    Ruined King

    Game from the people that made Battlechasers Nightwars set in League of Legends lore. It's exactly like Battlechasers with a few different mechanics and different characters/story. So if you liked that you will like this.
  2. Same. Casting is dog shit for the most part. Witcher level of bad.
  3. Season has been down but that Klansman episode was top notch and quintessential example of a Curb episode. I had no idea what a Pirate's Booty was. Apparently some kind of cheese puff snack.
  4. I think 14 is fine too. He might lack for ability but he damn sure doesn't lack for effort and he looks like he's the only one that gives a fuck on D.
  5. You have to know they (Russillo and Kannell) had a radio show/pod together for like at least a year post SVP and Russillo on ESPN, right? He's also been a pretty consistent guest on Russillo's pod under the Bill Simmons' umbrella. That said, Wolken is a huge cunt who hates himself and his job, and football.

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    Yeah that was egregious. No flag and no comment from the booth.
  7. I initially was not keen on the Kindle/E-reader concept because I really loved the tactile experience you get with reading a nice new hard cover book. Somehow I was convinced to give one a try and bought a 1st gen in 2008. Quite quickly the convenience of essentially being able to carry anything you'd ever want to read along with you virtually anywhere was too much to ignore and I have been hooked ever since. Since that first one I have owned a 3rd gen Kindle, a 2nd gen Paperwhite, a Voyage (bought in 2014) and now a 5th gen Paperwhite. I'm not sure why the Voyage ended up being a dead end product line as it was by far my favorite Kindle and the one I got the most mileage out of. The Oasis line is great and I guess technically replaced the Voyage. IMO, the Oasis are just too much for what they are and not a big enough improvement over a Voyage or a Paperwhite to warrant the expense. Anyway, this new Paperwhite is finally a clear upgrade from the Voyage and mine was pretty beat to shit after seven years so I went with it. I got the 8g version with no ads. It was $160. In retrospect I wish I would have sprung for the 32g signature edition because its only $30 more and offers 4x the storage (though I currently only have a downloaded library of less than 2Gs), wireless charging and auto-adjusting LEDs. It's a very well made product and the screen is fantastic. Any Kindle owner that doesn't have an Oasis, its probably worth upgrading to this (or waiting on gen4 Oasis). It seems unlikely I will go another 7 years without replacing it but who knows. No page turn buttons which a lot of people might not like the but the touch screen is very good and its very easy to turn a page intentionally and not very easy to turn one unintentionally, which is what I like. Has both brightness and warmth adjustments so you can dial it in for day/night reading exactly to your liking. The gate between Paperwhite and Oasis is pretty much just form factor and cellular option, there is no cellular option at all on any new Paperwhite.
  8. This came out of nowhere for me and I'm really having fun with it. I've played the previous Disciples games and this one is not like those (those games were fine but this is just a very different game). This game is more of a Heroes of Might and Magic/King's Bounty game with a lot more RPG elements. If you liked either of those games I don't think you can go wrong here. The only caveat is the game has no difficulty settings of any kind and is on the easier side if you are familiar with HoMM/King's Bounty.

    Formula 1 2021

    I thought Shaq on the podium was fucking hilarious.

    Formula 1 2021

    On the ESPN FP1 coverage they just said 125K fans there today. That seems like a lot.
  11. Friend of mine lost his 25 year old son to the exact same shit about a week ago. It blows my mind what the most powerful nation to have ever existed puts up with. We know where it's coming from. We know how it's getting here. We are now losing more people to overdoses annually than we lost in the entirety of the Vietnam war.
  12. Outgained 170-1 in the 4th. Really fucking amazing level of shit the bed.

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    The disparity in the roughing the passer calls were the only egregious officiating I noticed today. Aside from us just being more penalized in general that is, hard to say what accounts for that but it is not automatically bias/fuckery. But man the call on our guy for tackling Sanders was so ticky tack and then 11 just gets blasted and driven into the ground on a very similar post release tackle level of violence and the Ok St dude just gets up and nods at the fucking ref. No flag.
  14. I thought it was good but not great. Unforgiven is my favorite Western by a large margin.
  15. Yeah I don't recall the price but the lunch special is what I remember. The line would be backed up into the mall but it moved fast. Even though Dobie dorm had, in retrospect, a pretty kick ass meal plan that was all you can eat, I ate at Hao Hao more often than not for lunch.
  16. I lived in Dobie my freshman and sophomore year 91-92. I liked it a lot. I loved that Hao Hao Chinese place they had in the mall.
  17. I thought this was theater only, and maybe it was initially, but its for rent on Amazon for $6 in UHD.
  18. Elon Musk proven correct once again. We must be living in a simulation. There is no universe where the aggie team I've seen this year beats Alabama.
  19. lol fuck Jimbo and especially fuck the aggies. I hope they all choke on cocks tonight.
  20. I only recently read the book. I didn't love it. I thought the pacing was terrible. It felt like a bunch of important shit was skipped for no reason, almost like someone edited a draft that was missing the middle third into a novel. That said, when you realize this was written 55+ years ago, it is a commendable stab at future study and technology.
  21. All this year on Big Noon Kickoff they have had Clay Travis on the road at an SEC game. He was at Texas-Arkansas. They cut to him late for a segment in each of the two hours.
  22. We liked this a lot. Priest guy was awesome, I had never seen him anything.
  23. It will be appointment viewing for me, to start at least, but I have zero expectations. GoT was so good before it got so bad. Yes there was a slow drop off from S5 to the end but S8 was just so bad. Like I still have no idea how it got approved. Who approved it? Literally you could have asked reddit morons to come up with a plot for the season and rough draft scripts and they'd have done a better job in a week, for free. GoT went from my favorite show of all time to something I don't even like thinking about because it enrages me.
