Gotta love those Chi-townians. Only thing bad about them is that 75% of them immediately jumped off the Bulls Bandwagon when Jordan left. Some of the people here aren't too supportive of their sports teams.

I'm so tired of coming here and seeing these sports threads. This is a tech forum. If you want to talk about sports there are forums out there for that. All these threads turn into flame fests eventually.

Someone should lock this thread.

I've seen it happen before. The sports people come around and start talking about hockey . . . the next thing you know it's football and baseball.

Not only are there no flames here, no one asked you if you like these threads or not. The subject of the thread should have been a clue to you that it was about sports, why go any farther if you don't like it? A lot of your more recent posts sound just like this one, asking to close threads. Why do you bother?

For the record, my favorite team is the often-overlooked Montreal Expos. Sure, it's probably their last season, but the team has so many terrific players and they're still fun to watch.

It's a Joke.

Actually, I don't ask for threads to be closed very often. So, you really don't know what your talking about.

However, I find it interesting that when a post like mine here, is placed in a thread about theology or politics . . . that's OK . . . but when it's in a sports thread someone comes back and says the very same thing that the whiners are told in the political threads. That . . . I find humorous.

Sorry silly_walk . . . you fell victim to a "mind-f**k." I don't care what anyone posts . . . this is a General Forum and I believe it should be open to any type of discussion. I do want to thank you for proving a point for me though!

P.S. The sports threads do quite often turn into flame gardens.

TimeRider, if that was just a joke, it just makes people more likely to call you a troll!

My favorite sports team is the Jordan F1 team, they have a great attitude, and a lot of fun. Damon Hill seemed to really enjoy himself with them after races.

What makes me laff about football (REAL FOOTBALL, not 'american football'), is when people say 'did you see it when we last played'. The word 'we'. Makes me laff, its like die hard supporters think they are a member of the team. Hmmm.

Also people who support a team for no reason other than they live in that city/town. That strikes me as odd.

I like Jordans attitude to racing, I dont happen to live near their HQ, or know one of them. I just think they are pretty cool.

What reasons do you all support your teams for? I'm curious now my mind has started ticking over :p

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
