If you have Hulu or ESPN+, they have bundle deals. We got all 3 for $12.99 per month. We were already paying for Hulu, so it made sense. It added $2 to our monthly budget.

I trained my hand positioning from the Gamecube & X360 controller and now that I have a PS4, I find my hands reverting to joystick where the arrows are (I still use the arrows for on screen keyboards). Still, the Dualshock feels the best in my hands, mostly because the X360 was a little bulky. But I also still refer to PS4 buttons in my head as ABXY, so take this with a grain of salt.

Confirmed positives in 2 of the 3 playing groups (East & Central), oddly enough all in the National League. I give it 2 weeks before they are forced to shut it down.

I have become addicted to  NBA 2K20 (thanks PS Plus) to the point I am considering buying NBA 2K21 during pre-release. I've also been playing some  Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Final Mix off the Kingdom Hearts: All-in-One Package I bought during the spring sale (which had the entire collection for like $20).

1. McIntyre

3. Bayley

4. Wyatt

B3. Yes (but it's hilarious no matter how they do it)

B4. No

B5. No

Bought the Kingdom Hearts HD Collection in one of the PS4 sales and started playing  Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix recently. Made it to Deep Jungle then got caught having lots of stuff coming due for my dissertation, so it's been on the back burner. Probably going to pick it back up in the next few days along with starting  Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. I also got  NBA 2K20 for free from PSPlus so might try to jump into that.

So are we ever going to find out who wins any of these @Blackjak?

Also, if anyone has a DraftKings account, they have a Royal Rumble Pick 'Em

I like picking the NXT/surprise entrant. The RNG seems fun enough, but you need to divvy up all entry slots (and you get the same number in both Rumbles). Might also be fun to have a "Which superstar enters at X spot?" question

2. Lynch

3. New Day

4. Smackdown

5. NXT

6. Styles

7. Fiend

Baseball  So you're a Tigers fan then I guess? I'm a lifelong Blue Jays fan. Toronto/Detroit used to be a pretty good rivalry. It's a shame they don't play each other more, but with the unbalanced schedule and being in different divisions that's how it shakes out Both teams are pretty shitty this year though so oh well Nice to see Matt Boyd pitching well for the Tigers this season though

Yeah, grew up watching games at Tiger Stadium. My parents tell me stories about taking the train to Toronto in the 80s for ballgames. It's funny that I now have better access to Toronto games here in Boston.

I can't say I'm a fan of wrasslin, and I definitely don't like Boston sports teams, but I will try not to hold it against you if you like those things

 

What are your favourite sports?

I live in Boston, but grew up in Detroit. So not a huge fan of all these Bahstahn fans.

I'm big into baseball, soccer, hockey (collegiate and pro), and college football. But I will watch pretty much any sport.

Hey newbie!  Always happy to see a new face!

 

You into video games at all?  Lot of gamers here.

I am into video games. I have a PS4 with a backlog of games that I need to get around to playing. Currently trying to Platinum Dark Souls 2. My backlog has DS3, Bloodborne, RE7, Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn, and God of War 4

I was encouraged to leave a post here. I recently joined the forum as part of the WWE picks. Blackjak recruited me from our time on WWE Supercard and now I'm here. My wrestling fandom waxes and wanes, with WWE failing to hold my attention for long outside of NXT (hoping AEW corrects this trend), but I'm also big into sports and video games. Hoping to get to know everyone!
