Aegons conquest is so much more tailored to a series.


Unless they change the story a bit, I don't see how it works in either. There's not a ton of conflict involved. Dragons > humans. Now, if they did a series on the Targs trying to conquer Dorne multiple times, that could be interesting.

ESPN broadcasts TGL. NBC aired the PGA event today.

It went pretty poorly when the PGA Tour and the PIF met with Trump a while back. I would probably say resolving a conflict between two rival tours is easier than fixing college football.
I think the two twists of the advantage have been excellent. The boomerang idol is very interesting and will add intrigue later. I really hate how they are shoehorning celebrities into this. I know it was just Eilish this episode, but they had Zach Brown in the trailer.

Colby assuming there was no advantage makes me question if he has any chance to win this game. You have to start questioning why you left before the other person. It should be obvious. Maybe they just cut out him questioning the no advantage thing.

I still think about the soldier story where they are blaring Iron Maiden and mowing down zombies.

I watch the Masters, the Thursday and Friday of the US Open, and a majority of the Open. Not much in between. Even I know this is a shite idea.


You just described exactly why they are doing this. Most golf fans watch the majors. They are trying to do something to bring those viewers in more often.

I am a little disappointed. It is most likely due to them knocking it out of the park with the season 40 casting.

That's not snake bite guy. That is Jonathan from a few seasons ago that dominated every challenge.

Jim, I'm not sure what you are getting at. You won't be able to sign a contract with the PGA Tour to get into these big events. You will have to earn it. Then, it sounds like they are trying to get rid of sponsor exemptions that allow stars that don't belong (Bubba, Kaymer, Westwood) to be in the events on name only.

You’re trying to say guys are hitting it further than they used to


Yes. What is funny about that? All of the scoring records at these PGA Tour courses are being set in the last few years.
quote:


Money over Tradition will always destroy what you actually loved in the first place. Just give it time.


Technology is killing tradition in golf. Every year, more and more courses are not playable due to technology nullifying the course. Having said that, the traditional courses the fans know (Pebble, Riviera, Muirfield) are not going anywhere.

Becoming more like LIV?

only a matter of time until they’re playing music & wearing shorts at PGA Events


None of this sounds like LIV. If they can somehow make all the big tournaments merit based without sponsor exemptions, I would be impressed.

quote:

• The goal is a more merit-based setup: promote the hot performers, relegate the mediocre ones. Ditch stuff like protected status for veterans who can’t hack it anymore, tiny fields with no cuts, and sponsor exemptions into the big-money weeks. Make it easier for young/new talent to climb up.
The trailer was ok for me, then Johnny Cage says "It's show time", the classic music drops in, and I was sold.

As for the OP. I think you meant divided into 3 tribes of 8. My biggest head scratcher was bringing back the neurotic girl on the Cila tribe that had so much trouble socially to start.

Is it too much to ask for a remake of Ocarina of Time with a BOTW sized world to explore?


But why? Hyrule Field was already a ton of empty space on 64. I know people hate on degrading weapons in BOTW and TOTK, but it encouraged exploration. If most of the weapons are in dungeons, there won't be a big reason to go exploring.

Having said that, I would love to see the next game go back to the classic style of linear dungeons. I am curious what they would do to make it feel expansive.

Clown league. Can the rules of football just stay the same for a while?


I disagree. This is what the UFL should be doing. Throw shite at the wall and see what sticks.

College Station is a great college town.


Agreed. I was raised an LSU fan and have two degrees from there. I'd still much rather my kids go to aTm than LSU.
Are you asking what is the minimum 18 hole par for something to be considered a full golf course?

ETA: Just saw this bot's odd question on wetness on the OT. I regret asking my question.

Minish Cap is a lot of fun. I think it is one of the more underrated Zeldas.

Do you really believe this? Most pro golfers put in work in the weight room these days, and you think the average MLBer isn't putting in that much work?
I just googled and it seems like he's not doing well and isn't really in the movie. That's a shame.
