Around the League Part 11: When in doubt, blame Fortnite

[DaveG]

Pretty good for an undrafted player

Pretty good for a player that didn't even break in to the league as a regular until they were 26.

My wife still likes to give me a hard time about when we were first dating in college about how I interrupted us fooling around to harvest and plant a new crop of blueberries.

You must have been quite the playa to feel that you had enough options to potentially alienate your GF to interupt fooling around for something like that. Back in my day, I wasn't leaving a willing woman without someone drawing a gun.

I love playing RDR2 right now. I much prefer the slow methodical pace of the game in general. I feel like I can pick it up and put it down at will, and allow myself to just chill out and let my mind wander for a couple hours. So many other games just try to cram the action into it, which is fun, but I do appreciate how this game just dialed it way back.

Thanks to Fortnite this thread can't even focus. Fortnite is ruining the planet.

 

[SlavinAway]

Just start Part 12 already.

 

[HisIceness]

What's this thread about again?

 

[MinJaBen]

Need to rename this the "What are you playing" thread.

 

[Stickpucker]

I just can't stand all the multiplayer games. Give me a single player game with some ****ing story please. When I heard Fallout 76 was going to no NPCs, my wallet closed like a trap.

Sadly I'm the opposite and don't care about story or I'd watch a series/read a book. Siderant: I think those are better story telling mediums than a game.

But I just suck soooo bad to play multiplayer these days.

Either hypothetical, or angry dad/husband.

 

[Breakdowns]

I am a bit younger than most of you here, and even I don't like or understand Fortnite, sue me

You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Very hypothetical.

I don't understand this.

The porter is pretty good, the coffee amber is well done, and it's hard to go wrong with a breakfast stout.

I saw Fortnight and DaveG, this is the "What are you drinking" thread right?

Well if you insist....

Contacting Larry H. Lawyer jr. now.

Roughly the same age that undrafted HoFer Martin St. Louis became an NHL regular. With the Lightning. Whatever voodoo they're running down there, I'd love to have a piece of it.

Gives me hope we'll be able to sign Ferland long term at 5 million-ish per. It's also the exact same term and AAV as Tom Wilson's new contract. Ferland is a late bloomer like Gourde (although Ferland is less productive so far) while he plays a similar, but more talented game than Wilson. I don't see how Ferland could possibly ask for more than either of these two unless he puts up 30 or 40 goals while continuing to play a physical game every night. Granted if we don't get him signed before free agency, who knows what another team is willing to throw at him.

Still waiting for our Yanni Gourde

 

[A Star is Burns]

Guys, we had Derek Ryan. The wait is already over. Goat.

Yup, same for me. Really wanted another story driven Fallout game, can't get into the online type thing. If they were going to do that, at least let Obsidian make New Vegas 2

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Been debating between Fallout 76, Red Dead II, and No Mans Sky. Not liking the reviews on Fallout yet though. Sounds like the game is trash.

I need to just replay New Vegas and align with all the different factions.

Sounds like there is only one clear choice.

 

[Canes]

I'm still playing the first Red Dead Redemption so at this rate I'll get to the new one in 2026 or so.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Sounds like there is only one clear choice.

IS that XBOX One X Enhanced?
