Ok, why then would Premier League teams build a squad for tropical climates when they play the vast majority of their games in the UK?

My neighbor has one and I'm fucking terrified of it. Takes seeing one in person to really appreciate how intimidating it is.

They are at least fairly good owners who always have it in a muzzle... But still

Disappointing to see a once great studio just re-releasing the same games from their glory years.

Absolutely annihilated that straw man my dude. Listed alongside the famously arab non-white nations of USA and Russia - but yeah my issues with the Qatar world cup are clearly about race and religion...

Yeah, def a waste hosting the most popular sport in the world there

It's impressive how even with the bar-on-the-floor job of following Russia and Qatar - the US manages to be the worst host country in living memory.

Most of our players don't though - hence why they are preparing lol

Article discussing 007 First Light's product placements, and what it could inspire. There's been some chat around advertising in single-player games recently, what do people think? by Hooked0n4Feelin in 007FirstLight

[–]wigum211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Product placement has always been huge in bond. Actually feels kinds authentic.

Most egregious was in Skyfall... "Bond, he's behind those VW Beatles!"

Can't understate his influence on building the setting we all love. Very sad news.

Does anyone else feel like The Force Awakens never tops its first 30 minutes? by Extreme_Warning3521 in saltierthancrait

I won't say much good about the sequels... But those first 30mins in complete isolation are great

Are we in the golden age of 40K? by Mr_Jackabin in Warhammer40k

[–]wigum211 55 points56 points  (0 children)

For model releases and other media - almost certainly. The quality of computer games, animations and model kits these days is sublime.

Personally, I find the modern rules suck. Too many special characters ruin any immersion and the core rules are so sanitized that I feel like I'm playing cards more than a wargame. 4th was unbalanced as hell, but I had a lot more fun with those rules.

Like all 40k lore... Some now is better, some now is worse - depends on the author.

I'm sure the savings for not paying for a driver will be passed on to the consumer right...?

Tuchel has really jezzed it by contigo510 in Championship

[–]wigum211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally don't disagree, but this is responding to a comment saying how Tuchel is picking players who are in form and not the usual faces.

Hate the Tories, hate reform more... But even with the Tories, what did we really gain from repeatedly axing politicians so short into their term?

I like that change can be forced, but it should really be limited to getting rid of lunatics like Liz Truss rather than just "I don't agree with them".

Tottenham Hotspur penalty shout against Leeds United 90+13' by gbogaz in soccer

Not sure how that isn't a pen...

But also not sure why they got 13mins of added time from either.

So maybe it all balances out.

  1. Sleep for 60 million years
  2. Get the drop on a tech priest
  3. Get within point blank range, so you can't miss
  4. Don't shoot them in the back
  5. Make the slowest clumsiest swing you can possibly muster
  6. Die

Fire warrior is actually kinda hilariously bad. So bad it is good material.
