    An undead dragon that breathes ice.......I kind of hope not. I would like the story to remain about the characters, not become a D&D game that levels up and the DM has to keep piling more cool stuff on to make it challenging......which I can't believe I just typed, frankly. The world is sorely lacking in good high magic fantasy.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Ya, assuming last year was all him sulking seems unfair, unless you have access to Rochester people that aren't affiliated with the Twins and don't have an agenda......
  3. Mike Sixel
    Disappointed, not surprised totally. Alas.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agree with all of this. I think my expectations were raised too high.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I have found not buying things makes it easier.....I really would like a computer of my own, but it doesn't kill me to use my wife's when my iPad isn't enough.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Before moving we largely purged our house.....it is amazing how much stuff we had that we NEVER looked at, used, touched, remembered we had...... The only way to pull this off is to either downsize, and be forced.....or to just pick one closet to work on over a weekend. If you haven't used it in a year, you might want to donate it to someone that needs it.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I realize that.......the books have, imo, underused a great villain.
  8. Mike Sixel
    ? I think everyone agrees a dragon can kill the white walkers.....the question is, how can they fight the dragons? Because if they can't, well, that sounds like that part of the story could be kind of boring just watching them hover (how?) over the field and burning all the zombies and white walkers.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think the dire wolves definitely suffer from under use........much like the white walkers. Where are they, and what are they doing? It would have been awesome to see Arya's wolf lead a huge pack into that Battle of the Bastards, for example. Or Ghost to lead a small pack after Ramsey when no one was around.

    I am with you on the skills, I don't do the stuff you can see, generally..... I am probably with you on the fun part also, it is more fun in retrospect than when I'm actually doing it. Of course, some good tools would help....

    When TR said Sano's future was not the OF.... Is it at 3B? DH? Does his future not being the OF start when he returns, or next year?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I kind of liked remodeling, but my wife hates the swearing, and if we ever get another home, I think I'm banished from anything other than electrical and gardening.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Quoting myself..... If you ever start guitar, justinguitar is awesome. My more advanced friends just use his song lessons to get an idea for a song..... but for starting out, and not wanting to pay a teacher? Pure awesome. Andy's lessons are very good, I just prefer Justin's for some reason.....both Brits..... Marty just re-launched his site, with an unreal number of lessons. I really like Rocksmith a lot for the reasons above, you play along with songs you like. I should play it, because the PS3 disappears again in August....but then, my 18 yo is nearly always binge watching something.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Ha, I'm not asking for some kind of flawless uber mensh.....but I can't imagine any commander worth his salt doing what Jon did. Plus, it was just darned predictable...... Those came with the blu rays? I own three or four seasons of blu rays......
  15. Mike Sixel
    http://www.justinguitar.com/ http://www.andyguitar.co.uk/ http://www.martyschwartzguitar.com/ Rocksmith is very good also,mostly for speeding up...... I bought Justin's 2 beginner songbooks and his book that goes with this lessons. If I actually practiced much, or often, or stuck to the plan, I'd be mediocre right now (starting when you are nearly 50, and having absolutely no musical natural talent or rhythm makes the process ..... interesting).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ah, got it......it seemed like people were blaming Smith for their not being trade-able assets when he was gone....that would be almost impossible to be his fault..... I think Perkins would have netted something nice. That's the one that sticks in my craw* * not that I know the etymology of that one....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmm..... Practice guitar Watch tv Try to find stuff since our move I would play more games, but I am the only one in the house that interested go to a brewery Read a book (currently reading Guy Gavriel Kay's latest) Talk to my wife about her new business, or about where we should move next
  18. Mike Sixel
    Those videos you attached....there appear to be several different makers of similar videos on youtube....anyone have a recommendation for which to watch? I thought about this more last night...... I feel all dirty for not liking the show right now. It is well done, high budget, a generally good story, has dragons in it, I should be loving this. Maybe my expectations are too high. But, this article sums up my feelings (not my favorite source, or style): http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/20/11974424/game-of-thrones-recap-season-6-episode-9-battle-of-the-bastards

    Who ran the FO when they "built" that team of players that wasn't there to trade? Not Smith.....he inherited that team.
  20. Mike Sixel
    If there were no young players close (or in the majors)....and it takes 4 years to develop......and Smith was in charge for less time than that.....who was the GM when those young players should have been close, that had a farm system with nothing to show for it?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Besides Sano, Kepler, Polanco, Gibson, and others, you mean, right?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I think it is reasonable to have your stance, even if I disagree with it. I won't root for players who beat women, and don't want them on the teams I root for, for example.
  23. Mike Sixel
    My guess also....but I'm tired of assuming good decisions, only to watch this.
  24. Mike Sixel
    He did say "future"......I don't know if that applies to this team, this year, or not....but maybe I'm parsing too much.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff as always! Thanks to both sides for doing this.
