things in that game. Too bad online was just kind of there. If? GTA online 2, or an expansion of GTA online 1 to include VC (hopefully the former, online is bloated and badly needs an enema) is the surest of sure things.
  17. Next time we have an active shooter in the neighborhood, it would be kinda helpful if the police let us know.
  18. Dang, that looks purty. The amount of stuff happening on screen at one time is insane. I waited 10 years, I can wait 2, or 3, more for the next. Then we get the band back together. We just swap two beer with the night shift for Ensure and early bedtimes.
  19. It's hard to look at that image and not hear A Flock of Seagulls playing in my head.
  20. August 2021 was a hell of a long time ago for Rattler
  21. Good for him. Did the best he could with unmotivated receivers, terrible coaching and truly awful OL play. He was gonna be third string at A&M anyway, so nobody is surprised. And now he probably won’t get the snot beat outta him every game. Hope his little brother stays, though.
  22. And Durkin. And Addazio. It's like we put all the worst possible ex HCs together in one staff. Glad to flush the whole lot of em (except Elijah Robinson, gotta keep him).
  23. At least Elko makes sense, if it's really him. Knows the place and half the players. Younger coach and probably won't have an insane contract. Might actually try to run modern schemes on both sides of the ball. Maybe he doesn't work out, but at least he has a shot. Stoops made no sense at all. Why pay $75 million to fire Jimbo, then hire his clone? We'd have ended up paying both of em not to coach in a few years. And Stoops would've been at $10 million per year. I'd love to know what really happened last night, but I doubt the truth ever comes out. My willingness to believe anything said on the subject is inversely proportional to how convinced the person saying it is that they're right. Craziest story I saw was the board of regents agreed on a target, but Bjork went rogue and tried to hire Stoops on his own. Figure I can rule that one out, as Bjork hasn't been fired.
  24. Keep seeing stuff different places online about Ryan Day to A&M. Near as I can tell, the ultimate source for every one of em is a parody post on whats left of Deadspin which was just screen caps from an Aggie message board. Sounds reliable to me.
  25. For the same reason rednecks love Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother. People don’t want to know the jokes on them.
