Apathy

starts what?   starts to die another horrible death?  starts to climb out of this hole they are in?   

Starts to climb out of the hole, gonna suck though.  Even if we do better next year its going to take a couple years to climb completely out.

If you have the space, I say go for it. I would if I did. Sounds like you have the potential for a good, dark viewing set up. Like I said, I think intent is the biggest thing here.

The Ultra Blacks by Epson are pretty good. My friend has one in his basement.

What @Enhance said. Projectors are only worth considering these days if you're going to build an actual home theater with no windows or anything, and you're going for a seriously massive screen size. Even then, it's kinda 'TV if you can, projector if you must'.

Next debate: OLED vs quantum dot LED TVs (Samsung QLED, Vizio P-series, etc.). Personally, I'm still not a fan of OLED TVs because while they look amazing when they're new, they get dimmer with time and are prone to burn-in.

Isn't a projecter not as sharp picture wise when compared to say a 4k tv?  We just got one of those Qled Samsung 65 in. 4k's for Christmas.  Love it.

And walleyes!!! We killing it on bigstone! 

A sad ending for a young man with his priorities in place. May he never be forgotten.

Not that it really matters, but he was born on Nov 6. Either way, guy was a true patriot. Not sure why people made such a big deal out of friendly fire thing, except to try and expose govt cover up, but no matter enemy or friendly fire, guy was epitome of a true patriot and hero.

Good catch @C N Red. I didn’t pay any attention to the date of when the tweet was made by the NFL, just figured it was tweeted on Friday. 

I wouldn't blame Iowa fans for thinking they'll beat us with how crappy we've looked for several years now. We all know a new Sheriff is in town and that's not going to be the case moving forward, but we need to prove it to everyone out there now. 

Iowa will be solid this year.  The OL will be fine and they havent needed to pass at all to beat us the last few times.  I think this year will be a good game, but as Frost builds his team I think the meetings will get a little more 1 sided in our advantage.  GBR!!!

We're going to beat Iowa like a rented mule.

beating your kid at checkers isn't worthy of a status update.

As fauxPelini says "NCAA screwed up on what teams got into the tourney - half of them lost already"

Lots of great games yesterday and sure enough after I posted my status ISU loses an hour later which sucked. Nebraska baseball opened up a conference play with a series win

@Dewiz I wear my light grey pair with Husker red all the time. If it looks goofy, no one's called me out yet 

I wear gray shorts with my Husker shirts all the time, too.  I don't know why it would be goofy.  Better than wearing jorts.

Thanks for the replies back

My room size is 30’x16’ w/ 8’ ceilings. Have dual SVS PB-2000 that are not cutting it. It’s shakes but don’t get that thump in my chest. Looking at Rythmik FV25HP, JTR Cap 2400ULF or PSA V3612. Any other suggestions I’m open too. Looking for that “HOLY SH#T” factor

@ZRod but that's it's nickname...Subwoofer.

@Dewiz Hmm, I couldn't really help ya there. I always start from raw drivers, like show me the T/S params and I'll tell ya which one to get.

Based on everything I've read since yesterday, the trailer seems to be a cracked out, somewhat misleading representation of how the game is actually going to be. I don't know if it was a stylistic decision or what but that trailer was... a little scary in terms of what I'm hoping this Battlefield will be. But, I don't think it's going to ultimately play out like that trailer suggested.

As for the battle royale mode, I too agree they'd be wise to include that mode. Those games aren't really my thing but they're incredibly popular and I could see a BR game mode bringing in a lot of players. It'd certainly be more impactful than some of the (somewhat uninteresting) game modes they tried to implement later in the BF1 timeline.

Things I liked:

• Character animations of running through windows and rolling, sliding forward, backwards and sideways. When he kills two enemy’s with a pistol and the way they roll forward looks pretty realistic
• The way buildings get demolished and the way grenades exploded inside or outside the building that effect the structure of the building
• Dragging teammates to safety to revive them
• The new melee kill from behind looks badass
• Sound and graphics are top notch no surprise there
• I like the vegetation that you can add to the guns
• Throwing back grenades. Building sandbags, rebuilding a demolished structure
• No season pass and loot crates/boxes
• Rag doll 
• Large non-fatal explosions knocking you down. Super badass
• Bullet penetration 

Things I don’t like or skeptical about:

• Customization. Hopefully it’s not overblown. The face painting looks dumb and reminds me of Braveheart
• The trailer did really show anything that resembled WWII besides the weapons and vehicles. 
• The prosthetic arm is just weird lol
• Need to see actual gameplay. What was shown on the trailer was underwhelming. Didn’t make me want to preorder the game at all
• The new health bar, less ammo and getting ammo from designed locations 
•  

Sounds like BF is getting back to it's roots with realistic sandbox team play. Funny how a lot of the "new" dynamics have been in other games for 15 years, but are just now finding their way back in. Ragdolls, grenade throwback, and bullet penetration have been something I've sorely missed in BF games.

If it's a Dice game last, then don't worry. It will be another great game, they always have a solid product.

Sure showed those no talent hacks, huh?

They farted in their general direction! 

I cannot roll my eyes hard enough at this. 

That’s fine. You do you and I’ll do me

He was our best look out blocker.  ("LOOK OUT!!!")

Hopefully his team doesn't play the eagles.  I think he is still getting out of his stance against Barnett.  

@swmohusker - lol.  they only play the Giants twice a year.

Damn blow 

He was a great comedian, I remember watching one of the last Sandler movies he was in,name slips me coz Sandlers movies are lame ,but anyway he looked like s#!t and was thinking he wont last long the way hes going 

Loved Farley. Here’s my favorite...

Haha touché 

@Pedro Guerrero but he was arrested.

Mayweather drain bamaged him.

@man eating mastodonMaybe that is the upside to having crappy vision; I don't have to pay more than a few dollars for sunglasses 

Holy crap...batman.  I had never heard of Costa Sunglasses so I went and looked.  I'll stick with my $15 pair.  I now know they got their name because the Costa mucho.

I've been wearing Oakleys since the mid-90s. I've tried other brands but I always return to Oakley. Of the two you mentioned, I prefer Maui Jim.

I think every time that guy started it, we hit a three

Maybe we should hire some people who go to every game and chant, “Go Hawks”.

Heard this the other day on the Elvis Duran show and meant to post it then. I’m ok with either answer

One hole.  Two openings.  A hole in the ground has one opening.  lulz

@Moiraine Must be a different story

 http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/05/07/injured-bear-fatally-mauls-man-who-attempted-to-take-selfie-with-it.html  I think the only way to help someone being mauled by a bear would be to injure the bear.  I could probably save my friend but that's not fair to the bear who is just being a bear, so I'd test Darwin's theory.  Besides, people survive bear attacks.  

I prefer to watch bears from a distance without disturbing them https://explore.org/livecams/bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls.  I spent a workday watching them catch salmon and decided that it's not easy being a bear.

@4skers89 it's the same story. I don't remember which place I read that they were treating the bear, but I'm guessing the one I saw was wrong.

I was talking about Knap's bear story post in the Misc Topic BS thread:  LINK

What kind of speakers did you get?

Power Sound Audio MTM-210 center channel with two MTM-210 towers and a TV3612 dual 18” subwoofer that’s tuned at 14hz with in room extension down to 9hz

They're probably average in terms of cheating.

I didn't have an issue with Belichick for the taping "scandal."  Bill Cowher stated back in 2014 that pretty much everyone does it, the only difference is the Belichick got caught.  As for the PEDs, you don't get as jacked as these guys can get without them.

I get so tired of the "Patriots are cheaters" BS. That organization is just that much better than everyone else. One pro-bowler on that defense and they absolutely shutdown one of the best offenses in the league.

Check team ppg over the years.... It's virtually the same..... I hate the "in my day" argument in pro sports. 

Dewiz, he's in his 15th year.... How good was MJ on D in his 15th year? He was a shell of himself by then.For many years, LeBron was one of the best defenders in the league, and may be the most versatile defender ever (Could guard 1 thru 5 with ease).

Well, in my day.....

Seriously though, I used to love the NBA and about the time of Rodman (mid 90's?) I lost all interest. It really was more of a culture thing than anything. I don't mean to say it was better back in the day but it was for me. I just don't care for it any longer.

Oh, the game has definitely changed. It's a guard dominated league now, so much so that even your "big men" have guard skills.

It's a shame you quit watching it, you're missing true greatness (LeBron), and probably the best team ever assembled (Golden State).
