    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Venthyr / Kyrian are utterly terrible, bordering on flat out broken, having to outlevel normal missions by +5, and elite missions by +10 or more as soon as you get into the high 20s. The absurd heal costs don't help either.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I'm sure someone has written a 'Fall of the Old Guard' article with Rivers & Ben going out. Rodgers, Brady, and Brees all playing next week won't be mentioned.

    Eh, I thought WAS would be able to annoy TB harder than this.

    Come on Rams, you can pull this off! ... because I'd much rather the Packers have a QB-less, Donald-less Rams next week, and Saints/TB would be more fun to watch.

    Congrats Bills! (Also congrats KC, who will now be heavily favored in any matchup throughout the rest of this postseason.)

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I haven't looked at the odds, but I assume I am going with the favorites: BUF over IND Poor Rivers, after changing teams, he still runs into a buzzsaw from the AFC East. As for the Bills, I am not betting against them until they face KC, and maybe not even then. SEA over LAR Seattle isn't as...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    The argument is that the Texans need to fix so much before they are competitive again that most of Watson's window will be over by that point, so get what you can for him now. I would say that teams like the Dolphins show it doesnt take years to get to 8-8, but the Texans also have nearly no...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I gotta say, TB beating up on the NFC Least champion, passrushing the hell out a sleepy GB, then squeaking out a win after the Seahawks and Saints knock the crap out of each other, is probably the most believable route for them to get to the SB.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    None of the 'Marvel' Spiderman movies have done it for me, much less his non-union Mexican equivalent in Morbius (I heard parts of Venom were okay, but I've never been willing to pay to see it). It is weird (or a sign of how quickly Sony has been hammering these out) that Spiderman 2 went from...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Packers likely lose tomorrow, so they will go all out for Bears game next week. I don't know the tiebreaker situations well enough to know how the #1 / #7 seeds will play out. That said, I can't imagine anyone thought the Cards would be a legitimate contender in the playoffs. I will say that...

    Mike (with an assist by Jay, I assume) put in the editing work on this one. It's a Christmas miracle!

    Uhh, the Panthers have a slim chance of winning regardless, but why not the onside kick there?

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    Non-sarcasticly, if you somehow just got a computer, that list would keep you occupied for all of 2021. Though Fallout 4 on Christmas just seems rude, as it is both one of the oldest and mediocrely reviewed games on that list.

    Is there a specific reference to Pierce from Saints Row and strapons I am forgetting? It's not even a dildobat.

    The Game Awards 2020

    1) You just watch the new announcement compilation after its over. 2) Historically, the voters are a pretty respectable group, though oddities like DA3 do sneak through and make you wonder how the voting system works.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's not that the amount Anima is excessive, its just that their idea of content, FOR WEEK TWO OF A NEW EXPANSION, is to add a gate to your gate, so you can wait while you wait.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Getting hammered at work so I only hit the covenant halls this week, and seeing 'Fuck you until you've done 1K anima worth of World Quests' three hours into being at level cap made me consider dropping my sub already. Aren't souls already the time gating mechanism, and anima intake limits your...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Broncos apparently got nailed because the qbs neither had masks nor the contact locators on them, and were in a qb room together for hours. Some penalties have been stricter than others, but there were also self-inflicted circumstances in most of those cases.

    Total Recall (1990)

    Teen me always thought Total Recall was better than Terminator 2. Cynical adult me recently rewatched Total Recall and realized how small the budget is vs Term 2 or modern blockbusters, and while I can't say TR is better anymore, I appreciate all that they were able to make with their budget.

    Uhh, people can do math and realize how many days are involved with the extremely common Sunday, Sunday, then Thursday game schedule, yes? (Or even Monday Sunday Thursday, if it has ever happened.) Don't get me wrong, the NFL should just cave and add another floating bye week for scheduling...

    I don't think the Packers are even good this year, much less prohibitive favorites, which will probably start to be clear when they lose to the Colts this weekend. I'm not _entirely_ willing to write off the Saints without Brees, as someone gets the 7th seed, so they just need to stay ahead of...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I can see classic losing some subs in BC then picking up steam again once they hit LK, which should subsidize a couple more Retail expansions. I don't know how many people have real nostalgia for Cataclysm (Classic 2.0) or Draenor (BC 2.0) though.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The smartest way to play the game, for years, has been to sub for a month at launch, sub for a month at the tail end of Expansion.1 / beginning of Expansion.2, another month at tail end of Expansion.3/Expansion.4, repeat. Unless you are really in love with raiding or haven't broken your...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    I am going to be a contrarian and say I don't get it. It's not like Wonder Woman needs to come out or the plotlines to The Batman a d The Suicide Squad won't make sense, and with production as shuttered as it has been this year, it's not like WB will have a huge roster to put out next year...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Compared to the demonic invasion prepatch (Legion?), this is a god damn slog, trickling out loot that will be irrelevant in weeks regardless, with the high point being a couple extra inventory slots (compared to the, what, Draenor bags most of us have on our alts?). If this is their sales pitch...

    Is the bag why people are killing the nameds? After doing so much Icecrown for all the mounts / pets / etc. back in the day, I ran through the 'new' quests in five minutes and left.

    All sarcasm aside, who is the Pats' QB next year, especially when the pick could be anywhere from top 5ish to middle of the pack?

    The scenario I would hate the most is 49ers stick with Garappolo on a one year deal that's reasonable for both sides... ... then Rodgers is traded for / gets released to make way for Love and comes back to California.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Uhh, Siddig and Robinson always played Garak and Bashir as if they were flirting. The twist would have to be that Dax has swapped to an S&M leather daddy (or whatever the term is) and they have a gay poly relationship. O'Brien, as the last straight white male on the show, would either never be...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Given how the rest of new trek has turned out, why do you want them desecrating that horse too? Picard already establishes the future sucks, so the question is just which talking point(s) the show actually consists of ( vs the material they were supposedly reviving). I am thinking it becomes...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Well, given that playoff ticket prices are higher than average and player playoff salaries are much lower than average, every (home) playoff game is going to result in significant additional net income. That said, the Packers situation is weird from an accounting perspective. I would suspect...

    They charged them, but they then refunded the money or are holding it for 2021 tickets. https://www.packers.com/tickets/season-ticket-holder-policies Refunds shouldn't be income, and even if those 2021 fees count as 2020 income, that's just shorting their 2021 income. AFAIK, the NFL is only...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Only the first place seed in each conference gets a bye, so that week off will be the only edge if the playoffs get bubbled to a neutral field. Not that I see that particularly working for orgs the size of NFL rosters. I could see Hotel decontaminations and detentions for the week(s) a team is...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Well, the early coach firings seem to suggest owners are treating this like a lost season, and figuring they may as well reset early. Speaking of covid, as soon as a team can't merely reschedule to get all their games in, the NFL will _have_ to give everyone another bye week for fairness...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Shocking, an expansion with a squish left us weaker than the day before. Like usual, the crappier your gear, the relatively weaker you are after the squish, but it seems extremely noticeable this time around. Guessing TTK is double if not quadruple what it was yesterday.

    Yeah, the Chargers are really gonna lose this. Given how injury ruined so many teams are, it will be very interesting to see the final records of the worst divisional winner and wildcard. Do we finally see a 6-10 playoff team?

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    I am not even an internet accountant, but Netflix has lost billions every year. There was some talk things were about to come to a head in 2020 when the pandemic led to a bunch of new subscriptions which pushed any potential reckoning down the pike.

    Yeah, going for it did not make sense, kicking a field goal means Seattle has to get a touchdown and a 2 point conversion just to tie. Now Seattle has to just score a touchdown and they win.
