TopicIs 2018 the year people stop doing the Superb Owl joke?

I don't even think of it as a joke anymore. The Owl is basically synonymous with the Superbowl in my mind at this point.

I spend like half my year auditing tribal casinos. I'd say over half the Native Americans call themselves Indians. As a general rule we still refer to the people as Native Americans and the casinos as tribal casinos. On the off-chance we would offend someone, but I've yet to meet someone who cares.

It's not the quality of films that is different. It's that we're a bit more demanding today. You can't make a film with incredible plot conveniences, underwritten characters, and hokey messages about unity winning the day. Not anymore.

If the original Independence Day came out today, people would say that Will Smith's performance was the only good thing about it.

It's more than that. When ID4 came out, it was new and fresh. There had never been a major-budget disaster movie of that scale before. People went not because of great plot, writing, or acting but because it gave them something they had never seen before.

Fast forward a couple of decades and we've seen hundreds of these types of movies. Hell they basically define Emmerich's career. No one is impressed with wide-scale, major budget destruction because we've seen it over and over and over again. When the freshness is gone, people are going to start looking at the other parts of the movie, and it just doesn't hold up.

Useless might be overstating it. It's more that within each couple, one of them is obviously the "bad guy." The comics had them all be equally evil.

Even the "bad guy" ones aren't particularly competent or threatening. The series did a really good job of removing their villainous agency. That's not a compliment.

No one in a Miss ____ pageant is representative of most the populace. The whole reason these people get chosen for these positions is because they are super hot. Way hotter than the average person of any ethnicity.

would YOU be okay if miss nigeria had blonde hair/blue eyes and was caucasian?


Is she from Nigeria? If so, yes. These competitions aren't Miss Ethnic Majority of the Country They Represent pageants.

No word on sales tho?


Sales figures? Why does that matter? If you want a game, buy it. If the game is good, buy it. Your sale will factor into the sales numbers. You don't buy a game just because it's selling well.

Probably because Metroid as a franchise is in very real danger of getting shelved if this and Prime 4 don't sell well.

I don't know how you can "love" the split with a Gyarados on your team. I'd imagine it'd be more mixed emotions.

Do not drop Stafford. He is a reliable, high-scoring fantasy QB. Ride him out until Luck comes back and then play it game by game. Never trust Semen.

Wentz @ LAC would be my call. Chargers D is nothing special. That said, Stafford has a tendency to put up points even on decent defenses like the Vikings.

Semen should never be considered a QB1 option. He can have good games, but that's in spite of his mediocrity.

here's my favorite example of improvement in the show if you don't mind spoilers for an episode later in the series https://youtu.be/EFV4jxzBuGg?t=171

I always forget how fantastic the show looked in the later seasons.

So of the older groups that really only leaves SNSD, Girls Day, Secret, Miss A, and f(x) and I wouldn't be shocked if the latter three never promote again.

Well there is BEG too, but they are an entirely different beast.

I just feel as though Soyou should get a solo album by now. She's got more successful singles than Hyorin does and I love Hyo. And Bora, god bless her, needs more lines. Dasom has her own shows so she's fine.

I think Soyu does a good job of picking her collaborative singles (or having someone pick for her) and that leads to a lot of her success. I'm not sure an outright solo album would do as well.

So in six months, TT has surpassed IGAB to become the most watch girl group video on Youtube. Now obviously Youtube viewership now is far different than it was in 2013, but it's still crazy to think about.

Okay in the beginning I was like this is just too easy but I got 48 :\ Should have known, I'm sorry but I don't even know all of 2ne1's songs and 9muses whut... I don't pay attention to the title of their songs!

Did you guys get them all? Shouldn't be too hard I guess.

I finally got around to doing this. I got everything but the SES song.
