  1. Yeah, I read a decent breakdown of it yesterday. The lawsuit sounds like more an exploration of feasibility. Give them credit because they're the one bold enough to do it. (There are a few other conference schools that have read the Grant of Rights just as many times but haven't pulled the trigger). I think all of the schools in the conference were not wise to sign such a strict commitment though. College football and collegiate athletics has undergone too many changes to be locked into something so strict for so long. ACC being a starting point for the Alliance and then blocking the playoff makes this whole thing even worse.
  2. This should be interesting. It potentially could end horribly for FSU. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39167937/florida-state-sue-acc-grant-rights-withdrawal-fee
  3. I'm not where I want to be on sustained distance on my runs, but I'm at 520 miles ran for the year, which I'm sure is a personal best, and I anticipate adding at least another 20 miles to that before the year ends. Next year I will transition some of those miles to strength training so I can start to burn off some fat.
  4. The Game that will inevitably steal my soul in 2024 is EA Sports College Football, but that's a version of a game I've been waiting to get a new release since 2014.
  5. I will never forget my reaction for when that reveal in the middle hits you. I was shaking angry and sobbing uncontrollably at the same time. The very rare emotional reaction I've had to watching something. It's the ultimate definition of a one timer.
  6. I played it for a bit when I still paid for Gamefly. I enjoyed the couple hours I threw into it. At some point, I'll probably pick up whatever the deluxe edition is when it's cheap. I'm in no hurry now thanks to backlog. Edit: It's kind of a weird combo of an X-Com Like with some card battle mechanics. It also sadly sunk that studio.
  7. There were some incredible spots but they all involved waiting around or Vikingo having issues finding his footing. It was far from what I enjoy. Taurus looked dominant enough when he had heat that he should have gone over.
  8. This Manchester United team is just abysmal to watch these days. Had a few chances in the box to equalize and then totally collapsed to concede that second goal. A club that cannot stay out of its own way.
  9. Those feel like two games they should remaster into this generation or take another stab at making. I never touched 2, but I really enjoyed the bits of the campaign from 1.
  10. I want to finish XVI in the next couple of weeks after stepping away from it due to lack of time and playing a fair amount of EA FC and Spiderman. I'm not a fan of this recent trend of "we have no intentions of releasing DLC" followed by "surprise, we now have DLC!" I'm curious what the reactions are to Echoes of the Fallen after some play through it today. I'm guessing it's only going to be 2-3 hours if that. It looks like it funnels you into a pretty insane boss battle quickly.
  11. I kind of thought last night was the perfect time to do it even if you had Drew still attacking Jey post-match to give Priest the opening. I'm kind of questioning if the cash in is not being saved for whatever happens with Punk/Rollins. If you have Punk win and have the moment and then steal it from him in a "you get a sip but not the whole glass" kind of moment. I know that's been done a few times (I was at the one where Sheamus did it).
  12. I stan for Bo Nix the rest of the season as long as he remains in the Heisman/Title picture!
  13. Yeah, it's rare that the sequel has less satisfying combat than the other entries. (this could be more idealistic memory than reality). At its worst, the game feels like more of the same. The combat in this one has just been a step down for me.
  14. It can be kind of clunky too because the parry stuff and types of enemies can make it a challenge. I find that I don't use my finish option in a lot of the story stuff because I want to be able to heal on the go when I have a chunk of health taken away. As for where I'm at in the game:
  15. I'm honestly shocked this one doesn't get more love. It was one of my favorite discoveries from my time working at Movie Gallery, and it's not a genre I go out of my way to seek out even to this day.
  16. Does Punk spoof more of Savage's gimmick, and cuts a promo covering the world famous hit hip hop song? "Be a Man" aimed at Roman?
  17. Some claims that the opening and ending of RAW tonight will be huge. The commercial free stuff seems to back that up. Possibilities? Pull the trigger on Punk/Rollins tonight with Punk winning? Orton turns on Cody to keep Cody occupied until setting up the Roman rematch. (Although, not sure how you get there brand-wise without Cody winning the Rumble again). McIntyre helps kick Priest out of JD? Three Hour R-Truth concert?
  18. Granted, it released at the worst possible time for people mentally with the pandemic starting; however, that was kind of the narrative around release and why I've never been in a hurry to play it (I also am just awful at stealth). I've heard it's a blend of being super long, a bit of a slog, and a bit overwrought in misery from a narrative perspective.
  19. Gross. I'm already very over this election cycle.
  20. I started SpiderMan 2 this week. I'm still in the first act, but I feel like it's not clicking with me as well as the previous two entries did. Controls just feel a little janky to me, and the predator mode/stealth stuff isn't as intuitive. I've yet to get through a sequence that hasn't ended with me just having to brawl my way through waves of enemies. It's the first time in 3 years that I've probably played something with the Arkham combat mechanics, but this feels more random. Even the oddities of stuff like webbing people up with Miles is pretty easy with R1, but I think you can only do so much with Peter using triangle and R1 is more gadget focused.
  21. This is one that probably did not need a sequel, and I love the first one.
  22. Jeff Grubb is thinking we're a good 6 years off from the next game being released given that there's still not a date for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.
