Zoogs--the emulation is signifigantly better with these than what was on the Wii Virtual Console (different company) and the output is upscaled to 1080p. And while it's great if you still have a SNES and games...chances are you can't save your progress unless you cracked the cartridge to replace the watch batteries.

Oh, wow. That's cool.

What do you mean by saving progress? Admittedly it's been years and years since I've tried.

Also, what in the world does an old 16-bit game look like in 1080p? Haha. I'm really curious about this.

Not sure what the holdup is in releasing these (and NES classic games) for the Switch

Good coach.  Better than any we've hired since TO by a damn sight.

I remember all the arguments for why his success doesn't count.  They we never very convincing.

Yeah, I was one of those too. Mark Richt is a class act. I would’ve loved to have had him as our coach. But I’m hopeful that like Richt going back to his alma mater, Scott will come home to his. 

Not club related (yet), but what grade did y'all start your girls playing Vball?

My daughter started playing rec ball at about 5yo. She was an early bloomer and pretty much dominated until about 13 or 14 when the other girls began to catch up.

My girls also started playing rec center ball really young. I dont remember what age..maybe 7?

CheeseHusker lays the boom down. What's Mack Brown's bowl record?

At least we don't pay our coach 5 million a year for 5, 8, and 9 wins...

Skers had no business winning that game. They (uga) were far far more talented.

I still think his Elvis impersonation is one of the best TV bits evar:

Andy rules!

If it was actually a joke he was supposed to come back 9 years ago...

Most likely early next year. I saw GRRM was writing one of the early episodes

I had friends also that said they were done. I just told them it can't get any worse for the Starks or any better for the Lannisters

No spoilers, please

Big Red standing by

Red? I understand he's a man who knows how to get things.

My bro went and saw him last year at the Lied and said it wasn't nearly as good as the old TV show.

Bowie and Peter Frampton attended the same high school in England. I didn't realize DB was ailing.

He made some great knives, too.

Ziggy Stardust is no more. Another musical icon from our youth silenced.

If you guys still have 14, I have rosters for this season. Check the Game forum. 

Best game ever on PS3.

@ZRod, I only mentioned XB1 since it actually has backwards compatibility with many 360 (and soon original XBox) titles and could actually be made compatible.

Problem is, it's purely EA's decision on this, and EA is being willfully obtuse on not making this game BC--it won't violate any of the terms of their legal agreement, as they're not selling the game, and EA still has the servers up (as CDog reminded us above). 

Goodness people!  I think the Riley era is done but this was a solid win.  It was not a we are back moment, but Purdue is not a bad football team.  Like knapplc said they have lost some close games, and with the way they are playing they can play with just about anyone.  

The problem isn't that Purdue may be a decent team this year--it's that we have to say that we got a last-second upset win. That means Purdue played us evenly, and that that they were favored to win--two things that shouldn't be happening, period. 

I think a bigger indictment of the state of the program is that our fan base can't enjoy a victory.  There is a difference between being critical and being negative.  With your mindset there was nothing the team could have done that would have left you with a positive attitude.  There are lots of reasons to want a new coach, but don't let a victory be one of them.

If you like original novelty-songs I suggest giving Wheeler Walker's youtube channel a try, he's a little more risqué than Weird Al but it's good stuff. 

His Twitter is a good follow as well

@Danimal thanks, I’ll check it out. 

Gordon! Gordon ! Gordon!

At this point I'm just happy their above .500 in a season

About to grab the sweep here.

We put our Christmas tree up on the 7th lol

Don't you think that would just move the starting point for Holiday shopping back?

I believe their thanks giving is their independence day.

She is my new favorite character.

She is great!!!

That actress has amazing delivery.

If you can have multiple TV's in your viewing station, then yes, the whole package is the way to go. Personally, I only want to watch the Cowboys and then all the redzone stuff. I just paid the 39 bucks a year for Red Zone which is now offered by Playstation Vue (TOTAL SCORE!)

Plus, if Cowboys are decent, 9+ Games are nationally broadcasted, so I don't have to worry about finding a place to watch them.

Know what's a lot cheaper? Reddit.

Denial would happen.

But Santa is, however.

I'd just explain to my kid that Santa is a doppler that changes his form and skin color to match what the child is most comfortable with.

They need to speed up their production schedule or wrap up the story. These kids won't be kids much longer.

^^They seem to be a going at a decent pace imo. I compare it to Harry Potter in that most of them ended up being several years older than the age they were supposed to be, but it still fit well.

is this series that good? I have the flu and looking to binge watch something.

BIG FAT ASIAN MOTHER?

OH, IS IT CAPS LOCK FRIDAY AGAIN?

AMAZINGLY, CAPS LOCK FRIDAY HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK

I'm probably going to wait and see what the PC reception is like before buying in. A YouTuber I follow pretty closely (LevelCap) said it has some odd issues right now including aim assist and/or some kind of shot registry issue, and aim assist is a really poor PC mechanic.

@Enhance I played the beta and not an issue at all.  Yes aim assist was there but it took 1 look in settings and disable no more worries.  I played with it on originally without even thinking about it and it was smooth either way.

@VectorVictor Not a fan of consoles myself so i stick with PC whenever possible.

It's a gambling simulator with guns.

+1 to ZRod.  I've ridden in both the XC90 (SUV) and S90 (comparable to the Audi A6) both vehicles are fantastic.  The fact they are incredibly safe is an added bonus.

Did not say it was a bad thing.. Volvo did get away from making "boxy" cars, just like DC went to having trailers.  I always wanted a Volvo. Tested the Audi Q7...went with another high end

True. They did keep the box grille and overall chunky shapes though. 

Invited everyone you knew

Well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me

And the card attached would say, "Thank you for being a friend"

My guess is row 3 on either side will be pretty obstructed by the players and people on the sidelines. But I will say you also don’t want to be on the sides, in the first level, further back than row 40. Those are under the overhang of the 2nd level and it’s sort of like looking out of a tunnel and you don’t get the feel of actually being in the stadium when you can’t see 90% of the crowd or the sky. Plus there are the columns to deal with. We were in section 1, row 44 and they weren’t great. I suppose they’d be okay in a downpour....

I was in row B once. Had to look between people's heads but it wasn't terrible, and row 3 would be better. I dunno how short your kids are, though.

@Moiraine we’re talking a five year old...so short. I’m thinking this seating would be good if they’re a bit older...but for now, probably not. 

Jack Stack at the plaza or Joe's KC

How are you getting here - air boat?

Q39 is my favorite just because they have the best burnt ends. Ribs, brisket, pulled pork are comparable between the big names (Q39, Joe's, Jack Stack, etc.).

@huKSer from Dallas, we're coming up Hwy. 75 and going north on it all the way to I-44, then I-44 east to I-49, then I-49 north to Kansas City. 

As for getting there...I'm driving a minivan and I've played Oregon Trail. I'm gonna caulk the van and float it down the river. Hopefully one of the kids doesn't get dysentery before then.

Like we have had 4 years of easy material, the passion is gone

I dunno. There's plenty of material that could be mined with the new staff. Hell, Mario Verduzco alone is worth 10-15 panels.

Imagine if he and Carl Pelini met...

Well that's what I mean.  A 4-8 season under Frost and he couldn't make that funny?

Hmmm, well I've heard of this happening at some other IT firms in town so it's not completely out of the blue.  I would have so many questions though.  If I were moving, I'd feel way more comfortable getting a offer from an actual company versus working for a staffing company.  Make sure you talk to some of the other IT folks they have doing this so you can get the straight scoop.  If they refuse to let you do that or worse yet, don't have anyone you can talk to, that would be a huge red flag for me.

@Xmas32 Good call, thanks.

You bet!  Good luck!
