115 million people crammed into West Virginia sounds perfectly fine to you?

The land area difference between Japan and the Philippines is the size of West Virginia. Your question makes no sense. The land area difference between Japan and the Philippines is the size of West Virginia. Your question makes no sense. I was comparing the sizes of those two countries to say that the Philippines isn’t as small as the OP thinks. Reading is not that difficult

Japan has a land area of 145k square miles and the Philippines have an area of 115k square miles. That’s amounts to an area a little bigger than the state of West Virginia. Philippines is clearly bigger than you think

Well…I have never played this game before (or any elder scrolls for that matter). This type of game wasn’t in my wheelhouse when I was younger. I tried playing Skyrim but didn’t get more than an hour in before I got distracted with another game, and never went back to it.

Got through the tutorial area tonight and first thing I did was go inside the ruins and get smoked by the bandit. Decided to shut it down and go to bed at 1 am. Can’t wait to really get started tomorrow.

Downside to working from home is that I may get fired tomorrow due to being away from my computer all day while playing this on the ps5

The only two features I want added (that I can currently think of) are

1) dynamic crowds…when I’m whooping that UGA arse I want their stands to be mostly empty by the end of the game.

2) historical playbooks. The create a playbook feature is too buggy, and older formations like wishbone are bare bones. I want to run stuff like the Osborne I formation with plenty of option plays available, for example. Would love to be able to use in-game playbooks that were designed specifically to replicate old game plans from the past.

Look at last year - the Braves play great ball all year and in the 2 games that matter Sale is in street clothes and Fried lays another October egg. So, no, I don’t care anything about the standings until June.

The Braves played great ball all year last year?

re: Best Male MTV Challenge Winner?

Bananas is the most well rounded.
Jordan is the best competitor in final challenges.
CT probably the toughest elimination challenger.

The next 3 would be Wes (well rounded), Darrell (Finals), and Derrick K (elimination).

I think Bananas and Wes are my top 2 overall when it comes to impact on the show. They were the 2 that completely embraced trying to make good interesting television content.

Landon is just outside that group of 6 for me mainly due to lack of longevity. My view of Alton is skewed because of his last couple of appearances where he came across as a real whacko.

This show did not disappoint. Tickets were crazy expensive but the cast delivered. Bill Burr in particular killed it. Granted he was basically playing himself but he didn’t seem out of place in the slightest. Well worth the trip.

our community rec league is still thriving, luckily. I grew up playing Little League in the 90s, and while there isn't a sanctioned little league where I live as an adult, the rec league is still really good. The 5-6 yr old T-Ball/Coach Pitch hybrid league has 8 teams of 10 players. I ended up taking a team as head coach due to the lack of volunteers...we were told they would have to hvae 14 kids per team if 2 more teams weren't formed, so I stepped up.

I didn't get a chance to observe the "tryouts", so I went into the player draft blind other than the spreadsheet of ratings from the tryouts.

Of my 10 players, only 3 kids didn't have a first name ending in "-son" or "-on" lol. Jackson, Bryson, Grayson, Cameron, Jason, Mason, Rylon
