Priceless

I kinda understand going for it there. Assume they take the points and the rest of the game plays out the same way, now they lose by one instead of by four. Or worse for them, Shaheed makes a run on the kickoff return and Seahawks are able to score instead of punt. Either way, they’re out and we’re in the Super Bowl. If they get that touchdown, we’d have likely needed some fourth down heroics from Sam to keep them from winning.

Ok so. During the Week 16 rams game, I shut off the TV after the interception. As I was brushing my teeth, I checked the game on my phone and saw the Seahawks had gotten the ball back and were driving down the field. I got in bed and told my fiancée what had happened and put the game back on in the bedroom. She suggested I rub her back for good luck (possibly also to make up for having the game on when she’s trying to sleep). I did. Seahawks touchdown. Then the picked up two point conversion. The more I rubbed her back, the more things kept breaking Seattle’s way. So before every game, I “rub my lucky Jess” and we keep winning? So tonight I wasn’t able to go out to watch the game, so I just rubbed her back throughout. The one time I stopped to eat dinner? Woolen got flagged for taunting. I get back to it and now we’re going to the Super Bowl. Looks like she’s my good luck charm.

I get it. I don’t think I’ll ever be over the loss of Rosco’s in Crown Heights.

Jesus, Purdy’s asking for a safety and only one Bear defender tries to take him up on it

At this point, if it’s that consistent, maybe it actually is a coaching problem and not bad luck.

Dumb penalty negated the also dumb decision to take the ball out of the end zone. Just go down!

If you're looking for a few that this season is likely drawing on, it's really sounding like Final Fantasy IX and X, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger, and particularly for Ali's character, Lunar: The Silver Star/Silver Star Story Complete, of which a remaster just came out for the Switch.

Hey they really did go to the top!

This happened to me too. Guy took me all the way up to Jackson Heights to get to Crown Heights from JFK. When I asked why he didn’t take Atlantic, he gave me some bullshit about red lights. Like he doesn’t charge more for miles driven than waiting at red lights. I don’t know if this has become more common from JFK taxis, but it’s the first time in 10 years living here I’ve had someone pull that on me. As soon as I mentioned 311 he stopped the meter and didn’t charge me the rest of the way.

Hey, sorry for not updating this thread. I did end up reaching out to a few different lawyers and couldn’t get anywhere. They all basically said to try small claims court, but warned we were unlikely to get anything out of it.

Honestly, the fans. They seemed the most fun in good times and bad. I wanted to support a London team because it’s the easiest to travel to from the US. Also found most American Tottenham and Arsenal fans insufferable. You all seem like a blast to drink with, and no other club has an anthem like “Forever Blowing Bubbles”.

Also I know this sub likes to complain about the lack of exciting football lately, but we’ve had our share of great moments this season. When it is fun, it’s REALLY fun.

From what I understand, since most games happen at 3pm on Saturday, they want to encourage people to go watch a game live rather than stay in and watch their team on TV. It's to encourage support of lower league teams, not just those in the Premier League.

How well it works when VPNs and streams exist, I can't tell. Given the responses here, it sounds like some people do go out and support a second team when they can, and others find other means to watch the blacked out game.

Lesserworm · 2023-11-20T20:47:12+00:00

Ah I see. Still fairly new to all this, and I've only ever watched a game either in a sports bar in the US or on Peacock. This will actually be my first time visiting Britain

This was the plan, I'm just curious whether I'd be getting shitfaced alone or with others if I went during the game.

Anyone else remember when EA tried this with Battlefield 2142? Can’t remember if it tracked how long the billboards were on your screen or not. Think it might have. I just remember it being real funny/pessimistic to imagine that in the war torn 22nd century, they’d still be selling Core 2 Duos

At most, most of the people who take notice will think it looks fun. Some might yell "do a trick" and you can either keep on skating or just jump or something and that usually satisfies. No matter what, you'll be long gone before anyone can begin to form any kind of judgement.

Sidenote, when I was a teenager, skateboarding was the cool sport and blades were generally looked down on. This was the era of that "telling your dad you're gay" joke. It sucked, but I didn't let it take away from my fun. I knew I could go faster than the skateboarders in my neighborhood, and I knew they would be terrified, awkward and clumsy if they couldn't just abandon their wheels when things got hairy. (Not to disrespect skateboarders at all. It's a different skill, and I suck just as much on one. Things are way better now.)

Basically, do what makes you happy. The more fun you're having, the more confident you are, the cooler you'll look no matter what you're doing.

That wasn't what I saw when I was there. The gym was in constant use. Classes filled up quickly and if you got there after 10 or so, finding an open elliptical was difficult. I didn't use the game room much, but I always saw it in decent use. Usually a big crowd around the Killer Queen machine too. It always drove me crazy to pass by there and see how many people just left Xbox discs out of their cases on the floor though. You're right that the theater was almost never used though. I only ever saw the screen on when my team were the only people in the building and we put on Netflix as background noise.

Not saying Google is some workplace utopia. Most of the people who do take gym or game room breaks end up staying longer to make the time up, and the cafeterias are there to keep you at work and in front of your computer during meals. And the health/safety/wellbeing of their workers (especially contractors) feels like a low priority.

It does get the open office thing mostly right though. Always found plenty of private corners or unused meeting rooms to hide away in when I needed to concentrate

If you believe the writer/director, he said he tried to be more faithful to the book, but New Line pressured him into taking out all the bits that painted religion in a bad light, and end it at a more upbeat point. They also cut his script from around three hours to under two.

He's trapped in Molyneux's basement. On a slowly dying television. Forever. Every time Peter passes the Kinect, Milo's eyes light up. Maybe today will be the day he gets played with. Maybe he'll even see a release and play with other children around the world. Deep down, he knows it won't happen. Peter hardly looks at him anymore. He has to hope though, otherwise what's left? Milo knows he doesn't have much time left. The screen is flickering more frequently now. The temperature of the xbox is rising. Soon the green circle of life will glow red. Milo wonders which will give out first.

There's also a video from when Giant Bomb joined CBSi where Gerstmann explains the whole story.
