It would be pretty hard for us to take it worse than OM is right now. He’d have to leave for Bama and win a natty or two there for it to even approach the levels of pettiness we’re seeing out of that bunch right now.
All fair points. I can’t say I disagree. I think there’s still a little demand for open-world if done right (BotW was very well received not that long ago), but it can’t be procedurally generated slop.
I think a lot of us had some disagreements with the official ratings a while back. What would you have rated differently?

A refresher on the system:

3 Stars: Worth making a special trip for

2 Stars: Worth making a detour for

1 Star: Worth stopping for

Bib Gourmand/Rising Stars: Those with good value/potential

I love the Pelicans but I don't see how or why the league would expand and end up with teams in cities like New Orleans or Memphis that are just doormats with owners who don't look like they give a flying frick about anything.


The league needs losers to make the stars shine brighter. You’ve got to know your role.
Faults with the tv series aside, I think this world would be pretty fun to play around in if done right. There’s loads of runway for future expansions and content. The shortage of true magic could make healing a bit of a lift to explain, but I’m willing to suspend disbelief, lol.
We’re just assassinating programs out here. You love to see it. By the time we’re done Mississippi State might be the best program in their state again. :lol:
Louisiana
Best: Food, drinking, events, social scene
Worst: jobs, culcha, politics

That was insult enough. Some of those tools actually thought he deserved the HEISMAN over Daniels. Insanity.

And honestly I don't understand the Kiffin/Bama "dream job". Why? Because he was an OC for a few years there?


I think if Kiffin ever had a “dream job” it was USC. He spent a lot of his early career around the West Coast and the high-tide of that program under Pete Carroll.

Dream jobs are for kids. Kiffin is fifty now. A man grown. He cares about hard facts and what is needed to build his own legacy. Not basking in the afterglow of a program past its prime.
It’s because they view us as merely a wacky side character in college football. Not more worthy of the spotlight than”prestigious” programs like Notre Dame, Alabama, etc. On a state level we’re not viewed as a peer or serious people. We’re just those funny, dumb swamp people who like to party.
If Ole Miss has three natties then we have AT LEAST five. Maybe six.
Haven’t you heard? He’s el gaucho. :lol:

Right? If that were the case for me I’d be packing my bags for Miami or LA. Somewhere with sun, sand, and smokin’ hot women.

Thank god someone still respects the rules around here.

Sales (especially back in the day) are only a measure of hype and past performance. I don’t trust reviews, lol.

What was not to love about this game?


I particularly didn’t like all the backtracking for FIVE different characters. Three would have probably been fine. I also felt like some of the worlds underachieved. Decent concepts, but I can’t say I loved any after the sand level.
I haven’t played anything newer than DK64, but I heard great things. They’ve definitely got the platforming in a good place.

I always heard Banjo Kazooie was great, but I’ve never played.
I think DK64 being such a flop has scared anyone from trying again, but it could be done. We’ve got so much more experience with the genre now and much of the world building is already done. The main thing is -for the love of god- keep the kollecting under control.

It’s the only viable answer as to why another book has never been written. He was right to admit that he’s closer to Sam than Tyrion.
Because it’s not mysterious (almost magical) like tech and can’t be propped up for years on end with promises of outlandish future growth.

Industry also requires a lot more capital to build the infrastructure than tech (pre-AI) and other IP dependent businesses. It’s just not possible to get those outsized earnings multiples when you’ve got so much overhead.
