  1. I detect the ever so slight sense of sexism in your posts..... But seriously, Geralt is certainly a focal point of the story, as he is in the books and the game no doubt, but that does not mean he's the sole principal character. That clearly is not the case.
  2. I saw that, but MLB also stated that it was player driven and no player were suspended. It's hard to see how this doesn't taint the 2017 title in some form, particularly since, at the time, the Dodgers thought Yu Darvish was tipping his pitches. Regardless, this is going to throw the Astros in some disarray. More importantly, I think punishing he GM and the manager is the wrong approach: it damages the team to be sure, but those guys weren't where the sign stealing started and, even if they didn't stop it, they also weren't encouraging it. Seems to me those suspensions should go to the players themselves and the GM and manager might get smaller suspensions?
  3. Hey Benji. Nice alt.
  4. Not if you're trying to introduce Yen as an equal to Geralt. Not having read the books or played the game, I get the sense that Yen, Geralt, and Ciri are three of a kind, at least when it comes to being outsiders, so you would need to introuduce all of them before you can build a world around them.
  5. They still scored 31 on the Chiefs, a week after eliminating the Bills. Fans looking to fire the coach after getting the team to and winning a game in the playoffs are simply being unreasonable, especially when the Texans got there without their star defensive player.
  6. Boy did they. It looked like they were going to get blown out, now they head into the locker room with a lead.
  7. Except Mahomes followed that season up with another great one. Jackson was always one bad game away from being exposed, not because he's a bad QB, but because he doesn't have a team around him.
  8. What the fuck is wrong with you?
  9. Once you figure out what's going on, it isn't really a problem. As a narrating technique, it has a lot of potential.
  10. That's kind of an opinion piece, tbh. At any rate, I'm interested to know what kind punishment could possibly be meted out anyway. Lifetime bans would be draconian, but there really isn't much else that could happen. You can't ban the team from play, and you can't punish players that weren't involved. Maybe in season suspensions for some players?
  11. That's some nice metal guitar there.
  12. I like it, too. But, the flashback sequencing really throws you off.
  13. Yeah. He paces it so that what might seem like bad news has a relatively happy ending in context. It serves to give a sobering picture of the times without burdening the individual with it.
  14. I like it too, mostly because Henry Louis Gates, Jr. has a compassionate way of presenting it.
  15. I don't remember that, and I don't trust your memory.
  16. No, he was just likable.
  17. @crackymckrackinis still a great dude, even if he can't read anymore.
  18. Olmoldy... another of San Diego's finest citizens.
  19. Also, you can't say he wasn't brilliant in his Zombieland cameo.
