New overtime rules are awful. Great article attached
Metal Man replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think this is the way it works. If the team that wins the toss doesn't score at all the game becomes sudden death. The only real difference from the old rule is that if the team who wins the toss kicks a field goal the other team gets one possession to try and beat or match it. -
Also I would add to this list that some of the newer games require you install one of the disks to your hard drive to be able to play and those take up a lot of memory. GTA 5 does this as well as the online version of Halo 4 as an example.

I will throw Tulane fans in there seeing it was the same stadium. Went down there two years ago to see Syracuse play Tulane in the Superdome and agree with everything everyone has said about how welcoming their fans and business owners were to all of us in our Orange gear. The stadium itself it also pretty amazing. Definitely one of the best football viewing experiences I have ever had.

Congrats. We were parked right across from you guys. Looked like it was a good time over there.

Annoying Announcers and My Thoughts
Metal Man replied to voodoo poonani's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Do you do anything special to get it to sync up? I would love to listen to the buffalo radio call for every game but the timing is always a little off. I must have said the exact same thing about 100 times during the game. My gf started to laugh at me because even when he was saying something good about the Bills I couldn't help but be annoyed by him. -
I was thinking it could have been that the last email she sent with attachments was the nudes to her bf and then when the box came up for attachments it already had the picture folder populated and she just hit OK without thinking. But still she had to have been half asleep during this process.

2013 Bills and Defensive Takeaways
Metal Man replied to Luis Mendoza's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If you haven't been able to see the difference in the way this team is playing compared to the Bills teams of recent history then you haven't been paying very close attention. -
What a disappointment to come to this thread and see it is NOT about these guys: http://youtu.be/G5uamDMoW4o

That was a little disappointing. I was expecting to see some of the photos he took so that we could at least fairly judge the severity of his crimes.

Hard not to agree with this. The museum part is cool to visit and walk through if you are a big music fan but the inductions are definitely a bunch of music industry generated BS. Not the most decipherable version of English but I love this letter the Sex Pistols sent to them in response to an induction.

Expressions That Are Not Memes, But Need to Die Anyway
Metal Man replied to Rob's House's topic in Off the Wall Archives
http://youtu.be/QH2-TGUlwu4 I'm surprised this 100 million+ viewed monster hasn't made an appearance in this thread yet. Can't have memes without it. -
I don't think it should be underestimated how good of a team Cincinnati has right now. They seem solid in every position. With the exception of Denver I am having a hard time naming a team in the AFC that I am certain is better than them. KC? Reid has them playing pretty solid football right now but I still need to see them beat someone better than Dallas or Philly. New England? Somehow they keep putting together wins when it seems they should lose, plus Cincy beat them head to head. Indy? Maybe, they are playing well too and have better QB play. In any case Cincy has to be one of the best few teams in the AFC right now and a beat all to hell Bills team still could have won the game. I'm disappointed for sure but this 2-4 doesn't feel the same as the dead in the water 2-4 teams of years past.

This is another good point. My grandmother had season tickets for over 40 years and during that time missed maybe 1 or 2 games. Then the last 6 or 7 years of her life when she couldn't go anymore she was punished by not being able to watch the team she loved despite being a taxpayer and not to mention directly supporting the team financially for years. It is easy for us somewhat younger folk to say "if you want to see the game go buy an f'ing ticket" right now, but I suspect when the bulk of us hit our 70s and 80s we will be singing a different tune.

True. When I still lived in the area I would say about a third of the times the game didn't sell out, and I didn't already have a ticket, the threat of black out brought me to the game. But this weekend it was the availability of a good deal on a ticket, and a group I know already driving out thus making the 2+ hour drive a lot more manageable, that prompted me to attend. If it wasn't for that I would be watching a crappy internet feed like the rest of the Bills fans out in the Syracuse area or farther who didn't want to make the drive.

The 75 mile radius is correct but there is a lot more to it. Any tv station that can reach into the 75 mile radius also can't broadcast and in the mid 90s it was determined Syracuse can reach a small section of east Rochester so now anyone using the Syracuse cbs affiliate is blacked out and this rule affects viewers as far out as Rome and Utica and even a little more east than that. Hence my 200 mile statement. (If you aren't sure this is accurate, search the boards as there are quite a few threads mentioning it whenever the black out is debated) Not looking to really argue the point because it has been done to death on the boards, just saying not everyone fits into the situation exactly as you described.

Grand Theft Auto IV Sold 13 Million Units...
Metal Man replied to ajzepp's topic in Off the Wall Archives
It would be nice if they could pack a world with hundreds like world of warcraft but seems like the console world is still limited in technology when it comes to capacity of online gaming. I believe the gta instances are capped at 16. I agree the missions can use some more depth right now. Rockstar claims to have continuous updates coming so hopefully that can get better in the future. I think I have around 80k right now. Had a long marathon with some friends this past Friday-Saturday that helped a lot. For my friend who is way over half a million, he was off on Monday and found some BS mission that payed 9k and took about 3 minutes to complete. Him and some other guys replayed it all day and milked some crazy money out of it. I guess just today they changed that mission to only be 3k since so many people were doing that so we missed the boat on that deal. -
I'll be at the game this week but that being said this statement doesn't apply as widely as you make it seem to. There are people who live 150 - 200 miles away who are affected by the antiquated NFL black out rules. I'm pretty sure they still have at least a little bit of a right to complain.

Grand Theft Auto IV Sold 13 Million Units...
Metal Man replied to ajzepp's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I don't think you can rent any. Cheapest I've found is 300k but I haven't tried looking at the online real estate site from your phone. I guess that is the way to shop. Don't bother buying one of the cheaper garages. One of my friends was able to buy a high rise already for 400k and it came with a ten car garage. -
My friend from work and his father will be on the field for the Bengals game this weekend. I'm pretty sure this was an incentive included with the club level season tickets he purchased. As part of that he was allowed to choose one game to have pre-game field access and this is the one they chose. I'm not exactly sure which club level he bought the tickets for but I imagine google could help.

Message from the NFL Commissioner
Metal Man replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was an email, evidently sent out to many people. (and here I thought I was on the commish's Christmas card list) -
I just started and finished watching Breaking Bad
Metal Man replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I think the idea was that IF everything after Walt in the car was kind of his imagination and fantasy about how things play out then it wouldn't make sense that he could imagine Jessie with the box seeing he didn't know about it. I don't hate the Norm McDonald theory but everything about Jessie kind of shoots it down. Especially that Jessie was a slave to the AB guys. -
I just started and finished watching Breaking Bad
Metal Man replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
IIRC that scene showed some romantic involvement between Walt and Gretchen. I always assumed the Grey Matter falling out involved a love triangle there with Elliot. The question is who betrayed who? I have always thought Gretchen was with Eliot first because in my mind it made more sense in that scenario that Walt would walk away and take the buyout because of guilt. If it was the other way around, Eliot stole Gretchen from Walt and somehow forced him out, well then he was much too kind to him in the end.
