  1. Those would work. Your might also consider a co-op, like Forbidden Island. My recommendation would be Race for El Dorado, though. It's easy to learn, and it introduces deck building mechanics. And it's fun, even for experienced hobby gamers.
  2. I absolutely find value in commentators and reviewers who provide takes and commentary that don't align with my own. I can think of a number of folks who have preferences pretty much diametrically opposed to my own, but whose insight I find valuable, even if I disagree with it. You think Texas will suck this year and Beard is overrated? I'm here to hear your reasoned argument. Maybe you'll convince me. "Chris Beard fucked my girlfriend in college, and Shaka Smart once made eyes at me from across the court and later told me I was handsome so it was clearly the players' fault and not the coach" isn't valuable critique: it's just noise, and it's gotten pretty fucking pathetic at this point. There's plenty to criticize about Beard, but I think most people's problems with BWG's articles is that they don't read like they're written in good faith. He had an opinion, then went looking for facts - but also "facts" - to support it. You can argue that he's just a pessimist, but I can't read that as anything as other than professional courtesy or unfamiliarity with his oeuvre. Did you miss his takes on Marquette and Texas last year? I'm pretty sure people have met BWG, but if you told me that he was actually Shaka Smart in a dipshit blogger/podcaster suit, I'd believe you.
  3. You sound like a fucking moron, and you'd probably be more comfortable on TexAgs.
  4. Obviously Ewers has a significantly higher ceiling than Card. But you think Card could have somehow done worse in the second half? Instead of pacing back and forth on the sidelines looking like he needed to take a shit, maybe Sark could have tried, you know, literally fucking anything when it became clear Plan A wasn't working. Even great players can have an off game. It's on the coach to adjust when that happens.
  5. Give Root a shot. It's a war game, which seems to be in your wheelhouse, but each side plays almost entirely differently. If you find a faction you particularly enjoy in Root, you'll be able to find other games that expand on that mechanic.
  6. You forgot RJ. And we might want to sneak one with Quinn, just to get it on film.
  7. What are you, some kind of a doctor?
  8. Username checks out.
  9. I mean, we also gave up giant cushions to the Tech receivers.
  10. Maybe Sark told him that it was a practice instead of a game.
  11. Did we just successfully defend a long pass?! Are we allowed to do that?
  12. When they showed him on TV, it didn't look like he had a headset on.
  13. I wonder if that's the reason for the Worthy pass playcall: to keep his head in the game.
  14. At some point, shit like that has to start affecting the receivers, too. I can't imagine that Worthy's diva tendencies are helped when he gets wide open and the throw just fucking misses.
  15. By God. That's the fastest hiccup I've ever seen.
  16. I'm no football science major, but it's possible - just possible - we've got more than one issue.
  17. It's hard-hitting insights like this that make me think you might be a great candidate for head coach if Sark doesn't work out.
