For your grandma, I think Papers, Please will be much too difficult, I'm afraid. You have to be pretty quick in that game, both in using your controls as well as looking over and comparing different bits of text on characters' passports and such...and the game gets harder and harder as it progresses.

I am seriously amazed that we pulled this off TWICE @Cowboys, especially when our team is seriously in such freaking shambles this time. Good lord.

I don't see why teams don't throw it every single time against us. I know there's underlying philosophy for as to why you don't, but our DBs really are complete and total trash - bad positioning, terrible at making open-field tackling, never making plays on the ball. Not even our safeties, which were a strength last year, have looked that good so far*. *At coverage, I should say.

and the refs are utter trash already, good to know. not sure what's been up with that, but every packers game has had absolutely terrible officiating - we were huge benefactors against the seahawks, but it was the other way around for the falcons and bengals, and a little bit for the bears. not a good start.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure only dummies argue that men and women have the same biological makeup. ...That's not to say those dummies aren't out there, but they are dummies.

Hmm...

in other news, davante adams was decapitated last week but has somehow cleared the concussion protocol and will play against the cowboys. I guess if it was a clean cut all they have to do is reattach the head, really

You just post the link, and it automatically converts them for you under most circumstances (it only does 2 videos automatically per post, and it doesn't like it if you do both https and the URL shortener at once). Your link has the URL bbcode included in/overruling it, hence why it didn't automatically become an embedded video. So your link looks like [u.rl=ht.tps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-oHBkikDBg], but it should actually just look like ht.tps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-oHBkikDBg. This can be annoying to deal with if you're in the normal post editor - if you click the light switch at the top left of your post editor, it should clarify the bbcode stuff. However, the editor is currently broken (and has been for probably a couple of years now), and doesn't recognize linebreaks, making it difficult to read your longer posts.

I'm just praying that Rodgers will have his offensive line this game. No more 5 guards out there at once, please.

I finished Life Is Strange. Probably one of the top 3 new games I've played in the last decade.

I'm pretty sure he's had comments like that in the past, so it didn't really come as a surprise to me. I guess they were kind of smoothed over since his MVP year, though. It's much easier to forgive a person for stupid stuff...and sometimes even horrifying stuff...when you like them for other reasons, I guess.

anime/video games were a mistake

Yeah, I fell asleep right after the saints-dolphins game because it was so dreadfully boring, and woke up to some...interesting results on the day, to say the least.

this saints-dolphins game is making me wish north korea would bomb us

​What the hell, Europe. The currency sign is on the wrong end, theres an unnecessary gap where the comma should be, and said comma should be a decimal point! Anyway, Google says that equals $59,063.50 at todays exchange rate! Crikey! I always thought having the sign after makes the most sense for normal usage, but apparently the reason it comes before is because if you place the sign at the beginning, and place the decimal point and the amount of cents at the end (even if it's just 00), the number can't be easily modified. If you place the sign at the end, there's nothing to prevent another number being written at the beginning (e.g. 20.00$ -> 120.00$). It's probably not quite as applicable now as it was (seeing as most everyone just usages credit/debit cards where fraudulent charges can be reversed, for the most part), though.

It's not a coincidence that most of the top players of twitch-based esports are invariably teens and very young adults. ...Of course, the fact that they have more time on their hands to practice their craft than older players probably also has something to do with it, I'm sure.

The Green Bay Infirmary for NFL Players Whose Bodies Don't Work Good opens today.

I think it was "crowd", but "crew" also kinda works.

I'm surprised AAA publishers haven't attempted to capitalize on crowdfunding yet, to be honest. At least as a way of gauging interest in perhaps "less safe" ideas that they're not sure about.

Interestingly, it wasn't even until 2009 that teams came out for the national anthem anyways - until the Department of Defense started funneling money into the NFL to try to boost recruiting. Hmph.

Also, on an unrelated note, I finally heard my first game of Tony Romo. He's still a little unpolished, but gosh dang, is he a breath of fresh air or what compared to the rest of these scrub announcers? He's having fun with it, and he's actually often insightful. Listening to most of the rest of the dull and unhelpful bums besides maybe Al and Chris sometimes really drives home how little most of these guys are actually contributing unless you're just listening to radio...and I think they actually have separate radio announcers, so what's the danged point?
