    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    My switch is on "loan" to my nephew; that drop makes me think I should just buy another once we find out if E3 has an XL or a slim. I don't recall how long Awakening was, but expecting less than 50 (probably 60) seems foolish. Stealth Platinum likely bad Platinum :/ Maker2 likely as much of a...

    2019 Alliance of American Football - Regular Season

    The lack of even mediocre unsigned OLine is going to turn every game into YAC fests since no one can block for long throws or set up a run game, isn't it.

    2019 Alliance of American Football - Regular Season

    Most of those camera angles are pretty smart to hide the upper levels being shuttered. But whomever is doing the stadium audio needs to be shot, bump up that crowd noise to make it seem like fans are there.

    2019 Alliance of American Football - Regular Season

    I had heard this was a thing, but had no idea it was going live this soon. I suspect they wanted to get going before the XFL signed the players / flopped horribly. Most of the rule changes seem smart, though I have to wonder if less full ad breaks is just them not being able to sell their...

    Legion

    Yeah, they've officially said Season 3 is it. Which frankly I am cool with - if I saw that fucking curved hallway in Division 3 one more time, I woulda thrown my shoe at the TV. Note that Stevens is actually older than than Viserys, so I can't imagine we will get any current timeperiod X-Men.

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    This seems like a bad amount of time to leave the Patriots, even if the Rams do score.

    Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)

    Look, everyone loves Cabin in the Woods (which Goddard co-wrote and had his first directing credit on). But the question was always how much of Cabin was him, and how much was Joss Whedon (who co-wrote and was credited as a second unit director). The entirely Whedon-free El Royale verifies...

    I said the Super Bowl would be Saints / Patriots before the wildcards, so I have to stick with that. Come on KC, redeem Playoffs Andy Reid!

    Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

    The initial statement was this movie started immediately after Endgame. That trailer doesn't really establish _when_ this is, though the suit tech seems beyond what he has at the beginning of Infinty War. If Marvel employees the nuclear option and rewrites the timeline, then this can literally...

    What do you mean _new_? Patriots win next week due to a coaching gaffe by Reid and lose to Saints in Super Bowl. It is known.

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    I'm not sure I would flag any team as unlikable outside of the Patriots and the Cowboys, though you could consider the Eagles' fanbase to be unlikable. So I'm pretty flexible on these outcomes, as long as the Patriots don't win the Super Bowl. (Well, I'd dislike it if the Cowboys win...

    I don't want to watch the Chargers lose - and that KC/Colts game should be great - but I'm going all home teams this weekend. Besides, how will the Patriots go to the Super Bowl unless Andy Reid's there to mismanage at the worst time.

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    On one hand, giving the worst team in the league second chances is how you end up with Hue Jackson. On the other hand, the Cardinals had been firmly in the running for #1 pick from Week 1 on, and now there are the reports (which admittedly may just be justification efforts) that Wilks didn't...

    Been stuck working Sundays this season, but I have to exclaim how happy I am we are back to the good old days of limited juggernauts. (I believe) only 2 of the 12 playoff spots are locked going into tomorrow- Saints at #1 in NFC and Cowboys at #4 in NFC - and given how up and down everyone has...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I like that everyone assumes Ant-Man was dusted. He was another plane of existence with everyone that knew better dead. It certainly seems like we're going Time Travel. Just what level of time travel is the question though: On one hand, if the movie doesn't end with Cap dancing with Peggy...

    Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

    I thought it was the director responding to the criticisms of people like me from the last one, who said "This movie's great! Too bad about the preposterous CGI bullshit!" Seriously, there is shockingly little outright CGI in this one, at least until the preposterous dangling helicopter.

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    Second time ever a Super Bowl winning coach was fired in-season. Personally, I think this is the final sign the Packers will burn this down. Some college offensive wunderkind as coach, Cobb/Matthews/etc. gone. I do wonder if Pettine will stick around in the Wade Phillips role.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Dumb(?) question: is there any logic for if / how many Daily Powerful quests you get each day? And whenever I get to 600, is it cheaper to feed a Forsaken item to a pre-Forsaken item or just upgrade the Forsaken item? Having all those pre-Forsaken masterworks in my bank feels bad.

    Are the Lions really not going to win, on a short week, on their home field, against a backup QB? If the Packers get their act together under a new coach, the division could be interesting next year.

    I hope this game finally convinces people the Packers aren't good. Sure, they could luck into a Wildcard in any given year, but why people pencil them in as division winners if not SB contenders is beyond me.

    I'm willing to accept 24 month gaps when the seasons are this good. Seriously, this was the best season since 3 or maybe even 2, even if no single episode reached the peak of "All This and Gargantua-2". That said, the show started airing so long ago that there are entire arcs I've forgotten-...

    Everyone's initial assumption is that it's a John Wick knockoff, but its way more of a Tarantino knockoff, a bunch of criminals confined in a spot until they turn on each other. The very definition of meh - it's competent and has a hell of a cast for the genre, but I'm not sure I remember a...
