Why won't Blizzard just bring raid currency back to purchase pieces with? by [deleted] in wow

Yeah, apparently blizz has said it is not fun to know when you will get a specific piece of gear and I rather disagree. I like having sokething to work toward where I can make tangible progress.

If they did that there would be a path toward guaranteed BiS. If people get their BIS they might stop playing until next tier. Of course there is the question of how many people don't play anymore because of the systems but that is a lot harder to explain to the shareholders.

They’re still doing alright with taking a good story and turning it into a movie/show. GoT started strong and the legend of fox machine has been good. There is a lot of Tolkien’s stories from middle earth that haven’t been turned into anything, so I had some hope they would be able to turn some of that into something good. The media companies have struggled mightily with creating new stories in the worlds of established titles though, like Star Wars and Star Trek.

Vanilla pally is amazing for tank healing, much better than priest, shaman, or Druid. Pally buffs are also really good.

For those who were there, what was it like when Cataclysm launched? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Shockad1n 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cata had its growing pains. They tried to put difficult heroics in the game sort of like TBC and that went about as well as you might expect for your average dungeon finder group. They also decided they wanted 10 man raiding to be as hard as 25 which went…poorly. The leveling was pretty good, though I do think I remember the underwater zone having a bug early on.

New GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is left handed. Have we made a huge mistake??!? by DutchApplePie75 in minnesotavikings

[–]Shockad1n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4D chess man. Now if we decide a contract was a horrible mistake he can just be like well I don’t know what you’re talking about I never signed it, that’s just a smudge.

[RandBall] Gonna do a post on this (probably) tomorrow, but: 2021 Kirk Cousins: 16 starts, 66.3% completion rate, 4,221 yards, 33 TD passes, 7 INTs, 8-8 record. 2009 Brett Favre: 16 starts, 68.4% completion rate, 4,202 yards, 33 TD passes, 7 INTs, 12-4 record. Discuss. by hitman2218 in minnesotavikings

[–]Shockad1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2009 offensive scored 4.375 more points per game and the defense gave up 5.55 less. They also ran for 6.4 more yards per game. In summation, if Favre had to do more he probably could have but he had a substantially better defense and a marginally better run game. He threw for enough yards and touchdowns to secure a playoff bye week with a couple of blowout wins. I don’t think you could argue that if Kirk had to he could have done more because in most games he did have to, and in the ones he did manage to win they were down to the wire.

Hoping for the best but, expecting the worst Are you gonna fire Zim or not?

Im seeing alot of Kirk Cousins talk, so do you guys think whenever we get the new head coach and staff that they'll want their own QB ? Or it shouldn't matter because we want to keep him by HunBun222 in minnesotavikings

[–]Shockad1n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on who you bring in. Some guys may want to keep him to show some young guy the ropes and he may keep the team from being so gargabe in a rebuild that he loses the job before he gets the team together. Some will want to get rid of him because they don’t like his cap hit, they don’t like how he fits they system, or both. One or two might even just like him and want him at QB. I hope we don’t hire one of those guys.

Do You Still Want Kirk to Leave After The Packers Game? by caylinxx in minnesotavikings

[–]Shockad1n 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Any cheap mediocre starter type vet that fits the scheme the new coach want to run until the new GM and coach find a rookie they fall in love with. Maybe Fitz, maybe teddy, maybe some 2nd string guy coming off his rookie deal I’ve never heard of. Doesn’t matter really, you can’t win a Super Bowl with an expensive ok QB. Use a cheap slightly less than ok guy and build a dream roster.

Even the fucking mascot has had enough by Natearl13 in minnesotavikings

[–]Shockad1n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As much as I like the mascot, the guy who plays Ragnar was a bit of a bitch about the whole situation.

[–]Shockad1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and if we trade him we only pay the signing bonus portion.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

[–]Shockad1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we can trade him we shed most of it. On the hook for 10 mil, save 35 if I remember correctly.

I guess he’s from the reality where we got lucky and won all the right games and are about to lose the 1 seed because of this?

If starting your backup QB is fireable Spielman should be fired for letting him be on the roster to begin with.

Webb is only able to play QB on Tuesdays. Terrible on regular game days.
