(+) Yeah! (+)

Golden State and the Golden Knights will probably both win it all. Makes you think

Isn't there a Golden Bears ncaa team? They will probably win it all too.

I'm still mad that they're the golden knights when Nevada is the SILVER state....SMH

Overwatch heads: a player kill streak just means you participated in however many kills in between deaths of your own, not that you actually finished that many guys off yourself right? I need to know how impressed with myself I should be for having a 10 player kill streak with Tracer last night (the answer is extremely impressed)

You think of them before the Golden Gophers? SMH

Yes those kill streaks are eliminations not final blows. If you damage a guy and he dies within a certain amount of time, you get an elimination. For a cod/halo like K:D, look at Final blows: deaths. Final blows give you more charge on your ults though

They never win anything

So in other words I should never look at final blows:deaths

Right because that never tells you how good you're doing in a match cuz it's all objective based, obv

Right. It's a really good game even when I'm getting frustrated because if I have 3 bad rounds and 1 good one it still feels good. That said, I hate Hanzo and his stupid dragons he launches like 80 times a match and everyone picks him.

Yeah it can be really frustrating at times, but one thing I really liked about it coming from league of legends is that sure you'll get mad every so often but the matches are like 10 minutes. In LoL I would realize I just wasted 45 minutes getting pissed at a video game

I haven't played it quite as much as @STLCards1991 yet but because we are roommates I've been messing around with it a bit and I like playing as Reinhardt and Mercy because I don't need to have the insane reflexes or aim that some of these gamer kids have to feel like I'm contributing

The only reason I'm good at Overwatch is because the hitboxes are huge and there's some kind of aim assist, at least on consoles. When my group switches to CoD or Rainbow Six, I get absolutely destroyed. So I think anyone can do well in Overwatch with some practice.

Also if you like Reinhardt and Mercy, you might like the new character Brigitte.Maybe you've used her already, but she's a healer with a shield and you don't have to aim much.

I've noticed the aim assist a little bit I think but mainly with like Soldier 76 and not someone like McCree who requires more precision. I've been really bad with McCree despite my claims I would main him. I do think he's cool though.

Mcree is hard.
I don't think there's an aim assist on pc

First win in the finals in Caps history.

that Holtby save tho..holy shit. That might even make #9 or #10 on sportscenter tomorrow, after a bunch of yankees home runs and Curry/Lebron highlights from 2 games ago

Oh....... You're one of "those" hockey fans......

Remember that time in 2006 when a David Ortiz walkoff single was the #1 play on sports center. I'm still furious about that

what does that even mean? I'm mostly just bashing ESPN. I often think of this incredible tweet from my old friend from high school. this was when Lebron was playing for Miami in the NBA finals in April 2013. Over 5 years ago. He took a picture of what was showing on ESPN

5 blurbs about a 3rd string QB getting released on the offseason, 1 blurb about the NBA finals that were currently happening

Edit: ok it wasn't the NBA finals, but it was the NBA playoffs. my point stands

Alright buddy relax I was just giving you a hard time. You see those hockey fans talking shit all the time about how it's the only real sport played by real men or whatever and again, I was just giving you shit. I literally never watch ESPN.

What's Johnny Football been up to lately

He signed with a CFL team, remember

yeah I know you were just joshing, but that reminded me of this person I'm FB friends with, who probably has the worst account of all time and made me hate myself even more than I already do (as someone who likes hockey). Here are some of the photos she uploaded:

We need to make memes illegal

I really like memes but some of them (like the ones above) barely qualify as humor

I can guarantee just from looking at those pictures that she's single (sorry, I mean that she's Stanley Cup Playoffs)

The "Yes, I'm a girl" one is a good spinoff from the old school "yes I'm a gamer girl" posts.

You really shouldn't pitch with a blister. You can't just bleed all over the ball, that's not fair to anyone. Also the pitchers with hand blisters never get over them and it ruins their careers and makes every pitch agony. I'm not saying it's a worse injury but cmon, at least think about what a fucked up hand would actually do to a pitcher.

Good point. And idk why they used Adrian Peterson for that meme for "toe turf." It's called turf toe, and I don't recall AP ever having that injury. It also sounds incredibly painful and virtually impossible for hockey players to get

Toe Turf

Toe Turf is a good username for chewy to use when he gets sick of his current one

So in like 2 days

Guy at work who watches videos all day is currently explaining why subbed hentai is better than dubbed

Wow I wish I had a job where they let me watch hentai

What are his reasons

Dubbed hentai is better because how can you look at the boobs/tentacles when you're busy trying to read words

Basically it boils down to the bad voice acting and bad dialogue breaking his immersion

That's what I was thinking.

Sounds like I'm just an unsophisticated simpleton who doesn't watch porn for the plot

The twins were down 8-0 in the 4th then in the 7th it became 8-8

I stopped watching the Cards after they gave up a back breaking homer in the 8th and started gaming and they scored 5 in the bottom of the 9th and won on a walkoff homer. Well I'm glad they won. Just a little ticked I missed it.

JR Smith is such trash. He got a rebound on a missed Cavs free throw with the game tied and under 5 seconds left and instead of calling their last timeout he started dribbling it out like they had a lead

Now the Cavs are going to get crushed in OT

Yeah, that's fucking awful. For a second you could be forgiven for thinking it might be an interesting series. But obviously if the Cavs are that close in any game they can't let it slip away.

It seems like 1% of all hentai is dubbed so the argument doesn't really matter. Enjoy your reading and fapping.

I just saw that JR Smith play and it was truly awful. It almost made me feel bad for LeBron.

Gotta be pretty demoralizing. That's an all time bonehead move

As much as LeBron's teammates and coach suck... aren't these basically the guys he wanted? I know people exaggerate about him being the GM but he says positive stuff publicly about scrubs like Lue and Tristan Thompson and they get hired/extended. The Kyrie situation kind of fucked things up though because there's only so much you can get out of a trade.

I'm still amazed at how bad they are though. Even when they had Kyrie and Love, they could only rest against LeBron for like a minute at a time against GS because they'd start bleeding points. Are the players/coaching really that bad? Is there something about LeBron teams that they're built such that they don't know how to function when he's off the floor? Are the Warriors just too unfair?

51 points for lebron and they still lose. God damn. Up until overtime that game was incredibly entertaining tho

I don't think the Warriors' bench is any good this year, either. They got rid of a lot to fit Durant on the team. Their bench is still probably better because they seem to focus on moving and distributing the ball no matter who is on the court. The Cavs gameplan around LeBron being a super-athlete, but if he's not on the floor, there's nobody else who can fill his role.

It's hard for me to agree with "LeBron needs more help" when he did pick who he wanted on the team. In a roundabout way, he kinda threatened to leave the Cavs if they didn't give in to his demands to sign certain players like Tristan Thompson to a max contract, so he's still to blame when it turns out Thompson sucks.

That's what happens when you go to a team that has basically one good but unproven player (Kyrie) and was coming off like 24 or however many wins the last season. They had to essentially build that Cavs team up around him again and despite their one Finals win I'm not sure that was really a success.

The superteam thing in Miami and especially KD going to a 73-win Warriors team were annoying, but you gotta go somewhere that there's already talent and a winning system in place. Anywhere LeBron goes probably counts as a superteam but if he went somewhere like New Orleans or Philly it wouldn't be that annoying and at least you could count on him having some help
