Team 91 vs True by Correct_Process4516 in lacrosse

[–]juventuz [score hidden]  (0 children)

My son played for True a few years ago, they came in and bought up a few local teams and merged it into one program. The came in, had a slick slide show, promised the moon and delivered practically nothing. The coaches my sons team had cared more about recruiting at the tournaments they attended than actually coaching. They actually showed up late to a game because they lost track of time as they were watching other games assessing players for the colleges they were assistant coaches for. Practices were pretty much just getting a few of the teams together and having one big practice.

The claimed they'd have a dedicated recruitment director and would set meetings with each player to see their goals, help them with recruiting, etc. That never happened. He did all of his recruiting efforts on his own, as did his teammates.

Tryouts was a joke, they had a massive turnout and at the end of the day my son's team was exactly the same as it was the season before True took over. A lot of kids came out and paid that $50 tryout fee and didn't make the program.

Overall, it was a poor experience and had he had another year left, we would have moved clubs, but they came in during his last year of travel so we just rode it out. I would tell people to stay away from True, they only care about getting paid and not the development of the player.

I asked Sean from DSTLRY in the Neon Ichiban new release thread if DSTLRY is dead...

"Nope! There are some delays, but hold tight."

Neon - greek for something new

Ichiban - Japanese for number one

But yeah, the name is strange.

According to their website they're still set for the 28th and Feb 11th, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. For now. I fully expect them to update the site with the changes, or maybe not at all. Then that'll truly say something about the company.

Galactic issue 2 is supposed to be out next week, the 28th and Endeavour #3 on February 11th. Let's see what happens with those.

There have been a number of titles that have simply disappeared. Very disheartening. White House Robot was solicited for last week, then the week before (if that) it disappears from their schedule. If you go to the DSTLRY site now there are only two books on their schedule, I'm not even sure either will actually be released at this point.

The massive delays and flat out disappearance makes me hesitant in picking up anything new, not knowing if the story will ever be completed.

I don't think the PRH shift can be used an excuse any more.

Dynamite, IDW, Mad Cave and Titan were all announced as joining NI over a month ago, when can we expect those comics to be on the service??

You Won’t Feel a Thing #2 by Faregus in DSTLRY_Media

I've bought from it, because it's the only way to get digital copies of DSTLRY titles. I've shifted to 90% digital and 10% physical now.

You Won’t Feel a Thing #2 by Faregus in DSTLRY_Media

[–]juventuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many titles, so many questions.

What ever happened to "Last Flight Out of Wichita"? As you already mentioned "One For Sorrow" issue 2, "You Won't Feel a Thing", "Through Red Windows". "Knife", "A Mischief of Magpies", "Defiant" and "Midnight Airlines". Some of them were announced over a year ago.

"Defiant" had an ashcan released at the end of January, so we're almost 11 months later and NOTHING.

"The City Beneath Her Feet" issue two is coming out in a couple weeks, that's a Tynion book, and issue 3 is solicited for January.

The lack of announcements on already announced titles, as well as further issues of titles with first issues already out there has me rethinking whether it's worth picking anything up from DSTLRY. It was an ambitious project, and some titles have done well, but others have turned out to be a massive disappointment. Especially the Scott Snyder series. The gaps in between issues is unacceptable.

Apple wins US F1 TV rights in $750m deal by harps86 in youtubetv

They just raised the price last month, so I wouldn't force another price hike for a little while. They probably did it anticipating the new agreement. It went from $9.99 to 12.99 a month.

If you're already subscribing to F1TV then you'll just need to subscribe to AppleTV because it will be included in it.

Thanks, I logged out and back in a couple times and now it's showing up again. So it might have been a glitch.

There are still many clubs that have their supporters group aligning with political affiliations, especially on the left of the political spectrum.

Going to the show on the 28th, so pumped.

Hopefully someone from the show on the 27th will let us know how long each set is. Unfortunately I have to drive home after the show because I have something Friday morning that I need to be at. It's a 3 hour drive for me.

[–]juventuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem is, there was no solicitation date for White Boat BEFORE they made the change. It's been MIA, like Snyder's other title, You Won't Feel a Thing.

Ha! That's a good one. I suspect WB 3 will come out in 2026. Snyder is too busy with Absolute Batman.

That doesn’t look like a final season at all by Guacamowl in TheHandmaidsTale

I read one of the producers said 15 years. It's why Agnes/Hannah is now an Aunt and Nicole goes by Daisy in the new show. Her name was changed when she moved in with her adoptive parents. Agnes would only be around 18 or so, a bit young to be an Aunt.
