    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, Safety Dance + the LK mechanics without death is pulling teeth with a pug. And this is with the higher geared primaries, as opposed to alts and casuals later. I dunno who thought this was a good plan.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    All sarcasm aside, the worry is that the Ravens showed too much yesterday, and left too much tape* for Darth Bill to pick apart in January. After all, the only thing that matters is ending the Patriots playoff run. *Not that a game has been recorded to tape or film for who knows how many years.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Wait, if the 2022 trilogy isn't them, and all signs are it's not Ryan Johnson, who the hell is running it? Because one off creatives per movie worked so well this time.

    The Outer Worlds

    Everyone keeps calling it Space Vegas but its way more Kotor 2, um, Two. KotoR: The Space Lords? Basically you have Kotor 2's morally gray world, mixed with some pretty significant divergences for the "light" / "evil" branches, easily missable side quests, shoebox sized 'worlds', and the...

    The Outer Worlds

    That Normal is too easy and Hard is waaaay too hard until you get enough perks / skill points is a common complaint.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Certainly seems to line up with the common spoilers out there. Given that those made me shrug, that's not changing my current opinion to wait until proven otherwise.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Why would you kick a Field Goal down that much with only 20 minutes left? At least the Bears went for it.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    As a Wisconsinite, I'm not impartial, but assuming the Packers and Vikings win, the Packers are the worst team relative to their record, and the Lions are the best team, yes?

    The Outer Worlds

    Honestly, I am happier this is shorter than F3 / F:NV / Skyrim have been. I'd like to at least look at Jedi Fallen Order & Red Dead PC as well before Cyberpunk steals all our time.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    There is no way the Ramsey trade makes sense for the Rams. Keep in mind, they still have to pay the guy next year. ...Unless they are secretly in Win Now mode. This team is going to be highly boom or bust for the next half decade in a division with two other teams that shouldn't be going anywhere.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    The Lions were the better team tonight. This is going to be an interesting division down the stretch.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    1) Fuck the Pats. 2) That said, Bill is arguably the best coach in NFL history. 3) Brady is also one of the best QBs in NFL history, likely the best if you curve by duration. 4) Bill is also a very good though not exceptional GM, especially if you curve by duration. 5) The long-term combination...

    I had hoped the short week would let the home team Packers have a decent chance. I was wrong.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I finally get done with Murder Force just in time to start the Bee Mount grind. Cool. The biggest wildcard is the (still encrypted) conclusion of the War Campaign. It's rather indicative of the expansion as a whole that the Blizzcon reveal could be a massive 8.3 release, a tiny 8.3 raid leading...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Darnold will come back at some point, and the Jets will win a game before Miami does.... right?

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I _think_ the Eagles and Rams will improve, but yeah, the Cowboys seem to be the leader followed by the Vikings and Seahawks in the NFC. Or to review, the Patriots and Cowboys are the teams to beat. This season sucks already.

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    Good lord is that service stillborn. But yeah, the premise for See is so bonkers it's fascinating. Why wouldn't wolves and big cats have wiped us out at the beginning? How do battles work? Blindly swinging at the enemy until you accidentally nail your comrades? Do tribes just have really...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Any day the Packers can go into Chicago and make the Bears cry is a good day. But I saw nothing here to indicate the Packers aren't the third best team in the division, and even less to think they will take one of the two wildcard spots vs the 49ers, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, Cowboys, etc.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Hey guys, remember when Miami picked up Ndamukong Suh despite having no financial room for him and frankly not enough team around him to benefit from him for anywhere near the asking price? Can you imagine if another team made the same mistake this year? Oh wait, its the Dolphins, they can't...

    Joker (2019)

    This seems less like _a_ Joker's origin story and more of "What if Tyler Durden went mainstream instead and turned into a celebrity/politician?" (If, indeed, there is any functional difference anymore.)

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    2019 has been a pretty terrible year for movies. Nothing was great. ThunderCap portion of Endgame and John Wick 3 were really good, Spiderman and the rest of Endgame were fine, Shazam and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood just weren't my thing. I haven't even gotten around to catching up on Alita or...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Maybe I'm angry drunk, but this has me super salty. It would be one thing if he couldn't play, but the major injury is an ankle sprain? Way to fuck over the team, when they have no options this late other than pick up a cast off and have him learn the playbook. (Jake Brisket has been...

    Legion

    Just so I'm clear, the abbreviated season count meant the finale had to have both a babyface turn and a Deus Ex Machina to 'wrap up' non-disastrously? Yeesh. Double demerits for suggesting 'Rape a dude and send him to jail for it, confined to a mental institution before she ever met David' Syd...

    The Orville

    The Orville was one of the last shows New Fox picked up this year. Since New Fox doesn't own the show anymore (Disney does), and has lost hours with WWE taking Fridays, they apparently gave MacFarlane a hard date he couldn't meet, so they dumped it. Recall that Season One had a huge hiatus since...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Are there? You would have to know what the history is in this timeline to know what to be surprised by. The Romulan? prison? with the "This facility has gone 5843 days without an assimilation" sign suggests that in this timeline, the Borg went the Body Snatchers route vs. armed conflict in the...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    On one hand, everyone hates four preseason games, and more real games equals more money for everyone. On the other hand, players point out few players get out of even 16 game seasons healthy, so 18 is just a recipe for backup QBs in playoffs. Hence this Frankenstein proposal. Leaving aside the...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    1080P gaming myself, and no joke, the biggest news bit from E3 is I now have a firm deadline to toss out my i5-4690 (which other than extreme particle effect situations, has been just fine). My Nvidia 1070 might get tossed as well; it's this weird situation where your display device (4K 60 HZ...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yes, this is the Kelvin timeline Picard, who joined Star Fleet, reached the rank of Admiral, quit, and also retired to a vineyard, and who we know nothing about otherwise. This is a CBS All Access Star Trek show. That should have been the assumption all along.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Again, this isn't that timeline. Frankly, we have no idea who this Picard is. Edit: Which I suppose is a handy way to wipe any inconsistencies away.

    E3 2019

    See, I thought E3 sucked (entirely understandable for a generational transition), but the next 10 months has one hell of a release schedule, with Outer Worlds / Doom / Cyberpunk / Wolfenstein Youngblood (the actual game tonally is just the party scene and not what is in the trailers) / Jedi...

    E3 2019

    Honest question: was the word Mario said in that presentation? Did I miss it in the blur of second/third rate Japanese releases? Also, MOTHERFUCKING Seiken Densetsu 3 is getting a US release! (Cue comments about Mother 3.)

    E3 2019

    What a barren ass E3. I'd like to think that's a good thing, and core developers are busy working on next gen games. But... 1) It's unclear how many of those will really be crossgen (e.g. Halo Infinite). 2) We've been down this road before. Remember when the end of last gen was barren as hell...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    Titanfall 2 is legitimately one of the best campaigns this gen no played. I'm glad Respawn gets to make something beyond Battle Royale cosmetics, though I suspect I'll play through it in an afternoon and forget it exists afterward. Titanfall 2 died off near instantly, and that had actual...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Well, 1:07 is raw nightmare fuel. Red Letter Media essentially making an Adult Swim bit as sponsored content to hawk an Adult Swim-related product is a development. Is this their first (actually) sponsored bit (unlike Fandango? Edit: I suppose we now know why they had been so light contentwise...

    E3 2019

    I am hoping for something that flat out isn't doable on current gen hardware. I don't give a shit if Batman's face has twice as many scowl wrinkles now, I want engines or graphics rendering techniques that just aren't possible currently. I am settling for Outer Worlds and Fallen Order not being...
