Out of Pod Experience

that is all

I've played them both. Football is the only game I've played where I almost had my neck broken twice, wound up on crutches for 12 weeks, and have residual weather aches starting from every broken toe and ending with what may have been several undiscovered concussions. It was fun getting these.

Baseball, however, is the only game where the coach said, "Look like you're doing something out there." I've actually fallen asleep in centerfield before. Luckily, I wound up at first base where I caught the ball a lot. The most exciting moment I had playing baseball was when I smashed the windshield out of a car with a fly ball.

Basketball is the game. The other two I played to stay in shape for basketball. If you play hoops, you got game.

Daniel Tosh on American Football:

Stop celebrating? Their job is to catch a ball. I don't care if you get in the end zone and have a ten-minute tea party, it's a game. Just don't get mad at me when you're paralyzed from the neck down being carted off the field 'cause some free safety took your head off, and you see me in the stands going, "Ha-ha! Dance now, you overpaid clown! How does it feel to know god hates you?"

Basketball is the superior sport. Baseball is for lazy athletes, football is for stupid athletes, and soccer is for athletes who like to run more than they like to score.

I love when people say rugby is tougher than FOOTBALL(that's what it's called by the way..that other game that people play is called soccer) because if you took all the pads and helmets off of football players, they would literally be killing each other. Football players are faster and stronger. Football>rugby. *smirk*

I went to a Blackhawks/Bruins competition and a game broke out in the middlle of the fight!

Epic derail lol.

Also a bad analogy. I imagine this is a "play style" high vs null thing right? Well, it's apples and oranges.

Football (real american football, not the soccer the unwashed 3rd world countries...and England...plays :) ) and baseball have NOTHING to do with each other, unlike how High Sec is just a part of a game tthat also has null sec, low sec and Wormhole Space.

People playing baseball instead of football doesn't mean the sports economy falls apart lol, but if everyone stayed in high sec, the eve economy would crash because there is no one to sell all the nice stuff the high sec builders made or the mission runners bought with their LP.

A better analogy is that EVE is soccer, but high sec is a special field off to the side of the REAL (null, WH, low) field for those "special" kids who need to use their hands to get the ball into the net because using their feet is hard.....and that's ok, because they are (short bus) SPECIAL.

High Sec players love to think everyone wants them out of high sec because we just don't like how they play. Newsflash, we don't care how you play, we care about the game we play that has an economy that NEEDS ships to blow up and ammo to be used on more than just NPCs.

While we aren't down with the whole casual/solo thing like High Sec players tend to be (and folks like me do wonder why someone who wants "casual" and solo" chooses to play an MMO in the 1st place), we appreciate them subbing so the company that makes the game we play can survive.

We just wish they'd stop complaining about the natural balance of eve, a balance in which high sec MUST (for the sake of the game) be a less lucrative and yes, less interesting place to be because the real, player driven sectors of the game (low, null and WH) need it to be that way, else there is no reason for them to exist.

Also, baseball sucks.

This, too, has nothing to do with EVE. Let's see if a phantom notices...

Hockey is also the only sport where "no blood, no foul" is literally true. If a penalty draws blood, you get a second penalty for making 'em bleed.

I heard that back in those days men used to play it, is this true?
