I beat the first boss, decided to try the first 'challenge'....it said it was very easy. Beating 14 or 15 guys in 3 rounds was not 'very easy'. It wasn't hard, but man...if that's very easy, the rest are gonna suck. 

I just want to hug you.

Damn.  Atlanta had been tied to that Bennett deal, which makes me worry that they're actually going after Sherman.

If the Falcons are so worried about revamping their TE spot that they released Toilolo, they may go for Ebron.  Kinda hoping they stay away from both, though, as I think they could find depth at both positions cheaper elsewhere.

The demo's luring Short Gal into thinking she can make her friends handle combat while she tackles puzzles...I'm not entirely sure.  We'll probably nab it when it drops a bit in price.

There will be a Nintendo Direct tomorrow concerning Mario Tennis and other Switch/3DS games.  Will be around 30 minutes.

It looks as though Diablo III is coming to the Switch.

That's my next guaranteed Switch purchase settled.

I picked up Mario + Rabbids Battle Kingdom today. It's actually a lot of fun! Just got to the first mid boss, and I've perfected every fight (the boss fight though was a challenge)

Oh, you poor precious soul.

That actually looks like some stupid fun without going full Genital Jousting.  Go check out the the Giant Bomb Quick Look of that game, then go check out a round of the original if you want a good chuckle.

Keep those numbers in mind when he's shut down for the year around Memorial Day.

Dodger fans waited two hours to look up from their phones and argue with your post.

That's a Yahoo thing, by the by.  Found it very weird that keepers were auto-enabled when I renewed the league.

Busch & Mad Jack have already bowed out, but *deep breath*...HEREWEGO.

I thought Dickerson had a rough second half of '17, but bad enough to straight up DFA him?  Something's up.

You'll have to delete my team, as I'm not allowed to do so.

No, no, you had it right the first time.  Let's put Jeter to shame.

Everyone has been renewed into the league.  @Maxx, send me what address you want the invite sent to.  From there, the New Era begins.

Early birds!  Here is the link to the league, note that stuff will change as Maxx moves the furniture around.

Registration for the 2018 Fantasy Baseball season is now over.

Don't give a damn.  That paperwork ain't getting him into Arstotzka.

Absolutely love the idea of Governors in this game.  Gives each city unique strategic values.

Also digging the Nubians & Scots.  Nubians are awesome in the early game for cleaning Barbarian house, then switching up and just exuding culture once you're comfortable with how much land you have.

Happy late Valentine's Day, as Feb. 15th marks the opening of Yahoo Fantasy Baseball.  I'll be handing the keys to this Pinto over to Maxx, who will assuredly drive it straight into the river as only he can.

So since the Bulls aren't relevant today I'll ask a question relevant to me. How do you guys think this trade effects IT's fantasy value?

I still feel like his health is the big issue, but I can't believe both he and Ball will actually compliment one another.

Isaiah Thomas and Channing Fyre have been traded to the Lakers for Clarkson, Cavs 1st (not the Brooklyn pick) and Nance, Jr.

I actually do like this trade for Cleveland.  Nance and Clarkson can potentially fill the gaps of their injured predecessors while the Lakers get some expiring contracts which can allow them to pay for Lebron next year  

Reviews for the expansion and good to great, though the loyalty system is getting raked over the coals for what appears to be some very fickle alliances.  Anyone have a chance to sink their teeth into it yet?

Cities Skylines is having a free weekend on Steam, so if you want the best SimCity since the original SimCity, go try it out.

This and the Raiders situation will hopefully lead to actual enforcement of the damn rule.

Unless McDaniels got it in writing, though, no rule has been broken...just like no actual agreement has been promised.

I'm on board with the crazier notion of him going to Philly.  Heard a great quote from a Jalen & Jacoby guest host that "The only thing worse than losing to Golden State in the NBA Finals is losing to them in the second round."

It will be a great big middle finger to Dan Gilbert if Lebron leaves while Gilbert is still trying to sell the team.

Perhaps hold off until the Rise & Fall expansion, as it stands to really change how mid-and-late game strategies change.  Plus there will hopefully be a bundle that has every additional Civ along with the expansion.
