A) I would have liked it more had it kept a more comedic tone all the way through. B) I would have liked it more had it been 20-30 minutes shorter. Setup and the seventeen climaxes could have been pared down. Still my third favorite movie of the year (after Bullet Train and Top Gun), but then...

Ticket sales. It's LA, no one's from there, unless they put out a semi-competitive product, everyone will go back to whatever they used to do on Sundays before the Rams moved back. And tiny chance they care about the Chargers instead.

It's both very odd to fire the GM of a team who's about to win their division for three straight years and also entirely appropriate, given that the Titans are going to need massive bad luck from their competition for the Titans to stumble into the Super Bowl. But, IMO, if trading away...

Didn't Mike and Rich do voices for Justin's new game? This seems like just returning the favor, as they generally don't tease guest spots. The irony being that Dan Harmon is the one from Milwaukee, unlike any of the boys.

While that's one 70s ass cover for a book released in the 80s, it's also my favorite Bear novel, and it's a bummer to hear he died recently. Pournelle also died in the last couple years; I suppose the clock is ticking on Niven and Benford as well.

I hope so, this season has been over for weeks. Between the finger and now the ribs, there is no point in his being out there, and we need to evaluate if Love is better than your standard veteran backup (e.g. Dalton).

A year where there's only one North playoff team, one South playoff team, and at most two West playoff teams, and three wildcards at play. That said, good on the Commanders (and the Giants, for that matter) for taking advantage of the rest of the NFC's issues.

I thought the animation _might_ be the most tangential Star Wars Holiday Special linkage they could come up with, but if there were any specific references, I didn't catch them. Kind of a weird vibe with the heavy drinking at a gay bar and calling actors 'pieces of shit' for a holiday special...

Well that escalated quickly. I take it next week is the last episode this season?

While Smart Football People predicted this somewhat (the NFC North and AFC South are a pretty easy schedule), most (myself included) predicted it would just be the Eagles and Cowboys taking advantage, and also getting free wins on the Giants and Redskins. I'm not sure a single person on earth...

Not going to be warm here tonight either.

Why would Dallas not kick the field goal? If the Packers get in field goal range, they win.

Well, if all tech in their timeline is derived from the future, the unrealisticness of it isn't an issue. Though I still quibble about 3d printers being able to produce future tech, unless massively better 3d printer specs were the first thing they sent back - well, over I suppose I should say...

Whatever the present is (and I think its still vague if this is an alternate reality* from the future that diverged when they first made contact, or just a sim), the future can do whatever they want to it and not care. It seems like 3d printing was the real limiting agent - there's no point in...

I just don't care about Current Era Drug Lord, nor do I see how he can be a long term threat. When I look back at Justified (the closest 'present' setting match), they constantly brought in new outside threats to mix up with Boyd, and even then, Boyd's continual survival got ridiculous. I don't...

(I am guessing) Gunn and some second unit director took the B-team cast members from the GotG 3 set and filmed silly bits around the studio between major GotG setpieces. This isn't anything more than a fun throwaway ( / advertising for GotG 3).

Honestly, that was my first impression after the pilot - that everything in 'the present' was a game. Given the time difference and whatever the depopulation event was, the odds of any of them showing up in the future were low to begin with, and 3d printers with future tech may as well be magic...

To be clear, not only have I not read the book, I don't even know the plot outline. All my 'spoilers' were in relation to the TV show, spoiled just for people who haven't watched the episodes yet.

I never read the book - I wasn't even aware Gibson had gone back to writing full on sci-fi after Idoru, etc. - but I liked it well enough, even if it is obviously of the Westworld era of sci-fi. That said....

The Packers shouldn't be favored in another game this year.

I dropped out after the first episode, but hey, Daredevil's back, and so am I. To their credit, if you are going to include any She-Hulk bit, it would be the John Byrne 'conflict'. But just so I'm clear, unlike people hoped for in the pilot, She-Hulk didn't realize she had her own anger...

Honestly, I would have liked a little more introduction to the hunters involved - were they all unmodified humans? If the Black guy was a Wakandan, why hadn't they wiped our the monstrous threat before? etc. - but it was fine for an hour. Was pretty shocked to see Michael Giacchino as the...

While their are exceptions (TB in TB, Stafford in LA), just a reminder that this is what most QB transfers look like year one.

Since people tend to miss these: The Coupon Code is: FREEQUESTS2022 (1/Account, available to redeem through October 31st, 2022) This Coupon Code will grant the following to your game account: Quest Pack: Central Gondor Quest Pack: East Gondor Quest Pack: West Gondor Quest Pack: Old Anórien...

Yeah, GLOW did it to her years ago. I didn't even recognize her the first time I saw

I dunno how easy it is to convert Red Engine geometry to Unreal, but given how you don't touch large chunks of the map (Prison, Spaceport, NW Arasaka HQ after the heist, everything but the coast of Pacifica, Power Plant, Medical Center, majority of mega-apartments, etc.), I am perfectly fine...

Alien civilizations shooting first and asking questions never due to the different potential curves of scientific advancement isn't a new concept by any means, from Saberhagen's Berserkers, to Greg Bear's Forge of God / Anvil of Stars, to Gregory Benford's Galactic Center Series, which despite...

Proper Spiderman movies are effectively Marvel productions, but Sony has veto powers over what Marvel proposes. Spidey-adjacent movies (Venom, Morbius, what have you) are entirely Sony productions, and can't even mention anyone other than Spiderman from the MCU, IIRC.

Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but mine is 100% of that movie that at least one of Yelena or Red Guardian aren't on screen for sucks. Then again, we don't need to hash out what a wet fart Phase Four has been (other than the movie that Sony owns, which is arguably more nostalgia than...

My god are the Packers going to get blown out when they run into their first healthy opposing offense. I have little hope for the Raiders (starting too far in the hole in a rough division), and hardly confident in the Colts either.

At this point I have zero clue who will be picking in the top five, and I love it.

Man, will Dalton start (and lose) for every NFL team before he's done?

Obviously some properties wouldn't work - as much as we _say_ we wanted Multiverse of Madness to focus more on other timelines, would a What If that entirely changed storylines, characters, setup, etc. every 15 minutes before the big team up at the end be comprehensible? Similarly, would...

Between Star Wars being dead as a movie franchise, and rather clear doubts about Cameron banging out an Avatar every other year, Disney can use all the Marvel films it can come up with. Besides, the majority of Marvel shows (and arguably Star Wars shows) would have been much better off as...

A) Most radio stations had a terrible ratio of bearable / bad songs, imo. B) You would almost never be driving long enough to hear an entire song, as any long distance would just be fast traveled. Given everything you have in your body, that you can't get an internal radio antenna to hear the...

Nah, as I've said before, everyone should have their 'home' team and their 'hopeful' - a team in the opposite conference, that has not been a recent (past 2+ seasons) playoff team, that they can root for without getting in the way of their home team, nor being a bandwagon-er. Obv. my home team...

Smart Football Twitter (TM) had the Eagles as a very high seed, from the combination of player skill and schedule - I think Aaron Schatz over at Football Outsiders had them as his NFC Super Bowl participant. I merely assumed they would be a high if not #1 NFC seed going into the playoffs. I'm...

I only read Three-Body - I just could not get over the flat translation - but is the top left photo a race swapped black Wang Miao and a white Shi Qiang? But yet they kept everyone else Chinese and presumably kept the Chinese Cultural Revolution backstory, even though that isn't _really_...

Pick only one of Reflexes (Handguns, Rifles, and Blades), Intelligence (Hacking / Spellcasting), OR Tech (Smart targetting guns and Lockpick), then dump the rest evenly into Body / Cool until you know what you are doing in the game and what you want to buy. Any time you see a computer, read the...

Expecting all open world games to match Saints Row 3 may be an unrealistic expectation. And yes, while I liked Cyberpunk 2077, even at the time I thought I'd rather play though SR3 (or even SR4, if you can get through the slow beginning repeat material from 3) again before I'd play through CP...
