Like most things, delaying the money due for years if not decades into the future depends on your perspective: Option 1: Much like the NFL with Void Years, MLB is just baking inflationary pressure into their contract structure. If players are willing to take inflationary haircuts for guaranteed...

I watched it on a plane and forgot it by the time I landed. It's yet another "Marketing spoils the 'twist'" movie (which itself is indicative there's not much going for the movie), along with a "Emotions overpower computer memory" movie. (You can make the argument one robot was jailbroken, but...

No sign McDaniel is edit: immediately getting fired, so presumably they want the GM hired to pick up the new coach once they know who to go after at the end of the season. Three words for you: Jim Bob Cooter. Tua can't realistically be bounced until 2027, but lord knows The Dolphins need quite...

Finished reading. It's fine, I guess - neither exceptional nor a drudge. Erikson is taking his sweet time getting to the Karsa Firework Factory. I was honestly wondering how he was going to wrap this up - as far as I recall, only one character appears in both books, and they weren't even named...

Let's be blunt, the Patriots lucked out getting the 2025 AFC North, NFC South (hell, even the Bucs are beat to hell), and four total games vs the Dolphins and Jets*. But their only quality win so far was vs the Bills - and they didn't even manage to beat the Steelers. They're absolutely in the...

Open app. Seven Cities. Assassins of assassins of assassins. Meh. Gonna be honest, Seven Cities is my least interesting landmass in the setting (especially since Chain of Dogs is mostly in the nameless wastes outside of the cities), but here's hoping Mallick's fat traitorous ass gets shanked.

We've had one game so far this week that wasn't decided by less than 11 points, and most by way more than that. Odds are the Chiefs and Steelers win by that much as well, so what a wet fart of a week.

The 49ers have been beat to shit but cobbling together wins for weeks, the Texans are not the first team I suspected would break that trend. Not getting that game in my area, did the Texans' D just decide to show up today? Speaking of showing up, will the Dolphins get a second win this year today?!

As usual, Community had the last word in in-show product placements, as they took Subway's money... and then made a storyline where 'brand ambassadors' legally changed their name to their corporation's name and shilled on campus.

Yeah, getting to mythic raid pickup group power level is the elbow in the progression curve, because a Mythic Trial Of Valor takes 15 minutes but nets you 100k Infinite Power. Heroic ToV might be worth your time, but otherwise just doing a daily run of pickup Mythic raids and then mythic...

Yeah, the Browns might claim two coaches this season. Which has to be pretty insulting to the Browns - "If we can beat your team, you should fire everyone!"

I didn't think the Brewers honestly had much of a chance to win the series, but I hoped we'd put up a little more resistance than that. Good luck American League.

Fucking lol. Blizz actually did it again, and nerfed players with too much Infinite Power in Legion. They didn't even pretend like players had used an 'exploit' (not that spawn rates that hadn't changed in a decade were an exploit) this time around, it's just "If you have more stuff than we...

You can un-Timewalking chars at any time in Legion (the square hourglass next to the character at the char select screen), just make an Alliance Legion alt, get them to 50, un-Timewalking them, then the dark irons _should_ unlock on both modes.

If you are asking about the racial armor set quests, Pandaria remix (and I would assume Legion) absolutely let you level a char up to 50 to unlock that _once the characters transferred to non-Timewalking state_. I have a collection of characters, one of each race, all from Pandaria remix, all...

Movies about making movies has been a genre for longer than any of us have been alive, why not have a Marvel entry. That said, everything in that trailer is probably in just the first episode. Also, what is the point of making this a Wonder Man _revival_, if you give the new guy the Simon...

Ugh, do I really have to watch Flacco Strikes Again in person?

There's definitely some weirdness with phasing / World quests. I didn't get any new world quests for a day and a half, then once they did start repopulating, you may have to progress in that region's questline far enough for that faction to NPC to populate. And yes, the content is phased, but...

I don't want to jinx it, but are we really going to get two complete Eagles collapses in three years?

Obviously no one liked having to decide to use your Bronze on upgrades vs cosmetics last time, but at least they kept all-cosmetic Bronze earn rates decent from the beginning - I'm not even level 40 and I've already earned enough Bronze to buy a dozen of the 10k new color variant mounts. Not...

Similarly to Runnen, I treat this as an occasional (whenever a .X release occurs) single player game that I also spend a small number of hours in each week farming 2+ expansion old raids when I'm in a collecting mood. My opinions are not those of someone actively playing the game normally. All...

Only five weeks in, and other than the Jets, everyone has a win and a loss. Which is good - both juggernauts and lost causes are bad for the fans. That said, it feels like at least a quarter+ of the league will be lucky to get four wins this year.

So the Jets are the only winless team? Which is weird, since I think I honestly prefer them over any of the 1-4 teams other than the Ravens. Speaking of the Ravens, I think they probably still crawl their way to the 7th seed (especially given how the Chargers are going), but I have no faith in...

Its pros and cons on both sides - Second team has less time to work with. Second team also knows exactly what they have to score to _not lose_, and therefore get to use the fourth down fully. Which of those outweighs the other is tough to say - but it does seem like the first team taking a...

It's been all blacks since Shakira / J Lo, they have to occasionally put someone else in. Not that I know what kids listen to - you really want a Machine Gun Kelly / Jelly Roll show?

Because with the mixed bag of #2 (if not #3) receivers we have, they want to limit the chances the Ghost of Favre possesses Love and changes close games to out of hand games.

Losing Nabers for the year is a high price to pay for that win, but frankly the Giants (and their fans) shouldn't be hoping for many more wins.

It's been decades since I've read any Asmiov, and I thought he had multiple non-temporal agencies in his stories over the decades that rewrote human society / history (which can be read as into Foundation if you like, but not specifically stated), but I thought his last published version in...

So the big selling point for the expansion is more voice over lines? I don't have any issues throwing ~$40 a year at them, but its hard to imagine this bringing in a ton of new players. (Honestly, I kinda wish they didn't have level cap raises so often, just because eventually replacing my...

Eh, I said in the Commanders game the Packers' offense wasn't great. Tucker Kraft got banged up midweek, then they lost multiple O-line players during the game. It doesn't matter if the Packers D holds their opponents to barely any points if barely any points is enough to outscore the Packers O.

Hey, Miami, with countrywide chatter that everyone is about to be fired, in what the Dolphins probably consider their Super Bowl this year... managed to be almost competitive. I still don't think the Dolphins end up with the worst _record_ in the league this year, but I think it's probably the...

So they decided to remake Be Kind, Rewind* - which already starred Jack Black! - but added a twist of a real snake attacking them while doing so? I suppose I have to give them half credit for something new, but this seems like the sort of thing I watch on a plane and forget by the time I land...

I think its safe to say the Raiders will not Commander and go deep into the playoffs this year. Which raises the question if Carroll will be around once / if the Raiders do get to that stage. As has been mentioned repeatedly, he's already the oldest NFL coach ever.

Add Purdy and amend that to two week stretch. Not sure any of us expect oldsters like Flacco or Rodgers to survive the season (hell, who knows about Stafford either). Part of this is the clear recent trend in the NFL that strong defenses (vs offenses) start well - "Get up there and kill the QB"...

Yeah, going to be hard to have a stupider play this season than the Steelers there.

Re: Burrow, I thought it was just a high ankle sprain on camera, but its being reported as a toe injury - could be looking at another Purdy situation. I didn't think the Bengals were a realistic 7th seed candidate, but that probably ends their chances.

The Dolphins are doing better this week, keeping up with a sub-.500 team, but they're all fired at the end of the year anyway - another appearance or two like last week and they may as well dismantle the team at the trade deadline, fire McDaniel, etc. and start their rebuild during this season.

I was actually thinking the Packers don't have that many points for how lopsided this game has been.

Wearing white (surrender) against a military themed team seems iffy.

As the closest thing to an illegitimate child / revival of Shadow Hearts: Covenant we will ever see, I was rather fond of it, even at full retail. Your mileage may vary depending on your love of (effectively) JRPGs, Active Time Battle systems, and Western Europe.
