The last poll is the first one I missed. Would have voted Genesect too. Didn't think that one would be that much of a curbstomp.

Definitely Ceruledge for this one.

I read somewhere that she's actually a Red Sox fan, so if that's the case, then she's definitely rooting for the Dodgers.

Yeah I figured she was an East Coaster, but wasn't sure where exactly.

I'm a Yankees fan and I hate the Dodgers, so obviously this is a pretty awful series. But man if the Yankees somehow pulled off the reverse sweep it would be absolutely legendary. 20 years after Dave Roberts and the Red Sox did it to them.

Realistically, I think they win at least tonight to stay alive briefly.

are gunlances still in the game? that and insect glaive

Both are still there. Doubt they'll ever remove any of the 14 weapons they have now.

I'm at over 300 hours and haven't touched multiplayer at all yet. My plan is to beat Alatreon, Fatalis, and AT Velkhana before finally playing multiplayer. Although that by point, I may just be done with the game considering Wilds is out early next year.

I don't really know what to choose for a second weapon to carry. Probably will be a mix of weapons, with Switchaxe always occupying the first weapon slot.

I cannot play the beta though. Need to get a new PC by Feb 28th if I want to play at launch.

Dodgers won Game 1 of the World Series with a walk-off grand slam.

Three games until it is mathematically proven that Vtubers have magical winning powers.

I'm still mad that they didn't get Kanata for that. She's a huge baseball fan, fits the blue theme, and is an angel, which ties into LA obviously.

Also I wonder if Gura even wants the Dodgers to win. She could be a fan of one of the two New York teams for all we know.

Gonna look really bad if Judge strikes out three times again and gets booed at Yankee Stadium.

Bad managing.

Didn't watch most of the game because I had to be up early. Sounds like some horrendous managing by Boone though.

Showed off a new map, three new monsters that all looked really great, and announced an Open Beta Test for the end of the month.

Pretty good stuff. I won't be able to play the Beta since my PC would probably explode, but still cool.

I loved Godzilla as a kid and as an adult I finally managed to watch every movie in the franchise. Easily my favorite film franchise. And between Minus One and the Legendary films, things are really looking up for Godzilla.

Misdreavus is my favorite Ghost type, but I don't like Flutter Mane as much. Going with Skeledirge here.

The MLB players union is pretty strong, and players mostly don't want a salary cap. And owners don't want a salary floor. Right now all there is the Competitive Balance Tax, which is designed to keep the larger market teams in check. Here's some info on that:

https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/competitive-balance-tax

The teams will go over that threshold, but they're always wary of it because they have to pay significantly more the more they go over that threshold.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The Yankees generally have the highest or one of the highest payrolls in baseball and are often criticized for going after big name free agents all the time. Essentially "buying championships". But that's kind of the point. Teams that spend big are generally the ones that win the World Series. And the Yankees' best player is a homegrown player, so that criticism is even more stupid in recent times than it was in the past.

The Dodgers operate in a similar manner, but they made the two biggest signings in the offseason. Shohei Ohtani is one of those signings, and he received the largest contract in the history of any sport. But due to how it's structured, he is going to be receiving most of that money after his contract is up, which will free up payroll space for the Dodgers in the 10 years he'll be playing for them. As a result, the Dodgers actually have only the 5th highest payroll in MLB right now.

I think the Yankees win in 6 or 7. The Dodgers pitching has been really good this postseason despite all the injuries, but the top of that Yankees lineup is going to be tougher than what they faced with the Padres and Mets.

The Yankees have some good starters and their bullpen has kind of been overperforming. But I think they'll be able to just get over the hump that is the Dodgers lineup.

I couldn't care less about Cliffy B's opinion on anything.

Too bad we didn't get a Subway Series. Hopefully the Yankees crush the Dodgers.

The Chad Gorosaurus

Actual answer is probably either Anguirus or Gigan. Though I do really like Gorosaurus too.

The AL Central does deserve some credit this year since 2 of the 3 teams that made it did at least win a playoff series.

I don't really like Milotic all that much. Voting for the chicken.

Also this one from Korone and Okayu is a classic

Yes, although it's not my favourite in the original trilogy. That'd be Halo 2.

The campaign isn't as interesting as Halo 2 and it has a genuinely terrible level in Cortana (especially on Legendary) but the multiplayer is top notch. I must have spent a fair few hours playing that on Xbox Live back in the day.

Also just listening to the main menu theme brings back so many memories waiting for a game.

Cortana isn't that bad because the Flood are much more fun to fight in Halo 3 than the prior two games. And you have a lot more options to deal with them. I think High Charity from Halo 2 is probably a worse mission (though still not bad). And The Library in CE is clearly much worse.

Halo 3's campaign having four player co-op was a really big deal though. Made it so much fun to replay over and over.

I'm really fucking sick of Cleveland winning the AL Central every year just to not make the World Series. Banish them to the AL East or some shit.

All they need to do is start spending some more money. Doesn't necessarily need to be as much as the big boys, but they gotta stop being so cheap.

Postseason Stanton is crazy

10 runs isn't enough

8 runs through 3 so far for the Mets. Hopefully this series goes back to LA.

Quite the game there

Bad matchup for Kommo-o

Karl from Deep Rock Galactic

Corviknight is probably one of the best Gen 8 mons. If not the best. Like him more than Skarmory too.

Never saw the American one.

But Gojira is probably the best movie in the franchise. Minus One came really close though. And Shin is not far behind either of them.

I like Bronzong

None of the genies are cute. Not even an easy knock on the genies, since their Therian forms aren't too bad. But they're certainly not cute.

Just wait until Diaz comes in.

Crobat is one of the best Pokemon ever made. Bidoof is pretty cool, but he's no match.

Get fucked Dodgers. That's what you deserve for intentionally walking Lindor.

Yeah I don't really want to see the Dodgers win this series.

The DLC did quite a bit. The final boss for the second DLC is really bad.

Ammo scrounging in Doom Eternal is the fucking worst mechanic in Doom history

But you don't ever have to really scrounge for ammo. You just have to use the chainsaw often. So yeah, you do have to play the way the game wants you to play. And that's understandably not for everyone.

I like it, but I'd be content if Doom went back to being a traditional shooter.

Is this gonna be a plot for Gen X? Seems there is an unknown legendary trio.

Doubt it. I'm pretty sure this is just the background lore structure they created while developing Diamond and Pearl. It's not even really canon. The stuff with all the pseudo legendaries in particular seems like a concept they dropped.

My warm take: If ScarVi didn't have the technical issues it would widely be considered the best Pokmon game ever.

Not best, but definitely up there. The performance issues really are terrible though.

Well 3 of the 4 teams that got the bye made it to the Championship series. I guess the bye isn't as detrimental as some thought.

Oracles and Twilight Princess are too low for me. I'd also put Majora higher.

Tears of the Kingdom would be knocked a little bit lower for me and Link's Awakening would be knocked a good deal lower.

Not a bad list overall though.

Randomly cut into a gambling commercial after Rocchio made that catch. Absolutely appalling.

I always liked Lane Thomas. Good for him.

I'd rather the Yankees face the Tigers in the ALCS, since I think they'd be the easier team to beat. But I do like this Cleveland team.

Also, can I have a 40 year old "old man" moment?

I lament the continuing loss of the clear ace. Like, look at Detroit here tossing out Skubal and being like, "This is our ace. He is fucking fantastic and unless YOU get to him? He is throwing at least 7 innings"

Fucking Cleveland? They didn't even give up a run yet and they were already going to the pen in the 4th inning. Like, WTF. More and more teams are just going, "LOL, starter going more than 5? What are you, a fucking idiot?"

I know there are probably plenty of analytics nerds that are gonna roast the fuck out of me for this opinion and that it is more about pitchers moving into being all about power strikeout pitchers so they're tossing like 100 pitches into the 5th inning... but isn't Skubal just proving that maybe the tried and true ace going 7-8 innings and pitching often to contact still is probably the IDEAL?

Cleveland does have an ace though, he's just injured. Shane Beiber's season ended at the beginning of the year. That's really the main problem. Every team wants to have a Tarik Skubal. It's just that even when they do, injuries have a good chance of ruining everything.

Baseball is also a crapshoot. The Dodgers' rotation is in shambles right now, but their bullpen did really well against the Padres in the NLDS. So bullpen games can end up being pretty effective. They're just not as fun to watch.

This bracket's full of surprises. I thought Mimikyu would beat Cubone and Mudkip would beat Sirfetch'd.

I also thought Tinkaton would beat Mamoswine, but figured it might be close. Turns out Mamo is winning and it's not particularly close.

It might have helped if you could only carry like three smoothies at a time and if they made them more expensive, but even then you can still spawn a bed at any time and completely heal (as long as youre not in battle).

Its weird seeing them try to fix this issue when it wasnt really an issue in the games before BOTW.

I don't think they were trying to fix any issue in particular, they just wanted to keep rolling with a system similar to BOTW/TOTK as far as crafting goes. I don't mind them being so OP because I'm not necessarily looking for the game to be as challenging as past 2D Zeldas. I do think where the system is flawed is that bottles have become a near worthless reward when in past Zelda games they are one of the most satisfying rewards you can get. They only hold fairies now, and death isn't something that occurs particularly often.

I think maybe the way it should have been done is have a couple more obtainable bottles, but smoothies and potions would have to occupy those bottles. This could keep the smoothies but also make bottles a very meaningful reward again.
