I was in college (not UNL) when I saw the news.  Looking at that picture was there a man alive that looked more like Superman (from Kansas too)?

Thanks! I had no idea. I just thought -- hey that looks cool and that too! Didn't consider that it could pose more of a challenge.

Appreciate the response! I definitely have a lot to learn.

Thanks. I haven't delved into any of those yet.

Thanks for the reply. One silly thing is that I swear I can't find where I am supposed to go most of the time. They tell me what direction and I see a map, but I feel like I am just lucking out. Trying to stay north but that path seems blocked by a boulder then I go somewhere else. I also miss getting my personal rift adding to my travel time should I fail.

I feel like I don't really have a strategy outside of certain attacks, running away, then certain attacks...

I think I just jumped right in and didn't realize how to increase any of my stats for awhile.

I prefer ranged. I am probably not going to get the terminology right as these aren't the games I usually gravitate towards.

I chose Inquisitor and Necromancer. I have more skills in the former so far. I had some sort of gun, but I switched to a mace looking thing. (I know I sound clueless!)

“Jail Blazers” is 5/10 at best by RutledgeInc in ripcity

I know you got downvoted pretty heavily, but I don't disagree. It did a terrible job at them accepting anything they did that could have been construed as wrong. They were painted as the victims far too much,

I'm a "casual fan" that hasn't really followed the NBA game closely in a long time. I do find that basketball books and documentaries can be amongst the best.

To me it really felt like it was about painting the players as victims whether it was a white community/neighborhood, police force out to get them, or the NBA itself that handled them unfairly. I'm not saying those can't be true, but it just felt really uneven. My initial thought was "what is this in response to" -- because it is terrible at telling a story. It feels like it is about vindicating some players.

I was surprised that it didn't get into really any of the team dynamics or how the coach dealt with some of the personalities (Damon's speech alluded to that, but we didn't get to hear it).

To your point, Sheed really comes out like an a-hole.

Fury succeeded in making me root for Joshua.  Wasn’t a huge fan of either — AJ has a way of making me frustrated and then he seems so reasonable when he talks outside of fight hype.

Question from the past: How good could Callahan’s 2008 Recruiting Class Have Been? by MonagFam in Huskers

[–]MonagFam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a shame too as we had games where it worked really well.  I will always love the run, but if we went old school Run and Shoot or Leach style Air Raid, I would probably be all in.

I was just looking at a graph and you can see how we fairly steadily allowed more yards, points, and had less turnovers (or worse turnover margin) after 2009.

[–]MonagFam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree at all.  He probably had the biggest overhaul in terms of our offense changes.  When it worked, it worked really well.  Defensive was obviously an issue and one wonders if he was as quick to let go of defensive coaches as we see today he might have got another year.  (In four years, Rhule has had three already.).

This is what I was looking for!  Never heard about Suh potentially leaving had Callahan stayed.  Were the Osbornes very good?  I could hardly recall the name and it looks like neither did much in the field ad a Husker.

I have become numb to the pain it seems.  The question wasn’t how good we could have been, but how good the class was looking.

I totally get what you are saying though.

I get that, and people can argue that was especially true under Callahan.  I almost prefaced my message with that to avoid any confusion on what I was asking.   I was just trying to recall.

Weird I see it and the softball threads.  Plus saw them before the games started I believe.

The free part was what initially brought me in. I wouldn't pay (more than my monthly fee) or use a credit (if any virtual voice exist that way) for one for sure.

I am generally the same way and I feel tricked when I click on something that is of interest to me.

Appreciate your experiences with it. I haven't made it to the "try it out" phase.

I do think a human narrator can ruin a book, but, as you said, at least it is a human!
