The Braves have been at times Red Stockings, Red Caps, Beaneaters, Doves, Bees with two separate stints as the Braves. While they've only been the Braves while they've been in Georgia, I wouldn't be against them changing the name. Particularly if it'd help them create a mascot that wasn't seemingly based on Mr. Met (Homer) or the Phillie Phanatic (Blooper). Sheesh.- Baseball 2017

Lustmord used to have an interview section on his site with this in it (you can still see it through a WebCite citation or the Internet Archive)- Favorite Video Game Trailers
Hooked me too. Then I was disappointed by the lack of a green giant walking through woods in the game. I really enjoyed the Gamescon trailer for the upcoming WiLD game (although I don't know if the finished game will be any good, the trailer definitely piqued my interest.- What are you playing right now?

- Gamers...why do you play games?
To tell the truth I've never not played games. When I was little my mom taught me how to play Rummy; my dad taught me chess and checkers. My brothers and I also played a brutal form of SlapJack that left our hands stinging for the remainder of the day. War was another card game we like. We played some other board games (I liked Sorry! a lot, Monopoly less so; later we played things like Awful Green Things from Outer Space and WIzard's Quest). One of my older brothers got into Dungeons and Dragons and we started doing pen and paper RPGs first between us and then with friends adding role playing games to board games and video games. I don't think I was 10 yet when I played Space Invaders and a home version of Pong. Through the years I played Arcade games, PC games and console games. I think I've been around for almost all of the console generations (I did miss a period of PC gaming in the 90s; only getting back on board with Baldur's Gate and then having to backtrack to play the Fallouts) I still play board games when I can get together enough people willing to give a game a try (Betrayal at the House on the Hill always being a good go to game if nothing else appeals). I enjoy reading pen and paper RPG manuals for fun (don't really know anyone who wants to commit to campaigning). And I enjoy playing video games. Its one of several things I enjoy for recreation.- Posting A Funny - The Thread

'And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

Hm, it's not hard to see what she was getting at, she should have said 'respected the same as' though to be totally clear on her intent. Also yeah, I double posted, TrueNeutral, what are you gonna do about it ? He could edit your second post into your first post and then delete the second, now blank, post. For example.- Refunded my Deadfire pledge, here's why...
I think most of the time I don't really notice the kind of mechanics related bugs that the OP is listing (possibly because I never play in such a hardcore way that the I need to numbers to work specifically for me to win). Most of the time when I hit game stopping bugs its because a quest didn't trigger properly (Fallouts/Elder Scrolls) or a quest item disappeared entirely from my inventory (Arcanum).- General Celebrity deaths
RIP Bradford Dillman - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bradford-dillman-dead-actor-compulsion-way-we-were-was-87-1075818 He was in a lot of movies (like Compulsion, with Dean Stockwell, or The Iceman Cometh) and Broadway (O'Neil's Long Journey into Night) but also was a perennial guest star in TV shows through the 60s and 70s (including a meglomaniac in a Man from UNCLE two-parter and as a victim in a memorable Columbo). And RIP Peter Wyngarde, star of TV's Jason King (and appeared on a number of ITV shows as a guest star) and the movie Burn, Witch! Burn!- The Movie Thread Returns

Oklahoma! - the Todd-AO, 30 fps blu-ray edition. 30 fps really looks sharp and crisp (perhaps preternaturally so since the eye tends to note motion blue but 30 fps doesn't give it). Rod Steiger's Jud is possibly a little too dis-likable for the film to work (why'd Laurey and Aunt Eller keep him on?) particularly given that his solo song is one of two cut from the film and Gloria Grahame seems miscast as Ado Annie. But its a sharp looking film - even if we loose some of the roadshow spectacle without seeing it on a curved screen in an oval theater as intended. Also possibly the youngest I've seen Eddie Albert, even if he's not really right for the part he's playing. The Illustrated Man - There's probably a problem with what is at its heart and anthology movie when the framing sequence is more interesting that the stories they frame. Thankfully Rod Steiger and Claire Bloom can sell the anthology stories even if they don't work in their entirely. The movie is let down by a non-end and I can't help but think the material - as a whole - would be better suited to a modern television series than a single movie.- Crash Thread

I don't disagree that the mobile game and the sports game are strange to me. But as far as I can find they meet the criteria the WGA sets out. Not knowing what else was turned in for consideration it's a bit hard to argue about.- What's on the idiot box?
"What's up with the vents? I mean we're coming from an isolation chamber inside a secret headquarters built by an organization so covert we don't even know who they are. Yet somehow we have vents large enough to crawl into with accessible registers everywhere. Was this building designed by TV writers or what?" - Wendy Watson- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - NOW IN 5$ LOOT BOXES
The Writer's Guild's rules for video game nominees are here: http://awards.wga.org/wga-awards/rules-videogame The other question that raises to mind is whether or not all the eligible games even bothered to submit? But based on my outsider's view and MobyGames, I don't think any of the mentioned games have a clear writer credit (one Co-Writer on Night in the Woods but who did they co-write with?, Additional Writing on Hellblade and Edith Finch, subwriter on Nier)- Why is Siege Of Dragonspear so good? Answer here!
I can kinda get that - if that's the reason. Having never played a BG mod, its not something that I'd have ever noticed playing them.- Why is Siege Of Dragonspear so good? Answer here!
I actually liked Siege of Dragonspear. It wasn't the best or worst thing done with the IE engine. I don't really get the hate (but then I don't really get the hate for Beamdog's updates, either), but I can understand being un-moved by it to rave positively.- SJW Integration in Deadfire
