  1. In college my friend was doing a photography project for some elective he was taking. We went down near General Mills to some of the abandoned grain sites to get shots. Picture where Riverworks is now for the Buffalo crowd. Well within twenty minutes we had four patrol cars on site and I was thrown to the ground in a pile of goose ****. All of us were arrested for trespassing and our car towed. It’s super funny to be at Riverworks and see people snapping pictures in front of the very site I was arrested a few years prior. We pled our case to the cops, but they kept saying we must have ditched our paint/drugs before they came. I think they knew arresting us was ridiculous, but they did it anyway.
  2. I was in need of a “new” game, so having been inspired by this thread I dusted off the old Xbox360 and started a new character in OBLIVION. While I expected the graphics to seem dated, I was taken aback by just how dated it does look. I remember it being the nicest looking game I had ever seen when it was first released. Apart from that it is still one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. Perfect middle ground between the great (but often frustrating) Morrowind and the beautiful (but too simplistic) Skyrim. I’ll be hooked for a while.
  3. I can’t see him going back to play with Irving so I just can’t imagine it’d be Boston. Golden State would be an affront to Basketball fans everywhere. At least if he goes to Philly it’s a young team that hasn’t proven a whole lot yet. I wouldn’t mind seeing Lebron there if he must leave Cleveland.
  4. I was like “meh cool,” until I saw her crush the beer after with the ball still in. Really bumps her up a notch.
  5. Shocked how gullible some people are calling him an idiot like that was literally the reason he is quitting. From what I hear the pay is garbage and I take this as a funny troll job on the way out, which was happening with or without the drafting of Allen.
  6. Well that certainly explains how flat and emotionless they came out in OT.
  7. I just don’t see how he clearly beat Durant to the spot. It seems they got there at the same time, which would favor the offensive player. The on air official is irrelevant, we’ve all watched NFL games and it’s laughable how off they often are. The on court officials ruled it another way. I already granted that the reason for review in the first place was bogus so I could understand feeling screwed in that regard. I don’t think “everybody” is in agreement on anything. The officials disagreed, there is a variety of opinions in this very thread, and I’m hearing people at work today disagree. I personally saw and still see a blocking foul.
  8. Baseball and the NHL offside challenges definitely starting pushing me over the edge. The Kelvin Benjamin overturned TD last season was the final straw. Get rid of it all.
  9. Definitely should have a narrower scope of what can be reviewed, I’ll agree with that even if they got the call right. I count myself among the growing faction of fans who would love to eliminate ALL video review. Mostly from banging my head against the wall with the NFL, but I’m basically there now.
  10. The reason I like the NBA is that I don’t have any real rooting interests and can just enjoy a competitive exciting game. I was extremely entertained last night, good game from start to finish. In real time I thought it was a block and after replay I still think that. Lebron’s right foot was still moving when contact took place. At best you can argue it was the same time, which with my understanding of the rule favors the offensive player. The reasoning behind the review seems bogus, but I think the right call was made. JR is so weak trying to act like he knew it was tied. One of the worst blunders I’ve ever seen. Once again though, extremely entertained last night. Hope every game is like this and it will be a great series.
  11. I definitely got sucked into this one and “Wild Wild Country”.
  12. Witcher 3 is probably the best game on ps4. I’m a big fan of the Souls series, so Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne are must plays. Of course any Elder Scrolls game is a must play, although I maintain that Skyrim was trash compared to Oblivion. Completely dumbed down in almost every way although is gorgeous to look at. I’ve been desperate for a new game, but I’m usually very underwhelmed by most titles these days. I really only love RPGs and there hasn’t been many great titles of late.
  13. I had 7/5/6, didn’t box it because I didn’t want to put more money in the self service machine. FML
  14. What an idiot!
  15. In Europe they stab each other over soccer. I would keep the problem of drunk teenagers ten days out of the year in perspective. This is the same group that eats tide pods.
  16. Hamilton always throws out comments like that. He has been doing it over Sabres lockeroom disfunction for a while, but never gets into details.
  17. Interoffice relationships are against my companies code of conduct. Now I know of no situation where this has ever been enforced, but I am conscious of the potential consequences. I don’t know PSE’s code of conduct, but my point is that it’s very much the coroporations business if they want it to be. If you want to fool around at work or with people you work with, know the potential consequences and live with them if they bite you.
  18. I’m not interested in telling people how to live, but if you’re pursuing sex at work or within the company you leave your job at risk. I would even imagine there is probably language in their employee COC on this very matter. I certainly doubt it was worth it at his pay. Soap box lectures on the stigmatization of male sexuality is irrelevant. Private businesses have rules to follow. Break them and you may lose your job.
  19. The ESPN broadcast made a point to mention Pegula’s love for Allen. If you think that wasn’t a contributing factor ok, but I certainly do. It might work out, it might not. We’ll see...
  20. The sexy picks have been made. I’d like them to stay put and focus on OL.
  21. If you invest in a project QB, do the right thing by him with development. I don’t see any point in rushing him in unless he somehow can’t be denied in camp.
  22. Well...time to just get on board with it.
