  1. Speaking of players going to a division rival, I'm really hoping Danielle Hunter ends up on the Bears.
  2. Won three runs yesterday while I was waiting for FFVII Rebirth to drop. Two of the wins centered around getting three of a kind or even just pairs or high cards. Got some jokers that really boosted those hands. The other win was a struggle until ante six where I got a x3 multiplier (rather than the typical + multiplier) joker. At that point it became a cakewalk. I've been watching a few people play on YouTube though and have no clue how they're stacking eight or nine jokers, all with multiple abilities on them.
  3. I bought Balatro last night after seeing the buzz. I'm not normally into deck-builders or roguelikes but I downloaded Balatro at 9pm and stayed up until 2am playing it. Only got as far as ante 7 but just one more go and I'll win...
  4. Is anyone else finding the Junon section of the demo ridiculously hard? I don't know if I've just forgotten how the combat works or something but I tried one of the Monster Hunter-style quests and got killed. Then I tried the first boss and got absolutely wasted. It was a level of difficulty that felt decidedly unfun.
  5. So...I might have just neglected most of my life for the last week and blazed through Persona 3. They did their best to improve Tartarus while staying true to the original but it still felt like a bit of a slog. Other than that though, I enjoyed it a great deal. The story landed better with me now as an adult who's suffered more than a fair share of loss in his life than it did when I first played it in my early twenties. Koromaru and Aigis in particular got me in the feels quite a few times. Now back to reading 1Q84 before Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth drops.
  6. It looks amazing but the State of Play also looked like it was going to spoil most of the cool moments from the game so I switched it off after a few minutes. Not sure if I'll bother with the demo or not as I'm deep into Persona 3 Reload at the moment.
  7. Managed to do it by spamming BP-raising concoctions with Castti, breaking shields with Ochette and using Hikari to dish out mega damage in the first phase. Then hit it with Divine Brilliance from Temenos to finish it off quickly in the second phase. Most my characters were around level 90.
  8. Managed to polish off Octopath Traveler 2. Going to see if I can get the plat before Persona 3 Reloaded drops but I've heard the super boss is a tough one so might have to leave it.
  9. There were three games we had big leads in going into the final five minutes or so. We should have really finished 10-7 but the playcalling on both sides of the ball got super conservative towards the end of those games. Hopefully Flus can learn from that going into next season.
  10. GM Ryan Poles really believes in him, enough to hitch his wagon to him. And Bears President Kevin Warren has continually talked about the important of continuity. The defense definitely improved once Sweat came in and the team never seemed to quit on Flus even during that initial bad run this season. The ownership is also on the cheap side. They don't really like cutting people loose unless they really have to. I can understand why they've stuck with Flus but it feels like we're in this endless cycle of drafting QBs to lame duck HCs. And this was a great off-season to get a new HC with so much talent out there (Belichick, Vrabel, Harbaugh and a bunch of talented OCs). I guess the hope is we land Shane Waldron at OC from the Seahawks with the promise that he'll be given a chance if Flus fails again.
  11. Been blasting through games to clear up HD space before release of Persona 3 Reloaded and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. Persona 5 Tactica, Final Fantasy: Crisis Core and Root Film have all been checked off the list.

  16. He was always a standout in everything I saw him in and Captain Holt was such a great character.
  17. So I've put in about fifteen hours now and I'm really struggling to get into this game. I feel like if I don't save scum, everything just goes to shit really fast. Some of the battles I win first time, others seem literally impossible and I just have to try and find a way to avoid them. I'm spending most my time running around the map aimlessly, just hoping to come across a fun mission or something that draws me in and I'm not finding anything. I think I'm going to take a break and tell myself I'll come back to it...but likely I won't.
  18. Bought the game a few days ago and I have a couple of questions. Is offensive magic ever good in BG3? I've found healing and buffing useful but offensive magic really weak. You often have to be stood a lot closer than I'd have expected for the magic to reach enemies and then you can only cast a few times before you're out of spell slots. And if your mage gets trapped next to an enemy it's essentially game over for them. I made a ranger and have been using Astarion and Lae'zel. My character and Astarion do a lot of long distance fighting and Lae'zel tanks/does some serious damage in close range. No one has really leapt out as a reliable fourth character in battles. Can you make another character besides the Origins to join your team?
