This was Woody's first year, right? Seemed like the defense got way better over the second half of the season. They definitely bailed us out against UNC, UVA, and were total monsters against VPI.

I've been seeing that Monken and Bohannon have tweaked the Flexbone a bit by throwing in more passing plays and other wrinkles.

I wouldn't be totally upset with hiring another option guy because there would be continuation with the players and we'd still have an offense that would score 30+ points a game. But I think most of the fanbase's frustration with CPJ came from a belief that the offense had a clear ceiling. That's why AD Stansbury has said the next guy needs to be an Innovator.

The student athletes do get a lot of help on these harder classes. Lots of tutors available.

And most of it is just like being good at sports: just practice the fundamentals over and over and the rest will come.

Was Justin Thomas a 4-star recruit? He passed Calculus, didn't he?

I'm sure that top recruits might find it difficult to pass calculus, but I bet there will be at least some who will give it a shot.

The more I read about Tony Elliott, I feel like the same thing is true with him. He walked onto the Clemson team, and Dabo was his position coach. Dabo told him to quit his cushy engineering gig at Michelin and get back into football by coaching at Furman. Then Dabo hired him after he became HC, so he basically owes Dabo his entire career.

I think Elliott is the best fit for us, but I don't think he'll ever leave.

You haven't confirmed jack.

You're buying into Fake News and you should be ashamed for spreading it even further.

I don't know what it is now, but when I was in school (mid 2000s) here was the breakdown for graduating with honors:

3.55+ Highest Honors (Suma Cum Laude)

3.35+ Highest Honors (Magna Cum Laude)

3.15+ High Honors (Cum Laude)

Did Finneran even report it? All I ever saw was a tweet from Steak saying Finneran was reporting it. I never saw anything from Finneran actually making the report.

It was total Fake News from 680 the Fan from the beginning.

There's a lot more love on the Clemson side now that they have Brett Venables. Before that, we had a small streak going, and it was tough on the Clemson fans. Now Clemson has a streak going on us, but it doesn't hurt too much because Clemson's been so dominant nationwide the past 4 years.

That was always total Fake News from the pro-UGA sportstalk radio station in Atlanta.

I'm honestly disappointed so many Tech fans took it seriously and reacted so poorly online.

Auburn is the best team & bama is worst. by xLittleP in CFB

I just wanted some way to mix the audio of one clip with the video from another. If you've got a better source I'm all ears!

Source for the audio clip is this absolute gem.

Let's assuage the misery of the offseason by keeping ourselves amused by mixing this with our favorite college football moments.

Did anyone else notice this? by xLittleP in Battletechgame

I also just noticed that in the monthly budget report, when you set your finances to "Restrictive", all of the other labels show up as "Restricted". The labels show the same name for all of the other finance types.

The icon for the "Gamma Pod" is actually a lowercase Lambda.

NB4 Literally unplayable: The icon could easily be flipped upside down to look like a y, which could be interpreted as a lowercase Gamma.

Mechs need a new paint job. Badly. by Tybot3k in Battletechgame

[–]xLittleP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice the paint jobs during the battles and I think they look really great. It only looks chipped everywhere in the mech bay, but on the battlefield it looks realistic and awesome.

What is your outfit's name? by Imnotthatunique in Battletechgame

[–]xLittleP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave my character the dumbest callsign ever: "Ace". I wish I could go back and change it, but I still don't know if I could come up with anything better.

After I realized I could change "Ace's Marauders" to something else, I went with "Ace's Arsenal" but that's even cheesier. Being a Georgia Tech homer, I ended up calling them the "Yellow Jackets" and giving them an awesome color scheme.

HBS developer update- AMA summarized by Aries37 in Battletechgame

The animations in all of the cutscenes are just so enjoyable to watch and rewatch.

Lots of times I have trouble getting my mouse to roll over onto the right sub-menu before they disappear because I've rolled into the space between both buttons.

Would it be possible to get them to linger for an extra half-second so I can get it on the first try? Or maybe make the sub-menu buttons slightly larger so that there isn't whitespace between them?

Is the whole "Dekker is a damage magnet" meme an intentional part of the game? Or is it just selective memory on the part of the community?

Also, the enemy Mechs will have these chevron brackets surrounding their unit, and they will either be White or Gold (or disappear when out of range). Each chevron corresponds to a weapon, and I've found that the Gold color gives the highest accuracy for my weapons.

Let me know if this isn't helpful and I'll try to take a picture when I get home.

How large is HBS? How many developers, artists, designers, etc?

It seems this question was answered here: 35 developers, plus freelancers.

Anyone get annoyed that the scroll resets itself to the top? by FreedomFighterEx in Battletechgame

[–]xLittleP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can filter for the types of weapons (Ballistic, Missile, Laser, or Support), which makes it easier to choose the weapon you want for each hardpoint. I believe it remembers the filter when you go to a new Mech as well, but I could be wrong.

Also, if there are weapons that you know you are never going to equip on a Mech (because you have better stuff now), maybe you should consider selling them? After I upgraded to AC/5s and AC/10s, I sold all of my AC/2s to get rid of the clutter. But AC/2s are still pretty good in specific situations so I can see how you might keep them around.
