Been looking into John Bois.

He did a hugely famous web series called 17776, about the future of football, a distant time where humans cannot die or get injured, theres no war, people are bored, and football has now become a communal game, where the field can span whole states and even years, etc. He did a sequel to it 20020 and 20021. Havent read it all, but have seen snippets and the gist.

But i just wanted to also post this video of someone mocking John Bois videos he does for Dorktown and Chart Party, how all his videos are the same style. Funny.

This is the multi-media story of 17776. It's pretty interesting.

What football will look like in the future

Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong.

Because theres such a cool multi-media intro to the 17776 page, once you visit it, you dont get to see it again, because it sets a cookie that youve visited, so you only see the chapter section next time.

So if you wanna see it again from the very start, clear the cookies, or easier, just open the link in an incognito/private tab.

This a a very interesting watch for anyone interested in collectibles , really well put together and thorough investigation

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

People involved in grading companies buying up tons of sealed video games 6 months before grading them became a thing, on the stock market they call that insider trading.

So many other dodgy things in the video.

Pretty much makes me doubt the whole grading of collectibles, it looks like a massive scam, buyers beware.

I can't stand US College and High School Football, watched a few games on Kayo and it's boring.

Anyone else think it's not worth your time or am i alone in this?

I like college and high school football because coaches often are very creative with offensive formations, using very old formations from bygone eras, even inventing new ones. The NFL wouldnt be without the innovations from these levels of competition. As spectacles tho, most games are lop-sided, and defense is an after-thought, a lot of programs that just cant compete. Only a handful of teams that are elite. No parity.

For sure it reminds me of the CFL where there's so many in motion and hardly any on the D line.
I suppose if i was more intune with the game it would be ok but it just reminds me of Junior Aussie Rules where there is limited structure.

The game i watched in the High Schools was Red against Dark Blue and they danced around a fair bit, with and without the ball and in the touchdown area and on the sideline. I switched it off when the Red coach walked onto the ground to talk to the players, thought it was halftime.

Boring, and very ordinary.

It is shit boring , too lopsided talent wise like GG said, players leaving after 2 years and such so you struggle to develop a love for certain teams with the constant revolving door, and the way they do things such as the playoffs is absolute garbage.

Very hard to get enthusiastic about I find unless there is a particular player youre keen to watch.

I dont have a college team and doubt I ever will.

Yeah i have noticed slight differences between High School and College, both in the game play and the support and supporters.
There also seems to be certain areas where the game is totally different in play and standard.

For me it looks like Texas is big on High School and some areas for College while Dakotas and Wyoming are less good standard High school and more College oriented. Not sure why?
