**2016 Video Game Thread**
QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) So has anyone here bought (or attempted to buy) the NES classic yet? It looks like that is the big rage for Christmas this year and pretty much all the stores are sold out of it. I still have a couple of actual working NES systems from the 80's/90's and all of my old games so I'm not all that interested in it. I already have half the games that come pre-installed on it and the few I don't have never interested me that much anyway. The only thing that really intrigues me is the ability to save any game at any point. That would've been nice 25 years ago. I traded my kids 3DS in for a newer 2DS last saturday, and the gamestop employee told me that they had 20 NES Classics before they opened the store. as he walked in there was a line down the walkway, and they sold all of them in 20 minutes. While I was waiting there for the data transfer(about an hour and a half), 5 people came in asking for one.

President-Elect Donald Trump: The Thread
I found it interesting that Sessions later became part of the same Judiciary committee that rejected his judgeship earlier in his career. That is....strange You cant be a judge because we think you are kinda racist. BUT, you can help us choose who can be a judge

Reddick signs with Astros
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) Nope. I advocated trading Eaton last winter to fill 2 holes. That's still a possible approach. I've never favored the Hahn proven veteran approach, however. So if the choice is Hahn ball or tear down I would favor complete tear down, because Hahn ball is a failure. please. which way is the wind blowing today Superior GM? (here comes the response when he calls me and everyone else hahn supporters and blah blah hero worshipping)

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 07:26 AM) It uses cartridges, so the answer is going to be a no. And that is highly disappointing. I have made an investment in WiiU just like I did the Wii, and I liked that i could play Wii games as well(just like I enjoyed being able to play GameCube games on the Wii). Hopefully there is some sort of remedy that doesnt involve me purchasing the same games again

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) Ha. Nintendo release schedules. Ha. Fool me once... Ha, can't argue that. There has been a lot of talk that Nintendo is really trying to get this launch right, because of how botched WiiU was. If they manage launching with 75% of those titles, I will be pretty happy. If they launch with all of them I will be stunned. Interested in the specs given the rumored price point

Braves among teams showing interest in chris sale
QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 09:26 AM) He ended the year on a hot streak, but he was hitting terribly around the all-star break (which is why you might think he can't hit). Turned it on after the break and had a pretty good year overall. His defense keeps his value afloat no matter what though. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...p;year=&t=b May was his bad month. Everything else, he was decent to pretty good

I started listening to a few different podcasts recently, and listened to the Joe Rogan experience yesterday, and his guests are Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson. Anyone interested in ancient civilizations, comet impacts, egypt, extinction events, you need to listen to this podcast. It is absolutely fascinating

Pros and cons of trading Sale and Q this offseason
QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 07:43 AM) Judging by what I've been reading everywhere it looks like Sale is going to be moved for prospects. Unproven prospects. Would anybody be surprised to see that most of those prospects turn out to be a bust? Remember the infamous White Flag trade when the key to the trade was Mike Caruso? KW said that Caruso was a grinder type of player who White Sox fans would come to love. Caruso was a grinder but he had one major flaw, he couldn't play shortstop. Every ball hit to him was an adventure. After 2 seasons he was gone and he was never seen again in MLB. Trading Sale and Quintana could turn out to be the biggest PR disaster since the White Flag Trade. I'm really worried that we're in some real dark years on the South Side of Chicago. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. Remember when the other parts of that trade helped the Sox win the division in 2000? Caruso wasnt the only player in that trade that made the majors, Howry and Foulke had pretty good careers and both of them were key parts of the 2000 team. Look, i understand people are worried about a rebuild. It is risky and there are no guarantees. But insinuating that the Sox shouldnt go down that path because of a trade that happened almost 20 years ago is ridiculous.

Rumor: Dodgers & Sox discussing Sale & Frazier
QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 07:38 AM) I understand dude. Hypothetically you and I want their starting outfield plus Moncada and Devers..........................................and the people in hell want ice water. My point was he didn't put out a realistic trade. Didnt really seem like your point at all. Seemed like your point was to call his source dumb, and now you are backtracking it to what you feel is realistic

Rumor: Dodgers & Sox discussing Sale & Frazier
QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) I would say he is a lousy source. There is no way Boston would trade JBJ and Benintendi in any trade. That would leave them with 2 starting outfield vacancies. These people are just throwing stuff out and hoping something sticks. That wasn't a source rumor, that was Callis being asked what he would want from Boston for Sale

**2016 TV Watercooler Thread**
QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) I mean that's a possibility I suppose, but that leaves us going through a season or more of a storyline that just gets wiped away with a reset button. That's just poor story telling if that's where they're going with it. Not really, I think what this season is establishing is that these bots have a memory that cannot be wiped away cleanly and completely, and they are starting to remember previous lives(which is confusing their creators). I also think Ford is responsible for this, i just dont know his motive for it(yet)

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) The only problem with the Young William/Old William scenario is that we would have to believe that at the end of the Young William/Dolores adventure, she basically gives up on her new found freedom and reverts back to being a dumb host as she is portrayed in Episode 1 with Old William. I like the idea of a "real" Bernard though. Gives up? I would think she would have been reprogrammed, i dont think it would be voluntary

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 02:49 PM) What is going on with Howard. Did he have an achilles injury or doesn't he? after the game he said nothing is wrong with him, he is fine. I have no idea why Fox spreads misinformation like that, if that ends up being true. That is way outside of misdirecting the next opponent

Will Brett Lawrie be Non-Tendered?
QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) Hmmm. Not really any disparaging comments towards the Sox, but interesting nonetheless. He said "they put me in orthotics", seems like he is blaming the sox for his injuries. You can blame the Sox for a lot of things, but bad medical decisions arent normally one of them
