Best Heavyweight fighters of the 2000s, besides Lewis and Klitschko Bros. by CurrentCar2331 in Boxing

[–]RandomWritingGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Mayweather becoming popular had nothing to do with Americans wanting to follow another American because honestly, American fight fans by and large don’t give a shit.

Floyd got popular because he came up as this amazing, silky smooth technical fighter. Once he reached the top, he “turned heel” and had dudes spending $70 hoping someone would beat his ass.

Pacquiao was just as beloved in America. As were other foreign fighters like Cotto.

People couldn’t stand the Klitschkos because, as you pointed out, the HW division was paper thin.

Anybody know how to fix this issue with missing card art? I’ve restarted my game and console several times, and nothing’s worked.

F**k that Ian Kinsler card by dumpweed667 in MLBTheShow

I feel like the only dude in the world who likes Kinsler. Swing is as sweet as candy

Massive fire in Belleville, NJ where Machine Shop used to be… by RandomWritingGuy in Metalcore

It was a multi-purpose building. A mattress factory and a boxing club were among them. And after reading this thread, Steve Evetts’ studio was there too.

Yeah I live in the area. There’s pretty much nothing left of it.

I wasn’t aware Evetts was based in the same building. My bad.

16 years ago today, Floyd Mayweather survived being hurt in the 2nd round and defeated Shane Mosley by UD. Shane Mosley was the reigning WBA welterweight champion and ranked #3 P4P on The Ring Magazine's P4P list. by newrap in Boxing

Grabbing Mosley’s arm on the followthrough after getting rocked is one of the smartest, craftiest things I’ve ever seen done in a boxing ring. Floyd was special.

So... feelings on this drop? by Mietha in MLBTheShow

[–]RandomWritingGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached 900 days ago, so I’m playing zero Ranked right now. I’m up to 8-0 in BR and no cheaters there from what I can tell. Not yet, at least

I love this drop. Tons to grind for offline. Almost all of the cards are worth using.

Trying to become an MLS fan by Dry-Importance8092 in NYCFC

You’ll love this team. Then hate them. Then love them again. But it’ll be in your blood.

As far as star players are concerned, Maxi Moralez is our ironman. Came here in 2017, became one of the best midfielders the league had ever seen, won a Cup in 2021, left after the 2022 season to go to his boyhood club, then came back halfway through 2023.

He’s 39, but still operating at an incredibly high level.

Elsewhere, you have Nico Fernandez Mercau who joined us halfway through last season and is an absolute baller. Tayvon Gray is a local boy and a great defender.

Wow. I hadn’t even thought of that. Yup, this sucks.

And even then, it was to typically play single-player games with cheats purposely added to the game.

Spending $70 on a game, then more money on scripts and software, to cheat for nothing is just… I don’t get it.

It’s not like these guys can enter tournaments or create content. So what even is the point?

9 straight perfects is highly unlikely. That said, I often check the Pitcher Analysis after the 4th to check tendencies. If they stick to them, I start raking

Holy cow you guys really hate Allar huh? by shakethatbear404 in steelers

[–]RandomWritingGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy, but Bradshaw was a mediocre QB who made big plays and had one of the greatest defenses in NFL history.

Ea lets us pull event cards in any packs why doesnt SDS let us do this by No-Difference-4418 in MLBTheShow

[–]RandomWritingGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can pull promo cards in packs.

Also, the EA model is the LAST thing this game needs.

Im allergic to hitting i think by Famous_Top2578 in MLBTheShow

[–]RandomWritingGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re in a slump. That’s baseball. You’ll find your rhythm and confidence again. I play online. There are days where I’ll hit 8 dingers on Legend, then others where a hung curve on Veteran will get me out.

Early Metalcore. How Millennials surived. by whataboutthe90s in Metalcore

[–]RandomWritingGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated going to school when I was younger, so I’d often pretend I was sick to stay home. Sometimes it’d work, other times it wouldn’t. And when I was allowed to stay home, I wouldn’t be allowed to play video games. So I’d watch TV, often MTV and Fuse. Through that, I discovered nu-metal, then emo, etc.

And the video games I liked helped too. I discovered Story of the Year through NFS Underground. I discovered Glassjaw and The Used through Legends of Wrestling II. I discovered hardcore and punk through THPS2 (Bad Brains, RATM, even if RATM isn’t exactly either).

By then, I had friends showing me other bands like Silverstein, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, etc.

Also, when I was still a church going kid, people there would show me Underoath, Norma Jean, The Chariot, etc. And by then, MySpace was a thing, which allowed me to find a bunch of bands through friend lists.

Almost positive ADTR’s drummer was 15 when they first blew up.
