I assumed it was probably a midway point, but at the same time she literally had a 1000 different places to run, she chose that building and he just magically showed up there too. I also yelled at the TV when she didn't steal his truck, but I guess maybe she ran out a different door and didn't want to double back (though she knew he was preoccupied with a horde of zombies).

He sounds like the kind of guy that needs to be the next President - someone who doesn't care for the pomp and circumstance of the position and has done away with a lot of the "traditional" crap other Popes have continued on. In other words, a breath of fresh air. We'll see if it lasts.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 06:03 PM) So, I've become addicted to Jurassic Park Builder for iPad. I've been playing that and the Simpsons Tap Out game. Both pretty good. So because of the launch screw up with Simcity, EA is giving me a free game. Anyone have any thoughts on Mass Effect 3 or Battlefield 3? I've only played one of the Battlefield games and that was like 4 years ago with Battlefield 1943. I'm leaning towards Mass Effect 3.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 19, 2013 -> 08:54 AM) I am very surprised Milton is still alive. The Governor has killed people for less. I'm sure Milton will "flip" and end up being the one that saves Andrea and/or kills the Governor. This show doesn't do nuance very well and they've been setting up that betrayal for a while. I have to admit, it's been a good few episodes for The Walking Dead. Amazing what can happen when you focus on a few characters and have them do things instead of making sure all 12 cast members can explain what they're feeling for an hour. Though I gotta complain a little - it was really dumb that e (1) Andrea would have ran through an open field, (2) the governor magically knew she was going to an abandoned building and would be inside. Made for good TV though. Other TV thoughts: How I Met Your Mother. Oh my. It's got to be one of the worst shows on TV at this point. I haven't watched for a couple of seasons now and I decided to stay in the room while my wife watched the episode last night. Not a single funny bit. Barney is the absolute worst. It was cringe-worthy. When did the show jump the shark and become totally unbelievable/unrealistic? I mean, it's one thing to have Barney act like he can bang any chick he wants, but all the gadgets in his apartment? Really?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 04:20 PM) And just to be fair to Steve, why wasnt Felix hating on Cowley for doing the same thing: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/18904555-41...vs-nuggets.html Contrary to rumor, Derrick Rose not playing Monday vs. Nuggets Headline and the report are conflicting: So the headline says, definitely not playing. But the info says "re-evaluated". Now cowley, unlike steve, is writing for a national newspaper and being paid a large sum. You would think that someone like Felix who cares about journalistic integrity, would be far more upset about a major media news outlet using sensationalism, than a fan based blog. Even today's article Cowley flat out misleads the reader: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/basketball/...status-quo.html Thibs said "unlikely" that means there is a chance. A true reporter, would say that there is a chance Derrick Rose would play, and there is possibly some truth to the rumors. But we are talking about journalism, where sensationalism sells and facts are thrown away. So before you crucify Steve, ask yourself has he done something that is worse than people who are actually being paid to tell you good information? The answer is no. This thread has gotten weird.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) This isn't the first and it won't be the last time I make myself out to be an ass, but it is interesting that a tweet to 300 followers grew so exponentially. I'm still not getting a good read from you here. Are you admitting to this being a total fabrication just to get hits? Or was this a "I have a guy that knows a guy and instead of actually knowing for sure I decided to post it and it was probably a mistake?"

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 09:35 AM) We are ruled by the stupidest f***ing people on the planet. And yet you want to give those people more responsibility and more of our money...

Rose is coming back today, just like Brad Stevens was on a flight to C-U, just like AJ was going to be busted for cheating, just like Lebron was coming to Chicago just like....... Meh. The lesson, as always, is don't believe anything on the internet.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 09:06 AM) So what did you think about the information on where the guns are coming from in Part II? Didn't really change my opinion. They said the majority of guns are still bought illegally, and the ease of obtaining a gun isn't surprising. Again, it all comes down to changing the culture. Break these kids up, make it so that they don't have to join a gang out of fear, and the need for the weapons (and violence generally) will go away. But as it is the situation is just a cycle - little kids get indoctrinated into it and when they get "older" they do the same thing to the next generation.

QUOTE (CarlosMartinez @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 09:13 AM) Damn, that sucks. I had this happen about a year ago. There are plenty of videos on YouTube about how to fix it yourself if you are into DIY stuff. I debated fixing it or sending it back to Sony but ended up buying a slim with a bigger harddrive then what I had previously. You'll have to take it apart to get your game out and will need a hex wrench for that. Good luck. That's not true. There's a little pin hole on the front of the drive (you still have to take the ps3 cover apart to get to it) that you push with a paper clip or needle and the game will come out. As to fixing the "yellow light of death," I wasted about 2 weeks of my life trying to fix mine. You can try the hair dryer fix, you can try adding thermal paste and using a heat gun, but I didn't have any luck. Others have, but it's a temporary thing. I've been without a ps3 for about 6 months. I'm really considering buying the GoW bundle. But 350 bucks seems like a lot to drop with the ps4 coming around the corner.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 08:23 AM) Republican Sen. Rob Portman now supports marriage equality after his son came out. Mark Schmitt has some comments on what he calls "Miss America Compassion" that we seem to regularly get from conservatives: They never seem to care about or understand an issue until it directly and personally affects them, and even then, the new-found compassion remains limited to that one specific thing. I think it's the mentalitity that our bleeding hearts don't match with our bleeding wallets. You can't pay for/support everything.

Who's a NW fan here? Zoom? Didn't Carmody sign their best recruit ever and he's made it known that he'll leave if Carmody leaves?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) Fine. Sucks is too strong of a word but we are looking at a bubble team at best with the current roster and recruits. You add a really good 5th year transfer and Desmond Lee is really good than maybe it is different but otherwise you need Henry, Egwu and Abrams to make massive jumps to make the tourney. Rice is a PG right? That should help Abrams, who can dribble the ball but can't set anyone up. Egwu needs to be more consistent and stay out of foul trouble. He didn't show much growth this year. Henry is probably the most improved, especially the last month. I was surprised he didn't get more playing time today, but I didn't get to watch the whole game so maybe there was a good reason. IMO he's the key for next year. If he can make a jump defensively and be more confident on the offensive end they're a tourney team. If not, Illinois will be terrible next year.

w00t! Taking off tomorrow isn't a mistake after all. Still pretty sad that it takes a last second shot to beat a team that committed 19 or 20 turnovers.

God Abrams is terrible as a guard. So many dumb decisions.

Ugh. Tie ball game. So terrible.

9 pt lead at half, with the game at 10-7 MINN nearly 10 minutes in. I'll take it. Tomorrow is going to be brutal for either one of these teams.

Nice of Illinois to get off to a good start.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 10:29 AM) Anyone know if these games are streaming online somewhere? Thanks. BTN2Go. Links are on the btn site. If you have a major cable provider, just log in with that info.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 10:55 AM) Look in the BTT thread, bruh. Ah hell. Forgot about that.

Except for the part where he questions Crean. NEVER QUESTION THE ABILITY OF COACH JESUS CREAN. What's everyone's prediction for the tourney? Mine is Illinois gets beat by Minn, Indiana loses to Michigan and Michigan State loses to Michigan in the final. Burke is the MVP.
