@videogamedeals Lord of the Rings the Third Age, which was just "what if LotR but Final Fantasy X"

@DaddyDimmuTv Freeman is going to be like McGriff, not getting one of the big round numbers because of things out of his control- Covid year and lockout.

Luckily for him, I still think he's a 1st ballot HoF guy, but 3000 would be such a big deal in this era.

@ThatSportsGamer Is BJ still the biggest ever FA contract they've given?

[Chris @upgdot]

@ThatSportsGamer Huddy absolutely gave the hometown discount though. That wasn't throwing around market size, it was finding a guy who would rather be there and letting it happen.

[Chris @upgdot]

@ThatSportsGamer Oh, I always forget about Derek Lowe. Blessedly.

@jlaneatl In my head, the Hawks roster went from Mutumbo, Laetner, Mookie, Steve Smith and crew, straight to the Joshs and Joe Johnson. I have 0 memory of high school era Hawks.

[Chris @upgdot]

I enjoy both, but CFB turns into much more of an RPG experience and a freshness to the gameplay loop, where Madden has had a sense of sameness for almost 20 years.

As a viewer,

Do you like to watch college dynasty football series, or do you like to watch Madden Franchise more (on YouTube)

[Chris @upgdot]

@DFWDBZ @Wario64 Almost always just licensing. Im sure with the HoF accolades, they couldn't find a price to renew their rights.

@inky369 I'd imagined him as a 20 year Brave. I have to agree with Bowman at this point though

[Chris @upgdot]

@KevinKeneely1 Not quite McCann's game winner against the Phillies a few years ago. But, it was a fun game for the 2025 Braves finally.

[Chris @upgdot]

@scottcoleman55 He was a great week long story. Time for him go the way of Preston Tucker.

@gvedak How most of us feel this year...

[Chris @upgdot]

@BravesStats Unless they suddenly go on a 8-2 run (doubt), anyone over 33 or so should at least be shopped.

[Chris @upgdot]

@dren_braves @SawyerEFB @Dananas101 He could "decide to spend more time with his grandchildren," but he seems way too proud to leave mid-year, i agree.

[Chris @upgdot]

Like... the point of Giant Bomb is the personalities. I don't give a crap about a brand name.

If you buy the brand and run off the personalities, you've wasted your money. Investor/owners are, universally, idiots.

[Giant Bomb @giantbomb]

We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience — we're actively exploring creative directions for the future of GB and look forward to sharing more with you soon.

@dren_braves Julio is the new Jair Jurrjens, where I'm constantly shocked that he's not 45 and too old to play baseball yet.

[Chris @upgdot]

@DanGheesling I think it's better in most every way than Skyrim as an RPG. It's just old and janky. If this remake/remaster updates it at all other than visuals, I think it's an easy recommend.

[Chris @upgdot]

@MillsTwitch It's always been my favorite ES game, I really hope it does, and is well done!

[Chris @upgdot]

@PUREFILTH6669 Oblivion is, by a lot, my favorite game in the series. But I have 0 issues with a giant company spending resources to make it more accessible and likely to be fondly remembered by new audiences. This isn't a 5 man team not doing other things.
