RIP 2nd pair. You lasted almost 2 years.

What did you end up getting?
Haven't decided. Would prefer something with USB so it works on PS4 as well, but absolutely has to have non leather ear cups.
do you throw them in rage or something?!
They have a known shit durability issue right above the ears where the swivel meets the headband. Cracks and then can no longer hold against your head.
Weirdest shit ever......I broke mine last week and typed something about it in Dota...and like 5 seconds later Eznark was like...."WTF WTF....mine just broke too"

My first pair was my fault. I rushed out of the room and did something I never did before or after, left them on the floor. Came back in and opened the door and stepped on them.

Trying to find some fucking energy tubes that purges drop in primordia for this affinity quest bro.

I read that you have to attack a certain body part for them to drop more often? Maybe that was a different quest. I think I just bought the drop with reward tickets because I couldn't get them to drop for me. It might have been a different quest though

Sorry for not getting my game scheduled, was sick yesterday though I spent most of the day fooling around in Madden. I'll be able to play tonight any time after 5-530pm.

That works. I've been working from home sick too friend!

Soka I ended up getting them, just walked around that base for awhile murdering dudes and leveling up so it was worth it. Getting to Oblivia was actually a bigger pain in the ass.

Yeah, whatever you do don't accept the Affinity mission "Hope Springs Eternal" before you get your mech. It sends you across an ocean! The best part is you can't abandon those missions either

Two Madden related items. EA is making MUT an even bigger cash grab, all in, you don't spend $$$ you're not getting the players.

Second, today is the start of the Madden Draft Champs Invitational, check it out, wish I could watch the entire thing.

Yeah, All Pro. Honestly, there's very little difference besides some more block sheds on All Madden.

They patched a bunch of blitzes, but these guys know how to slide them anyway, but yeah, take a look I think you'll find it's not crazy cheap because these guys just attack what you give them. Madden was way worse back in the PS2 and early 360 days.

guy wide open in the flat for 3 seconds and he passes contested in the middle of the field

and then 4th & 7 from the 23 and he goes for it?

these guys are trash

Guys will go for it a lot. Moe is locking up his inside zone run game, formation is tough when you get that run game going.

On that 2nd 4th down Secret made a mistake, wanted the back on the curl but he put him on the curl thinking it wouldn't get bumped it did. If he turned it into a hitch and smart routed it, different result.

Edit: Moe is rattled on this two minute drive.
 
Hoping DM can play before the Vance. Blue, I can double dip tonight if you can play.

DCX

I am going to see Star Wars at like 2, then going out drinking after, and then depending upon how I feel I am probably going to downtown Los Angeles to participate in some giant outdoor lightsaber battle.

If I don't go to that then I'll probably be home. Otherwise I'm free most of the day on Saturday.

what's the whole quick motion right before snap?
They're trying to break man coverage press, it was actually fixed in a patch, but you can still do it on that one route. Funny thing is, Secret tried to motion on the boundary side, didn't have enough room, tried to snap, didn't get it, and ended up going to read 2 which led to INT.

saw a bunch of people saying he didn't belong in the tournament, so I'll check out the next game

wasn't impressed by either though... lots of stupid balls thrown, lots of passing up easy YAC for contested deep routes

Manual motion trying to break coverage?! I would have never guessed!

Greg, lots of prayer shots, most definitely.

Watching this DC tourney as well. Pretty interesting.

This traw dude is dumb and garbage

I think you'd actually like traw, watch his stream from time to time, funny dude. Man coverage is tough to beat and this dude Shugz is putting on him.

Edit: A lot of these guys aren't playing like they do on stream, lot more tense, different atmosphere. Not as loose.

last year we allowed motion, but had to wait for them to complete the motion and settle a second before snap

what they were doing here was different - as soon as they started the motion of the player they'd snap

Yeah maybe their tight. Raw has made numerous mistakes and misreads tho and the GL.
