Is there an update?


None that I heard, I was just assuming that whatever leaks were mentioned earlier this year were probably wrong if it wasn't mentioned at the Zelda specific Direct.
That video appears to be from pre-June of this year. So, I don't know if there are any new details in there for the next Zelda mainline game.

Doesn't Canada change a week earlier in Fall? Maybe Halloween works better for them when it's dark and spooky?


We used to do that. In 2005, they moved the shift back to the first Sunday in November. Halloweens growing up were always in the dark for us. Now, at least where I live, sunset is around 6:30. That's pretty late to start Trick or Treating for pre-school kids.

I didnt have any communications with the outside world in those days, and I was the only zelda fan in my friend circle.


This is how I was with Ocarina of Time. I had no experience with any Zelda games. My mom got it for me because she heard it was the biggest game out there. I had heard some things here and there about, but I didn't know that it was the 4th (I think) version of the game. I am so glad my mom was in tune with what was popular, because they have been my favorite games ever since then.

I was always of the mindset that we needed to get rid of daylight saving time, but it’s simply too dark in the mornings. It’s 7 AM and it’s darker outside than when I went to sleep. I think I’m jumping back on the daylight saving time train.


We are still on DST. It will be brighter in the morning next week.

Is ND auto playoff spot the biggest coo in college athletics that is just overlooked?


This reminds me of that scene in Friends where Joey thinks the word is moo instead of moot. "It's like a cow's opinion, it's moo".

"It's like a how a baby just takes over your life, it's a coo."

I never came away disliking Debra. She had her faults but the stuff she had to deal with from Marie and Ray would make anybody crazy.
The manipulating that Marie did was crazy and I was sort unaware of it till re-watching it later in life and after seeing it 1st hand in our lives, I now relate.


I absolutely agree with the Marie aspect. She dealt with a ton. The manipulation is so much more apparent a an adult. However, from the same viewpoint of being older, her condescension with Ray is more annoying as well.

How was she to know what she was in for?


She could've listened to Ray who told her it was a bad idea, but she never listens to Ray. Ray was a goober, and he did deserve some scorn. However, the way she treated him as a man-baby while he provided for the entire family made her pretty unlikeable.

Seems like most TV couples are like that. Its almost like Hollywood may have some kind of agenda to make marriage look as unappealing as possible. Hmmn.


Or, the show would be pretty boring if the loving couple never fought. The conflict brought out all the comedy. It was a great formula. Relatable marital conflict, Artur in the middle, makeup at the end of the episode.
The Ocarina remake finally pushed me to buying the Switch 2. I am very excited about it. However, I think I am just as excited to play Wind Waker on it. It's the only mainline Zelda game that I have not had a chance to play yet.
Anytime I spot some buddies in the distance, I'll do the Forest covering his eyes from the sun to make sure, then the big happy wave to them.

My contribution, and one I use when I can:

He got me invested in some kind of fruit company. So, I got a call from them saying we don't got to worry about money no more. I said "Well, that's good. One less thing".

I just don’t understand the rationale for it and what the supposed benefits were supposed to be.



I am not arguing with your post from a strategy standpoint of trying to win the national championship. However, I will say that the point of all of this is entertainment. That is why we watch. I would gladly have an extra game against an SEC opponent rather than McNeese State. Those throwaway games have almost no entertainment value. In fact, it has greatly decreased in the last few years because watching potential future stars in those games has become irrelevant. The chances of that player being on the team next year are small.

So, I know the main rationale was money. However, that leads to more entertaining schedules as well.
Child support and alimony are things he can't change, but he can certainly save some money by not spending $12,000 a year on clothes. He could also try buying some Hillshire Farm brand items at the grocery store

I remember playing Bama in 2010. It was a 2:30pm game. Unreal weather, sun set behind the stadium and the cool air felt incredible. It went from sunny, to dusk, to night, all in one game. Got the dub and was home by 7pm to relax.


I agree that 2:30 after DST ends does not bother me, but you are misremembering the 2010 game. The game was played during DST. It was on November 6th. DST ended on November 7th.

I hate to be the stickler, but I vividly remember that Peterson reverse, and the memory in my head was definitely one during the day time. The sun was behind the stands, but it was not night time. So, I had to look it up. Maybe the very end was in the dark, but not the big plays we all remember.
The USFL has been experiment with rules that the NFL eventually adopts. I wonder if they would ever go to the drastic experiment of going without helmets. That's always an argument that get brought up that players would be a lot more cautious if they didn't have armor to launch at people. Well, I know they will never do it, but I'd like to see it.
Where I live, all the trunk or treats are this weekend. Maybe people don't go out on Halloween because they already did it, but it's not because they are doing trunk or treats Halloween night.

ow many majors do we think Cam would have won if he stayed on Tour?


Maybe one more. Majors are hard to win. Cam was good, but it's not the same question as how many Rahm potentially sacrificed.

Also, pretty crazy looking at his major record since leaving. He has made 1 cut in his last 9 majors.

What's crazy is that it's still 100% better than Switch 1 ergonamically as far as handheld play goes.


That's encouraging. I got a switch 2 for me and the kids for Xmas (it's hiding in my closet). When I am playing the Switch 1 alone, it is almost exclusively handheld since I really only play it when I get a few minutes here or there away from the kids and wife. I've never really had issues with playing handheld, but I am not the gamer many of you are. So, it's nice to know that handheld is better with the 2 than the 1 at least.
It's their original logo. Is this just all people born after 2000 making comments?

What if he's trying to parley it into a YouTube golfer type tour?

Hell.. It has some name recognition, then if you start sprinkling in some of the YouTubers with pretty big followings you could have something then.. Smaller payout scale, but still some legitimate action.. and if broadcast on YT to the crowd it's aimed at it may could survive..


Seems like it would be easier to just do it himself on Youtube and be in control of everything. Of course, he would have to give up Cameron Tringale, Brendan Steele, and Richard Bland. Big decisions.
I definitely wanted to be on Global Guts as a kid. I would probably still proudly display my piece of the Agrocrag on my mantle.

I liked watching Legends of the Hidden Temple, but I would never go on that show. The tribal people popping out and grabbing the kids absolutely freaked me out as a child.
