Finished off The Umbrella Academy season 3 today. I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for next season.

I would be so stoked if the unnamed fantasy title was a Game of Thrones setting. I doubt it will be but a guy can dream.

CA have a couple games in development besides the 3K sequel - a multiplayer shooter named Hyenas and an unnamed game set in a fantasy setting. I feel like if we were getting 40K it would've been announced already. I think with the plethora of 40K games already out there that maybe Games Workshop thinks there wouldn't be enough demand for a 40K game but I think there would be.

Three Kingdoms is really good even though it is a bit different to other Total Wars. You have 3 generals per army who each have 6 units under them. It features the best diplomacy system of any Total War game. The dueling is a cool feature, too. The only downside is that Creative Assembly decided to cease any work on the game in order to work on a new Three Kingdoms game, which I guess is coming in the next couple of years.

Game is taking the piss. By comparison the existing Premier League goals in a season record was 34.

I'm joining the PS5 club thanks to Amazon's God Of War Ragnarok bundle arriving tomorrow. I also have Madden 23, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, WWE 2K22 and Guardians of the Galaxy on the way. Should be set for quite a while! Only game I wanted that I couldn't find on sale was Ghost of Tsushima but I'll see if that goes on sale around Christmas time.

I've seen and caught a Happiny but no Chansey yet. I've got the first two gym badges and beaten the first titan. I'm not sure where to go next. I guess that's part of the fun.

We did it baby!

I don't normally fuck with fairy or ghost type mons but Fidough and Greavard might just change my mind.

I ended up also trading Dylan Cease and a couple of prospects to Houston for Cristian Javier and a couple prospects. Javier has posted a higher ERA than Cease so that kinda sucks but he's much cheaper. I also traded a couple prospects to get left-handed reliever Aaron Ashby from the Brewers, and also a prospect and Miguel Castro (who's ERA was sky high) to the Braves getting right-handed reliever Indigo Diaz back. So Soto leaving didn't really bother the team at all. We ended up going 104-58 which made us the best team in baseball. Keibert Ruiz was the NL batting champ with an average of .316 with 22 homers. I don't know that I've ever had that kind of offensive output out of a catcher before in this game. Maybe last year with Christian Vazquez came close. Offensively Luis Garcia hit .305 with 27 homers. So did Harold Castro as my utility/pinch hitter. Oswald Peraza turned out to be a decent DH hitting .298 but only went yard 6 times. Our Soto replacement Julio Rodriguez hit .297 with 15 homers in 54 games for us. Pleased with that. Worryingly Yordan Alvarez only went .238 which was the team's worst average outside of my backup catcher. He did hit 31 homers, though, so I guess not all bad. Pitching-wise my starters were kinda not the best but not the worst. Sandy Alcantara went 16-10 at a 5.78 ERA. Kyle Wright was the pick of the bunch going 17-8 at 3.98. Framber Valdez went 8-11 at 4.88. Cristian Javier went 3-3 at 6.46 in 10 starts. Ranger Suarez went 6-4 at 5.24 in 17 games before getting injured. Nestor Cortez stepped in for Suarez and went 14-4 at 4.42. In the bullpen Hader was great with an ERA of 2.78 and 42 saves. Loaisiga was my top reliever at a 2.06 ERA. Indigo Diaz went 2.21. Everyone else was in the 3s. So yeah to say I'm stoked is an understatement. I think I have everyone on my team signed for next year, too, for another run for the top (although I think I'll be trading Yordan if his average doesn't go up). Hopefully we don't go out of the playoffs in straight sets or anything like that. EDIT: Beat Pittsburgh 3-2 in the NLDS before losing 4-1 to the Dodgers in the NLCS. Oh well. Bring on next year.

This fucking sucks. I remember as a kid I wanted all the Power Ranger action figures for my birthday but I was only allowed to pick one and of course it was always going to be the green Power Ranger Tommy. It really sucks he couldn't get the help he needed. My heart goes out to his kids.

So I traded Soto (who was averaging .306) just before the trade deadline for a 75 potential closer and a 50 current ability/75 potential ability 3B. I probably could've got more prospects from other teams but they wouldn't of been anywhere close to the same quality. There weren't really a lot of teams that expressed serious interest. To replace him I sent my top prospect SS (watch me regret this in a few years) to get RF Julio Rodriguez who is 75/80 and batting .272. I was so tempted to keep Soto because I'm first in my division and look to be making a run at the playoffs but I just couldn't lose him for nothing at the end of the season. EDIT: Well the team reacted by smashing the Mets 21-0 with Kyle Wright posting 9 shutout innings.

I don't know much about baseball stats outside of the basics and I find it very enjoyable. I don't think you really need to know who the players are to enjoy the game.

Baddoo's outfield range is 65 so he's borderline being suitable for center, probably should be a corner outfielder, really. The weakest part of my lineup is my infield and maybe DH. Pasquantino at 1B was good last year hitting .260, at 2B Garcia and Cabrera hit .253 and .272 respectively, 3B Kiner-Falefa hit .246 and Mondesi hit .239 at shortstop (he was hitting around .300 when I signed him to his current contract). At DH was mostly Peraza and he hit .272 so he didn't actually do too bad. I don't think I'd be upset if I could flip Soto and Mondesi for a new SS and maybe 3B as long as they have good potential. And yeah I'm pretty stoked with my pitchers. I've put a rule in place to not pick up anyone over 30. Chapman was the only exception to that rule and that was because I was offered him in a fairly decent trade and didn't have a strong left armer in my bullpen outside of my closer Hader. Pre-season predictions have us finishing top of our division but I don't put too much faith in them. Still, I think we could make a decent run at the playoffs. I think I'm gonna ship Mondesi and Soto out regardless of where we are at the trade deadline. I really don't want to give Soto up for nothing at the end of the year. Although I'll probably change my mind a hundred times before the deadline.

I'm by no means the greatest at this game but I'm giving it a shot. In season 3 of a Nationals rebuild. First year we went 61-101, second year we improved to 81-81. I've pretty much got my roster setup but I'm afraid I'm probably not going to be able to keep Juan Soto unless I move some other valuable players out. I'm not sure what to do. Here's my team:- C Keibert Ruiz 1B Vinnie Pasquantino 2B Luis Garcia (v. RHP)/Oswaldo Cabrera (v. LHP) 3B Isiah Kiner-Falefa SS Adalberto Mondesi LF Yordan Alvarez CF Akil Baddoo RF Juan Soto DH Oswald Peraza C Riley Adams IF Maikel Franco OF Harold Castro - SP RHP Sandy Alcantara SP RHP Kyle Wright SP LHP Framber Valdez SP RHP Dylan Cease SP LHP Ranger Suarez CL LHP Josh Hader Setup RHP Jonathan Loaisiga Setup LHP Aroldis Chapman Middle Relief RHP Keone Kela Middle Relief RHP Miguel Castro Middle Relief RHP Seranthony Dominguez Middle Relief RHP Huascar Ynoa Long Relief/Emergency Starter LHP Nestor Cortes I managed to ship both Patrick Corbin (his money comes off the books next year) and Stephen Strasbourg (he came back from injury, had 1 rehab appearance before injuring himself for 12 months and just looks poor now) out while retaining some of their wages. So I'm not really sure what to do. I have $13.7M left for extensions. Everyone is extended except for Chapman, Franco and Soto. Soto wants a deal worth $42.5M a year. I could probably argue him down some. But I'd still need to shed wages elsewhere. Next season Hader earns $17.2M, Mondesi earns $15M, Alvarez earns $18.2M and Alcantara earns $17M. Everyone else is under $10M. So I have some pieces I can move so I can keep Soto but I'm not sure it's worth it.

This is definitely true. I've only had time to play for maybe an hour so far and am already noticing a fair bit of stuttering.

Amazon tells me that my copy is out for delivery! Very excited to see my Fuecoco burn some chumps.

Has anyone else picked up Tactics Ogre Reborn? I'll probably be putting it on the shelf when the new Pokemon releases but so far I'm enjoying it. Have done 3 (I think) battles past the tutorials. The only thing that I find annoying is the sheer amount of buff cards that pop up on the battlefield, I think they should be rarer as at the moment I'm basically tripping over them by accident.

Yeah it is locked to her account. She could always change her account to a family account (I think it costs more) and add you to that plan but it isn't much cheaper than just getting another solo account. I am getting Scarlet and will be starting with the fire type starter, as is my tradition. Let's go little fire croc Pokemon!

I was lucky and pre-ordered from Amazon AU for just $48 when they seemingly fucked up and dropped the price on it. Can't wait til next week!

Paddy Considine deserves awards for his performance this season. Just really great stuff. Viserys is such a tragic character and he's played that really well.
