And I just got back from a last-minute lunch with some friends. Was dying to see if the early game would surprise me. As of 10:09 to go in the third quarter…
I've actually spent the last few hours trying to do my X-Files rewatch before the new eps start on 1/23. I'm only on Season 3. I think I'm going to need to start skipping more.
List of candidates currently running better against Clinton than Bush is
Ben Carson
Ted Cruz
John Kasich
Marco Rubio
Donald Trump
This person's done a good job of keeping facts out!
From his/her Disqus history in some other thread:
"I absolutely mean Jeb Bush. He is our brightest star in a generation."
2016 is going to be an unprecedented year for superlatives. Probably the greatest year ever.
Hardly surprising, since this cycle the GOP, the greatest political party in the history of the country, has the most exemplary roster of candidates to choose from ever.
Eloquently put. You have excelled even yourself in perspicacity.
"He is a shining star in the political firmament…"
He is also heir presumptive:
"On the contrary, Jeb is by far the best candidate we have and this was supposed to be a coronation for him. Things will calm down as voting draws closer and Jeb will reclaim the lead."
I checked it out, either it's fairly well done Poe's law or I am really really embarrassed for that person
Could be. The Disqus history is mostly right wing sites so I'm guessing he/she really believes they've picked the winner.
This is live in northern Virginia so they're all in a hotel there doing this. It's actually for cancer prevention and treatment instead of research but it's still good! Sadly it's the last day and next marathon isn't until July or August. They'll upload the individual game videos from this to Youtube eventually though.
There's live channels where people do this all the time, too, correct?
Oh yeah, that's really common, mostly on Twitch. http://www.speedrunslive.com/ is good for finding some of those. We can also be forever jealous of these people for having better computers and internet connections than we do.
Thanks. And yes, true. Sigh.
ETA: Looking at that audience during the break, it looks like it would be fun to watch a thing like this live, but if I walked in I'd look like someone's mom wandered in for their ride home.
There was a mom doing a long speedrun at AGDQ 2015 so you'd probably be okay!
What's with the people on the sofa?
Friends/other people that run the same game.
I just now figured out that the couch people are talking. I would be the Embarrassing Mom.
What's the deal with "Kill the Animals?" Also what are those long things that some of the people in the audience are applauding with? I've decided to call them Nerd Sticks.
idk what the long things are but there's a place where you can save animals from the burning planet in Super Metroid. It's faster not to but they have a bid war (that raised like a quarter million dollars to charity this time) on whether to kill or save them. This time they were killed by not going to save them.
OK thanks. That makes sense, it seemed like it must be something game-specific and that I missed the explanation while I was out in the kitchen.
OT: Sean Penn interviewed El Chapo for Rolling Stone. El Chapo had editorial approval. It is as badly written as you'd expect. Also too, the AP is now reporting that Penn is how the authority found El Chapo. RIP Sean Penn.
Yeah…I'm not overly optimistic about my banged-up team's chances going forward. But we beat the hated Bengals, so this is a fantastic season as far as I'm concerned!
Now back to Final Fantasy IV! Can TOJSUX (Cecil) win at such a low level for so long? Is glitching more money than the powerball going to help? Are they going to be confused because they had to name one character with another's normal name?
And on that note…I have to miss most of the early game tomorrow due to a training run, but I'll check in later (I'm assuming there will be a thread tomorrow as well.) Good night, everyone!
Why on earth didn't the Bengals down it three times and kick a field goal????? a four point lead with 20-30 seconds left probably looks good right about now
Oh absolutely. I have no love for the Bengals after that, but as they say, "it's better to be lucky than good". And Pittsburgh are consistently so very very lucky – with due respect to Cally, nothing against her of course 😉
I wouldn't be too proud of my team either way- there was way too much childish BS from both sides. Cincy was just stupid enough to let it cost them the game
Absolutely, Stealers are well-schooled in playing right on the raggedy edge – and the Bungles fell for it. But that headhunt was… woah. Even worse on replay.
What really killed them was getting suckered into that dumb 2nd 15-yard penalty. I still don't really know what it was for. Violently touching one of the coaches?
Nah, Roth would have just chucked a hail mary with 12 seconds left, got a pass interference penalty on the one yard line, and then a series of unsportsmanlike penalties on Cincinnati would have dragged it to three inches away and pop, TD.
ESPN's talking heads were going on about how that asshole could have been the hero of the game, but instead ended up costing the Bengals a potential win. HA!
I think I have a better chance of winning a couple bucks with these Powerball tickets than getting a team I like in the Super Bowl.
A Cincinnati radio station (WKRP, I assume.) is issuing "Big Ben Warnings." http://www.fox19.com/story/30920013/local-radio-s…
BTW, tomorrow's game between the Vikings and Seahawks in Minneapolis is supposed to be c-c-c-c-c-c-cold. Should be fun. http://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/01/07/vikings-s…
HuffyPo ripped them a new one for making light of sexual assault.
Dammit, I meant to reply to your other link. Sorry for fucking that up.
Just for the record, I think this is a really shitty thing to do. Imagine that, radio DJs being assholes!
Aww…thanks for the title, Shel!

Well, besides the opening kickoff return for a touchdown, this game has been pretty fucking boring. I think it's Hammer Time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otCpCn0l4Wo
Me, myself and I also like this blast from the past!

27 – 0? This is even more lopsided than I thought it would be FFS.
OT: for those of you who like fucking with trolls as much as I do, there's a fan of Jeb! on today's Wonkette article about him.
Geez. More pathetic than usual.
Hmm, maybe it actually is Jeb!?
I just checked it out. Hilarious. This person might be living in a a sealed, underground environment.
"Jeb has in his corner the mightiest Super PAC the US has ever seen. Better still he has electability on his side."

Speedrunning is hilarious
What is this? Live people watching a game? Honestly that looks so fun, even though I know people mock it. Is there a link?
https://gamesdonequick.com/
Yeah, though right now the run on (Bloodborne) is pretty boring tbh. Super Metroid is coming next though so that'll be fun!
I love this! And they're raising money for cancer research! Where is this audience in the background at?

Somehow Bengals fans will blame Andy Dalton for this.

This is so weird that it can't possibly be made up.
What on earth was Robin Wright thinking…
15-0 in the 4th quarter is not a big lead. -Packers fans everywhere
Packer fans know what they are talking about.
This game suddenly got interesting
#bitchmoangrumble
Sorry, no fun for you
And that is why I can't stand the Stealers.
This is why the Bungles have that name.
Broncos fans probably just happy to avoid the Chiefs right now.
no kidding- a beat up Steelers or a surging KC that just punished the Texans? Tough call…
Yeah…I'm not overly optimistic about my banged-up team's chances going forward. But we beat the hated Bengals, so this is a fantastic season as far as I'm concerned!
Now back to Final Fantasy IV! Can TOJSUX (Cecil) win at such a low level for so long? Is glitching more money than the powerball going to help? Are they going to be confused because they had to name one character with another's normal name?
Is Karen making any sense?
This whole thing is well-planned nonsense.
thank God I'm not the only one who didn't understand any of that…
JESUS, I could have done without that heart attack on a plate!
That said…I know I said I'd rather lose to any other team than New England, "even the fucking Bengals." Kill me–I lied. GO STEELERS!

And on that note…I have to miss most of the early game tomorrow due to a training run, but I'll check in later (I'm assuming there will be a thread tomorrow as well.) Good night, everyone!
No lottery winner. I bet if I pay for my next tickets with nickels, they'll KNOW I'm the one who should get that billion dollars.
She did end up dating the girl she said it to so it worked just fine!
" 'Hello,' he lied."
Right until it shreds your heart with all the drama
Oh no, FOMO!
Couldn't find him either. Pehaps Dok took him down.
It's commenter "Boston MA for Jeb" over on the FP's thread, "http://wonkette.com/597712/jeb-bush-rekindles-campaign-excitement-with-pledge-to-screw-the-poors."
S/he carefully schooled Cally on the obvious inevitability of Jeb! and everyone carefully schooled him/her back with actual facts.
I SWEAR IT'S ALL TRUE!
http://gawker.com/el-chapo-confessed-his-crimes-t…
And there goes the lead.
Why on earth didn't the Bengals down it three times and kick a field goal????? a four point lead with 20-30 seconds left probably looks good right about now
I think Cincy just gave the game away with that shitty hit
the Bengals certainly are- they deserve to lose at this point
I want both teams to lose right now
pretty damn ugly
Hines Ward would have been pleased with that sucker hit.
Oh absolutely. I have no love for the Bengals after that, but as they say, "it's better to be lucky than good". And Pittsburgh are consistently so very very lucky – with due respect to Cally, nothing against her of course 😉

Not making excuses, but I will say that Cincinnati does draw out the worst in my team. That said, fuck Vontaze Burfict with a chainsaw of losses…
I guess- or something said. Just think, three kneel downs and a short field goal and the Bengals would likely be going to Denver. Nice going, Marv
that hit was as ugly as it was unnecessary
Nah, Roth would have just chucked a hail mary with 12 seconds left, got a pass interference penalty on the one yard line, and then a series of unsportsmanlike penalties on Cincinnati would have dragged it to three inches away and pop, TD.
ESPN's talking heads were going on about how that asshole could have been the hero of the game, but instead ended up costing the Bengals a potential win. HA!
"Karma is a thing!"
– Le'Veon Bell
The same karma you claimed as the reason Dalton got hurt?
Andy Dalton didn't have it coming: Vontaze Burfict did. So I guess the answer would be "no, but I'll take it against the
SatanistsBengals anyway…"Thanks honey. I'm off to watch ESPN obessively. See you tomorrow!
A news station here says it's more likely to be elected president than to win powerball. Karen 2028!
so Jeb didn't win powerball either?
Someone said that El Chapo was taken back to the same prison that he escaped from- hopefully a different cell. I'd say Penn will last about a week…
