    When my wife & I went to Hawaii, one of my best days there was the day I just sat on the beach drinking Coke and reading a book about the 1992 Dream Team.

    I've done a cruise once in my life, and I kind of wished the Cruise was just going out to the middle of the ocean and doing nothing but eating and drinking by the pool. Roaming Nassau for a day was neat, but it's kind of hard to enjoy that stuff in less than a day because you boarded a port. I think staying on the island is always the better move. I say that as there's a high likelihood a cruise is in my future again within the next 365 days.

  2. I went to my first MLS game since 2017 and had an incredible time. I hate the game was on Easter because it definitely impacted attendance, but a 3-0 result for the five stripes was about as good as you could ask for while also sitting close enough to the supporter's section that it allowed for some fun people watching.

    MLB The Show 24 hits Game Pass today (with 23 being removed)

    I will play it again.

    We should start a pool to see how quickly it enrages me

    I make the mistake of buying it every couple of years and then put less than 10 hours into it. I promised I would not make that mistake this year. I might do a small game pass run with it, but my cup is overflowing already.

    At the very least you may want to boot up the mode one time to unlock classic Seamus (including his theme song) then bail without actually doing a match.

    I was wondering if Sheamus was the unlock for everyone.

    Also, what characters are still locked in the roster after the super charger? I know there's a couple.

    I won’t play this for years (I just now crashed through the church where Aerith is in Remake, so…) but I really hope there’s shit in Rebirth that makes it absolutely certain that it’s a different timeline/universe because my coworker is STILL convinced that the three games are just straight up remakes with some expanding of the story.

    I don’t care if it doesn’t make sense - kill Tifa instead or something.

    I have the Demo installed, but I'm still trying to finish 16 (just not home in front of a console much these days), and then I'll probably jump into FF7 Remake again. I believe my last playthrough had me in Wall Market, which I've heard takes awhile.

    I've watched snippets of people playing the game on Twitch, and the game does look stunning. I'm not a huge fan of adding crafting to the game (crafting is just not a gaming feature that excites me), and I am not sure I like the bench HP/MP refills being itemized.

    I continue to be flustered by what Seth comes to the ring wearing. Has he just been a big fan of The Fifth Element this whole time?

     

    I was randomly thinking about it while watching RAW a few weeks ago, and I think it clicked for me. I think he's kind of trying to do an amplified take on Jared Leto.

    My guy took a demotion to a different school in the same conference. What a backhand to UCLA, which somehow views itself as a should-be-power in football despite NEVER doing anything in football. 

    It's an interesting middle finger from Chip to UCLA. There were rumblings that he was all but fired before the end of the season, and then they didn't (I'm guessing available coaching landscape).  Now, it's even more dire for UCLA because the coaching carousel is all but shut down for the year now.

    I'm at Kanver in FF16 and once you get 3 Ikons to shuffle through in the game, the combat really opens up. Also seems like the storyline at this point falls into your standard FF story so it's not a total GoT rip off.

    There's some Eikons you get later on that I don't really enjoy because the main attack involves loading up, but that just may be me not learning how to properly navigate/maximize that.

    I'm at the very end of the game, and I'm debating if I really want to do the remaining hunts and side quests before moving on to the finale. I did go through unlocking gotterdammerung .

    I wonder how quickly MLB the Show will piss me off this year

    I told a friend I'm not falling for buying it this year to only play it for a few hours. I really need to get away from sports games in general. Everything is tied to those pack systems, and if you want to do that with next to no additional money spent, you have to not have a life or other interests.

    Spotify decided to give Joe Rogan another $250 million

    The interesting thing is that they're letting him go back on other platforms, so I'm guessing they're trying to recoup additional monetization since he averages 11M listens on Spotify alone. 

  11. I am really enjoying the early playthroughs of The Smile's "Wall of Eyes." It's a bit closer to just being a Radiohead album than the first one from the Yorke/Greenwood project, and it's a nice holdover until whatever the next Radiohead thing ends up being in the next year or two. 

  12. Update: I am starting to see the end in sight for the base game of FFXVI. I completed the Odin/Barnabas fight. I know people complain about this game being too easy even on a gameplay driven difficulty, but I'm kind of happy with the guard rails this game gives you if you're struggling through a section. I'm at the point in life where I do not mind a small challenge, but I also just want to just reach a conclusion when a game is this long. I reached a couple of game over screens in the Barnabas chapter with the last encounter on the platform, and then his third phase where he has an instant kill attach if you don't do enough damage, and the "that's okay, we've taken care of you" aspect was nice instead of beating my head repeatedly against the section. 

     

    Spoiler

    The game replenishes your potions and high potions, which I have maxed out on and still had to use most of them. (It's kind of crazy that 8 potions is the max in a Final Fantasy game).

    This makes a lot more sense than the Amazon rumors from a couple weeks back. But, as noted, Netflix’s ability to consistently pull off live broadcasts is a big question. They’ve got a year to figure it out, though.

    I think they've tried it with a couple of comedy specials being live, and they have that Nadal exhibition match airing live in early March. They've been slowly dipping their toe into sports and the live content space for about the last 18 months.

    Harmonix has announced that they will be releasing their final DLC for Rock Band 4 on January 25

    They say every thing will continue to run as usual they just will stop adding new songs

    The company will be solely focused on Fortnite Festival for the foreseeable future

    I just wish the rumor of them bringing back plastic instruments for both is true given the cost of those things now.

    So, I got PLAAY.com's "Let's PLAAY Tennis" sports replay board/card game, and am currently running a massive tournament using the Stars of 2000's set.

     

    Speaking of Tennis, 2k Announced it's bringing back Top Spin as Top Spin 2k25 at some point this year. Add that to the list of things I'm super anticipating as I've debated buying the old ones and dusting off my 360 (which is buried deep in storage somewhere).

  16. Meanwhile in the other part of the state, it sounds like Freeze is pushing out the alumni members of the staff. Carnell Williams and Zac Etheridge are leaving the staff. Odd timing to be having this stuff happening when they should be capitalizing on voldemort being vanquished.
