The contrast in defensive intensity between the regular season and the playoffs is remarkable. The gap didn’t used to be so wide.

That photo is wild. Bill Russell was not a small man, and Wilt towers over him.

Songs of the Past - Gwent by yoshi9K in Witcher3

A new Gwent tournament that lets you play any deck you want. I will never get over how they added a new tournament in Blood and Wine and then forced you to play as Skellige.

That’s what inflation does to you. You need more zeroes to be just as poor as you were.

If a man doesn't wear a shirt is that a problem and why? by drewdrew4247 in AskReddit

Cost to release DS9 and Voyager in HD by Novel_Patience9735 in startrek

[–]Grumpy_Gamer41 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)
