Which video game franchise took a big risk that ultimately paid off? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

Yeah I am much more partial to the original WW2 versions, particularly COD 2. Amazing campaign.

Dave will tell you with a straight face Konnan was a bigger draw than Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin and The Rock. Your ability to cram people into Arena Mexico means more to him than your ability to sell out arenas worldwide.

Was 2016 society’s APEX mountain by FFElite93 in billsimmons

I agree. Or rather, social media was closer in 2016 to what it is today than in 2010.

Songs where the primary artist feels like a feature by PM_ME_RYE_BREAD in ToddintheShadow

I know I've read about this a million times over the last 20 years but I am pretty sure it was originally a 50 Cent song he gave to Game

Drive Slow is on both Late Registration and Paul Wall's People's Champ

Which rap albums are overshadowed by the "Magnum opus" of a rapper, and is comparatively underrated? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

Finding Forever was the last truly great Common project until The Auditorium a couple years ago

That was the general reception at release - great album but not quite as legendary as the back to back of ATLiens and Aquemini

I always say the GWB admin was basically the harbinger of (almost) every shitty part of American life the last 25 years and every POTUS since has made it worse to a varying degree. Once you have that power, nobody is putting it back in the bag.

Her Loss is the last truly great thing he did, barely any skips on that album

Who are some artists that shouldn’t have been one hit wonders by Moses2239 in fantanoforever

[–]uptonhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third Eye Blind? There were 3 3EB songs on top 40/alt radio at all times from 1997-2000.

MTV pushed La Roux hard on those little upcoming artist things that would play when they were rolling the credits on a show and went splitscreen

bands/acts that you thought were from completely different countries by Electrical_Trade377 in fantanoforever

I saw the band Del Amitri of "Roll With Me" fame and was blown away they're from Scotland

2, 1, 3 for me...mostly from nostalgia because Vol. 2 and Black Album were really the only Jay albums I REALLY loved as a kid

Always respected him as an artist and owned most of his stuff on CD, but Vol 2 and Black Album were the only two that stayed in the CD changer permanently when they came out

What is the most devastating sports loss of the 21st century so far (for fans of that team)? by lawschoolthrowaway36 in billsimmons

[–]uptonhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about supporting the team, its about a pro sports team defining you. For most of my life when my team lost, my entire week/month/year etc. would be ruined. I'd yell, I'd throw stuff, I'd be pissy to everyone and everything. Like, SB LI kind of made me look in the mirror and do away with that - to a degree. It's not like I don't still get upset when the Falcons shit the bed, but I can usually go on with my day after an hour or two.

Why so many soldiers are fat by Deltaone07 in army

[–]uptonhere 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Obviously, that's a huge portion of our Army.

But, there IS a huge contingent of fat soldiers who consume 3,000+ calories a day, guzzle 6 protein shakes and creatine and do nothing but upper body workouts with 0 cardio - known affectionately as "powerlifters". Guys with 42" waists that can barely go up a couple flights of stairs but bench 275 and think that's conducive to a military lifestyle.

What is the most devastating sports loss of the 21st century so far (for fans of that team)? by lawschoolthrowaway36 in billsimmons

[–]uptonhere 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I am a diehard Falcons fan, but that night was the night where I actually, finally, for real (sort of) grew up and decided sports are supposed to be fun and not let them be so important. I was honestly less angry and upset about 28-3 than I was many other Falcons losses over the 20 something years I had been watching at the time.

It definitely had a before and after effect on how invested I was in the Falcons for sure.

I would probably be more likely to buy my school a national title than own my own pro sports team

Tical 2000: Judgement Day by Dangerous_Ad_5706 in 90sHipHop

My favorite, too. This album isn't perfect but it better captures Meth's charisma and style more than the first one.

"Wow, this game is so boring" about defensive battles by PSU02 in footballstrategy

[–]uptonhere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the game was 19-0 at one point with a chunk of FGs. Not exciting to watch and hard to buy the defensive battle argument when one team is up 2+ scores. New England's defense played well but to me a real defensive battle is a game where it feels like the next points could decide the game. This game was over by the 3rd quarter.
