A moment of silence, please ...

Because it only took Viking-Sensei three years (and the approaching end of Errant Story) to come up with a better name for "General Discussions"

A moment of silence, please ...

Post by Graybeard »

... To mourn the end of another baseball season.

So what's to keep us entertained through the long, cold winter?

Other than Errant Story, of course.

arghhh, I thought someone you knew died! (errr, not that I was hoping for it, just a bit of a mood whiplash)

Umm.... Battlefield Heroes? Another winter of development hell for SOS-dan? SC2 closer to third release date? When's Higurashi no Naku Kori ni season 3 coming out? The end of Erfworld, battle for Gobwin Knob? Christmas Service, dinner, presents and gifts to others?

I've been meaning to take up Cricket. Not the actual playing... god no... just the watching. I used to drive him in the middle of the night and listen to the BBC World News on the local NPR station, and I'd always be blown away when the sports guy would rattle off the scores, and I'd just sit there with this vapid stunned look of confusion on my face, going "whut?" some time after he finished speaking.

I've read the rules several times over and still have no idea what they're talking about... so I think I'm going to have to hunt some actual footage of matches down on the internet and watch one to see if I can sort out exactly what is going on.
How could a plan this awesome possibly fail?

I dunno much about it, but:
Basically you whack the ball when you feel like it and then run. Baseball (I luv) is an American bastardization which focuses on, well, having to whack the ball within a short period of time. Bring some sandwiches if its a real game, it has teatimes I think and can basically last forever. Good time for everyone watching to relax and get a tan.
