Hmm. I tried, but eventually resorted to fast-forward. I find this editing style very hard to watch.

I may be the only one, Sabonis is an All-Star in his prime and these guys are both just starting their NBA careers, but I absolutely make that trade as the Kings. We'd be getting 20 year old Ron Holland II and 21 year old Jalen Duren -- both of whom are plus defenders. Tobias Harris is on an...

Yeah I agree, it's been a complete turn-around from where this team was two years ago -- in last place with the worst prospect pool in MLB. But I can't blame anyone for taking a "prove it" approach since there were a few years in a row there where it felt like this front office was actively...

Okay so this Leo De Vries kid looks really good. https://www.mlb.com/video/leo-de-vries-big-offensive-game

@Padrino was the San Antonio Spurs of this draft -- just found money all over the place. I haven't played any of these though (well, I have played Disco Elysium but only for about an hour) so I'm excusing myself from responsibility if he wins the overall vote. :D

For Black Flag, you should at least play up to Sequence 6 : The Siege of Charles-Towne. That will take you on a pretty good tour of everything this game has to offer -- an assassination mission at the Spanish fort in Havana, stalking Red Coats through a sugarcane plantation, an introduction to...

Oh sure, make them in Pre-Season why'dontcha! :D I'd like to see Moody figure out whatever's broken and solidify the PK role for the Niners for the next decade plus but he's got to do this in games that count before he'll start to earn back the trust that he lost last season. I'm shocked he's...

With this current roster, I don't see anything more than occasional mop up minutes left for him until/unless a main rotation player gets injured. But many of us expect this roster to change a lot over the course of the next year so it's also not hard to envision a scenario where he finds himself...

Should downloads count on the same scale as sales though when Pokemon GO is a free download and generates revenue through microtransactions while some AAA games now cost as much as $80 if you buy them on day of release? It probably should just be put into a whole separate category. Though if...

Oh I'm definitely interested in playing games about automation and solving logistical challenges -- that's not what that little commentary is about. I assume you didn't read that whole Myst essay I wrote but to summarize the relevant part in a single statement... The lore of Myst is about...

A highly-tradeable first round pick and a recent Sixth Man of the Year runner-up on a team-friendly deal seems like a pretty fair return to me. And if they make that trade now those are both pieces that they can throw into a trade-deadline package before the 2026 Playoffs. It may also be that...

Oof, yeah that was rough. That sunk our 2024 playoff chances. And this has become even rougher with Dallas somehow managing to both eliminate us from the playoffs and win the lottery to pick Cooper Giles just a year later. Dating back to 2003 when C-Webb's reign as an MVP level player...

Way to make your team look less attractive to young players coming into the league with the impending post-Steph era looming in Golden State, Steve. You just made yourself easier to fire.

I do wonder if the Kings and Warriors weren't a regional rivalry if this would have been resolved already. The protections reported for the first round pick don't seem that bad for GS. It's a lottery protected 2030 pick or they get a 2031 pick from either the Kings or the Spurs. If GS is going...

Now that there are charts I feel like I should clarify that I did deliberately draft the Riven VR remake from 2024 not the original Riven from 1997. I figured @Capt. Factorial just put down Riven on my draft list to emphasize that the original game was no longer eligible to be drafted based on...
