Hotel bar it is I hate the all star break so much. Never watch it anyway so it's a break in games for me |

| ShatteredElysium 02/20/18 7:42:22 PM #280 | Regarding miniatures, I've been playing Gloomhaven recently and really enjoy that. I also loved Scythe. Least favorite Rex: Final Days of an Empire if only because I bought it ages back and have yet to play the damn thing. It looks interesting but every time I turn up with it we end up playing something else because nobody wants to dedicate the time to learning the rules and as I haven't played it myself yet I can't like give a cliffnotes version I don't mind dice chucking games as long as there's still a decent chunk of skill/strategy involved. If it's majority RNG then not so much |

| ShatteredElysium 02/16/18 7:00:29 PM #10 | red13n posted... FFXI. This. I am still very good friends with people from XI and our Linkshell ended up with 6 marriages and 5 kids that I can think of off the top of my head but it's probably more than that. Only one of those marriages didn't work out in the end (was actually my own) but we still were together for 10 years and married for 7 and are still good friends now (just fell out of love with each other). We also have had an annual meet-up every year for the last 9 years. We always get people flying in from pretty far away to be there. The meet-up is in England and last year we had 3 people flying over from the US (including myself), 1 guy from Australia and multiple from Europe to be there. |

Or maybe like a quick season review of all the teams in the league in the waiting period? No worries if you don't have time to do that, I know it's a ton of work. Was thinking more to just keep the topic going until playoffs start |
| Topic | Youtube - Need Help. *Not a promotion* |
| ShatteredElysium 02/16/18 11:16:14 AM #30 | The few videos I have on Youtube all have like 500-1000 views and they were guides for mobile games that were often lacking. So like at the beginning of Tales of Link (RIP) release, I made a video of me clearing Soul Arena on the hardest setting with a few pointers. I also made a video for Valkyrie Connect showing a boss being cleared without a certain Hero everyone insisted was mandatory.I could have probably piggybacked off both of those videos with just general gameplay from those games if I wasn't lazy. When I played Final Fantasy XI and XIV a friend in my group uploaded videos of high end boss clears and even a world first video. Those generated like 10-100k views, the world first one actually created well over 100k but we removed that because it caught official SquareEnix attention and we didn't want the level of scrutiny it brought. Those seemed to generate views even without me advertising because they were original content for popular games that seemingly wasn't readily available from other people/groups. So my advice would be to either hop on a new game for content or find a niche game that others don't really make videos about. But that's the extent of my Youtube experience (i.e. not a lot) |

There's 100 questions it pulls from at random I passed (15/20) but not by enough that I would on the actual test as it's not multiple choice. I'll worry about that when I apply for citizenship in a few years! |

Pretty certain wrestling has never been 'cool' in my lifetime. For sure I never mentioned watching wrestling to anybody outside of the other people I knew for sure watched it. And amongst my peers, watching wrestling was something you were always going to be poked fun at for watching. Hell, the only reason I was into wrestling at all was because I watched it from a very young age with my grandfather. |

Threw together a very quick Paladin deck without much through going into it. First game got Coin > Lost in Jungle > Lost in Jungle > Turn 2 Crystal Lion Second game got out a double digit Bolvar behind a beefy Val'watevered taunt pretty quickly to steamroll Like this only works because it is literally at Rank 25 but made me laugh anyway.

| ShatteredElysium 02/08/18 10:11:43 PM #111 | In two years, Orlando managed to turn Tobias Harris, Victor Oladipo, and Elfrid Payton into Terrence Ross and a second round pick. That's some solid work |
| Topic | NBA Discussion Topic 6: The Quietest Trade Deadline |
| ShatteredElysium 02/08/18 5:43:33 PM #98 | What likely sealed his fate was the fact we generally perform better when he's not a starter or injured. Decent off the bench, not as a starter |
| Topic | NBA Discussion Topic 6: The Quietest Trade Deadline |
| ShatteredElysium 02/08/18 5:33:40 PM #97 | Yeah I just figured he was worth keeping as a bench player if all we are getting for him is a mid second. He won't cost a lot to retain in RFA It's not like we are getting suns second, getting the middle pick of Miami, Memphis and Charlotte |
| Topic | NBA Discussion Topic 6: The Quietest Trade Deadline |
| ShatteredElysium 02/08/18 5:28:07 PM #95 | We traded Elfrid away for a second round pick? That's disappointing. He wasn't starting caliber but would have been a useful bench player and can't have cost that much to retain I mean his Defence was shocking but he had an 18+ PER. And not like we have another PG Although I guess we wcouldn't have gotten any more for him. Just figured he would have been a useful bench player |

| ShatteredElysium 02/08/18 12:06:59 PM #17 | TheRock1525 posted... So if you look at the 9 teams likely fighting for playoff spots in the East this year, 3 of them didn't make the playoffs last year. The top 7 teams are largely the same except replace Atlanta with Miami. The top 4 are exactly the same except in different order, and Milwaukee/Indiana have moved from 6th/7th to 5th/6th this year, respectively. I genuinely believe if the Magic hadn't suffered all those injuries we would be in the mix. Might not make it but we would be around that mark. At the height of injuries we went 1-15. Since the injuries started (2+ starters out per game) we have gone 9-32. I wouldn't be surprised if once we get starters back (should be soon) we go .500 or better for rest of season unless we intentionally start tanking. I expect we will end up with like 29-32 wins and in no man's land at like 10th pick in draft |

| ShatteredElysium 02/07/18 9:45:57 AM #483 | Yeah that Biyombo looked awful at the time and somehow looks even more atrocious now. Why we would give him 17m a year for 4 years when he couldn't pass or shoot is beyond me. Especially when we had Vucevic still on the books for 12m a year for 3 or 4 more years. It still baffles me that everyone wants us to trade Vucevic. He's our second best player and averages a like 17-18 pts, 9-10 rebs a game whilst being on a really good deal. And more importantly, more than anyone else on the team be loves Orlando and wants to be here |

| ShatteredElysium 02/06/18 9:46:50 PM #448 | To put into perspective how bad that loss is. That's the first time we have won back to back games since November when we were 8-4. We were 8-32 since then prior to that Cavs game. Pretty sure the Heat, Knicks and Cavs are the only teams we have beaten more than once. And that's only the third time since the start of January we've held a team to under 100 in 16 games (Nets and Celtics are the other 2) |
| Topic | NBA Topic 5.5: Ya'll let it purge while I was away. |
| ShatteredElysium 02/06/18 9:28:33 PM #445 | Yeah that Cavs game didn't get any better for them. 116-98 which included losing 65-31 in the 4th (9 point 4th quarter). I'm sure at one point they were up by more than 20. Lue left in the 2nd with an undisclosed illness and did not return. Simmons scored a career high 34 points. |

| ShatteredElysium 02/06/18 8:52:50 PM #439 | Cavs scored 43 past us in the 1st quarter and led by 16 at half time. They lost the third to us 41-22 to be behind by 3 entering the 4th They are such a mess right now. |

| ShatteredElysium 02/06/18 7:25:30 PM #437 | Damn Hezonja averaging 16.5 points a game, 52.2% FG and a ridiculous 60.8% from 3 (14-23) since filling in for Aaron Gordon Who would have thought that maybe just maybe we needed to give him minutes that weren't garbage time minutes. Although he's obviously unlikely to keep up that 3PT% or anywhere close to it so will likely suffer a drop off soon Shame we have zero chance of resigning him if he keeps playing well since we declined the 4th year option so can only offer that as a max I think ($5.2m). If he keeps playing well someone will surely take a flyer on him for more than that price. |

| Topic | NFL Super Bowl Discussion Topic: Patriots/Eagles |
| ShatteredElysium 02/05/18 9:36:47 PM #433 | QB's take up somewhere between 11-17% of the salary cap in a sport where if everything were even people would take up 1.88%. NBA teams have a cap of what? 25-30% for 1 player in a 13 player squad? Scale that to NFL squad size and it becomes like 6-7% max for a player. I mean sure it's not that simple but that also doesn't account for the fact that the NBA allows teams to go over the cap (which of course they do by a lot) and that the money is guaranteed. I think realistically a cap of like 8% per player would be fair. That's still 14-15m per year and you could offer benefits to a re-signing team if you really wanted. And then the benefit to the player is that contract negotiations would be more about how much are you guaranteeing them rather than what ridiculous amount of money are you giving them, I know it will never happen and I'd rather see the cap removed if I'm honest (as then other players would get paid rather than having to get less because the QB is taking 25m a year) |

| ShatteredElysium 02/05/18 7:34:14 AM #251 | It's interesting to see the positional spreads of those players in relation to the round they were drafted. I guess some of it is dictated by who is available but it looks like people are more willing to tolerate certain positions, even with no development, over others since it looks like those 5th and 6th rounders barely developed over the years. I guess part of that is driven by contracts too since some positions are far pricier than others to leave sat out of the rotation. 1st LE Mathias Kiwanuka (Patriots - 89 OVR) LT D'Brick Ferguson (Wildcats - 94 OVR) FS Pat Watkins (Hawks - 85 OVR) WR Derek Hagan (Panthers - 89 OVR) SS Darnell Bing (Seahawks - 85 OVR) RE Eric Henderson (Pumpkins - 73 OVR) ROLB A.J.

Only reason I ask if I remember you saying that he has never performed to his stats and was managing only like 500 yards a season and you didn't expect that to improve with the Steelers QB play. Then this year for the Steelers he put up 964 yards, 6 TDs which might be his career high? Or am I remembering wrong what you said about him? I tried to find the post but it purged and I can't for the life of me remember the board 8 archive website |
