Man, fuck the Dolphins.  Cost me in my survivor league.  The Jags?  Really?  Thought they were supposed to be decent this year.

Oh well, finished up the Danganronpa plat today.  The school mode was fun, but having to go through it 4 times was a bit annoying.  Is it the same way in the second one?

 
The horseshoe is right back up the Seahawks/Wilson's asshole.

There was a Packers guy and a Seahawks guy making fun of the officials throwing the flag though, that was funny.

Well except that offsides thing MWN mentioned. But fuck. I'm having flashbacks.

Yeah but soccer has a ton of flopping it's not even subtle so the refs there just call everything a foul unless you really do something and then you get a yellow or red card. That shit is every bit as annoying.

Doesn't the ref decide when a UFC match is over?

Yes but they almost always get the stoppage right because it's easy to see. If they don't, the person they spared is so rocked they're going to lose anyway. I've seen a handful of early stoppages in my multiple years of watching the sport, but I could probably count those on one hand. It's just a much easier sport to officiate.

They're also not influencing anything else before the end of the game either. Unless someone gets kicked in the balls, poked in the eye, or grabs on to the fence.

The flopping is annoying but that's not on the refs. And fouls in soccer don't matter 98% of the time unless they're in the box. When they are in the box, refs usually take a lot more care, though of course they get that wrong sometimes still too.

There were over 200 penalty yards in the Dolphins/Jaguars games. That's basically 2 touchdowns. I call that a major influence on the game. I'm not sure I saw one really bad call (except for the god-awful pass interference spot before the Jags FG in the first half) but like Kanamit said, it's more about the inconsistency. How many penalties AREN'T called every game? There's no way of knowing...but its way fucking more than zero.

I know its probably like muscle memory, but when you're down by 10 (with no timeouts) how do short dump-off passes even help? I see it all the time (Dolphins did the same thing) but even the littlest bit of common sense says throw to the sideline or don't bother completing it.

Yeah there's still a decision just like in boxing but really the sport is in the hands of the 2 guys fighting. It's up to them to avoid a decision and besides tap outs they can score with takedowns and control.

Judges determine all fights that go the distance. Round winner MUST get 10 points, round loser gets 9 points or less. Very rarely a round will be scored 10-10 resulting in a draw, but it is super rare.

Knockouts and tapouts are easy to officiate (cuz the dude is asleep or literally signaling to the ref that he quits) but TKO's once in a while can be controversial. Again, it's pretty rare.

 
Ive been playing Shutshimi off and on all day and just passed wave 201 and the game still won't fucking give me a pair of sunglasses for that trophy.

I got that one right away, but gave up on both the lipstick one and the foam dome one just because getting the right hat is so random.

I did get the boss rush trophy on my 2nd try which was nice.

The game is fucking with me now. After I finally died, I went back to try to finish the boss rush. First hat I get is the sunglasses. Followed two rounds later by the boomerang for the storm. But apparently you can't earn that shit in boss rush mode.

Fuuuuuuck yoooooou.

Look on the bright side. It's not keeping you from getting the plat.

 
that was a wild ride. shades of mccarthy there towards the end. went to the sports bar to watch the game. place was crawling with hawks "fans". so quiet until the 3rd quarter, got loud for a little bit, and then the place got real empty.

Having judges determine who won a round and ultimately a fight sounds more subjective and arbitrary to me than referees deciding what is and isn't a penalty in football, and how that relates to the eventual victor.

That's about my only take away is the Hawks played 1 good qtr. Hawks were walking into an ambush, home opener, revenge game, played 1 good qtr, and still had a shot to win.
