    NFL 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

    Weird Al would be an awesome half time show, he puts on a killer live performance and he has the #1 Album this last few weeks. Also, I think the Patriots drafted the best QB of the 2014 class.

    Was like 2 wins from Legendary playing Mad Scientist hunter (with some changes, namely replacing Explosive traps since I stopped seeing Zoo) then I kept hitting a wall of Priests and Control Warriors that at best I was winning ~45% of the time. Also, the Hunter mirror seems to come down to...

    Both Webspinner and Haunted Creeper are what made Midrange Hunter viable again, before Naxx it wasn't that great of a deck after they nerfed Unleash.

    Yeah he broke pretty much all of Romo's records at Eastern Illinois, so who knows. Patriots drafted him higher than most thought he'd go so maybe they think he can be Brady's replacement eventually.

    I'm not talking about Kolento's version of Hunter that had already removed Traps and Bows - there was another more controlling version that's been in the rank 1-5s that was pretty much 3 cards off from the build Reynad streamed. He also didn't invent it anyways, some dude on Hearthpwn posted...

    Because it already was a complete deck, it's just the stock Midrange Hunter deck from last week with less removal and add 2 Mad Scientist/1 Leeroy. Mad Scientist is just that good, the ultimate tempo play. Deathrattle Hunter beats it consistently, really any Face strategy does - but unless...

    Been playing Control Hunter with Spectral Knights - card is beast. Most people auto concede to the Turn 4 Coin+Spectral Knight, Turn 5 Loatheb, Turn 6 Highmane.

    NBA 2014 Off-Season Thread

    Also Love and Varajao are guaranteed to miss 15-20 games each, they always do. Love hasn't proven he's anything but a stat whore either. This Cavs team may be better than last year's Miami team, but no way are they better than 2011-2012 Miami Heat.

    Still not a better team than the Spurs or Thunder, maybe not even the Clips or Mavs. If Rose is 100% they may be worse than the Bulls, too. Unless Blatt's offensive genius can offset their lack of defense or bench.

    From like 17 to 9 so far. The zoo seems to be thinning out some though - seeing a lot of the Control Warrior deck posted earlier.

    Cowboys sign Tyron Smith to 8-year $98-million extension, $40 million guaranteed. Top 3 LT in the league, who hasn't even turned 24 yet - that's the position you give a long term contract to. Still in awe from when he stoned Robert Quinn last year, probably the only game he got shut down.

    Would absolutely not be surprised if the next Nintendo console/handheld pair has the ability to stream HD games from the console to the handheld just like the Wii U and it's Gamepad, for Off TV play. This would mean the next console could have a regular controller (maybe the Wii U Pro...

    Wii U

    They have already said that their next console/handheld offerings will be using the same OS so that is very possible. I think there is still a market for a dedicated handheld gaming device, but the market has obviously shrunk. I absolutely hate touch screen gaming outside of puzzles games...

    It wasn't as good as Galaxy 1 and 2 (which are two of the best games ever made, period), but it's still a very good game. It's more fun with multiplayers.

    Wii U

    No, Nintendo having to leave the console business would be worse for everyone. Then you'd only have 2 samey consoles to choose from and no one actually innovating or trying new things for MS and Sony to copy. It also wouldn't mean Nintendo games would start showing up on the other consoles...

    I don't think it supports Flash - but Twitch recognizes it as an HTML5 enabled browser and the streams switch over to that. The chat and videos in Twitch don't work but everything else does - just go to a stream page, click the play button, watch the add, and then hit the full screen button and...

    Yeah that shit is on Netflix for it being bad, both Amazon Prime app and the Internet Browser are fantastic with the gamepad. Wii U is almost always streaming Twitch streams on my TV when I'm home.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Microsoft is also laying off 18,000 employees, around 12,000 of them from the absorbed Nokia division. Big changes coming to Microsoft - the new guy may just kill off Xbox and switch to mobile, he sure loves mobile gaming.

    They are a small (comparatively) toy company, not a multi-divisional technology behemoth like Sony or Microsoft. Of course they are going to be behind the times when it comes to some stuff - I doubt they even had a networking team/architects to develop something to rival the PSN/Xbox Live until...

    There are definitely games I will buy when they come out, I'm more talking about buying games I may only be slightly interested in - I'd rather just wait them out. I also don't know if it would take 3 years for them to be in rotation on Plus - a game that released recently (Dragon's Crown) was...

    No, they aren't comparable. I have PS Plus, and it actually disincentivizes me from buying games because I know they will eventually be free. There are no games out for PS4 I feel like I can't wait for to play - only PS3/Vita game I've bought in years was Dark Souls 1 and 2 (and I'll be buying...

    The PS4 didn't sell at a profit at launch - it may now with the cost of the hardware having gone down since it launched. It was definitely closer to profitability than the PS3 which some speculated cost them around $900 to make per console when it launched. Couple factors at work here: 1)...

    Wii U

    They literally can't make a console equal to the PS4 and XB1 (or whatever the current generation is). They are a toy company, and they have no other divisions backing them up like Sony and Microsoft if they fail. Their consoles have to break even or sell for profit with 1 game sale, they...

    He went from 37% down to 26% in the last year, but it shot way up after he got promoted to AA a month ago. I'd give him some more time to adjust to a new level of pitching - same adjustment will be needed when he moves up again. He'll always be a high K rate guy, but I'd wager he'll be closer...
