The one silver lining is that this is the most successful year they’ve had in terms of developing prospects that I can remember, with a really good mix of 50 FV type pitching prospects and position players in AAA and AA. They’ll have some holes to fill next year but they should have some good cost-controlled talent coming through the pipeline in the next few years.

only took me a few weeks to learn how to stay alive for the 10 mile or so journey, just “gearing up” and jogging from the east coast of the map, where you spawn, and making it across the map took pretty much about six hours…

there are vehicles in the game, but that’s higher level kind of stuff to use those, i’m just getting okay making fire and fishing…plus almost all the “good” gear is on the west side of the map…

each map instance of the game fits 60 players, those “full” maps are kind of brutal though, been staying on low player population (10 or so players) maps and trying to avoid other players all together…there is in-game voice chat available, which works to diffuse situations sometimes, often though around the player spawn areas it’s attack first worry about it later…further inland, folks are often just hunting other players for gear or fun…

figured out how to mostly not die by hunger/thirst/disease – the zombies though are still giving me fits, one of them is mostly manageable, but bad news if there’s more than that though – run away, if possible…

also, if i don’t find a compass early in the game, good chance i’ll end up walking in circles, ugh, that’s happened way too much…

still haven’t really started using any guns, every time you use them it attracts both a bunch of zombies, and worse yet other players…carry them, just don’t use them…

But seriously I can’t believe the Mets current collapse, still think they’ll get the final Wild Card spot though.

For the players available at our draft slots, Tyler Kolek had as strong a claim as anyone to be the most NBA-ready.

This is a preposterous statement.

Which I would find very surprising. But he knows more than I do for sure.
