TIL Trout is a surname

The Angels also had a player named Tim Salmon back in the 90's.

there really isn't such a thing. the lack of a cba right now affects communication between teams and players, players and trainers, contract negotiations. spring training is only a couple weeks out, too.

Yep, teams haven't been able to do pretty much anything to prepare for the next season due to this lockout. Even if we somehow get a season that starts on time, teams will have to really rush to get things done.

Some of the highlights include Mike Trout as an actual trout, Mike Trout re-enacting scenes from E.T. and Titanic with teammate Shohei Ohtani, a giant Mike Trout eating Astros player and cheating sack of shit Jose Altuve, and Mike Trout kicking MLB commissioner Rob Manfred into a bottomless pit like in 300. This guy (and the lockout) has been going on for 50+ days now, but day 2 is still my favorite.

I'm pretty sure Phil Spencer said the games would remain multiplatform, plus the money CoD makes from microtransactions more than makes up for the people who would buy the games on Playstation instead of Xbox/PC. The most I could see happening in that regard is the CoD games being put on Game Pass a couple months after launch to revitalize the player base and get more players on the Xbox/PC side without totally cutting off PS players.

I do agree with the idea that CoD will shift away from the annual releases though.

You're right, so that Machamp isn't an option for me. I think once I get the 49 streak, I'll just replay the first 21 over and over again to farm BP. No glitches, just beating up on weaker Pokemon and beating the first Tower Tycoon battle over and over again.

Don't know if the 'Teach any move' glitch works in the most recent patch, but basically you can put Sheer Cold, Fissure, etc on a No Guard Machamp and run wild.

Perfectly ethical since the AI cheats all the time, and you can't use it against human players.

I'm actually still on version 1.1, so I can still use the Menu Glitch and all of the other glitches that come with it, including that one. I just wanted to achieve a 49 streak and beat the Tower Tycoon's second battle legitimately before I made something broken like that to farm BP.

I don't have the TM for it. I used the one I got during my playthrough and I'm still hoping for a seller in the Grand Underground to pop up with one to sell. In the meantime, I'm probably going to replace one of my coverage attacks on Azelf with Nasty Plot to deal with stallers like this.

Alteres posted...
How much fucking pp do those moves have?

Swagger has 15 normally, Leech Seed and Recover have 10. But I think the Battle Tower Pokemon might have max PP, so it would be 24-16-16 instead of 15-10-10. I was too annoyed to actually keep count.

This thing had Stockpile, Leech Seed, Swagger, and Recover, plus my Mamoswine missed with Icicle Crash when the Cradily was in kill range 3 separate times. After Mamoswine went down due to confusion damage, it got to the point where I had to just keep switching between my Rotom and Azelf over and over, not using any moves, until the Cradily eventually ran out of uses of Leech Seed, Swagger, and Recover. I still managed to win and keep my BT streak alive (this was battle #41) but this single battle against this single Pokemon took a whole entire hour for me to win.

TL;DR: Fuck stalling and fuck Cradily

I can't stand him. I respect his game. But it has got stale for me. His dominance for so long has eroded my interest in the sport among other reasons.

Same, especially for me growing up as a Dolphins fan. Brady spent 18 years oppressing the Dolphins and the AFC East, and I just got sick of constantly seeing him win. The only reason I haven't completely given up on the NFL (like I did with college football because fuck Alabama for similar reasons) is that I know that father time will eventually catch up with Brady and he'll eventually retire and leave us the fuck alone.

If the NFL were rigged, the NFL would want the Rams to win the Super Bowl in their own home stadium this year (since LA is hosting it) to justify the move from St. Louis and make it seem like a success. If anything, Brady making this comeback would proves that it isn't rigged. That or Brady is simply so good that he can even overcome the NFL rigging against him.

Duck! apparently (from what I gathered) can take unholy amounts of damage like Biohazard did in oldskool battlebots.

Duck is an absolute tank who's literally won multiple fights with the "ram your face into the fist until the fist breaks" tactic in past seasons. But if the opponent's weapon/bot doesn't break on its own, then it really can't do much back and will just lose the judge's decision. Duck's super-defensive fighting style is (ironically) really high-risk because it's so dependent on the matchup and the reliability of its opponent.

I'm not sure if that was a HUGE upset by Riptide or just a HUGE batch of bad luck. Either way, the rookie gets the win! Net up is Fusion vs. Cobalt, and I actually didn't know that Cobalt was being run by a new team this season. I guess Dave Moulds and the rest of Team Carbide couldn't make it due to COVID restrictions?

Another week, another Thursday filled with metallic mayhem! Here's the fight card for tonight:

https://i.imgur.com/HFFGJJ6.jpg

The main event this week pits the dangerous Copperhead against the sturdy veteran Lock-Jaw, plus a matchup of bots from world champion teams as Fusion takes on Cobalt, and more returning favorites like Hypershock, HUGE, Icewave, and Witch Doctor all across the card.

As usual, please put any discussion of match results under spoiler tags until 24 hours after the episode airs out of consideration for people who can't watch the episode live, especially if you decide to watch the episode early on Discovery+ before it airs on TV. Showtime for us TV viewers is at 8PM EST tonight on Discovery Channel (about an hour from the time of this post) and stay on the lookout for the bonus fight on the BattleBots Youtube channel this coming Sunday.

Activision might as well just rely on CoD warzone in this case then, just like what Epic does for Fortnite. It's a constant stream of revenue and all they ever need to do is produce the occasional lootboxes and P2P items, sit back and make a s*** load of cash

Activision also doesn't need to release a CoD every single damn year (even BF series doesnt do that) but they're clearly doing it to make quick bucks. This at the expense of innovation and effort put into their games

They want Warzone to bring people into the franchise, and then they want those players to buy the mainline games as an easier way to unlock and level up guns for Warzone. The focus being on Warzone is the biggest reason why the last three mainline CoD games have been between mediocre and just plain fucking awful, and the rushed development because they refuse to go a year without a new CoD game is the second-biggest reason. This year, it's finally biting them in the ass like never before, because Warzone and all three recent mainline CoD games are all in varying states of fucked up, and the player base is just pissed off all around.

The only positive developments in CoD's standard multiplayer over the past three years are all of the post-launch content (maps and base weapons) being free for everyone and the removal of supply drops in favor of a storefront where you know what cosmetic items you're getting for your money. But being more player-friendly with the monetization is pointless if the games themselves are buggy dumpster fires.
