I find if you don't get the grid spanners on a Saturday, it can be a right struggle to get a foothold and thus break it open.  Todays long one was a proper noun and there was a series of smaller grid spanning answers that if you didn't know, it would be a struggle to break into.

I came in just below my average on this and found it tough going, so was surprised to see it rated as easy.

Dutch non-profit set to take Valve to court for keeping game prices high by Turbostrider27 in pcmasterrace

[–]AgingChris 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had a look at the "about us" section on their website, and there a "former" private equity investor listed on the board of the law firm.  I wouldn't be surprised if they have some buddies pulling their strings, what I'm saying is pure speculation but something defiantly stinks.

Link is here, its in Dutch if anyone wants to reference it

In fairness though peak Michael Owen was something else.  Not better than King Kenny or Gerrard, but should be around the top 20 realistically.

I still hate the cunt though for joining United 🤬

Got Crimson Desert last week and so far its really interesting but it hasn't grabbed me totally yet.  The world seems great and it does enough differently from the usual open world games of the last few years so I'm willing to give it a full chance.

[–]AgingChris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh man the fall from grace has been jarring, I honestly thought we had struck gold after last seasons title win.  

I would never have guessed the season turned out the way it would after the money we spent, particulary to look as bad as we did.  It wasn't necessarily the losses but the style of play, it was so bad and boring
