I'm devastated. There isn't another band that had a bigger influence on my musical tastes.

One of my favorite groups.

Damn, they just released a new album within like the last month.

Jon G put in the work. I have all the respect in the world for him.

They are a hell of a lot better than Chad Ford. Props to ESPN for finally getting one right as much as it sucks to have to pay or be in the dark come draft time now.

Niceee thanks for the heads up. I'm in the middle of GTA V and I'm loving it.

until you have to chase Tenpenny's fire truck who has the speed of a lambo.

I remember I completed that mission with the second or third attempt the first time I went through the game. the next time I seriously needed like 50 attempts. I don't even know why I kept trying.

I had to restart the game on my PS2 because Madd Dogg jumped off the building when the cut scene was still going on. (was supposed to run and get a truck with boxes in it so he will fall into it instead)

Probably tried it 50 times before i gave up, it was glitched. Was quite mad.

Controls are a bit weird on the PC, you cant auto aim so shooting is a bit of a pain.

more of my favorite things from the PS2 days which i will definitely do now (assuming the cheat codes are available)

- driving a car off the big mountain in the western part of map
- being a trucker (from the trucking missions just outside Los Santos)
- doing the triathlons, playing basketball and the racing missions.
- using cheat codes to make everyone go to war with each other
- flying cars cheat code
- hitting people with the giant dildo
- running around in nothing but underwear
- running around in nothing by underwear while hitting people with giant dildo

Im sure there are more that im not thinking about.....oh yea. eating food until you puke.

Just did the third (?) Zero mission (where you fly his little plane and shoot his enemys).

Flying is stupidly hard......already having nightmares about the flying school.

Head up into the mountains. Lots of scenery, hiking close to Greenville.

With football season upon us, now is the time for me to figure out my viewing platform for football and then basketball. Last year I used a TiVo over the air DVR for football and then sprang for cable for basketball.

Now it looks like there are quite a few streaming platforms that include cloud DVR and pick up Fox Sports regional programming. I'm thinking I may go with YouTube TV, but am also considering Playstation Vue, Sling, and Hulu Live.

Any cord cutters have advice?

Youtube TV - $35, but it lacks TNT which sucks for NBA fans. 3 device limit and no apps for Roku or AppleTV. Watch recommendations for your TV is to have a newer chromecast or have an android tv. I guess hooking up your PC would be fine too.

Sling ends up at around $40 for the orange & blue plan. You get TNT, ESPN, Fox regional for NBA games. 3 device limit. Cost more if you want NBATV or NFL network. Apps on Roku & AppleTV. This is probably your best bet.

I have DirecTV and was looking into DirecTV Now, but decided the options above were better atm if I ever decide to make a switch.

PSVue - I don't want my TV tied to a game console if that is how it works, haven't looked into it.

Hulu Live - Haven't heard of it. Never used Hulu.

PS Vue works with most devices that Sling does (Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, etc.).

Good call on no TNT for YouTube TV, didn't think about that. That's probably enough for me to pass on that service.
