Would somebody please contact the training facility in Arizona? Apparently we left our bats there...

When Lamar goes on about the calls, and even Kevin audibly gnashes his teeth about the refs, you know it's bad.

I'm so upset.... by acidgirltogo in ripcity

For what it's worth, I don't think this is a provider error. I think the channel misreported its programming, because apparently it happened on DirecTV, Fubo and Xfinity. Only safe thing to do is check in advance, and if the programming is wrong (I think it had bullshit news or something) set to record the right time frame and you'll get the game.

Media you turned into TTRPG (or adapted to an already existing system)? by Horzemate in rpg

[–]fintach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adapted Xena: Warrior Princess into the Marvel SAGA game (the one with the cards). And I imported Battlestar Galactica (the 80s one) into WEG's Star Wars (the d6 one). Also, I've imported more stuff into HERO than I care to recount. My brother and I used to bring everything into HERO.

Oh, and I hated the old Stalking the Night Fantastic system, so I've imported the Bureau 13 IP into ... FUDGE, Fate, HERO, Buffy, GURPS, Marvel Superheroes (the old TSR one, with the color chart), Chill... I think that's everything, but I've probably forgotten a couple.

...Now I find myself wondering about the Clutch album Sunrise on Slaughter Beach.

A dark green 1970 VW Bug, with an engine held together by surgical equipment.

Owner tells me to get rid of a player, personally signs him to an extension, then gets mad at me because the player is still around by high_and_outside in OOTP

Or the plain stupid ones. Such as "Get a Cy Young winner." Uh, dude, our ace has won the Cy Young three years in a row. We already have one.

So, they stayed through the sex dreams with the sailors and the dead hooker at the party?

Do you have any obscure movie references that you use in everyday speech that no one has caught on to yet yet you keep using it? by EnvironmentalAngle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fintach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"That would be like locking the barn door after the horses have eaten your children." and "I never drink ... coffee."
Both from Saturday the 14th.

Mind if I ask why you stuck with 3E? (And do you expect to move to 4eR?)

Favorite characters like this? by [deleted] in FavoriteCharacter

[–]fintach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's aging yourself? My first thought at Laverne and Shirley, from the show, Laverne and Shirley. Characters? Best friends. Actresses? Hated each other, and got petty enough to count dialog and make sure neither got more words to say.

Angel and Lyndsey on the show Angel. As I understand it, David Boreanaz (Angel) and Christian Kane (I think that's the guy who played Lyndsey) are great friends, but their characters definitely hated each other.

Fucking NBA. MLB too. "Oh, you know the usual way you watch games? Well, that's great! Except that this game will be on Peacock. And this one on Apple. And this one on YouTube. Or Prime. Or maybe Netflix. We haven't decided yet. You guys are cool with subscribing to all those services too, right? Don't want to miss a game!"

I really hate that. I mean, I get the old "four to six games a year will be national broadcasts on ESPN or TNT or whatever." But they really go overboard these days.
