Who cares about that, it's Jeff from Coupling (British) as Lead Dude. (I still find it weird seeing Steve in the Pirates of the Carribean movies.)

I am eagerly awaiting but also intentionally not watching previews for this. I guess the gameplay is Bastion + VATS, essentially? And I assume everyone is an AI in some computer-world?

Bleh, I made the mistake of skimming through that script (and stopped even doing that after I saw verbatim chunks of dialogue from the second trailer), but the script makes the movie situation (apparently) clearer: this isn't the start of the downslide, this is decades after the low point...

My only show that got the axe was Community; finding my reaction to be mostly indifferent, even to the re-Harmonized version.

Brady is getting old, and Mallet has to be paid or released soon. Not particularly surprised, and who would you prefer here instead? McCarron?

Frank Gore is old, and virtually everyone runs with two+ RBs nowadays.

Titans have the next pick - and only have Shonn Greene for a "real" RB. Wouldn't shock me if first RB goes here.

Had to go out to dinner, so my quick takeaways: 1) Shocked one of the two safeties was still around for GB, without having to spend picks to move up. Fucking awesome. 2) Bucs really are aiming to be Bears South, with the McCown to Vincent Jackson/Mike Evans combo. 3) To be honest, the Browns...

On one hand, I heavily expect the Raiders to trade down. On the other hand, McKenzie seems to legitimately worry for his job and needs a star, despite the terrible hand he was dealt with to start.

Guy on the Dave Dameshek podcast this week said the teams do it intentionally on their own, since the announcers aren't talking about any other team during those ten minutes, and like anyone else cares about the, say, Browns the rest of the year. The first five minutes they probably are...

Seriously, when was the last year the #1 pick wasn't overwhelmingly clear the day after the college regular season ended? The amount of human effort expended on nonsensical theoretical #1s every year stuns me.

Archer Renewed for Seasons Six & Seven

Sigh, the Packers get to be the first win-less team... for a week, at least. And congrats to the Redskins for beating the Cowboys on SNF to win the division on Dec 28th. Not the team I was expecting to win that division, but the tradition must live on.

Miriam Lass was brainwashing, not amnesia. Chilton's entry wound looked survivable - that exit wound did not. Gonna be disappointed if he lives.

I won't say I didn't like it, but the things I found most entertaining were the Danny Pudi cameo and just how much in the River Tam / Illyria mold Scarlet Witch turned out. Much like Thor 2, I think the script needed another pass or three.

Removing cooldowns doesn't bother me (just raise non-cooldown damage by X and call it a day), other than the hint of "We can't come up with unique effects for every spec, so we'll just remove existing ones from the other specs until every spec has an equal number." I still have zero faith in...

It feels like the mathematical average of Season 3 (the good of Chaos Theory averaged with the "bad" of Drematorium). Next week is the GI Joe episode. I'm already prepared for it to not be half as good as Venture Bros' OSI/Sphinx shenanigans.

I appreciate that, knowing next season is the end, they are shrinking the longterm cast down to the inevitable Boyd vs. Raylan showdown, while finally giving Boyd foot soldiers of a competence level equal to his stature in the crime scene (and capable of not getting taken down instantly by the...

1) A lot of times with first time head coaches, they raid the side of the old team they were responsible for. The only relevant Bengal is Tackle Anthony Collins, and I hear the Redskins are indeed interested. 2) With a rebuilding team, the wise move is to just not get involved, at all, for 48...

I do admit to liking the Broncos going for it in the little time they have left with Manning. The 2016 or 2017 version of the Broncos is going to be terrible, but at least they are giving it a shot while they can.

Unless the Raiders have some dirt on Veldheer, paying Saffold instead of him seems way dumb. Maybe I'm just a homer after all, but I was expecting better out of the new (Packers-derived) management. Also, the Browns letting Ward go and bringing in Whitner seems way dumb too. So far in the...

Considering how consistently terrible the teams with the most room have been*, it will be interesting to see how much they have to overpay to get anyone. Personally, if I were them, I wouldn't pick up anyone on day one or two, then give the guys that fell through the cracks slightly less than...

Wouldn't even the beginning of Fall be one of the longest gaps they've had? Why the heck did they have a more aggressive raid schedule in MoP if they are going to have that large a wait for the next expansion - especially with all those Titan people sitting around looking for work. Does...

Friday Update: Fox renewed all their scripted shows (New Girl, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Following, and even The Mindy Project) - except for Dads (almost certainly dead), Rake (definitely dead), and Almost Human (guess for yourself). That said, my opinion hasn't changed. Fox canceled the show...

Xardoz. And no, it just seems like a generic pastiche of futurism fears, not anything in specific - it just looks like something from the 70s because of the low budget.

Let's be perfectly clear here: The treatment AH has received is that of a show Fox wrote off in Week 3 or so (scheduled in holidays, opposite the Olympics, no backorder, not admitting no backorder (because everyone in the industry knows what that means) for as late as possible, etc.) The...

Err, didn't everyone think the cap was going to explode a couple years ago, and then nothing? Sure, there is the CBS TNF deal (minus whatever losses from the NFL Network as a result), but I don't remember any other major TV deals upcoming.

Reading through the online coverage, is anyone else not surprised by I just assumed every major lore character would get taken off the board* in some way, as Lore character A and slightly different history Lore character A' handing out quests next to each other would get really silly. *I...

Not quite. Massive scifi-opera operating in what the previous movies suggested was just the real world, weird not-human-but-look-like-human races, freaking enemies named necro-somethings? This is going to end up like Chronicles of Riddick. As far as the summer as a whole goes, I liked to...

I haven't paid attention to EQ in years, but I believe Kreugen has the correct summary: There was a short dark period, where if you got an Accuracy (hit) piece you might have to swap three other pieces to make up for the Strikethrough (expertise) you lost in the upgrade. To solve that problem...

If Feb / March NPDs are as bad as assumed for MS, they'll likely stop shipments in mid-April, and restart them with a Kinect-less, cheaper SKU announced at E3 and available in stores that week. And I've been saying for months, E3 2014 will be the mother of all moneyhats for MS. Shadow...

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise: Gamasutra - Irrational Games, journalism, and airing dirty laundry

1) Save Our Show campaigns are pointless. When even "People spending money" campaigns (peanuts + shipping for Jericho, Subway for Chuck) results in renewals with no ratings increase, there's no reason to suggest that something as low effort as clicking a button sways anyone - the ratings will...

Given how little effort it takes to hit 90 (especially with heirlooms the 2nd+ time around), this should be priced so highly that it is clearly only for people with more money than sense/time. They properly hit that. Disclaimer: My lowest level out of the 11 classes is 86, so it would literally...

Can you guys really not read PR? "2K is closing us down, but is still keeping me on contract with a limited budget. I'm taking the blame (and should, since it was my job keeping Irrational profitable enough to stay alive)." I've been saying it for years: the future is 20 disc based games a...

Yet again, the unmentioned story is Nintendo's worrying sales... of the 3DS. Sub 130k, when all of the existing tentpoles (they still have Smash coming, unlike previous gens) are out, is just not good. I'm not sure even the GBA-ish sales arc they were mirroring is believable anymore. Or to...

Can someone explain why this Sam deal is the overwhelming story of the NFL right now? Wasn't there some openly gay kicker last year that was trying to get on a roster? Why's everyone going nuts just because this guyshould, as opposed tocould, get drafted? I'm confused.

God Cleveland is a tire fire.

Vorph has the correct conclusion: It's (Gran Turismo) Metal Gear Solid 5 Prologue, but priced way more expensively.

Add a bye week (best solution for that is to get rid of the fourth preseason game), have every TNF game take place after a bye week, done. We've covered this before.
