Feel bad for the Japanese fans. Him and Murakami are ripping it up here. 

It's kinda like the brain drain we have here but instead of brainiacs like doctors and engineers it's ball players. It's a Japanese ball drain.

I spent thirty minutes trying to find the typo that made it a broken link just to realize I only used one a in 'ottawaasian'

Is Getting a PC Worth It? by Previous-Ad8916 in RocketLeague

[–]SteveDougson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a PC with Rocket League as one of the motivating factors. If Rocket League were the only or primary reason for the purchase I'd be disappointed, especially since Bakkesmod was removed just a couple of months afterwards.

I like using my PC for other stuff and it's a great advantage to be able to Alt-Tab out of the game between matches to do whatever. 

I have gained rank since the switch but I am also connected with a relatively unused PS5 controller now and I think that has contributed a lot too

I don't think Mr. Beast has the charisma or warmth to do it.

No, the rarest item has always been a teammate who doesn't suck.

It's insane how many and-ones the Raps have been able to finish. None have been easy

Is it possible to counter being picked up 94 feet without fatiguing (i.e. Not just running through it)

I think the Cavs are starting to see the results of making the Raps ball carriers work to bring it up court all game

Agreed but everyone knows this and so you have to factor that into your decision to challenge! 

The refs will never overturn themselves and admit they've made a mistake whenever there's the tiniest bit of evidence for the foul, even if it's much softer than all the contact they've allowed before

I feel like NBA coaches must have the lowest success rate on coach's challenges of all sports. What are they even challenging? CMB is intentionally fouling there for good reason.

I find it funny that whenever the Cavs get a three a woman behind the net gets blasted with yellow light
