I meant to say Xdefiant might be worth playing (not Valorant) and it will be free to play. I played a couple of alpha/betas of it, and it's a hero based shooter like Apex or CoD set in the Ubisoft "universe." You have factions from different Ubisoft properties fighting against each other. I got it c...

Our Board of Trustees just passed (yesterday) a new policy on free speech and political activities on campus. Basically, no viewpoint should be shielded from our students as long as the discussion is rational. They further define what is permissible for demonstrations etc. But we've had not protests...

Oscar bait, but I'll watch it.

I don't think he can do that to Gilmour who owns or runs the name/brand "Pink Floyd" because Waters left the band. Gilmour is just tired of playing those songs, I guess. He puts out a live album or two for each of the recent tours and they'll have 90% Pink Floyd hits (including the post-Waters stuff...

Funny you mention Fearless, from Meddle. David Gilmour has a new album coming out in September and he plans to tour, but doesn't plan to play the big 70s hits - which I assume mean tracks from Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were, Here, Animals (which is more of a Roger Waters thing these days) and ...

The second one removed the pay to win stuff early on and was a good game. They dropped support early though to help finish Battlefield V, which was a mistake on both ends. The classic Battlefront from 20 years ago and Lucasgames studios has been remastered and released for consoles. That's a great g...

Things never said north of the Mason Dixon line: “we got tickets to college baseball.”

Your loss.

Battlefront are Star Wars games. The Finals is free to play and out now, and Valorant is out soon

Are the old Battlefront games on Game Pass? Or even the newer one?

We got tickets to Clemson baseball on Saturday. We planned on going up Saturday morning for a 2PM game. Do some stuff on campus, stay the night and drive back Sunday morning and stop by to see my mother in law on the way home. Clemson moved the Saturday game up to Friday as part of a doubleheader. O...

Gerry Dulac says the Steelers aren't picking up Najee's 5th year option. Interesting.

I saw the injury news the other day plus the fact that he's already 32!

What's the big red button for in the center? Jump to light speed? NO2?

Outstanding. I am jealous. One of our student workers just finished 3D printing his Clone Trooper helmet for the holiday lol

He's getting close. But man I hope they start hitting by the time he gets up here.

Roger Goodell wants to drop another preseason game, add an 18th game which would push the Superb Owl to President's Day Weekend.

I like most of that. Not sure the NFLPA is going to go for that though.

My university of 10000 students could not give less of **** about any of this. Fortunately.

My oldest graduates in June, and he is going with a friend on a senior walk through the friend's elementary school and middle school. My son, of course, went to other schools outside of this district. But he gets out of a couple of days of school, so why not. Anyway, he's going to go up to some rand...

I'm at the beach.

Mlodzinski is probably close to be ready to be called up, so he could take Bednar's place on the roster. (I knew he played for the loathsome Gamecocks, but didn't know he's from Hilton Head. Win some, lose some )

Shogun was the best season of television in the last five years.

Yes.

You really do have some definite opinions on things, NTP.

And the one guy who went outside the MLB Pirates hitting coaches - Hayes - is doing well. And managed to get the guy who helped him fired (Nunnally). Good times.

Hmm, water cooling has always scared me because of the humidity here...and my fear I would **** something up during the install. :lol: I don't overclock, and the Peerless Assassin 120 keeps my 7600x at 60-65 c at full load (and BF 2042 is a very CPU intensive game). It isn't even loud, probably beca...

While true on Bednar and Chapman, if the Pirates hitters could string together some hits and score a few more (or any) runs, outcomes would be different. That's what my concern is: the lack of developed hitters in the system. Pitching seems to be OK, for the most part, but no or few big bats in the ...
