I totally didn't see it coming either but I'm happy to see it! Strasburg has been so damn good.

Coffee for sure. I enjoy tea at times as well, but it's a distant second place behind coffee.

I've been playing TnT pretty steadily the last few days, except I made the mistake of introducing the game to my daughter so she wants to play it a bunch now too. That cuts into my playing time. At least her bedtime is still relatively early so the Switch is all mine later in the evening

Strasburg had such an incredible start to his career, he used to be the pitcher I enjoyed watching the most. Seems like the last few years he was still good but perhaps not in the conversation for "one of the best", especially being on the same team as Scherzer, but I think Strasburg was actually the better pitcher this year and he's been great in the playoffs. Strasburg vs. Verlander will be a fun showdown too, but yeah I wanted to see Strasburg start Game 1 as well

I certainly don't feel bad for the Yankees I'm probably pulling for the Nats in the WS since Houston won pretty recently, but I wouldn't be unhappy with either team winning really. Time for the old debate of, is it better to have off-time or did they just get rusty? I think the Nats' pitchers will have all had full rest now, which is a good thing. Not sure if their hitters have lost a bit of their rhythm though. WS starts Tuesday night!

I think I'm more interested in the characters on the space station, their return to Earth, etc., than whatever is going to happen next with Senku and the bunch

Speaking of dudes who can really play bass, check out vulfpeck (or anything else where Joe Dart is the bassist). Eg:

New one from Theo Katzman and some of the vulfpeck dudes

I thought Destiny was basically Going Through The Motions: The Game. Like, haven't you guys been complaining about it in one way or another for years now?

Been listening to a lot of Jaco

I don't think I've picked up my Switch since last week. We were away all Thanksgiving weekend and then work has been nuts this week. I've been waiting for Taiko no Tatsujin to go on sale, and it seems it finally has, so I might dig into that this weekend if I can find the time.

He keeps telling us it was an accident...

I don't like buffets, too much to choose from. And I find the sheer amount of food that I see so many people taking kind of repulsive. It turns into mindless eating of things just because they are there and there is so much of it. It all seems like such a waste.

I want that thing big-time It's probably gonna cost quite a bit more than I'm willing to pay though...

I really cannot believe that this is the same Anibal Sanchez that pitched in Detroit the last few years. Dude looked like he was cooked a long time ago I'm with you Eizan - Nats vs. Astros would be a great match-up.

We had a thread about gaming regrets at DBZ Center way back, I think maybe Dez started it... that sounds about right. Surely we all have things we regret, whether it's money wasted on shitty games, games we missed out on because of decisions that are questionable in hindsight (ie, picking one console over another), games we were late to the party on, the list goes on. And a lot of time has passed since we last looked back on our regrettable decisions, so those of us who responded to the original thread probably have new regrets to share. Of course it's perfectly fine to rehash the old regrets too I'll get the ball rolling: Even though I still for some reason have a soft spot for the Game Gear, I wish I hadn't agreed to give away my Game Boy + games in order to get a Game Gear. That damn colour screen was just too tempting

Pac-Man was my favourite in Smash for 3DS. It's a bit of a pesky playing style the way you can use fire hydrants and items. Also really enjoyed playing as Little Mac for a more full throttle, all-out offensive style of play.

You still playing mostly as Marth? Or branching out to other characters? What is your short-list of favourite Smash characters?

I think I'm picking the Cards in the NLCS. They still got that devil magic, which I think will overpower the Nats' Wild Card magic. But maybe this is the year the Nats finally stop choking?

RIP Rays

Same same from last week. All rhythm games all the time (what little time I have for games )

I wouldn't be surprised if Dave Roberts is out of a job this winter. Might not be entirely fair, but it's always the manager who takes the blame. re: Kershaw: He's probably due for a drop off in effectiveness any time now. Just so many innings on that arm. I'm not sure I would have gone to him in relief last night if I was calling the shots. I don't know if it will get as ugly as fast as it did with Felix, but I can't help but think Kershaw's days as a really good pitcher are numbered
