Fuck it’s video game talk night and I’ve been sitting around playing Forza Horizon 4 instead. Uhhhhhh, let’s go with this

It seems like Montez has been the JV Broncos QB for like seven years.

King Hippo
WCS

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is my favorite Zelda game, and I’ll politely discuss why with anyone who says otherwise.

Gratliff

It aged so much better than 1, and it remains hard as holy fuck for anyone who hasn’t tried it recently.

Spur

eat a dick. you’re trolling. You have no idea where to go

WCS

Where to go? It’s easy. I’m going to kitchen to get another bourbon and a beer.

King Hippo

Dirt 500s still batting? JEEBUS.

King Hippo

hey, the JV Donks’ QB is terrible too! It’d be just like Sundays if’n I was colour blind

why can’t i get Final Fantasy Tactics on PC. I blame Shotgun Moses he’s a fucking cry-baby.

WCS

I sucked so damn bad at that game in high school, and then a college roommate showed me how to play it. It went from Cumberland College against Georgia Tech to the ’85 Bears against the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

WCS

Did they just say the Dirt 500s have hit a home run in 13 straight postseason games? Holy poop on a stick.

Mr. Ayo

They’re a juggernaut

King Hippo

NAWT FAYUH!!

WCS

If nothing else, THAH FACKIN’ SAWX CAHN FACKIN’ LOUSE TONIGHT

Spur

fuck you, you hate basketball

King Hippo

I hate The Association – which is NAWT basketball. It is basketball-themed show business entertainment.

blaxabbath

BANNER THIS MAN!

yeah right

Zelda ruled.

But you got to give some love to Mike Tyson’s Punchout.

yeah right

Zero dispute from Mario 3 by the way.

Unsurprised

Unless you’re Robin Givens.

yeah right

Snap

Spanky Datass

Vic Tokai’s CONFLICT was a hella good strategifier game.

Col. Duke LaCross

Gotta give some love to Tecmo Super Bowl. Also, not considered a classic, but Baseball Stars ruled. RBI gets all the love, but Baseball Stars was the first baseball video game where fielding wasn’t completely impossible.

yeah right

I took the Vikings to the Super Bowl and Keith Millard had 87 sacks.

I shit you negative.

blaxabbath

What was it? Baseball 2000? Where you played on different planets?

Maybe that was snes?

Mr. Ayo

Dammit Joe West. Stop helping the dirt P*ts

King Hippo

he knows where the paychecks come from

King Hippo

Colorado throws an endless cavalcade of screen passes. I don’t recall Troi Boiz running an offensive play other that the opening pickerception.

The USC song girls dont know

Unsurprised

That’s an understatement.

King Hippo

why would they need to?

yeah right

Why would we want them to.

King Hippo

is our Pig Sooey fan lurking and in need of emotional support??

/maybe less so now, that was YUUUUUGGGGGE

The recent A-Team movie was not bad.

Unsurprised

I’m doing a manaul HDD backup and I feel so stupid for feeling the need to. I should just get the 1TB iCloud plan or Amazon plan (or both). Wait. I do have a 200GB Amazon plan. Need more. Anyway, I am a data hoarder.

Gratliff

Do NAS, set scheduled tasks/cron jobs to automate data backup. comment image

King Hippo

r u saying teh cloud is equivalent to catch??

Unsurprised

I really should. Time Machine is a piece of shit software package, but there has to be a NAS too simple to fuck up.

WCS

There is no Cloud, there is only Zuul.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Alright, sports fans, T minus one week until I preside over a marriage ceremony. Which means I need to finish writing said ceremony…

yeah right

Be short and concise.

God that sounds unnatural coming from me.

Express love and best wishes and they are going to be the greatest married couple EVER!

Then dance with the bride’s younger sister.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Short and concise, like when I lost my virginity?

I have time parameters and I’ve had the outline and half the content written for months, just haven’t tied it off and measured the balance between funny and occasion appropriate.

But at least I’m a minister now.

King Hippo

just remember, G-d and/or BOLTMAN! called you to it FOAR a reason, and that reason almost surely included blood.

yeah right

One of the first things I learned when I got in the business was, let’s call it circuitry.

Start with a quick anecdote which is exclusive to the couple, yadda yadda yadda, tell some dick jokes but finish with the reflection back to the first anecdote.

Go home.
Cash check.

King Hippo

alternatively damn them all straight to hell BECAUSE THE POWER IS VESTED IN YE

U*NC lost in hilarious fashion. So there’s something. And I Lesser Footy bet my measly $84 into enough to put around $50 on each of Colorado (ML), Bungles (pick ’em), and Chefs (ML). So at least I still have some action, a man can’t ask for more than that, right?

Da U outdoes themselves from even the series before. No Hail Mary, even.

And it was delicious.

WCS

At least the rest of the top-ranked teams lost today, too.

King Hippo

Not all, and with Bama’s QB ded your gross thought of the day is that the National Champion will now be Notre Dame, tOSU, or DABO!

Unsurprised

Since this is Hellworld. National Champion Notre Dame football team is inevitable.

King Hippo

methinks you’re right. Praying this doesn’t include a SAWX/Greatriots twofer. I WILL go on a killing spree then.

Unsurprised

At least pick a reasonable target and really plan that shit out. You have to use your whole ass.

King Hippo

Nobody likes an inconsiderate, indiscriminate mass killer. That’s just tacky.

WCS

Welp.

King Hippo

I’ve slummed down to Johnny Reb/Pig Sooey

That’s the idea. Eventually a competent team would stop running it. The defense assumes they aren’t, and them *BOOM* up the middle for a TD.
