Eh, the Bears, Jaguars, Bills, and Ravens all seemed fine, the Seahawks rallied with a backup QB, and the Texans didn't look terrible despite the loss.

As another then and still Pally main (which of course also makes me Alliance scum), virtually anything will be less painful than the launch ret (and in bands Prot) levelling experience. (Hell, my pally isn't vanilla, he's launch day - I even (only) played Pally in beta.)

Woof, I wasn't big on the Packers this year - people forget the whole reason Malik Willis got the job in Miami was he kept 'getting' opportunities to play, and the Packers O-line wasn't really improved this off-season to keep Love upright - but this is getting ugly. Edit: Yes, the Packers got...

There's the Packers defense / 'Special' teams to give the Vikings hope.

As a neutral observer its entirely likely the Saints and Panthers will be fighting for #1 in the division. I don't like your chances of winning a playoff game, but somebody's gotta win the division.

So much for defense winning early.

I thought Last Titan was set in Northrend. So immediately after we play through Northrend (again), we go back there? Let's hope the continent is seriously altered in the expansion.

I just can't get over MTX + Subscription for Forever. Yeah, the Forever dev effort is separate from Live and needs to be recouped somehow, but MTX on a Sub is the worst way to do it. Especially when there's no visibility on what / when the next MTX will be. Especially since there were no SoD...

Having Forever be part of the base sub means that Skyborne is a microtransaction race. I hate it - especially since it effectively establishes (since presumably they won't have boxed expansions) that new material is heavily MTX on top of the sub. Again, I hate it.

I still say personal housing is silly / divides the playerbase, even with guild neighborhoods, but a Guild House keeps everyone together - I would hope that's what they're going with (eventually).

I hate the name but otherwise what was expected (on average). Frankly I am fine with the forever 60 level cap - if the game doesn't start until level cap, then you can make the argument they shouldn't bother having a level at all (and just go ilevel).

They know everyone already knows Classic+ is _something_ and will end with that. They're hardly going to leave WoW Patch 12.2 coverage as the big closer.

They said open world for Starcraft, yes? Would be wild if we're getting our Destiny 3 from Blizzard.

I dunno about you guys, but I can't not wait for the Starcraft Extraction Shooter for mobile.

The downside to my first job being in a video store is my brain still is wasting neurons remembering things like P.S.: That's Monty Python's John Cleese singing!

I absolutely loved Mystery Men when it came out. I finally rewatched it recently and got nothing out of it. It may just be the (now fully revealed) politics of everyone involved, it may just be the sheer number of deconstructionist comic properties out there, but the charm is lost (for me, anyway).

You forgot MVP runnerup. As for AJ, that's better than an Achilles, but that looked like a lot of pain / high severity. I would guess more like half a season before he's back / anything like normal. Good luck with Doubs as a #1.

Exactly what Classic+ is _is_ the big question. Is it just a couple Season of Discovery seasons wrapped together that Blizz has the gall to charge a box price for? Or are some of the more extreme rumors accurate, and its closer to a completely new storyline for Kalimdor and the Eastern...

I can see a 'pre-purchase' beta starting in the next month or so, but launching to production with the changes this appears to have vs live (given the number of Blizzcon presentation slots apparently assigned to it) seems very risky.

Yeah, even if its not a serious injury, him missing (or even being limited) for a couple of games might be enough to give the Rams the division.

As someone who thought 2026 was also going to turn into the NFC Westoff, the odds on The Rams just rose big time. We'll see if the Drew Lock passing game is enough to give us any real info on if the Patriots are improved.

Is anyone actually calling it WoW 2, beyond an html reference? Because Wow _Branch 2_ is way more likely than WoW _The Sequel_.

I have to assume that actor's getting CGI replaced. Or is the issue the ridiculousness of the premise? Next thing you know, they'll try to launch a franchise involving a talking tree that says one word!

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...

Just a reminder, the 2025 Vikings went 9-8 (although the Packers rested everyone in the finale). The NFC North is anyone's game.

I don't believe the MCU has said if Heaven exists. Thor: Love and Thunder definitively said Valhalla exists in the MCU.
