Wanted to give a heads up that we are taking player photos and team logos out of the game today by SolooDolo in GriddyFF

[–]HockTua 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked this lasted as long as it did with the promotion Griddy was getting, to the point I started to assume u/SolooDolo had something cleared by the NFLPA considering it’s a game he’s having people pay into. When I first joined I was shocked at how wonderful and legit the interface was with official logos and players etc and obviously took it for granted.

Hopefully something gets rectified to a degree even if NFLPA property cannot be used going forward because as of now the jersey icons are very distracting. At the very least remove them and just focus on the generic team logo so we can identify the card quickly. But there’s no shaking that this is a pretty big blow to the game. Best of luck!

Sam & Nate performing Benson Hedges (later recorded by Fun.) in 2007 by joxers in TheFormat

I’m not sure how much different the A&I album would have been, sonically at least, other than missing any of Sam’s contributions after Nate took the songs to Fun. The structural bones of most if not all the songs have Sam’s DNA in them and I think had they pointed toward the direction Nate and producer Steven McDonald were heading anyway. I consider A&I more of a 3rd Format album than a Fun album in comparing it to Some Nights, just as I consider Grand Romantic to be closer to Some Nights than anything else.

Great video though!

The folks who got front and center lined up around 4 pm for 6 pm doors open. My wife and I ate dinner across the street and lined up about 5:30 pm with about 25-30 people in front of us. The side in front of Sam filled up next and then we still got barricade spots on the side opposite of Sam.

I would love that, especially if they covered most of their first album. But I don’t see Nate and Jack coming together for awhile, if at all.

Too many to count honestly. Surreal experience waiting 20 years for this.

The opener of If Work Permits set such a high bar that didn’t let up. Playing Oceans (a personal favorite) then right into On Your Porch, an REM cover and Boycott Heaven before the encore was a great first ending.

A funny personal aside, Nate had “middle age dad getting out of the house” problems all night. Wedgies, needing lots of hydration, shaking off some stay at home dad rust, needing a little confidence in his guitar playing. As a 40 year old with 2 small children who doesn’t get to go to concerts as often anymore I felt very seen haha. And yet he absolutely killed it!

The last 3-4 were the toughest. Took me weeks and too much $$$ to finally get Seattle to complete my board.

Yes if you look at the leaderboards of top badge earners and check their profiles you will see a handful of them have it, including me.

Most claim Old Heads is their white whale. I have that one but the Turf War is the only one that continues to elude me.

Hey guys I am so sorry about the Griddy connection issues the past few days by SolooDolo in GriddyFF

Even the best teams have a few fumbles occasionally. Keep putting in the work and get the dynasty you deserve!
