  1. YouTube!! Funny story from a couple weekends ago. Took some boys camping to get them some exposure and teach them how to build a fire. One brought is own fire starter (striker) and had hell trying to get a spark from it. I let them struggle with it for 5 minutes, then gave some guidance on how to place tinder (high surface area) and to pull back the rod from the striker (not strike forward). They went at it for another 10 minutes knocking down the tinder since they wouldn't listen. I intervened and got a flame in 3-4 strike attempts. The oldest of the group stood up, looked around, and said "Wow, it's not near as easy as they show on YouTube". I told them to hold onto that nugget for the rest of their lives...
  2. Holy shit, you made me spit out my coffee. You bastard!! I bet you could've seen the whites of his eyes from a block away. I'm in no way condoning the presumed action here...but find it hilarious that people are "thinking" it in their heads. Gonna drive them crazy stewing over all of this. Until it happens, and they crack..only to find someone well armed on the other end of their plan.
  3. We are supposed to be going to Hawaii for Spring Break. It is a bucket list for the wife, so I will just go and kiss my ass goodbye while watching a great sunset. That reminds me...looking for good home for two German Shepherds. Parents parished in the Covid-19 Pandemic.
  4. Whoever came up with that idea should be fired tomorrow. It's one thing to raise prices and take advantage of consumers...but letting consumers fall on their own swords, that's profit.
  5. This is particularly relevant: https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/make-improvised-gas-mask/ I am prepared. **points to avatar**

  7. I sure as fuck wouldn't pay someone (the type of money that most OC's make) that would chose Hitler, of all the people in history, to have lunch with. Perception matters...I has no cry for that moron.
  8. Why the F do we keep giving it to Ingram?
  9. And the “missed tackle” option.
  10. HAHAH - fucking glorious!
  11. Tell that to Coach O.
  12. Does it say when Chris Ash starts? I didn't see if the appointment is immediate, or if he is expected to coach the team for the bowl game?
  13. Fuck yes - EARN the right to wear Burnt Orange.
  14. I initially want to hit the "hate" feedback button, because this shit has made me an emotional mess and it feels like the correct emotion that come from stories like this (and recognition of what we all see in TH's behaviors manifesting themselves into a clusterfucked reality). That said, I don't mean that as a reflection on you...and I'm grateful for the contribution. Have some "thanks".
  15. So...I hope our new DC is watching this Bohanon kid closely. I am sitting here cringing about how he is going to rape us next year...
  16. You asked the question, Captain Obvious. If your problem was with Google, why not just state that instead of pointing to the ownership concerns of digital games? Meanwhile...I'll be gaming on my macbook air screen in about 30 seconds.
  17. Forgot to mention...it played just as easy with my Nintendo Switch Pro controller, before receiving my Stadia controller in the mail. I actually prefer the Stadia controller, but that may just be the newness and me being a gear whore. Anyhow, wanted to let folks know that the existing controllers you have should work just fine! There is no need to actually buy the Stadia controller if you want to wait until Spring to play.
  18. @LonghornJudas Glad to know I'm not the only one in here...was starting to think I was just talking to myself. Received my code on Wednesday, and Founders Edition on Friday. I have played on my MacBook Air and across the Chromecast on our TV quite a bit. Destiny2 has really pulled me in, and the gameplay is much better than I anticipated for an early launch of the product. I have only played on WiFi (Time Warner 200mbs download), and even with my wife / kid streaming on their devices, no detrimental hiccups. I say detrimental, because I have had some pixelation / lag issues where it seems like the stream wants to catch up or reset - happens about once every hour, and my suspicion is that it's on Time Warners end (it almost feels scheduled). I went ahead and bought RDR2, and the oldest Tomb Raider (couldn't pass it up at $10). I haven't been pulled into RDR2, as Destiny2 is taken my time. I prefer the 60fps that Destiny2 is streaming at vs the 30fps for RDR2. From what I'm reading, each game developer is allowed to determine what they will stream at....hoping that they up their game in the future! Not a guarantee, but definitely something to watch for. As a PSA - Stadia is supposed to have some additional sales on games this week, so keep an eye out for some more deals. I'm looking forward to trying out BorderLands3. As stated above by LJ, I'm stoked about what this means for the future. Being able to simply move seamlessly between my TV and laptop (not a gaming machine) is incredible and helps with keeping the peace with the family. My son has really enjoyed playing Destiny2 (when I can get him to the "killing phases" and out of the story).
  19. Google hosted an "ask me anything" on Reddit yesterday. Found a summary for easy digestion that I thought folks might enjoy.
