I see thread titles and I'm afraid to even enter. Although I guess it's the same for gaming side now too, and I barely post there.

I used to read and mildly participate in that thread until I got bitched out for discussing the book. In the book thread.
Pretty much this.
I click on the OT maybe once every couple of months. I rarely click on a single thread unless there is something crazy going on like the World Cup and I want to see what's going on.

I'm not surprised. I feel like a majority of people in there don't even like them and they've read them all. Typical conversation is like:
"I'm upset they changed X"
"So what? X was stupid anyway!"

Exactly. It got to the point by the time I left where the default argument was basically that something's inclusion in the book was proof that it is bad. Either that or the rebuttal was "Yeah but D&D didn't think it was important." Oh, OK.

I really thought we had moved beyond this "sign washed up former Dallas Stars" phase, but I guess not.

Sobotka went to the KHL? Whaaaaaaat? I'd love to have him on the Pens if the Blues don't feel like paying him.

I just woke up in a cold sweat realising that I can't make Heatley driving jokes anymore.
I wander around in there mostly in the off-season when draft and free agency are over, like now.
There are some good threads. Just avoid everything with a title that starts with "Should I" or similar and refers to some facet of personal life, religion, etc.
I'm supposed to go sell my ps3 to some girl (I posted a kijiji ad) who texted me a ton last night and is overly friendly so I'm wondering if this is a trap and I'm gonna get jumped. She even said at one point that she didn't want me to think it was a scam, which of course made me think it was even more, lol. Hmmmm.

Erik Gudbranson inks a two year bridge deal. No word on dineros yet.

I kind of want Brown to stay with the Kings in his 10 goals a year form

I see what you did there
Some nice knees Etem has, it would be a shame if something happened to them...
Tell her to meet you in a Starbucks or something, what can they do, just snatch it and run?
Show up beforehand, keep it positioned hard to access until you get the cash.
Also you could take a friend with you.
I guess they could be paying you in counterfeits but....seems unlikely given the consequences.

This is a very fair, if not overly so, value for Sobotka to turn down.
If he's leaving, he's chasing big money that only the NHL -> KHL route will provide.
Eh, it just depends on what you click.
TV threads are usually okay (though the book GOT thread gets ridiculous).

Yeah as much as I like the guy, that's crazy money.
Just wish we hadn't signed Ott to sour things further.

Good point, ship him out with Jarrett Stoll to the KHL

It'd be faster to point out who isn't a Forza alt here!
Sigh...I miss hockey talk. Only thing I saw was something about knees and Heatley

KHL gonna poach. I really don't mind, separates the players you want from the players you don't. O'Reilly has his spot reserved I'm sure.

They could trade the captain of two cup winning teams away tomorrow and maybe, MAYBE 50% of Kings fans would realize something was different next post season.
Let's talk about Clarkson

Some guys really want money. From what I read about playing in the KHL(especially as a foreigner) I wouldn't think it's worth it.

OT has totally jumped the shark this summer. A sample of outrage/ridiculous threads on the front page right now:
Police shoots "vicious lunging pit bull", turns out to be a Labrador retriever
Do you rock socks with sandals?
Would you date a girl who had genital herpes?
Texas Cheerleader is an unrepetant (sic) killer of large game including Lions and Rhino
Would you date an under-age (i.e. under 18) person?
At some point to we begin to wonder what outsiders' perception of the community is when threads like these (and similar/worse depressing news stories and manufactured outrage) are regularly near the top of the front page and garnering large post counts?

Would you date a GIRL who had genital herpes? A GIRL??? Why are you imposing your gender binaries on me??? RAPE!
Nerds are creepy, news at 11.
I drifted into some anime thread the other day, and some bloke was going on about how he watches hentai of the characters from his favorite shows as it brings him closer on a personal level to said character. He wasn't the only one either... Wtf?

Forgot about him, I wonder what injury he's dealing with right now.
I'm not sure if it's a result of me being on here for a few years now, or just Gaf getting more popular, but this kind of shit seems to be becoming more and more prevalent.

What's worse than the titles are the replies
But don't worry, we will always (hopefully) have our bubble.

How are you supposed to carry out a fully fledged relationship without sexual stimulation, Giggzy? Sex is an important aspect of any relationship. Unless you're saying a guy and his 2D woman of choice aren't really together...which just strikes me as regressive and probably is a stance that would be frowned upon by 3021. You should really try opening up your mind or your great grand children will be talking about their lineage of bigotry. If you can even have children in a respectable society.

This is the Blues we're talking about. Things were going way too good to be normal for this team.
I know. It just makes no sense at all. I'm not upset about Sobotka leaving, but rather that they chose to replace him with Ott. I can't think of a single good reason for doing it.
Damn I look good thereBack to the good old days
dear lord, im going to change my avatar when i get home
You're so right. Damn, why do I need to be such a right wing, closed-minded conservative.
LOL
How long until the Fire Emblem Awakening thread gets locked down in Gaming side?
Last I saw it turned into a waifu war.
When I saw that thread I figured that's what it would mostly be.

It's so weird to me that Yosemite is a destination for tourism. I've never gotten use to it. Just like Southeast Fresno County being a destination for Japanese people because of the blossom trail.
