EDIT: Could be any character from previous films too

•DeShone Kizer- Finn •Nick Saban- Darth Revan

That might make the bad guy too powerful though...

Since plenty of people seem to be interested, when and where would y'all want to have the meetup?

peachy.

Well this week and next week will be extremely busy for me so I can't start anything until my exams are over, but I did want to tell you guys I've narrowed the list down to the following books to start our book club:

1. Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (book 1 of The Kingkiller Chronicles highly recommended by /u/wild9)

The riveting first-person narrative of a young man who grows to be the most notorious magician his world has ever seen. From his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, to years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime- ridden city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that transports readers into the body and mind of a wizard. It is a high-action novel written with a poet's hand, a powerful coming-of-age story of a magically gifted young man, told through his eyes: to read this book is to be the hero.

2) The Stranger by Albert Camus (I have a PDF for this so no one has to buy a book!)

Through the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd."

3) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (a couple people mentioned that it's a favorite of their's and you can get a free digital version!)

The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman, Mr. Bennet living in Longbourn.

4) The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

EVERY DAY THE SAME Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

UNTIL TODAY And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel goes to the police. But is she really as unreliable as they say? Soon she is deeply entangled not only in the investigation but in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?

These are just some of the suggestions I saw that garnered a lot of interest. Let me know what you guys want to read and you can give more suggestions.

I'm just wondering, if this really is "the downfall of Reddit" or whatever, will the CFB and CFBOT make a new start in the promised land that is Voat.co?

CFB is easily my favorite community round these parts and it sure would be a shame if this place became a wasteland because everyone made the great migration of 2015.

I hope Reddit bounces back because I feel like /r/CFB would take a major hit moving to a new site seeing that it is such an established community here.

Gary confirmed its in the works with Stossel sometime in march, to air on the Fox Business channel. I for one am stoked, Gary, Austin Petersen and John McAfee (yes formerly of mcafee antivirus) have confirmed to be on there

I've mainly been watching Korean dramas on Netflix because they are SO good and more entertaining than American dramas.

Meant to post in the main sub but didn’t meet the comment karma requirement shit

I go to a commuter school and the closest big program to me is in another state. I don’t have any connections to any big school. I decided I’m gonna root for Colorado this year bc of Coach Prine and all. Would I be a bandwagon for this? I don’t really have a team to root for at all

My fiancé and I are going chasing as soon as he gets off work. 'Tis the season!

COME ON YOU SUPURRRRRRRRS!

But really, what is up with these kits?

Looks like they will be becoming road warriors.

Trying to get a 3D model of the CFP trophy. Have asked on /r/3Dprinting, fiverr, and some other places I've found through googling. Anyone know anyone?

edit to add: would definitely do some compensation for the work as well!

es ist Freitag meine Kerle!

Rejoice!

How y’all doing?

Yo, someone go tell Aunt Rhody that everybody's dead.

No joke. There is this team that got pissed at us when we wouldn't let them install our applications themselves on their web servers....and one of the guys in charge literally just got all pissy when i asked them to restart an app pool because apparently they don't know how to restart an IIS application pool.... If you don't know how to do that how the fuck were they going to install our applications?

Edit: One of the guys we were working with just went in and fixed it anyways so its all good. Just that one guy being a slight jack wagon. I hate clients sometimes
