Eh, it's not a positive sign, but its not a death knell either. Bungie's Chicago based, the Bellevue branch only started when MS bought them. And if you're not familiar with Bellevue, in a two block radius, off the top of my head, there's Valve, Pokemon, Sucker Punch, Tencent, and a dozen MS &...

Eh, I fully expect to spend my retirement playing multi-emulated games (both from console to PC, and from X86 to ARM or whatever they have at the time), that are then further modified with elderly mods to accommodate our old-age vision, reflexes, carpal tunnel, etc. I will survive without a...

This is almost certainly the last year of Watson _playing_ with the Browns, but this isn't the last year _his salary_ hits the Browns' cap. Edit: He currently has a clause in his contract that if he's on the team on the third day of the 2027 season, he has a guaranteed $200 Million salary in...

Obviously Alt-Classic will not be the continuation of the _World of_ Warcraft storyline. (Though I could see them eventually reusing prior expansions' landmasses, presumably with a new storyline.) But when Blizz effectively has two MMOs, one of which is: Recognizable Warcraft 3 Horde and...

Err, to clarify, I don't think 14.0 is Alt-Classic - 14.0 will be the state of the world however Last Titan wraps up, whereas Alt-Classic will be out looong before then, possibly even before The Last Titan launches. My question is, if Blizz has two ongoing branches of the WoW timeline, which of...

Seems too early for Last Titan material. While Blizzcon has occurred before the final patch launched - I'm virtually positive Shadowlands was announced before the N'Zoth raid for Battle For Azeroth was actually released - that we haven't even heard about 12.1.5 or 12.1.7 material, much less...

If they have hard evidence, it seems weird they haven't charged him already, unless 'negotiations' with the missus (aka paying her to drop the allegations) fell through.

I said I was done with this after Season 3 barring an upswing, and it sounds like that opinion shouldn't change. I would point out that (pre-release) PR photos for both Season 2 and 3 had scenes from their final episodes, so I am not sure anyone involved really considers this something that can...

Good? It's been flag football for years, and when Shedeur Sanders - statistically one of the three worst QBs in the league last year under nearly all overall metric systems - makes the field for it, the system is over. I do think it muddies the water between the All-Pro and Pro-Bowl rosters now...

Eh, 12.2 is Feb/March-ish, 13.0 is Septemberish, they gotta have something to cover Summer '27. And unlike last time, they can't even spackle over the gap with setting up / finding parts for Barbie houses. Blizz have painted themselves into a corner, however, as the least recently touched...

The Electrical Substation has grown so powerful Jed York won't even use his junk by it?

What the hell are criminal tools for prostitution - a burner phone? Also, while I expected both to start due to injuries, unless they just want Watson to get killed by the Jags, I don't get this...

I... think this is fine, so far? I get why this would trigger people's woke radar - with the exhausted established white man who's about to be shown up by the new minority replacement... if you weren't familiar with the 90s+ lore with Parallax. And boy, is there a lot of yellow in the greens in...

Actually, thanks - Noiselund's releases are so sporadic I missed this one

Given how much he took over the original X-Men movies, you should remember how much screentime he had in the First Class timeline. (The one exception being Days of Future Past, but that was really original timeline Wolverine). I still think its weird that they brought back the original cast for...
