Also a non double digit entity.

He's also not the only guy that has done horrible things. The rest of the cunts who were with him at the time deserve as much if not more of the heat. There's loads of these cretins around software and I have personally witnessed some of the stupidest things in my time that make you wonder why they even think they can get away with what they are doing.

Unfortunately, that's how the CEO gig works, and I think there's more to it than just the payout. He'd probably run Activision/Blizzard into massive legal problems if they tried to do the "right" thing. The stories I have read and heard about from folks working in the industry regarding not just him but the people he worked with when they were wild-westing their time are absolutely disgusting.

CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024 | Ars Technica Did not expect this but its not bad news even if he gets a huge payout.

I talked to someone in Japan about four years ago when it was at what I considered a decent price. We were all ready and then you know that virus thingy happened. Then I went back and he decided to keep it. I'll try again around March next year. I really like it for a lot of reasons, the other guitar I was so hellbent on getting was the Ibanez Fireman that Gilbert uses because I really love that baseball bat style neck.

This made me a little sick and only because of Kotick. When M$ were originally asked what would happen to Kotick when the acquisition went through the answer was something on the lines was "business will go on as usual". What a cunt this guy is and everytime I see his face it makes me want to punch him.

@Stan @CaaC (John) @Dr. Gonzo @DeadLinesman @Spike @Pyfish @nudge @Beelzebub @Tommy @Lucas @Bluewolf Round 3 is underway. As a refresher for newcomers I am reposting the rules here. I tried to avoid Google potential questions but as we move forward it might get a bit harder. The Rules or How does this work? For people who haven't played before the game is very simple, there will be 10 questions asked per round and they may have multiple answers. The goal is to try and answer like the rest of the players. An example is, What is a common accompaniment with eggs for breakfast? And if you and 5 other people answer "beans" then you get 6 points. If your answer doesn't match anyone else's then you get one point. The idea is to gain as many points and get to the top of the list to be the Sheepiest of the lot. If there is ambiguity in the question, as is sometimes the case, I will put specific instructions next to the question as I know some of these can be close in wording and I try my best to group them together. Sheep - Season 11 - Sports - Round 3 - Even More Miscellaneous Name a company that sponsors more than three sports that is into the business of technology. Name a country that does consistently well at Weightlifting events at the Summer Olympic Games. Who has hosted the best olympics in the modern era (2000 onwards) Name a famous basketball player who isn't American that has won gold at the Olympics. Name a sport where the Dutch have won the most medals. Name a country that has the most medals in Track Cycling. How many hurdles must an athelete jump across in a 100m hurdles event? Name a famous watch-making company that has also been the official timer for sporting events besides Omega. Name a sport in which scoring never gets to double digits. If the sheep had to pick a VAR referee for football, who would they choose from the current list of contestants. Notes/Rules For 1st timers, the rules of the game are simple. You want your answers to these questions to match with one other player or more than one other players. E.g. If your answer is "Wookie" and five other people answer the same then you get 6 points for that question. If you do not match with anyone else you're only going to get 1 point. The winner is the person who has the most points after 5 rounds. Please DM me all your answers and don't post them in here. Please feel free to ask questions for clarification purposes and I'll try and answer them as best as I can. Please do not try and discuss answers to questions until the round is over. I will accept spelling mistakes and words that follow a certain theme. If the answers have to be unique I will call them out specifically with the questions There is no such thing as a WRONG ANSWER. Keep in mind that you can type anything you want and if someone else provides the same answer we can all have a laugh while you'll walk away with 2 or more points. You all have till Sunday(Oct 22nd) to get your answers to me. If they all come in sooner I'll have the results out faster as well and we can move to the next round. Good luck.

With these kinds of demands I can't see this going away till around early December. This isn't going to sit well with the Palestinians and they'll retaliate for sure. Leaving that area allows Israeli occupation and they just wont allow it.

@Dr. Gonzo after reading what you wrote about Dave's guitars from ESP I thought to myself whether there were any guitars from famous musicians I'd really want and then I realized theres really only one i want and its ESP's Snakebyte (the matte white finish). Shame they don't sell them here. LTD SNAKEBYTE - The ESP Guitar Company (espguitars.com)

I'd wait for a price-drop and then get it. The only reason I even started playing it is because I was fascinated by why everyone thought this was better than a FromSoftware game. TBF to the devs they've done a really good job and I like how the little environmental objects help you learn as time goes on but after what FS did with Elden Ring they set a very good tone for how these games should really be made. I'd even go so far as to say if you haven't played Bloodborne and you like this kind of game give that a play-through. Easily in my top ten games.

As it went on I quite liked it honestly. The combat system is good and although I always feel like these games almost suck because of the PS5 controller (that trigger is weird) I still think its a great game to play. Is it better than Elden Ring? Not really, even if folks tell you so. But, its a great game nonetheless.

Shame injuries got the best of him. Was quite the player to watch in his prime at Chelsea, he'd just maze through defenders and drag them all around the place too.

Summed up what I wanted to say about the entire information passing. It's so odd that it's come out and then the discourse around it and back and forthing. What's also odd is how so many platforms have been dragged into this mess now for false news and only one has been taken to court. The fact that CNN hasn't seen any real legal ramifications for what they did speaks volumes to how the media is playing this game for whatever side of the fence they want to sit on.

Thought this was disputed as false and even if they were given the intel, it really does give them an open invitation to retaliate which they'd definitely use to their benefit.

Got that right Chopstick.

His only fault was more people didn't fall into the same trap. that would have been some good scoring.

To make people think there was a trick.

Very good.

Good showing in this round @Tommy

The best PD for this round goes to @Tommy with the best improvement from Round 1. Onto round 3 we go!! P.S. Its interesting to see that the only positive improvements in this round both share the bottom two spots on the table.

Miscellaneous Notes The Sheep have voted for Nudge to be the Judoka that represents them. Shinji Kagawa is the Japanese football favourite voted by the group Chopstick Wars is a sport played with sticks but no ball Africans excel at long-distance running sports according to the sheep. Football came a close second. Thanks everyone for playing this round we'll get started on the next round by this week's end. Good luck for the next round.

Can't say that wasn't entertaining to score and now I am off to update the season and round data.
