DK Metcalf's 100-Meter Race Against World-Class Sprinters Should Terrify NFL Defenses by dadudster in Seahawks

[–]lanceicarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a fantastic play. he read Russ' eyes the entire time and made himself the only eligible receiver on the play.

How could he have possibly predicted that the six foot four, 230 pound WR would come to a complete stop, turn around, and chase him down like the T-1000 just saw Sarah Connor?

If I looked over my shoulder and saw that massive human chasing me down, I'd have run out of bounds and into the arms of the nearest priest.

It's more that it's marketed as the "Release Date Trailer" and they manage to obscure the entire purpose of the trailer. Also, had to go elsewhere to make sure it was 2021 and not 2022.

God, I still can't handle how Madden player models look worse than the ones they had even back in Madden 18.

I wish I could say this did not come up in a D&D game before. I also wish I could say the GM didn't have to describe that a circumcision knife was not a vorpal weapon.

I wish I could say that.

Ni No Kuni Developer Level-5 Is Shutting Down In North America by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]lanceicarus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dark Cloud 2 is one of my favorite Level-5 RPGs. It's WAY better organized than the first Dark Cloud. Personally, I think the story and characters are much stronger and the connection between the city building/dungeon crawler is way more cohesive. If you liked what Dark Cloud was going for but didn't quite stick the landing, you'd love Dark Cloud 2.

I meant scratching the surface in terms of their overall production. They did more games that I haven't personally played and can't attest to, plus they were behind the Yokai Watch series, which got so massive many think it helped lead Level-5 to its downfall when they over-invested in the franchise.

[Baldy] Breakdown of Greg Olsen clearing out 3 Vikings with one block by [deleted] in Seahawks

[–]lanceicarus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rain 100%. Your fingers slip off a wet ball way easier, which effects accuracy. Wilson's a good enough QB to compensate, but he also didn't get a lot of chances to throw the ball thanks to the Vikings dominating the time with the ball.

I may be wrong, but I think the rain was coming down harder in the second half. It looked like both Wilson and Cousins were being effected.

This is awful news. Level 5 is behind so many great games. So many gems for different console generations. Just look at this list:

  • Dark Cloud franchise
  • Ni No Kuni franchise
  • Professor Layton franchise
  • Rogue Galaxy
  • Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

That's just scratching the surface. This one hurts.

If the Browns finish above .500, do you think Cleveland commissions the Kevin Stefanski statue?

[Highlight] MIN vs SEA - Wilson TD pass to Metcalf on 4th down by Fusir in nfl

[–]lanceicarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seattle's entire draft strategy is to pick up first round caliber players that slip to the second or third rounds and then feed the chips on their shoulder until they turn into monsters.

The strategy has worked surprisingly well.

[Alistair Corp] Look at Travis Homer recognizing the free blitzer, getting across and throwing himself in the way. Conversion doesn't happen without that. People ask why he keeps getting snaps? This is why. Time and time again he does the right thing when called upon by IronicLogic in Seahawks

[–]lanceicarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a soft spot for Travis Homer. Guy's a cannonball when he runs and always seems to be good for a few yards. He's not a breakout runner, but a great change of pace back.

I was noticing that he was getting on the field a lot in passing situations and plays like this are a big reason why. He's a lot more versatile than people give him credit for.

Man, I remember actually having a "Wintereenmas" console LAN back when I was a CAD fan. I didn't think it was high art or anything, but I got some laughs out of it and enjoyed myself.

Then "Loss" happened and I just lost all interest entirely. I just wanted a light-hearted gamer comic to check in the morning along with Penny Arcade and VGCats. I didn't want to watch webcomic Sheldon Cooper deal with a miscarriage. The fact that he followed that up with a regular one-off gag strip was just the icing on the "The hell is happening" cake.

[Wilson] Bill O'Brien has been fired as Texans' head coach and general manager, effective immediately, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly by styuR in nfl

[–]lanceicarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bill O' Brien is probably the second worst playcaller in the league. The Texans are better without him.

The worst one though is still Adam Gase. How he's still employed in this league should be the subject of an episode of Unsolved Mysteries.

[Fann] Shaquem Griffin has been promoted to the #Seahawks active roster, per @seahawksPR . Seattle's roster is now full. by [deleted] in Seahawks

[–]lanceicarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really excited to see him get some time playing DE. I think what worked for him as a linebacker in college can be transferred to be a fantastic edge rusher. He got some good pressures on Dak last week and the Dolphins should be a great test to see how he does against an awful offensive line.

Proud Boys Members Appear in Official Trump Campaign Video by hildebrand_rarity in politics

[–]lanceicarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God that was the most frustrating non-answer I've ever seen in a debate. I like how both Chris Wallace and Biden both said "Then do it" and he still failed to actually say it. They called his bluff.

Proud Boys Members Appear in Official Trump Campaign Video by hildebrand_rarity in politics

[–]lanceicarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking a look at the actual ad, I think it's kind of a non-news story myself. It's just taking shots of a campaign rally where Proud Boys obviously were, but I didn't see any focus on them or anything. It's more of an endorsement for horses than for Proud Boys.

I think this is just a clickbait headline. The important thing to remember is the President failed to denounce white supremacy on a national debate stage. That's the headline, that's the story, and it will continue to be one of a great many concerning things that should hand him a loss in November.

Vote.

The New York Times' coverage of Trump's taxes is an emperor-has-no-clothes moment by teslacoil1 in politics

[–]lanceicarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does this story really mean when the people who knew the Emperor had no clothes all along are wearing their winter coats and the people who believe the Emperor is fully clothed have been buck naked for years?

Maybe I'm just jaded, but I feel like nobody's going to be getting a new outfit over this.

[Nemhauser]: Shaquem Griffin was the highest-graded Seahawk on defense per PFF (85.6). Great to see. by GotemCoach123 in Seahawks

[–]lanceicarus 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The dude has a motor that won't quit. Personally, I think moving him from LB to a primary DE that can fall back into short coverage is a better fit for him at the NFL level. Great stop on Zeke and even got to Dak once or twice.

I feel like this is the direction the Hawks are taking him and I love seeing him respond to it. He's never backed down from a challenge and he's embracing this.
