    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Probably a dumb question, but how do First Aid, Cooking, etc. get started in Legion? Like others, I now have alts that never set foot in a garrison due to Invasions - will I be able to learn those skills in Legion or do I have to sit thru the Draenor intro 6 more times just to pick up the skill...

    Fallout 4

    That's about the last thing this game's legacy needed. I admit, I probably shouldn't have expected a game of the generation after Fallout 3 revamped the formula and I spent a million hours in Skyrim, but I do think I was justified in hoping for more than "Far Harbor was pretty good, that...

    Elliot's definitely not in jail for anything related to Tyrell (like I thought in Episode 1) - you don't get early release if you're connected with that era's Osama Bin Laden. It is something minor like the Therapist hack. But I still don't think Tyrell is alive. There's been way too many false...

    Sausage Party (2016)

    Yeah, its advertised as an R-Rated Pixar Parody, but it comes across as more of an animated remake of This Is The End than anything. My theater was pretty amused by the orgy, though going in blind, that was half the humor.

    I mentioned this on the old board, but if anyone wants my spot here or in Fun 2, they are more than welcome to have it, just too busy prior to the Sunday games.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I can't wait to watch two episodes, think "Ok Fuller, only for your sake I'll come back to this eventually", and then never watch it again.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I like this year - I have no clue who 'should' win a lot of the divisions, and that's even before the injuries kick in. But to preserve for future mockery: NFC North - Packers East - Cowboys West - Cardinals South - Panthers WCs - Seattle, Vikings (Though honestly, I could see 3+ teams winning...

    I haven't read about Legion but DHs basically start at 100? I can safely use my level 100 Boost on a gathering alt I haven't touched since mid-Pandaria?

    Mr. Robot

    Dude, the amount of state-sponsored Russian and Chinese hacking of the US that goes on is staggering. The idea that the Chinese would aid a hacker plot to destabilize the American economy (and then kill everyone involved) is about the least preposterous thing that has gone on in this show. I'm...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I think the Broncos could still win the division. But that's more because I'm not sure it will take more than 10-6 to do so. Still rooting for Oakland, just because they were crap for so long, and because you can't really criticize how they were rebuilt. (Seriously, the AFC West would be...

    The Nice Guys (2016)

    This is a Shane Black-ass movie. If that sentence made sense to you, then go see it when you can. It won't change your world, but it is probably my #3 movie for the year after Cap3 & Deadpool. (Also, this has been a poor year for movies.)

    GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 announced available May 27th

    I bit the bullet and bought a 1070 last week. There's always something newer in the future AND unless you are using a 144Hz or 4K display, the 1070 should cover you at 1080p for years.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Except that all the rumors have this as being a sub-$300 device, and there is no evidence the X2 could cost that little. There's also no reason why Nvidia would burn some of their top lines on mass producing a chip they make dick on, rather than just selling Nintendo the excess X1 capacity they...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I could be wrong, but AFAIK this isn't correct. While the CPU on both the 3DS and the Tegra are ARM11s, the GPU is not - it's a PICA200 in the 3DS. And the only reason the 3DS can play DS games is because they threw in an ARM9 chip the DS ran off of in the 3DS as well. It's theoretically...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    They'd just have you hold it sideways - I believe the 2DSes are already one single screen under the casing, it just ignores touch inputs on the top half. Holding the controller halves would be a bit troublesome though while the screen is standing. I do have one major complaint that I forgot -...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Eh, take a Wiimote, give it a real joystick (as opposed to a cross) and round the edges more. It won't be that bad, and there will undoubtedly be a Pro-style controller. Personally, I'm pretty happy with this set of "reveals" - the dark rumors for a while were that there were two devices...

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    I also hope they're just holding out on the rogue-Amazonians-plotting-to-take-over-the-world she has to defeat, because not only do the germans pose no threat to her, unlike the Nazis (and Hydra) of Captain America, the Germans weren't even the "bad guys" of WW1 - most historians would pin that...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    That's a bummer to me, I was hoping for something set post-DS9's Dominion War, with a damaged Federation in an uneasy peace with Kardassians / Romulans / etc. The furthest the shows have gotten is the few bits in Voyager (ugh, you made me remember Voyager) with Barclay back home, right? Kind...

    I no longer automatically believe any scene with Elliot in it. I do believe Gideon visited him - look at the blocking, they're clearly on opposite sides of the visitation glass / dining room chair, plus Gideon goes to the FBI afterwards. I do believe he talked to the prison guard with the dog at...

    Mr. Robot

    Just watch the 5 minutes of his routine again, it has to be a prison, not a psychiatric facility: An authority figure opens up his room using a sliding (not hinged) door - he's apparently not allowed to leave said room until then, at which point he has to get dressed and fix his bed. He then...

    I'm not even an internet lawyer but the only other option for Brady is to petition the Supreme Court; however, the Court is out of session until September 26th, and even then they are unlikely to even look into the matter for months after that. This thing is happening, and with three strong...

    E3 2016

    My opinions: EA: I don't expect much out of EA, and even by that standard, I was probably underwhelmed. We'll see how long Titanfall's online player counts last, BF1 may as well be a skin, and little to no info on Mass Effect or the Star Warses. 4/10 Bethesda: Dishonored never worked for...

    As half the internet has mentioned, it's a poem on the Statue of Liberty (The New Colossus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), which sure sounds like a sequel in New York.

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    I realize this is the internet, and everything is either the best or the worst ever, but I can't even call this "bad" - the worst I'd put it in is "Wait for DVD" territory. Considering how great X2 and First Class were, that's reallydisappointing, but the movie itself is notbad. Seeing them...

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    Movie Apocalypse had no mind control, hence his move to steal the Professor's powers at the end. The real answer is just bad writing. You can wave away Psylocke and Archangel as being mercenary, and Magneto as self-interest, but there's no way to justify Storm's "Apocalypse will make the...

    I thought all the Cowboys fans go on and on about how Stephen has locked his senile old man up in the attic and makes all the personnel decisions? Elliott isn't a bad pick, just not sure he's a good one, given what they've spent and how easily you can seem to find guys.

    Elliott had better be Adrian Peterson reincarnated to warrant that pick. Then again, the Dallas O-Line should make him look great right off the bat.

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    I thought as soon as the first movie came out, Vaughn was like "If I make a sequel, I can always say Firth was shot in his bulletproof eyeglasses, not killed, and put him in an advisory role." Which while dumb, works for me - Galahad was so over-competent that the only way they could have...

    Err, I am legitimately confused here. I thought the Kaepernick deal was extremely team friendly as is - the 49ers can cut him in any year with no real penalty. So Kaepernick isn't going to sign a multi-year extension with the Broncos just to guarantee _this year's_ 49ers' salary? Does he not...
