No, the Sawx ain't going away. I'm just happy that it seems the Rays have cooled off a tiny bit from their insane hot streak during July. On the plus side, for both the Sawx and Rays, the Orioles lost, finally creating some separation between the top 2 teams in the AL East and everybody else. It's looking more and more like a 2 horse race for the division, and both team will most likely make the postseason. -
Good stuff from Peavy in his first start for the Sawx today. 7 strong innings, 2 runs given up and a W. It's only one start, but he looked like the guy the Sawx were hoping he would be when they traded for him. If he pitches like this for the rest of the year then the Sawx are in good shape.

This made me think of great bassists. It sucks tha most of rock bass is basically just the guy plucking the same notes as some of the guitar line an octave lower. Tghank God there is Jazz and Funk to show what the bass guitar can really do: Tal Wilkenfeld https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLEGQ4VO4Uo Victor Wooten http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVQEe8OI3zk Marcus Miller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zfJuezN_xA And, just so we don't leave rock out, it IS possible to have sick bass in a rock song. I'll let my man Geddy Lee demonstrate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbsC_fGArVc

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqLxfFEzw5I This is about as prog as prog progs. And, keeping with the prog theme, Emerson Lake and Palmer - Karn Evil 9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeQsZOQqO6I And Yes - Roundabout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M ****, this is an amazing song. The bass just punches and drives so hard it's almost unfair. Chris Squire is so underrated it's mind-boggling. These days most bassists just pluck a note or two that matches and accentuates the guitar track, my man was laying down intricate harmonies like a boss. Music this awesome still exists today but it's generally deep underground and not generally popular because people are idiots and they'd rather listen to bubblegum pop garbage. I hate people.

Yes it is, it absolutely is. You did better than I did. I died 4 times before I ever made it to Skadovsk as a sniper. I really need to get a better sniper rifle. The 1891/30 (Nagant) is a decent gun, but it's just way too slow firing because it's bolt-action to take on anything beyond 1 or 2 enemies at a time (the meager 5 round magazine doesn't help either), unless you get your ass perched up in a real good inaccessible spot with good cover. I need to get my hands on a Dragunov SVD, then it's on like mother ****ing Donkey Kong dealing semi-auto death from afar. Of course, I'd trade the Dragunov's semi-auto firing rate for the slower firing bolt-action Sako TRG-42 any day, because of the ridiculous stopping power and ruthless accuracy, but I don't envision getting one of those until much later in the game. No way they would let me have an uber killing gun like that early on.

The only critic I put any trust in ripped Pacific Rim apart. I'll see it when it comes out on video. /shrugs

Absolutely, and if you're stupid enough to lead the pigs back through the minefield a whole bunch of them should by all means get blown up (assuming you didn't disarm every single mine in the entire minefield). I don't want the game dumbed down just because little Timmy might get upset because he can't be bothered to use common sense.

Looks like its also being touted as an online multiplayer game from what I can see... Because that's what it *is*. Did anybody seriously think Capcom is gonna pour a $100 million into a massive singleplayer Skyrim-killer PS4-exclusive game? Capcom ain't a charity and financial debacles are no longer acceptable. Because there is no chance an online game could become a financial debacle. /looks in Project Copernicus' direction //glances over at APB

The radio stations are pretty good. I still wish they would have added a user station.

Also, the Iron Man 3 poster has unnecessary diagonals (that ridiculous trend just won't die), while the Thor one doesn't. They're not even remotely the same.

Woot! I got a coalescent ward from a coffer which allowed me to finally fuse together my 4 lesser lifedrinker enchantments into a single lifedrinker enchantment, which I promptly slotted into my axe. I was off on the amount of extra damage/health gain it gives, it's 6.1% not 6.6%, but oh well. Curiously, it didn't affect my gear score at all. Now I guess I need to go out and adventure or something to try it out and see if I can notice the difference in damage and healing.

Until they make monitors with MUCH thinner bezels that are actually affordable, I'm not splurging for a multi-monitor setup.

And I just got a purple slotted shirt, which means: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjTjtJDZomw All Purpled Out, Don't Know What To Do. Actually, I do know what to do. I gotta fill up all those empty enchantment slots. As it stand my gear score is 10.1k. I don't want to put scrubber enchantments into my slots because it costs mucho astral diamonds to unslot them, so I'd rather wait to put all rank 7s (or higher but that's not gonna happen). I estimate I should get to gear score 12k+ with all rank 7s and around 32% critical and 13% lifesteal with an additional 6.6% damage and heal (from Lifedrinker Enchantment). Once that happens (not any time soon), I'll be nearly indestructible as I'll be healing naturally just from hitting enemies faster than they can damage me, especially when I critical (which will be about 1/3 of the time) which will drive up the amount I heal even more. Edit: Also, I'm almost t leadership lev 18. Good gravy, it takes so freakin' long to level up leadership.

EPIC comeback win for the Sawx tonight! They were down 7 to 1 entering the 8th and 7 to 2 entering the 9th, then scored 6 times in the bottom of the 9th to take the game and sweep the series. Had they lost they would still be in a virtual tie for first, with the win they're up by 1. The 1 game swing isn't so much important, what is is the fact that this is the kind of things that teams of destiny do. Not saying call them the champs, there's a lot of season left, but that kind of comeback is generally indicative of a team that's going deep. On the "trade deadline" front, the Peavy trade was definitely good for the Sawx. If you look simply at the numbers it looks like a bad deal for the Sawx as Iglesias was batting .330 at the time of the trade. What the numbers don't tell is that Iglesias is a lifetime .240 batter in AAA and got off to an insanely hot and completely unsustainable start (tons of infield hits, freak bloop hits, etc.). Since that hot start he's hit about .200 for the last month. He's a really good defensive shortstop, but no way is he a .330 hitter over the course of a season. He's not even a .300 or .280 hitter. Best case scenario for Iglesias is about .265 or .270 with 5 HR and maybe 50 RBI over the course of a season. The Sawx sold high on him and got a solid pitcher in Peavy who, while he's not 2007 Peavy, nor will he ever be again, can still be a solid #2 or #3. This shores up a battered pitching staff and once Buchholz comes back (whenever that is) you're looking at a rotation of Buchholz, Lester, Peavy, Lackey, and Dempster or Doubront. You can win a title with that rotation. Also, back to Iglesias, the Sawx have better prospects at both SS and 3rd ready to come up or come back (Xander Bogaerts, Will Middlebrooks).

I really want to play the sniper class in CoP Misery 2.0 so I restarted the game. Man, the place they start you off as a sniper is so much rougher than where they start you off as an Assaulter (can't compare a Recon as I haven't tried that yet). You have to take a roundabout way and hope not to run into packs just to get to Skadovsk. It took me 4 tries today just to make it to Skadovsk.

I really hope they actually pull this off.
