  1. It is, though. It may not seem so because they take so long to hand the damn thing but it is what it is. -- Now, unrelated to the quoted post above, personally I think Jokic had an excellent regular season. I haven't retroactively checked what happened during the season with more detail to say if he deserves it more as a whole than the other main candidates. Also, statistically, which like it or not matters a great deal in these awards, he was the 6th scorer (3 ppg behind) and passer in the league, unrivalled efficiency, 2nd best rebounder and with a very, very noticeable improvement n D. He was so important to the Nuggets in both ends this season, even more so, considering they were without Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. Nuggets with or without him were 2 different teams. Obviously this can be said about most franchise players in the NBA, but in his case was more noticeable and I'd say a lot more than last season, and he already got the MVP then. I understand people may be disappointed but I'm being fully honest, I thought there was absolutely no way, the mvp would end up in someone else's hands. I actually thought Giannis had a better shot at it then Embiid, based on the trophy voting history alone but I didn't think any of the 2 had a shot at it this season. All three had excellent seasons but I just "knew" who was getting this year MVPs.
  2. That's tough then. I was there last month for 10 days and it was much, much cheaper. Granted I don't think anything of note was happening at the time but still. It's not surprising that all the cheapest hotels would be gone by now which would mean only the expensive options would be available but I guess even cheaper hotels have ridiculous prices that weekend.
  3. How many more nights were these 400 euros for?
  4. It feels you interpreted what I said as negative criticism. It really wasn't. I love Fatboy Slim and that album in particular. I just thought they weren't as innovative music wise when compared to the others I mentioned. I think at the very least prodigy are very versatile and were able to jump out of the rave scene into the mainstream (not as much as Fatboy slim whose pop hooks were undoubtedly catchier, I won't deny) and most importantly into the punk scene too. They're just different even though for the most part they use similar beats with different samples and arrangements. I also like the obvious influence of Crystal Method's slower songs on a lot of active trip hop bands, although the same can be said about the Chemical Brothers or Fatboy Slim, I suppose. I can see Fatboy slim's influence on the dance punk genre, definitely. I wouldn't say as much about electroclash as they kind of existed simultaneously but I suppose these styles as every other are a mix of different influences and you can see this and that from previous generations on something new or even contemporary. Anyway, this is definitely my go to style of electronic music. Even if I say I don't like something as much as something else I probably still like it a lot. Btw, Daft Punk for me are different, that's why I didn't talk about them.
  5. While I really like that album and I do believe it was influential to many, many bands who followed, I wouldn't say it was as groundbreaking as others although I'll definitely say it helped loads bringing Big Beat into the mainstream. Mostly because the year before you had Prodigy releasing Fat of the Land, Chemical brother's Dig Your Own Hole and the Crystal Method releasing Vegas, a masterpiece in the genre. Late 90s/early 00s were great for Big Beat/Breakbeat and You've come a long way baby is obviously a big part of that but I don't think it was as innovative as the others I mentioned.
  6. Brentford 1-2 Southampton (Sat 3pm) Crystal Palace 2-1 Watford (Sat 3pm) Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham (Sat 7.45pm, Sky) Leicester 1-1 Everton (Sun 2pm) Man City 4-1 Newcastle (Sun 4.30pm, Sky)
  7. I refuse to accept real Madrid as a Babyface. Sometimes you have to accept a heel vs heel main event.
  8. It's not an ideal matchup for the first round either. Having to play the lightning who ended worse than expected due to underperforming and kucherov's absence half of the season. I do believe the leafs are really good this year but it's unfortunate they have to play the lightning in round 1. This is definitely not what I would expect at round 1 (maybe I would when the lightning were very good and the leafs weren't but not now).
  9. I've been waiting for one since MLB 2k11/12/13 can't remember which but it's been a long time. NHL would be nice too but people have been releasing yearly updates on older versions every year so I'm ok with that. I really hope someone's able to make any half decent MLB game though because I really can't enjoy 2013 rosters anymore.
  10. I know you use the term 5 major European leagues because it's common usage but I really dislike that "concept". The french league barely won anything. The dutch and portuguese leagues have a lot more European titles and plenty of other leagues have similar records if not better than the french. Yes, PSG have a ridiculous budget but I really don't see how they could ever be in the same conversation as Spain, England, Italy and Germany.
  11. It took a while considering he scored his 58th a while ago but Matthews is the third 60 goal scorer this century (after Ovi in 2007 and Stamkos in 2012)!
  12. I play in a different prediction league where it's 1p for guessing the winner, 3 for guessing the margin (in the sense that saying 2-1 when the score is 1-0 is a more accurate prediction than saying 5-0) and 5 for the exact result. Also you bet on every match. However, I know you guys have been playing using this system for many years now, and I just joined and have no problem with the current system. I'd keep it since everyone seems happy with it.
  13. I suppose in 2021 they used the fake documents mentioned in the article I read. We'll see if FIFA and CONMEBOL do something with the new information or if they just let it slide. The one thing I'm sure is, even if they allow Ecuador to play in the World Cup, they won't allow Castillo.
  14. As I said, I don't know any further details but that would be the logical thing to do. No. This is Byron Castillo who played 8 times during the qualifiers. Apparently the documents they used were fake. Paraguay's FA or whatever found Castillo's real birth documents. I don't know why Paraguay did all the work since their missing the world cup regardless, but still.
  15. Just read Ecuador have been using a Colombian player for a while and may end up being DQ'd. I don't know any details other than this.
  16. That was a really fast season!
  17. Week 32 Matches; Aston Villa 1-0 Norwich (Sat 3pm) Watford 0-0 Burnley (Sat 3pm) Wolves 1-0 Brighton (Sat 3pm) Everton 0-1 Chelsea (Sun 2pm, Sky) West Ham 1-2 Arsenal (Sun 4.30pm, Sky)
  18. @Baddaredit: nevermind. I shouldn't. Edit 2: no wait. I did have Burnley beating Wolves. I should get a point there.
  19. I know Lint's first one too. I'll take the W there.
  20. Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd (Sat 12.30pm, BT)Norwich 0-0 Newcastle (Sat 3pm)Brighton 1-1 Southampton (Sun 2pm)Burnley 2-0 Wolves (Sun 2pm)Liverpool 2-1 Everton (Sun 4.30pm, Sky)

    Personally, I don't care about alternate attires either and plenty of caws come with more than one attire anyway but i would be bored to death from seeing the same people over and over again. I only got back to WWE2K, the PC version, because I found mods that allow me to have about 500 slots and among other things, also allow me to replace the extra 5 Rey Mysterio slots I don't need with people I don't have yet. Plenty of people have complained about the 100 CAW limit though. Not just me.

    The CAW limit has been 100 forever. Unless you get mods it's impossible to get more.
  23. I just thought it could be a fun game trying to guess which band we're talking about based on the timeline graph (minus their names), but I guess it would work better n music boards.
