The infamous (notorious?) Too Human is Xbox’s last backwards compatible game. And it’s available for free now. -- (link) - Mop Jun 11, 19:17 9
- And it is spectacularly terrible. Broke my heart. -- nm - David Jun 11, 19:46 3
  - Reading up on it made me realize that I never got a chance to play NOLF and NOLF2 - and I heard they were great. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 19:57
  - So much promise but it was damn near unplayable. -- nm - Tim Jun 11, 19:46 1
    - Yup, it's probably the worst follow-up to a great game ever. -- nm - David Jun 11, 19:48
- There should be a Too Hunan restaurant tie-in -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 19:27 2
  - *No human meat available -- nm - Mop Jun 11, 19:28 1
    - Well, it's all part of the franchise. The other locations are called Almost Hunan and Hunan Target. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 19:44
- On the up side, Xbox “Scarlet” will be backwards compatible with all (???) past Xbox games *and* peripherals (WUT?) -- (link) - Mop Jun 11, 19:20 1

WWE: Lacey Evans sucks. She sandbagged Bayley's finisher during a post Raw segment to send the crowd home happy (in Bayley's hometown.) -- (link) - Tim Jun 11, 17:53 7
- She's not long for this business. She has the wrong attitude for it. -- nm - David Jun 11, 19:49
- she was brought up wwaaayyyy to early -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 18:04 5
  - Too much is being asked for her. You’d think there were only four women in the WWE as they main event both shows. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 18:34 4
    - It's like how the women's tag team division now consists of one team. -- nm - Tim Jun 11, 18:41 1
      - And they have the balls to just say that on the air. Like yeah we know. - Qale Jun 11, 18:43
    - 100% agreed. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 18:40 1
      - I read that things were getiing better with Sasha and WWE - eag Jun 11, 18:55

So apparently WB’s solution to their DC cinematic universe problem is different timelines and let James Gunn fix it? -- (link) - Mop Jun 11, 16:49 7
- No, no, no. Hand it to some of the tv guys. They know how to do it better than the movie guys. -- nm - . Jun 11, 17:38
- I said before that their solution is cooked right into their own setup. Alternate Earths. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 11, 17:21
- As an overall strategy, handing it to someone with vision would probably be good for them. Handing it to Gunn ... - Beryllium Jun 11, 16:55 4
  - Gunn.......... Snyder -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 17:02 3
    - Snyder's vision is myopic. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 17:10 2
      - he was way to influenced by Frank Miller's approach to it the DCU. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 18:05
      - everything was so much easier pre-1970 when DC had no continuity in it's comics -- nm - peglegpete Jun 11, 17:22

  - Wonder if there's any limit on that liability policy? -- nm - Meg Jun 11, 16:54 1

I am watching a full array of wheeled non-car vehicles go by in a downtown street. Motorcylces of various sizes. Bicycles. Pedicabs. One wheel skat - . Jun 11, 15:37 7
- What does a one wheel skateboard look like? They normally have four ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 15:42 6
  - Pretty much like you would imagine. A single large wheel in the middle of the board -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:45 5
    - I have a feeling I would be annoyed to look at that. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 16:06 4

        Like this, but the one I saw looked more homemade -- (link) - . Jun 11, 16:34 2
        
        Yep. Although to be honest, I do kind of want to try it. Same with all those electric-assist gadgets. - Beryllium Jun 11, 16:54 1
        
        I saw one a while ago that had the wheel at 90degree angle that looked kind of like a wheel with wings. I think it was electric as well. -- (link) - . Jun 11, 17:36
Oh, Tiny Tina, how I've missed you... -- nm - David Jun 11, 15:28 1

- I'm more striking than lovely. -- nm - mafic Jun 11, 18:17
- '/~oz never did give nothing to the tin man, that he didn't, didn't already have..'/~ (cute!) -- nm - b. Jun 11, 17:29 1
  - drunk Tin Man would make a pass at that thing. -- nm - Max Jun 11, 18:39
- minus what he is holding (fishing pole?) it would be nightmare inducing. With it? Its kind of cute. -- nm - Jovian Jun 11, 15:43
- Terrifying. Because of the high grass, you cant see how many skulls he is standing on -- nm - amoxy Jun 11, 15:42

During Bears practice, with 25 alumni & their guests watching, all 3 kickers were called onto the main field to try a 42-yard FG. -- (link) - budice Jun 11, 14:53
Also in regards to the KD/fans situation. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 11, 14:42 2
- Absolutely. It was an emotion release as well. I want to know which fanbase wouldn't have had some cheer in the first half-minute. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 14:53 1
  - it wasn't as bad as that philadelphia incident, but fans shouldn't have to be told by their team's players to stop cheering as happened. -- nm - b. Jun 11, 17:30
were these new quinnipiac #s posted? -- (link) - mud Jun 11, 14:38 4
- Apparently internal polling numbers are bad and Trump is instructing his lackies to lie about what they’re seeing. -- (link) - Mop Jun 11, 19:34
- There seems to be a recurring theme there - decline Jun 11, 15:11
- Unhatched chickens decidedly not counted but I don't see where Trump has improved his stance and he's got a pretty low ceiling of support. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 14:53 1
  - It is pretty amazing how consistent that 41-42% number is. But like most elections turnout is what matters. His 41-42% are more likely to turn out - pmb Jun 11, 15:05
This is... an interesting chart about the media and politics with results I would not expect. -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 11, 14:36 1

      - 227 >>>>>> 13 -- nm - Volnelk Jun 11, 15:28
- I've seen a few tweets about how classless it is to run up the score. - Shaun Jun 11, 14:40 6
  - I get why running up the scores are okay'ish, but the celebrations after some of these goals are insane - Will Hunting Jun 11, 15:45
  - I mean, to a point. - Reagen Jun 11, 14:46 2
    - though this also means everyone who plays them has to run the score up as much as possible as well. -- nm - mafic Jun 11, 18:19
    - Pretty much. - Marlowe Jun 11, 14:49
  - It could certainly help them out later in a tie scenario. But it also opens the door for mercilessness from opponents. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:43 1
    - (And I'm assuming that all of the seeding has already taken place; if not, it could help there too) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:44
- Alex Morgan 2020 -- nm - budice Jun 11, 13:52

        "Congratulations, America - you broke soccer!" -- nm* - Beryllium Jun 11, 13:55 1
        
        Frankly, there's as little reason to be impressed by that as there is for us to be happy because we beat Honduras 7-0. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 11, 14:58
        
        There will be an investigation -- nm - Krusty Jun 11, 13:54

Wow. - Amoxy Jun 11, 13:13 2

    - Enough to vote Dem next year? - Marlowe Jun 11, 13:09 12
      - Depends on who the candidate is and what happens over the next 17 months - Strongbad Jun 11, 13:10 11
        
        Thanks. - Marlowe Jun 11, 13:14 1
        
        Yes, she was. I really liked Abrams' opponent in the primaries. - Strongbad Jun 11, 13:16
        
        Dems that appeal to me - Strongbad Jun 11, 13:13 8
        
        You would seriously consider voting Trump again? -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 11, 13:16 7
        
        Again? I didn't vote for him the first time. - Strongbad Jun 11, 13:19 6
        
        IIRC, you did not vote D though? -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 15:54 1
        
        Nope, left that one blank. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 16:14
        
        In all seriousness, what could happen in the next 17 months that would make you vote Trump? - pmb Jun 11, 13:46 3
        
        I'd argue it's not a binary choice. I feel no compulsion to vote for someone I fundamentally disagree with just to defeat someone else I fundamentally disagree with. -- nm - Ender Jun 11, 15:02 1
        
        This. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 15:46
