The Docket, Metal Gear and Fantasy Football
As movie buffs, I think we all have a docket. What is the docket, you ask? If you listen to our podcasts you should know, but the docket is the never ending list of movies and tv shows that you want to watch but will get to eventually. The docket is one of those fickle things that will never get smaller, no matter what you do, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s a bad thing. In one way, you’ve always got something next on your list, which is a great thing. However, more often than not things that are already on the docket get pushed further down the docket. For instance, I have yet to watch Banshee. I know everybody loves it, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet, for whatever reason. That right there is the essence of the docket; a list that continues to exist against your logic and reasoning as a consumer.
Metal Gear Solid V…what can I say, I’m smitten. Between finals week and the new job, my free time has been 95% Metal Gear and 5% football. Considering I’m watching every NFL game I can this season, that gives you some perspective on just how much time I’m pumping into Metal Gear. I’m currently sitting at 30 hours and, while the end is clearly in sight, I’m working on building out my FOBs, invading other players and upgrading all the gear and buddies. It’s a grind, but it’s an enjoyable one. If you’re not playing this, get on it now. It might be the best game of the year. Maybe.
I don’t know how everyone else is doing but Fantasy Football has been an absolute nightmare this season. I’ve had the average amount of wins that I usually do (which isn’t many) but it seems as though this year in particular is really difficult. I blame this on the copious amount of injuries. Between several starting quarterbacks, a ton of wide receivers, some stud running backs and key defensive injuries, players are dropping like flies this year. Thankfully, none of them are Patriots, but I’m not holding my breath on that one either. How is everyone else dealing with the stress of the season? Are you feeling the anguish as much as I am?
That does it for this week’s blog. Be sure to check back for our daily blogs, a new Binge Aftertaste and another Binge GameCast. Binge On!
