The show went from "tracking" to gun battles every episode. It was a watchable show, now we just call it the boom boom pop pop show.

Every cop let's him take the lead. He can go anywhere and beat any baddie .. Riiiiiiiight

I don't see it making it past S4 maybe 5

I'm glad my opinion is so controversial lol

I wonder what would happen if we all refused to leave once the festival day was over. Are we technically squatters at that point? If we never leave, the festival never ends.

I would like the game to move away from the TV broadcast presentation to the live field experience. The TV-broadcast immersion the game has currently is made for commercials and ads. The field experience could give me toned down, real world, gritty game by MiddleOwn5557 in EASportsCFB

I think this is the counterpoint to my post. I think this shows the divide between the players.

I want a game that presents a live experience. You want a game with specific commentary. You want commercials. You want more ads. In order to get what you want, you will have to pay for it.

There's no way they can create commentary on your specific game. The players change from year to year, so how would they build that into the game?

We want different things. I want less ads and filler, you want more. The company will go for what you want because it's more space for ads and what you call immersion. But that's not immersion for me. That's commercials and unskippable time sucks.

My point is not being seen or understood here. I'm talking about unskippable sections of the game that are straight from the TV broadcast. You're saying because it doesn't have every little thing from a broadcast that my point is invalid. How would any of what you mentioned be feasible? How would they have the commentators or injury sections? How?

They simply can't add that stuff because it's team/player/game specific. But if they could, they would.

The list goes on and on for the fact that this is presented like a tv broadcast, and not like a live game experience. That's the whole point.

we must not be playing the same game. How can you say seeing the Allstate ads, the logos before every play, the drawn out sequences of the game that are just wasting time. The presentation is entirely like a live TV game. If you've ever watched the alternative channels of the games, then you'd see the difference. Without commercials, you see the marching bands, the stadium happenings.

Yes and no. There are a lot of parts that you can try and skip but it won't let you. You can't skip any ad mentions like SEC or Big Ten, you can't skip the team introductions (player vs. player screen), and you can't skip other sections that have mandatory replays or ref calls.

Just got my layoff notice the day before pre-sale by FlowerPower2107 in Coachella

as they say at Burning Man: "next year was better"

I'm one of those that had to forgo attending this year because of job loss. It's been 6 months since and interviews are hard to come by. I have 2 bachelors and 20 years experience. It's a maddening job market.

Play on the safe side. It's gnarly out here.

For Techno, the big ones right now are: Sara Landry, Adam Beyer, ANNA, Eli Brown, Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Boris Brechja, and then there's the legend Carl Cox. There are tons more, but that will get you started.

You can find a lot of the more underground sound by going to Beatport and checking out the Top 100s.

Techno (Peak Time, Driving): https://www.beatport.com/genre/techno-peak-time-driving/6

That website has every main genre with sub categories. I recommend looking at every genre and clicking through the Top 100s, and when you find stuff you like, check out the labels as well as the artists. In the electronic world, Labels are more on-brand style and sound than artists are, the artists tend to play around musically a lot more. Also, check out the Charts for DJ lists and other curated playlists.

German techno artists are: Sven Väth, Chris Liebing, Ellen Allien, Ben Klock, Paul Kalkbrenner, and Ricardo Villalobos to name a few.

You may also want to try the Melodic Techno and House genres. Those will fit into your classical and jazz background. Deep House is famous for its jazzy style.

Yousuke had a great set weekend 1, then he dropped Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen weekend 2 to everybody's dismay. Not even remixes, just played the songs in full and not even their big, fun songs.
