Stranger Things successfully landed the plane. More so than the spectacle, what made it great was how they concluded the arcs on the characters. While it won't go down among the greatest series finales of all time, it was exponentially more enjoyable than Game of Thrones or Lost.
This is Aiden. Today he got to open some Christmas Presents, including a big one: a Switch 2 - bought, paid for, and gifted by my YouTube community. He’s in shock and it produced his first smile since coming back to us.
He’s wanted us to share a few words with you all:
“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe they did that for me. That’s $500! That’s a lot of money dad! Why were they so kind to me? Tell them thank you. Take a photo and tell them thank you right now!”
So here we are. A kid that came back from the brink. Shocked, surprised, and happy over a Christmas present like any normal kid. Keep fighting kiddo.
You’ll be home soon enough! Now he’s like “I really want DK Banaza dad!”
We’ll see what we can do about this maybe as a surprise for another day.
@mrpyo1@EddieSykes_ I'm not generally a fan of Telltale style games but this makes a case for personal GOTY for me. The light strategy and RPG elements were a brilliant addition to gamify the genre. Story and characters are some of the best the past few years.
@godfree The best time travel story since the OG Back to the Future! One of the best shows on streaming the past few years! Smart, intense, and atmospheric! A must watch for all nerds!
@Charlottean28@MarcRyanOnAir Everything this team does starts and ends with the offensive line. They went from top 3 offensive line the past two years to one of the worst following injuries. How soon they get back into contention will depend on how long it takes to rebuild a formidable OL.
@KuKhahil I don't think people have picked up on how his presence helps others on defense, especially Duren. Like even when teams try to run action away from Ausar, it reduces ball movement and increases their predictability. Then when they attack him, they're less efficient.
@Charlottean28@KuKhahil I thought Ausar was attacking those gaps off of traps before his injury. He's not the same player since coming back and it's making it easy to blitz Cade.
@the_det_times Michigan either needs to adjust their scheme and philosophy to fit their top talent or stick to talent that fits their philosophy. They maximize his weaknesses and minimize his strengths with the scheme. Something has to give next year.
@AtoZ_Payton Was his Mom or his agent responsible for his PFF score? Because outside of those 2, I don't think anyone with good eyes could watch that game and say he was the 2nd best defensive player.
@msupeach Hutch has been a mediocre defensive end since the contract. Even when they don't double him, he's not getting great pressure. His first step is not as explosive as last year...and over the past few weeks, the motor that carried him early this season isn't there.
@klobrille There have been consistent deals for Game Pass Ultimate that average under $20 a month if you buy 6 or 12 months at a time. No reason for anyone to pay the stated Retail price...yet. I have a suspicion that they did this intentionally to get people to pay in advance.
@Qwik When they hand off their console base to SteamOS, how do you recoup the lost Game Pass revenue? What about their partners like Epic who still have a lot of players on Xbox/Windows? Handing off their console base creates more problems than solutions.
@clarkcashes In 2000, you could hand-check, contest jump shooters closely without allowing landing zones, play physically off-ball, and if you didn't draw blood, it was just a normal foul. It's silly to compare stats from these eras. NBA stats have incurred high levels of inflation since.
@HazzadorGamin It shows that what us long time enthusiasts consider success and what the top of the house/investors consider success don't match. This isn't necessarily a good thing for some fans....but it's reality. Long time fans of the brand aren't the only ones voting with their wallets.
@K__Med@nib95_ When you look at the details, it says more about traditional Xbox consoles than GP. If you stay, you will pay. PC GP is still compelling. They are trying to push their hardcore users to Windows Gaming. Soon we'll see that Cloud is how they'll reach out to casuals, not hardware.
@MorePerfectUS ...and yet the bottom 50% spend much of their free time playing the game Culture Wars with each other
...which is a game created by the top 1%
...who are also the winners of Culture Wars
...as long as the bottom 50% keep playing.
