    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    To be blunt, with the apparent lag time between impact and cpr, I am assuming vegetative state, but would obviously love to be wrong.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Assuming DickTrickle was right and Hamlin was shoulderpadded at just the right point to cause Commotio Cordis, you then have to wonder if you can even defibrilate in shoulder pads, if medical staff spent too much time going through the (to be clear, far more likely) concussion checks before they...

    I would assume blood vessel rupture, either neck or heart?

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    To be clear, I think the Packers have a single digit percentage chance of winning any playoff games against the Eagles, Cowboys, or 49ers (hell, the Buccs could be rough), but I am still flabbergasted as to how many things had to go the way they did to get the Packers back to this point.

    This is going to be a long day for the Packers, which isn't much of a surprise.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Has anyone made an alt and run them through Adventure Mode? I just see constant sitting waiting for dragon riding resources to renew before you can fly to the next WQ.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    The fiscal cutoff for the tax writeoffs already happened, IIRC. And to be clear, we don't know what's going on in the background from a legal standpoint - there could be actor / director language that mandates theatrical releases (the Black Widow issue), or sponsorship deals they don't want to...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    I would hope this weekend gets people to realize that the Lions and Jaguars aren't the complete doormats they used to be. Hell, even the Bears kept it close vs the Eagles. Football is just better (imo) when both teams have a reasonable chance of winning any given game.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It 'feels' like there is less to do per week if you remove the renown rank related quests which we'll run out of before long anyway - I can't imagine we will get additional renown ranks until 10.1+. When you then consider that we won't swap covenants like Shadowlands, for quest content we're...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    As others have noted, the year ticker in the newest trailer now hits 2079. While I was always on the Shadowrun side of the fence, I don't recall any tabletop 2079 events, and Phantom Liberty certainly looks pre-base ending, so a 2079 setting for the sequel would line up well with a mostly reused...

    Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

    A) I would have liked it more had it kept a more comedic tone all the way through. B) I would have liked it more had it been 20-30 minutes shorter. Setup and the seventeen climaxes could have been pared down. Still my third favorite movie of the year (after Bullet Train and Top Gun), but then...

    Ticket sales. It's LA, no one's from there, unless they put out a semi-competitive product, everyone will go back to whatever they used to do on Sundays before the Rams moved back. And tiny chance they care about the Chargers instead.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    It's both very odd to fire the GM of a team who's about to win their division for three straight years and also entirely appropriate, given that the Titans are going to need massive bad luck from their competition for the Titans to stumble into the Super Bowl. But, IMO, if trading away...

    Didn't Mike and Rich do voices for Justin's new game? This seems like just returning the favor, as they generally don't tease guest spots. The irony being that Dan Harmon is the one from Milwaukee, unlike any of the boys.

    While that's one 70s ass cover for a book released in the 80s, it's also my favorite Bear novel, and it's a bummer to hear he died recently. Pournelle also died in the last couple years; I suppose the clock is ticking on Niven and Benford as well.

    I hope so, this season has been over for weeks. Between the finger and now the ribs, there is no point in his being out there, and we need to evaluate if Love is better than your standard veteran backup (e.g. Dalton).

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    A year where there's only one North playoff team, one South playoff team, and at most two West playoff teams, and three wildcards at play. That said, good on the Commanders (and the Giants, for that matter) for taking advantage of the rest of the NFC's issues.

    I thought the animation _might_ be the most tangential Star Wars Holiday Special linkage they could come up with, but if there were any specific references, I didn't catch them. Kind of a weird vibe with the heavy drinking at a gay bar and calling actors 'pieces of shit' for a holiday special...

    While Smart Football People predicted this somewhat (the NFC North and AFC South are a pretty easy schedule), most (myself included) predicted it would just be the Eagles and Cowboys taking advantage, and also getting free wins on the Giants and Redskins. I'm not sure a single person on earth...

    Why would Dallas not kick the field goal? If the Packers get in field goal range, they win.

    The Peripheral

    Well, if all tech in their timeline is derived from the future, the unrealisticness of it isn't an issue. Though I still quibble about 3d printers being able to produce future tech, unless massively better 3d printer specs were the first thing they sent back - well, over I suppose I should say...

    The Peripheral

    Whatever the present is (and I think its still vague if this is an alternate reality* from the future that diverged when they first made contact, or just a sim), the future can do whatever they want to it and not care. It seems like 3d printing was the real limiting agent - there's no point in...

    The Peripheral

    I just don't care about Current Era Drug Lord, nor do I see how he can be a long term threat. When I look back at Justified (the closest 'present' setting match), they constantly brought in new outside threats to mix up with Boyd, and even then, Boyd's continual survival got ridiculous. I don't...

    (I am guessing) Gunn and some second unit director took the B-team cast members from the GotG 3 set and filmed silly bits around the studio between major GotG setpieces. This isn't anything more than a fun throwaway ( / advertising for GotG 3).

    The Peripheral

    Honestly, that was my first impression after the pilot - that everything in 'the present' was a game. Given the time difference and whatever the depopulation event was, the odds of any of them showing up in the future were low to begin with, and 3d printers with future tech may as well be magic...

    To be clear, not only have I not read the book, I don't even know the plot outline. All my 'spoilers' were in relation to the TV show, spoiled just for people who haven't watched the episodes yet.

    The Peripheral

    I never read the book - I wasn't even aware Gibson had gone back to writing full on sci-fi after Idoru, etc. - but I liked it well enough, even if it is obviously of the Westworld era of sci-fi. That said....

    She-Hulk

    I dropped out after the first episode, but hey, Daredevil's back, and so am I. To their credit, if you are going to include any She-Hulk bit, it would be the John Byrne 'conflict'. But just so I'm clear, unlike people hoped for in the pilot, She-Hulk didn't realize she had her own anger...

    Honestly, I would have liked a little more introduction to the hunters involved - were they all unmodified humans? If the Black guy was a Wakandan, why hadn't they wiped our the monstrous threat before? etc. - but it was fine for an hour. Was pretty shocked to see Michael Giacchino as the...

    I dunno how easy it is to convert Red Engine geometry to Unreal, but given how you don't touch large chunks of the map (Prison, Spaceport, NW Arasaka HQ after the heist, everything but the coast of Pacifica, Power Plant, Medical Center, majority of mega-apartments, etc.), I am perfectly fine...

    Proper Spiderman movies are effectively Marvel productions, but Sony has veto powers over what Marvel proposes. Spidey-adjacent movies (Venom, Morbius, what have you) are entirely Sony productions, and can't even mention anyone other than Spiderman from the MCU, IIRC.
