So I've finished reading the last Game of Thrones book. Next one out in March right? -- nm - LMS Jan 6, 09:09 3
- I'm really enjoying the Untold History of Westeros book. The art is amazing -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:12
- of what year? -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 09:10 1
  - Anywhere from 2015 - 2017 (I expect the latter) -- nm - decline Jan 6, 09:17
Next year's HoF might help out even further in the backlog...only Griffey is a newcomer with a legitimate case. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 09:06 3
- Trevor Hoffman, with his 601 saves is also eligible. -- nm - volnelk Jan 6, 09:10 2
  - IF we're doing closers, Billy Wagner is too. I'd take Wagner over Hoffman - Will Hunting Jan 6, 09:12 1
    - Course, even if you take all the legitimate newcomers (Griff and those 2), we'll still likely be ahead of the game here - Will Hunting Jan 6, 09:13
Two 1st CE chests = 4 radiant shards. Bah. One of these times I'll get an exotic. - Shaun Jan 6, 09:05 22

        you have to be there when the Fallen and Hive are battling, and he shows up. - groiny Jan 6, 09:18 3
        
        when do the fallen and hive battle up there? -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 09:19 2
        
        if you are on later, we can try for it, after the weekly and daily and such. - groiny Jan 6, 09:24
        
        you are talking about on Earth? - groiny Jan 6, 09:20
        
        Randomly :) -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:14 3
        
        have you seen this? -- (link) - Remlik Jan 6, 09:19 2
        
        I have that app or a similar one on my phone, in case I'm actually farming for a public events. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:20 1
        
        Ok, I have a different app. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:21
  - I got my first CE armour last night. Titan boots. I'm sitting on like 30 shards, but no energy, and I have 2 CE weapons to upgrade. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:10 9
    - I just fully upgraded MIDA last night. I want to make sweet love to it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 09:11 8
      - Good man. That gun lets me run the lamp blast trick on my titan. She's too slow normally to get to the rock in time. I want another one. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:12 7
        
        how does the gun help that? -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 09:13 6
        
        It boosts movement speed making you run faster. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:14 5
        
        oh, the Agility +2? -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 09:17 4
        
        No, the MIDA Multi-tool perk. "This weapon boosts movement speed..." -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:20 3
        
        huh, I think I only read the "hair trigger" part of that perk. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 09:23 2
        
        Learn to read! -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:23 1
        
        I AIN'T GOT TIME TO READ! -- nm - Jesse Ventura Jan 6, 09:24

  - I hope you enjoy your square foot on a private island. - Rooscapades Jan 6, 08:49
  - didn't get a chance to play CAH over the break (PIL too sick to come up), but looking forward to it! - Beaker Jan 6, 08:48
The local reddit started a "state of the subreddit" thread. Apparently our biggest problem is too many awesome sunset pics - con_carne Jan 6, 08:45
Hmm. Wife is mad at me because I slept through my alarm and now she's going to be late on her last day. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:38 5
- Uhm, she should be mad at *her* alarm. -- nm - Ultron Jan 6, 08:40 4
  - Isn't that what he said? -- nm - Covington Jan 6, 09:06 3
    - Poor bery. -- nm - Ultron Jan 6, 09:07 2
      - Bery just couldn't hit the buzzer. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 09:12 1
        
        Best start working on your cardio, bery! -- nm - Ultron Jan 6, 09:15

What's a thrashing in NFL points terms...a 15 point defeat to a heavily favoured team...would you consider that to be an ok performance by the - Loyola Jan 6, 08:27 2
- Double digit spreads are pretty rare, so depending on how heavily favored they were, it's close. - volnelk Jan 6, 08:34 1
  - Thanks. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 08:36
Reader's Digest version of the 80s Hair Bands category from Jeopardy last night - Polar Baron Jan 6, 08:25 32

    - ~what you trynta say/ahgunnaditafghrrrhrarugga no!/no no no~ -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 09:07
    - I seriously know "No we ain't going to take it" as pretty much the only lyric of anything they've done. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:52 7
      - I love the 'I Wanna Rock!' part of Road Trip. Stifler thrusting hard on the short bus. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 09:00
      - spoiler - con_carne Jan 6, 08:56 5
        
        Yeah, I didn't get cable until well after Twisted Sister was a thing. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:57 4
        
        we had music videos here on regulat TV stations long before I got MTV. - groiny Jan 6, 09:03 3
        
        That kind of stuff sort of didn't exist for me until Gn'R came out. After that I was playing catch up -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 09:11 2
        
        oh man, I used to get home from school and watch videos on TV for hours. - groiny Jan 6, 09:12 1
        
        yep -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:22
    - high school between myself and my friends spoils . . . - call me Ishmael Jan 6, 08:51 1
      - Sister Twister - Ultron Jan 6, 08:52
  - twisted sister -- nm - decline Jan 6, 08:41 4
    - I kind of think Will and amanda need to go stand in the corner. -- nm - Ultron Jan 6, 08:41 2
      - this was so awesome -- (link) - decline Jan 6, 08:44 [youtube]
      - Seriously -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:43
    - this was my guess -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:41
  - is it quiot riot? -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Jan 6, 08:40
- that $ 1000 is pretty obscure to anyone outside the 80's -- nm - St. Pippy Jan 6, 08:33 11
  - I thought it was super easy. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:53
  - The Fighter! -- nm - CQ Jan 6, 08:41
  - As a male who largely grew up in the 80s, I knew it immediately. >:) -- nm - Polar Baron Jan 6, 08:38
  - They're all super easy, I thought. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 6, 08:37 7
    - as a child of the 80's I really think so as well but would anyone that grew up in the 90's or beyond really know that one? maybe the others but that? - St. Pippy Jan 6, 08:43 3
      - There's an age thing going on here - con_carne Jan 6, 08:59
      - Based on her LinkedIn info, the lady who nearly ran the category was probably born around 1980. - Polar Baron Jan 6, 08:57
      - Then again, the Twisted Sister is video based as well. - Ultron Jan 6, 08:48
    - Agreed, but it is by far the most difficult of the list since it is not really band related, only video. - Ultron Jan 6, 08:43 2
      - *snort to the IM* - St. Pippy Jan 6, 08:43 1

According to ML's link from B2, Mike Beradino and Anonymous are the only two who didn't vote for The Big Unit and Pedro. - Inigo Jan 6, 08:25 12
- Why did Olney not vote for anyone? That feels unlike him. -- nm - Tim Jan 6, 08:34 9
  - Some guys did not vote becuase in the perverse logic of this, the fewer ballots sent in actually helps people who are close. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:38 5
    - IIRC he wrote about this, but couldn't find the article -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:39 4
      - here it is. Not voting at all anymore -- (link) - Beaker Jan 6, 08:41 [Backboard] 3
        
        In theory..the writers could just let one or two guys vote each year, and get the right ten guys in. - Inigo Jan 6, 08:48 2
        
        you'd have a better chance of herding cats than getting enough writers to be on board for something like that -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:53 1
        
        So, you're saying we should add HoF voting to the next Blood Feud draft? ;) -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 08:59
  - I'm sure he will. The google doc is constantly updating, but incomplete list. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 08:38 2
    - Oh,nevermind. I see he abstained. That is odd. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 08:39 1
      - see Will's post above -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:40
- The only justification for not voting for Unit imo is if you have 10 guys you want to vote moreso to help them - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:33 1

Watched The Interview last night. I'm done cinematically with Seth Rogen. I have found I don't mind Franco being Franco - he pulls it off - St. Pippy Jan 6, 08:19 3
- Rogen with the right director is decent (Aptow)... -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 09:14

  - How's he doing? -- nm - spamlet, Astro king Jan 6, 08:17 5
    - very good. I think he is too use to going under the knife. He was in/out of the OR in an hour - back home and wanting to behave normal at 1pm. - St. Pippy Jan 6, 08:21 4
      - good to hear. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 08:44
      - oh, I missed this. glad he's doing alright -- nm - CQ Jan 6, 08:31 2
        
        he bounces back from injury/surgeries like he's not all human. I'm glad. He's not a malinger or a complainer - St. Pippy Jan 6, 08:34 1
        
        dude has a high pain threshold. -- nm - CQ Jan 6, 08:43
Amazing timelapse video of braces straightening out a real snaggletooth grin. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Jan 6, 07:52 2

- We have one here and people tell me it is *awesome*. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 6, 07:50 3
  - It's just $15 per 45 minutes here (and it's on a bus line). I should go this weekend, right? -- (link) - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Jan 6, 07:54 2

TV PSA: Agent Carter back to back episodes tonight (reviews I've been reading are saying good to great, so can't wait) -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:24 2
