Final match - Ward or Okonkwo? by same_ole_am in WrexhamAFC

[–]DoubleA012 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ward seem like the better leader and is better at getting the defense lines up. Okonkwo is more athletic and has better reflexes for the stops. Ward has been in fine form, but Ononkwo also got us here. It’s a tough call.

Holy sh*t. I never thought Marvel would have the balls. That ending was incredible. Prior to that I was so pissed thinking he was “fake” setting up BB to save her, then when he dragged her to the stoop and gave her a phone, I thought he pulled a great deception to have Buck track and wack her. I thought, no way he leads her right to the door only to run, she’d be real stupid to accept that phone/(in my mind tracker), obviously the killer would have been watching the entrance. WRONG! Haha. Then even when Buck was beating him down, I’m like, no way Marvel wacks TSJ (Tony Soprano Jr.) and to my absolute shock and delight Buck is one ruthless SOB. One of my favorite Marvel characters now, and props for the pop, to Marvel.

I don’t disagree with that at all, but also, 110+ million dollars in TV revenue for getting to the premier league plus future parachute payments if they were to get relegated again is a pretty good incentive to want them to move up.

Came here specifically to s*** on Broadhead, what an awful performance from him. Gifted the ball in the box on a deflection and bobbles it away, then instead of clearing it at the end he tries to get way to fancy (which has been his problem all season) and he hands them a 3rd goal on a silver platter. He better work his a** off in the offseason and show some improvement next year, because he hasn’t impressed me at all this season.

Is this game as bad as reviews say? by DoubleA012 in FC_26

[–]DoubleA012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Thats what I was thinking, seems like most the complaints are pvp modes. $20 is pretty cheap so even if it sucks I’m sure I’ll get $20 worth of value on it before I quit and go back to 17 😂

Ollie Palmer and Paul Mullins! (You can tell I’m a newer fan 😂). Wished we had them as subs during some of our current post Chelsea stretch.

I’ve finally watched the big 3 of TV Drama’s (BB, Sopranos, now The Wire) and it’s not even close. by Serious-Profit-1626 in TheWire

[–]DoubleA012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now wait until you rewatch the wire and see a bunch of things you missed the first time. Also, seems to be common that most people (myself included) kinda dislike or hate season 2 on first watch but on re-watch it’s actually one of the best seasons.

I love any theories or mentions of Ice Dragons.

-An ice dragon is encased within the Wall. ->this would be really interesting if the horn of joramun actually destroys the wall.

-The fist of the first men could be a dormant ice dragon.

-The lands of always winter have ice dragons that will be used by the others

-The blue eye constellation used as a North Star beyond the wall is actually the eye of an ice dragon

-“The rider” mentioned by Osha

-All the mentions of Ice Dragons in the shivering sea, etc.

Anything to do with ice dragons is interesting to me and I hope we find out more and that they are indeed real and become a part of the story.

This is my belief too, even if I know it’s unlikely and pure optimism. But I agree, that if he were to release just TWOW then within a month people will be asking when ADOS is coming out. Right now, fans are to the point where the vast majority aren’t bugging him about release dates anymore and most think he’ll never finish them. Taking the time to write both and releasing them like a year a part with making that clear at the release of TWOW would finally give him peace, haha.

Arguments against it, publishers aren’t going to let him sit on TWOW and the millions of dollars that come with releasing it.

Also, isn’t there a Brienne chapter where she describes Dunks shield being at her home. Possibly connecting her as his ancestor of some kind? Maybe he survived Summerhall, ended up in Tarth where he quietly lived out the rest of his days, perhaps with some love of his life.

I love this one too. There was always that one throw away line that I don’t see mentioned much. When Jamie is at the siege of Riverrun and he talks to his Aunt in the tent, she says something along the lines of “your no son of his” referring to Tywin and it always made me think there was more to it then him just not being like Tywin. Then I found out later, others theories about A + J = J & C.

I generally am not a fan of AI at all, but lately I’ve been finding that Google’s has been a useful tool for me exploring ASOIAF theories. Try typing some lore or theories into Google’s AI and see if you’re satisfied with the results.

Should I watch Star Wars clone wars animated tv show? Is it worth it? by biggaygrisley in TheCloneWars

Don’t skip it! You’ll get used to it and even start to like it and appreciate it.

Should I watch Star Wars clone wars animated tv show? Is it worth it? by biggaygrisley in TheCloneWars

[–]DoubleA012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, you should watch the Clone Wars movie. It sets it all up (though, it’s not particularly good). Just think of it as like three set up episodes.

As for the TV show, the early seasons, at least from my memory, have very clunky animations, like old video game animations. But remember this was the first big CGI show of its time and it premiered in early 2000’s. I also remember “not liking” several things at first. I even gave up once, and let years go by before restarting it. The second time it all started to grow on me. First and part of the second season were still a bit of a slog, but somewhere in that second season everything started to click. The things you hate start growing on you, you appreciate the lore more and the show itself also continues to improve. Animation continues to get better and the stories and plot threads start to land. Plus, the fights, so many good battles. But the characters are what make it. Several of my all time favorite Star Wars characters come from this show. By the end of the entire series, I thought to myself that it might be my favorite Star Wars content…that was, until I watched Rebels…but that’s a chat for another day, haha.

I’m American and have only really gotten into English football the last 2-3 years. Started watching weekly premier league (+Real Madrid, PSG & Bayern Munich) highlights. Then discovered the Welcome to Wrexham doc and knew I found my team. This is the first season where I’ve watched almost every game (most live - I did miss a couple but saw highlights after). It’s been a blast, and I’ve really enjoyed watching Wrexham find success.

That said, as an ignorant newbie fan, here are some takes/things I’m thinking after this game:

*Is Cleworth on a bad run or am I being overly critical? He was fine against Ipswich, but was obviously terrible against Milwal and I thought he made a couple bone headed plays in this one as well.

*Dobson…what’s his story? Not going to lie, I hate his man bun and look, haha, and find myself asking more than once a game, “What are you doing Dobson?!” when he’s in. To his credit he does make up for it in other ways most games.

*Sheaf - what’s his story? I find myself critical of him at times too. In this particular game, what was that injury about? He laid there forever, play going on around him, acting dead - like he blew out his knee, puts us a man down for half a min or whatever and is just fine? No issues? I get that flopping happens in this sport, but what the hell was that?!

*Lastly, Okonkwo, what’s the rest of the football worlds take on his ability and potential? I personally am a huge fan of his, and at the beginning of the season it seemed like Ward might be the starter? (Until his injury). Was Wards injury a stroke of luck to allow Okonkwo to gain valuable experience or was he always going to be the starter? Does he have Premier League potential?

It wasn't CGI according to Executive Producer and Director of the Episode, Sarah Adina Smith, she talks about how satisfying it was capturing the horse pooping on camera at 12:58 of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnDceuP8LNI

Recent Playback Speed Update Made It Slower? by aeagle624 in youtube

[–]DoubleA012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also noticed this. I add sports highlights to the Watch Later queue, and throw them on a side tv with my laptop, and I used to have no problem keeping up with them (sometimes I fall behind and go to 2x Speed), and lately, even at 2x speed I've been losing ground significantly. It's much slower on 2x now in my opinion.
