We used to do it where we would set up two big squares of cups filled with beer, and the shots were mixed in amongst the cups. So you could see the other side, just didn't know where the shots were. So we were still just throwing balls, but trying to hit the ships. But we also had multiple people on each team because a 30 rack and a fifth for each side is way too much for a single person.

Oh ya another great one! I'm excited to see how it shapes up but I've heard good things from people who read the manga.

Actiony:

  • Jujutsu Kaisen: probably the raddest one coming out right now in my opinion. Beautiful art and fight scenes. Great story.
  • One Punch Man: Love it. Very goofy. Again great art and fight scenes. Just be ready to have watched everything out and still no 3rd season.
  • Blue Exorcist: Classic boy finds out he has powers. Goes to a cool high school to train. I thought it was fun, plus I'm a sucker for supernatural stuff.
  • Code Geass: Great story with some political intrigue. I think this is on a lot of people's top 10s.
  • All of Gundam: If you want to get sucked into a whole world with tons of series get into Gundam.
  • Deathnote: Fun cat and mouse thriller. Reminds me very much of Sherlock and Moriarty style cat and mouse games.
  • K: First season is great. Unfortunately I couldn't get through the first episode of the second season. Maybe I'll try it out some other time.
  • Castlevania: Follows the storylines similar to the video games. Just brutal vampire shit. It's great.
  • Megalo Box: This one is amazing. Lofi hiphop vibes and a great underdog rocky style boxing story. Really gave me Bebop/Champloo vibes.
  • Assassination Classroom: Weird concept. I didn't think I would like it but came to love it. Kids have to learn to kill their alien teacher by learning to be assassins.

Some non-actiony animes if you are looking to branch out that i've enjoyed are Saiki K, Food Wars (so fan servicey but a really fun story if you ever liked Iron Chef), Zom100 (I guess this is kinda actiony, but more fun), Mashle (again actiony, but more goofy).

I could probably list a million more but my list is getting really long. I also second the recommendations in the other replies.

I'm reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski right now. It's been great so far and has such a unique style to it. I didn't realize until I saw this post how perfect it was for spooky season. Although I wouldn't say it has any Halloween elements. It's more just general horrorish.

Noted international goal scorer Scott McTominay.

Oh for sure. It's definitely a big question when it just keeps happening, even if a couple of them really are due to bad luck. I think when Ronaldo came back to United he said that their training facilities hadn't been updated since his first stint with the club.

I'm just imagining that scene from Major League where they hook up an old boat motor to their hot tubs.

The only thing I'd take issue with is how they gloss over the injury woes as if they were a side note. I think United have had something like 13 injured players to start the season (I think some of these were minor though). Any team faced with that kind of rotten luck (unless it's a training/facilities issue) is going to struggle.

That being said, I definitely agree that the issues need to be looked at from the top. They have changed personnel multiple times and yet they still are finding similar results. The Glazers need to either get with it, or get out of the way.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of it is coming off the news of the suicide bombing that was carried out by IS in Pakistan. But another part of it could be that one post got popular and so you will see posts following the trends.

On an atheism community you can't expect people to only post about one religion. Maybe something you can do to tie it to your experiences is try and connect the commonalities that tend to infect all major religions. I think its interesting finding those foundational aspects of many mainstream religions and seeing how they use similar tactics and controlling techniques amongst their congregants.
