I always thought that was the way to go. My parents were OK with it, but my GF's parents never were. To me, it helped me realize I didn't need to marry one girl! A year lease is a LOT cheaper than a marriage!

Man, this show is so well crafted! So I pay attention to things like the aspect ratios, the video specs (like 30 frames video versus 24 FPS for film), and the color grading. When episode four fired up I was like "wait, they've gone all cinematic??" Which then makes sense because we returned to the MCU after all. Super fascinating! I can't wait to see what happens as Wanda continues to grieve for Vision. Though we are starting to see Vision become more aware of things in Wanda's world. I wonder how all of that will play out.

It's going to be quite interesting come draft night. I can absolutely see the Panthers picking Jones at 8. Or trading down to like 12 to pick him and get another pick. Or drafting the best OT on the board. Or best skill player. Or....well anyone else. There are a lot of scenarios being played out, and one thing we all can recognize about the draft is that it never goes to plan. There are crazy trades up and down, teams drafting 2nd rounders in the top 10, and the rise and fall of draft picks on the day of the draft...

Everyone has a price in the NFL, but you'd have to really be sure you are as good a team builder as you think you are. 2 1sts, 2 2nds, Brown, Chinn and Burns for a 25 year old QB with a $40 million cap hit after the season. While the Panthers do have some good talent, and Watson would be a fantastic addition; there's isn't too much else there. Sure, we have a really good set of WRs, but Samuel is probably gone leaving Robby and DJ and....a bunch of JAGs. OL pretty spotty, even with resigning Moton. CMC is fantastic, but he's going to be dependent on who gets him the ball and who can block for him. On defense, giving up those three leaves us with mostly nothing. Shaq's a great guy, but he's not a world changing LB. Then we have a bunch of rookies or untested guys. So while I'd love to have Watson, losing him for that amount would set us back 3-4 years. I'm not a fan at all of leaving the cupboard that bare. If Houston wants value, they need to get this done before the draft. If they try to sit on Watson until training camp, they aren't going to get anything near what they would over the next two to three months.

Wow..... Hahahaha..... hahahaha... I can't believe that happened the way it did... Wow....

I agree that there are a lot of things that go into a 4th quarter comeback. But at the end of the day, the QB is the most important position on a football team. It is up the the marriage of the coach, OC, and the QB to make these plays happen. There is so much that goes into that final 4-2 minute offense when the game is on the line. But the coach can't suit up. It's up to the QB. If they can't pull the trigger when needed to make the plays, then what can you do? Like how many times at the end of games did Teddy throw a 2 yard route on a 8 yards to go? At the end of the day, as a fan and keyboard warrior, I feel like we need someone who has the moxie and the playmaking ability to get the ball where it needs to go. If Brady was the cause of Teddy's issues, then fire him and find someone else who can do a better job.

Oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't coach player confidence. You can give them a system, teach them the reads, drill those situations, etc. But at the end of the day, you can't play for them. As much as I like Teddy B the person, he doesn't have the IT a NFL QB needs. Teddy is a perfectly serviceable QB who can win you some games. But when you need the QB to make some plays, he's shown that he's too risk adverse. Think about KC. They are literally never out of it because we've seen for the past three season Patrick Mahomes do some bat-poo crazy things to score a boatload of points. Or Brady? Or even Brees? What about Jake? Or even Cam? You need a QB who you can get behind. Not a QB who will keep you behind.

https://gizmodo.com/reddit-s-anarchic-investors-to-hedge-funds-i-hope-the-1846135080 I was just about to post this. One of the top comments points out of ridiculous the entirety of the stock market is and how we're all dumb for giving our money to companies to invest on our behalf. But finding out that it's putting leverage on a billionaire makes me smile. My hope though is for the actual employees of GameStop. Not sure what good can come for them, but I just hope for their betterment.

I just got caught up with all three episodes...Holy poop! What an incredible series thus far! Yes, it's better than The Mandalorian, but it shouldn't take away from that show. Mando is very much a Space Western, which has it's charm. I LOVE the different themed episodes. I'm very curious how Wanda was able to expel the "friend" who helped her birth her babies, and how "real" that world is. Are we going to 80s, Wonder Years vibe this Friday? I wonder if Wanda is in the center of this "storm" she created as she processes her grief with Vision's death? Or since we've seen some segments of Vision alone, if she somehow brought him back from the dead since he is an AI. I can't wait to see more!

I think that you have to absolutely try. Franchise QBs don't grow on trees. If there's a way to make it happen, you have to see. Houston is a dumpster fire right now. They traded their best WR last year, they have alienated their franchise QB, and they don't have a lot of team to build Watson. They need to maximized their assets moving forward to rebuild the team.

I love catching light rays! Did you edit your photos at all? The sky's appear just a little BLUE to my eyes =P

I love big dogs! I wish my dogs traveled well, they don't at all. One gets car sick, the other wants to sit on the driver and barks the whole time...

I'm super stoked! The concept in the trailer is pretty amazing. I can't wait to see what it ends up being!

I did to. I love all the promotional materials for the film. It looked like it could have been, and there was so much good. Call it bad direction, bad editing, whatever, but WB ruined that movie. It could have been a lot of fun, but they missed the point of the film themselves about short cuts...

Their problem is that they are trying to outdo Marvel. Instead, they need to work on telling good and interesting stories. With new Batman - deal with his psychology through his years as batman as he has to deal with a supervillian. Superman - put him in the middle of the cold war. That's something that would make for an interesting story. Wonder Woman - I wanted more out of her relationship with Steve. Again, I think 84 could have been a fantastic movie because the story bones with her and Steve were so good. Overall, I'd say DC has a lot more "grim-dark" than Marvel does. They should play into that without painting everything with a heavy brush. Contrast is good, both visual and storytelling. People love when characters have to make terrible choices and deal with the consequences. Marvel hasn't done too much of that, but they hit the nail on the head with great casting, storytelling, effects.

I enjoyed it. I mean, I have no intention of watching it again, but it was fun once. I wish they had spent more time with Steve and Diana, because that relationship was the crux of the first one. There were lots of good individual performances, and they would occasionally intersect for a cool scene. Either some studio hack ruined the script, or the editor muffed it all up. There was a good and fun movie there, but it got lost in some real stupid BS.

You should be fine. I get in the 30-60fps with my CrapBox PC (In rooms, it's great! Driving...ewww). I'm playing at 1080p and solid Medium settings. It's really a beautiful game. I've only put a couple of hours into it so far, but I can't wait to jump back in.

I have an i7-4790 / 16gb of RAM / RX 580. Got my idiot-engineered power system for my GPU set up. I should be OK. Epic is offering a $10 coupon that I can add on any purchase. I'll be jumping in soon.

My anticipation is killing me. I'm waiting on the mail for a power supply for my PC. Once that gets installed, I think I'm going to jump in. Even with the bugs, I keep hearing about how amazing the game is.

Yep, that's what I'm doing. I waited a good long while for Witcher 3 (actually, the game of the year version lol) before I bought it. Not sure I'll wait quite that long on Cyberpunk, but I'm going to give it plenty of time to work!

I think CDPR bit off more than they could chew with this game. For me, I think I'll sit out for a bit until the performance issues sort themselves out. Digital Foundry has some really great breakdowns on the performance of the game on PC and consoles. Surprisingly, the Xbox Series S at 30fps has one of the most solid visual presentations because of the lower resolution. Goes to show that the new consoles don't have the GPU guts we thought they did. Forget 8k gaming... The PS5 and Series X struggle with 1440p and above in a lot of games. Yay for dynamic resolution scaling!

OMG, this is probably the best part of this game launch time! I'd love to sit down and play it, but I don't have the time or system requirements. This is the best glitch ever. Floppy ding dongs for everyone!

The Xbox Series X footage that I've seen from IGN is kind of jawdropping. Man, what an amazing feat for both the PS5 and Series X! What a great time to be a gamer!

Pat McAfee said it best: If companies that make lots of their revenue (like the NCAA Tournament) are willing to pass on the cash rather than possibly spread the disease then it must be BIG. It's not just another "flu." We've studied the flu for decades. This is brand new, and we need to be mindful. I have a friend with a medically fragile child. If that virus get's to them, they will die. So for some people, it's really important.
