Okay, that might just be the post of the year (just in time!). I unliked this post just so that I could like it again.

Dark Post-Apocalypse
Maybe we're all reading this wrong? Maybe it's Dark Post Apocalypse, as in all the posts will die, there will be no more posting? Or it could be that all the posts become really dark. Maybe we'll all be ousted and Obsidian Forums will just be a bunch of goths posting? Or maybe we'll become assimilated and become goths ourselves? /shudders

Hoops 13-14
I didn't think you were knocking Oden's commitment at all. All reports out of Miami are that Oden is working exceptionally hard on rehab. Being drafted ahead of Durant certainly isn't a plus. Bennett appears to be far more of a fail based on talent, and not injuries. No one has doubted Oden's talent or dominance when he is healthy - the problem is that his knees (at least so far) have just been train wrecks. Just a different perspective. Yeah, Oden is a draft bust because his body won't let him play, not because he isn't trying. Bennett just looks lost and unmotivated, which is worse in a lot of ways (he's still very young and could turn it around, though). The fact that Oden was picked in front of the second coming of Larry Bird (Small forward, scoring machine, deadly accurate shooter form absolutely anywhere on the court, well above average ball handler, above average defender, high basketball IQ, 50-40-90 club member) magnifies the disappointment (again, not for lack of him trying) that he has become. Fun fact: 50-40-90 Club Members - The Full List: Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Steve Nash, Mark Price, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant.

Hoops 13-14
I'm not knocking Oden's commitment to the game, he's really trying. That doesn't change that he's played all of 80 games in his entire career and the guy drafted after him is the best scorer in basketball, without a shadow of a doubt the second best player in the entire NBA, and a guy who may well go down as one of the 15 or 20 best players of all time.

point buy or roll for stats?
Kind of reminds of those characters we "rolled" up when I was about 13 and first discovered the AD&D game and got to take home my buddy's copy of the PHB and practice creating some characters. "Well sure I rolled up this paladin with 18/00 Str, 17 Dex, 18 Con, 12 Int, 14 Wis and 17 Cha, with 4d6 drop lowest. Why would I lie about something like that?" Oh yeah, I "rolled" those types of characters too. Eventually it dawned on me that it's much more fun to play flawed characters than min-maxed ones, but it took many years. The whole point of rolling a character is that it's random. You get what you get and you work with it. I'll go so far as rerolling any stat that doesn't meet the requisite for the class I want to play(e.g. a 6 str for a fighter in AD&D 2nd ed), but beyond that, whatever I get, that's what I get and I deal with it. If you're just going to "keep rolling" until you get the exact stats you want, don't bother, just write them in. I once had a Cleric with 5 Int in a game of AD&D. That was one of the most fun characters I ever got to roleplay as I did my darnedest to play things like someone who has a high wisdom and low intelligence. Good times.

Garrett is a problem in that he doesn't have the spine to stand up to Jerry and put his foot down. Of course, if he did have the spine he'd get fired and another puppet would get installed. Yes, Jerry is absolutely the ultimate problem. He owns the team and I really doubt he'll ever swallow his pride and hire a real GM and let him run the team, like he should. Edit: And Schwartz just got fired. No surprise there considering the team was in all out free fall mode.

New Year Resolutions
I successfully pulled that off over the past year and a half or so (though without it being any sort of strict resolution). I still swear a bit, but not as much as I used to, and I'm a lot more mellow about everything, taking things in stride. I still will get worked up once in a while, but I cool off much more quickly and generally before I do or say something I later regret.

That would be pretty sweet if Obama grew a goatee to play up the whole evil thing with everyone blaming him for everything wrong with the world. My pops is the best. It's so easy to get him going. All I have to do is say "Obama" or he pops up on TV, and my dad will immediately call him a douche and get all flustered and pissed off. It's hilarious. If it's not a week I visit, then I call him up and get him going at least once a week. Good times.

Sadly, not Jason Garrett. Even better would be if Dallas fired its GM, but that's obviously not going to happen (Jerry's not going to fire himself).

And Orton pulls a Romo to end the game and the Cowboys season. How fitting. And we get the Cowboys finishing 8-8 (again) and missing the playoffs (again), just like we all knew we would. Same movie, different year. Good news is we get to watch the same movie again next year.

If people get to reroll ad infinitum there's no point in rolling at all, just let them write in whatever stats they want.

Chargers get in after a wild and wacky game.

Both the Dolphins and Ravens shat the bed with the playoffs on the line, which opens the door for the Chargers who will be playing against the chiefs second unit. If the Chargers also manage to **** the bed then the Stillers inexplicably would get in.

Dark Post-Apocalypse
Maybe when the apocalypse that wiped out civilization as we know it happened, lighting technology miraculously came through unscathed and continued to flourish. Maybe as all the other aspects of technology and civilization collapsed, the survivors (mutant and non-mutant) continued working feverishly on higher efficiency illumination. I mean, that should be a priority, right?
