  1. As a both a history major and one of them homosexuals, I loved the Imitation Game. I want it to win.
  2. One of my least favourite is when a show constantly uses the "light bulb" moment that suddenly allows them to solve the case/medical condition/whatever. House got particularly bad for it.
  3. If anything, I'll probably draft at least one Canadian just because he's Canadian.
  4. I had this problem when I downloaded Stardust. I think it's because the CAW wasn't created as an alternate attire but was created from scratch.
  5. This guy gave away that trophy to a German girl after the match apparently.
  6. The Padres also kept some of their best prospects and their young pitching. Pretty impressive. They seem to be a righty heavy team and that outfield isn't going to be the best defensive one you've ever seen but talk about making a splash.
  7. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Louie, New Girl, Mindy Project.
  8. Just finished Short Term 12, a 2013 indie flick. Absolutely loved it. Hit home for me, mostly because of the line of work the film is about and the way she deals with things. Great movie. I highly recomend it.
  9. Oh man, those sweaters look sweet.
  10. I watched the first season of that and loved it. I did not know there had been a second season! Hooray!
  11. 1. Mad Men 2. Games of Thrones 3. Parks and Recreation 4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine 5. Louie 6. Last Week Tonight 7. Survivor 8. Saturday Night Live 9. Community 10. Orange is the New Black 11. The Walking Dead 12. Girls 13. Suits 14. Big Brother 15. The Amazing Race
  12. Could you not just set your move set so that the same moves are set as the replacements. Seems a little tedious but it should work.
  13. What are people's PSN names? It'd be fun to have each other's guys show up in our MyCareers. Mine is g_leeder
  14. Okay. Been playing a RTTS as shortstop who got drafted by the Twins. Wasn't all that excited, but what the hell. Midway through July, I get called up because all of their infielders suck. I was just playing games and got off to a great start. I was not paying attention to the divison at all, but despite a terrible record (like 12 games under .500), we're 2.0 games back and in 4th place. What!? I start to go into a little bit of a slump and come back to earth. Hitting around .270 but the rest of the team is picking it up, especially Mauer. Now it's the end of September and I'm about to head into one of the greatest series of all time. The Tigers are 74-84 and in first place in the Central. The Twins are 72-86 and in second place. We have a four game set. Shit's about to get real. Game 1: I hit a home run in the top of the 1st and that's all we'd need. Mike "Freakin'" Pelfrey just threw a 3-hit shutout. Twins are a game back. Game 2: First off, I have to face Marcus Stroman after the Jays traded him and Sanchez for Anibal Sanchez earlier in the year. He loads the bases in the 3rd with no outs. Willingham grounds into a double play but we get a run. Hicks drives in another one in the 4th to make it 2-0 Twins. Trevor May, our starter, almost gives up some runs in the 6th as he walks V-Mart and then Avila misses a HR by inches, getting a hard-hit single for his efforts. May has thrown over 100 pitches to this point but hasn't give up a run. He walks the lead off man in the 7th, strikes out the next guy, then gives up another walk. May's out, Casey Fien is in. Our backup catcher, Chris Herrmann can also play left field and he's out there. He guns home the runner at home to end the 7th. Heading into the 9th, Phil Coke has pitched 3 innings and hasn't given up a hit. He sits us down 1-2-3. Last chance time for the Tigers. Glen Perkins is in. SS Alex Gonzalez lays down a bunt, but he's out. Castellanos grounds out to third. Brian Dozier makes a spectacular diving backwards catch to end the game. The Tigers and the Twins are tied for 1st in the Central with two games left to play. Just checked and the White Sox are there too. If we split the last two with the Tigers and the White Sox take both their games against KC, then they'll take it. Game 3: I sit out game 3, so I don't get to see it, but we beat Verlander. Time to head to the last game of the season. Game 4: We're taking on Scherzer, who hasn't been the best this season. We've got Phil Hughes on the mound. Last time I faced him I went 0-3. Home run to RF after Nunez popped out. 1-0, Twins. Hughes gives up a HR to Jose Iglaseas in the 4th. 1-1. Then a throwing error puts a man on second and a hard hit ball plates that runner. 2-1 Tigers. Dirks misses a diving catch putting Max Kepler on third. Nunez then bats him in when he grounds out to second. Plouffe hits a HR to put us up 3-2 in the 6th. I hit another HR in the 8th and we're up 4-2. Perkins saves the game and we're going to the post season! With a 76-86 record!
  15. Ended up having a pretty good season but the Red Sox were bad. Thought about staying and trying to give them a discount to let them rebuild. Changed my mind and signed with my biggest rival while I was a Dback, the Dodgers. Playing with Felix Hernandez, Chris Davis, and Buster Posey. This should be fun.
  16. So I've been playing a shit ton of RTTS. I eventually settle in as the Diamondbacks starting 3B. I'm a power hitter and end up averaging about mid 30's in HRs each year. We've been pretty bad for the last few years but we finally put together a nice run after they trade for Jason Kipnis. We have a crazy good July but fall badly in September. We're never more than 5 games out of the division but we're definitely out of the wild card. We end up getting swept in our second last series and even though we swept the Cards, the Dodgers take the division. I was a little gutted, but at least we have next year. NOPE! I get traded to the Red Sox two weeks into the next season. They have an awful team, with Archie Bradley as their ace but nobody to back him up. They've got a terrible pen and they are waiting on Pedroia's absurd contract to run out this year. Not sure why they traded for me but I'm on my way out as soon as this season is over.
  17. Never really saw much of her stand-up or anything, but she's been all over pop culture for as long as I can remember. My favourite thing she was in was the episode of Louie she did. Great stuff.
  18. My brother wants in too. His PSN name is drew42. He wants the White Sox.
  19. I'll post my gamer tag when I get home but I'd love the A's.
  20. What was the deal with an online franchise? Do we think we could get one going?
  21. Started a RTTS as a 3B. Got drafted by the D-Backs after an okay draft showcase. Spent one year in the minors, splitting my time between both levels. Got added to the 40 Man before the 2015 season and made the team as a backup infielder. Mostly play backup 1B when Goldschmidt sits. Was raking to start the season, batting over .400 over the first month and a half but have since cooled off a bit. Right now I'm batting .280ish with 9 HRs midway through June. I've got a pretty good shot at getting a starting job if someone goes down with an injury.
