    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Obviously, I'm happy the Packers won the cripple-off, but for the non-GB fans, you have to agree with Phazael & I - GB is wasting peak Rodgers hoping the dice come up with healthy O-Line AND the dice come up with lucky CB drafting while sitting on cap space each and every year...

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    None left at the stores I hit at lunch, so I have to ask: is Starfox 2 better / different than the roms that have been floating around?

    How the fuck did the Bears beat the Steelers? Are the Steelers just a firm (and distant) third in the AFC?

    Packers aren't even an average team with their fake O-line.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    It's been said, but... Why are there two college teams I've never seen playing on the NFL Network right now? (It's also been said before, but the number of teams with zero hope seems higher than ever. Bears, Jets, 49ers, arguably Bills... hell, the Browns might not be one of the 5 worst teams...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I've been saying Eli sucks for years, and I've been saying he'd still be the Giants QB for years - he would still have had a $32 million cap hit if they got rid of him this year. But that was future tense. He only has a $12.4 Mil dead money cap hit next season, and a mere $6.2 Mil dead money...

    Cardinals were fucked when they couldn't raise Zombie Carson Palmer back from the grave over the offseason. No Johnson is just pissing on that Zombie. It'll be a shame if Arians gets fired during the rebuild.

    It's been a pretty good slate today, but real football is London-started, 14+ hour days. It's coming in Week 3 & Week 4.

    The Luck-less Colts look like the Manning-less Colts. Brissett or Kaep starting there next week?

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Doesn't Reid have some crazy win percentage after a bye? Not sure why that wouldn't apply to season openers too. Otherwise, Pats still have no pass rush and little depth outside of corner. Brady looking rattled ain't a good sign though.. That said, no one is better at maximizing their roster...

    5 minutes into the season and all I can hope is fucking ROFLsburger can somehow beat the Patriots in the playoffs. This season sucks.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    You mean a team isn't close to throwing out one of the pillars of the newest CBA, approved by the players (since it put more money into the hands of veterans from newbies), and enraging the rest of the owners, for just one player, as good as he may be? Welcome to union contracts, Aaron. He can...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    "Preseason doesn't matter, but I'm not watching anything else, let's see what the new guys look like." One quarter in, and even with the starters on defense, a CB is injured and the Eagles scored on a play with multiple failed tackles. Why is GB a darling? I realize two AFC teams won't play in...

    Ready Player One (2018)

    I doubt it. I seem to recall some massive space battle "off-screen" between Evil Corp and team Protagonist because reasons (That's how little I recommend the book - I can't even name a character); that all the kids are wearing 101 gear suggests they're employees of Evil Corp and they've swapped...

    Ready Player One (2018)

    As someone who though the book was relatively pleasing nostalgia bait until it got bogged down in Deus Ex Machinas about artifact cool downs and Future espionage and speed read through the second half: 1) Am I supposed to know who Voldemort Hulk is? His well funded opponent? 2) What the fuck is...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    NFC North: Packers. CBs doom them in the playoffs once again, but they squeak by Detroit. East: Cowboys. Still the best O line on the planet. Giants are only awesome if Eli isn't done. Give me any evidence Eli isn't done. South: Falcons. After only Belichick, Dan Quinn has the most success this...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    There's been four New Star Wars Movies started. Out of those four: 1 director delivered his bland, repetitive movie and then apparently dropped out of the franchise. 1 director had half his movie rewritten and reshot. 1 directing pair got fired from their movie. Only Rian Johnson seems to be...

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    First impression: Only 20 games? They are totally going to sell additional DLC games through this, aren't they? Second impression: Star Fox 2 is a shrewd move for the retro crowd. IIRC, Super Mario RPG never made it out in Europe either, as the Square/Nintendo rift was already in effect...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I barely got into the mid 50s before I said "Fuck it" - now I only do the zone Emissary if I still need that mount and log. (Oh, and the even more chances per day for Nomi to burn your mats). It sounds like even the LFR crew will be done with Tomb for months before Argus shows up, so why should...

    Like usual, Ubisoft won E3. I don't even want to play most of their games, but they at least bring new stuff every year, delivered in a memorable (if rarely good) fashion. AAA Game of the Show: Wolfenstein Downloadable Game of the Show: The Last Night

    E3 2017

    My memory is fuzzy - did MS announce a single MS developed game? There are indie games they are publishing, like Ori 2, but anything developed by MS itself? Even stranger they didn't mention Halo 6. Unless Forza 7 wasn't officially announced before today.

    E3 2017

    Supposedly Bethesda learned the lesson and has designed dungeons / quests on each of the planets. But if all that means is that a random cave / Super Duper Mart has a different layout every time, who cares?

    E3 2017

    Amazon leaked this year's release date for Wolfenstein : The New Colossus. You would have to assume a lot of Quake Champions. There's a ton of chatter about Starfield - a hard sci-fi Elder Scrolls/Fallout style game with procedurally generated planets.

    E3 2017

    For most of us, who probably spent ~$499 on our video cards alone... I'm glad our PCs can run the bad ports of these games we'll get. It's the same thing we say every year - if they port the games to PC, there's no point in having the console, but if they don't port the games, the handful of...

    I hope to god MS and EA talking about online personalities is just them not having anything new to talk about it, and not what all the fucking press conferences will devolve into.

    E3 2017

    You are aware MS may not put out another 1st party game on a disc beyond Forza this year, right? Maybe Crackdown, but they don't have much else. And you can always throw more horsepower at car graphics without getting into uncanny valley territory.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    1) I'm kind of shocked the Jets realize the season is already over this early into the (pre-)season. 2) I assumed, and I assumed everyone else assumed, that unless the Patriots suffer numerous key injuries, they would waltz into the Super Bowl fucking yet again. But seeing analysis (napkin...

    Justice League (2017)

    I had no idea the dude was from Green Bay (cue everything really does suck from Green Bay, Bears-fans). I had no idea the dude was already 51 - he was ~38ish when his first movie came out. (I mean, there are guys like Jan de Bont who was 51 when Speed came out, but that seems old by modern...

    Honestly, given what we've heard about the show, that doesn't look bad! It also doesn't look like anything I will ever pay for. And yes, none of us give a shit about yet another prequel.

    Yeah, at least the Nightfallen campaign quests had some real meat to them. But this crap? Give me 100 doohickeys. Kill 100 demons. Do 12?20? WQs. How about get the fuck out. But if you do all of them, we'll give you another mount you won't use while you're waiting for how many months for...

    American Gods

    There's a reason for that, which I wish the show hadn't stepped on by keeping the cabbie's ID from the book. And I too was hoping Zorya Polunochnaya would go topless, to see how much was her and how much was costuming. You know, for science.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    All the 'stars' are 'leaving' the show because the only way they could make it cheap enough to keep on the air was by firing everyone. And speaking of cheap, that's the entire reason you're getting another season of SHIELD. It costs less in the long run to add one more 13 episode order of...
