    The Predator (2018)

    I wasn't quite sold on this from any of the trailers, but was going to give Shane Black some slack for The Nice Guys. That spoiler just sounds like insanity, however, with dollops of left wing virtue signaling. I'm not sure if AVP is canon or not, but that had Predators here thousands of years...

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

    Why wouldn't the Bears go for it, do the Packers even hit 14 points tonight? At some point you have to think the NFL starts taking the crazier proposals seriously (like allowing Offensive Line holding) before the NFL turns into Last Quarterback Standing.

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

    Bears had arguably the best offseason this year even before Mack. If Trubisky can even get up to average, the Lions and Packers will be fighting for third in the division for the next half decade.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    I'm deeply amused Marvel appears to be using this movie to provide the backstory they never got around to for Guardians (and possibly Infinity War)... Then again, I didn't know MCU Yondu was Kree until he said he was in GOTG2, so I'm not sure any of that backstory will actually matter.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, its marked / not marked on map when you're in that area, was hoping for more of a name listing regardless of distance.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Is there a script or add-on to track which mobs that character can still loot that day in Arathi Candyland?

    Fun League I Fantasy Football

    I just assumed the lack of comments meant it was dead. I'm willing to go, but you may want to trigger any announcements possible so people show up tomorrow.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    As promised, it's a gnarly ass Deus Ex, except with sneaking as less of a focus. Sign me the hell up. And Moore's Law the hell out of the video card industry before 2020 rolls around.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Are they really not mirroring the rewards between factions? My filthy alliance scum just got yet another azerite piece with the same ilevel I already had, iirc.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not sure if official, but I had heard the costs will drop 10% per week. A year from launch then we'll be at 0.9 to the 51st power, or levels will take 0.5% of what they do now... and that doesn't seem like enough of a discount.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They never took mob health scaling out, they just toned it down. They removed mob DPS scaling. Maybe I was just too active in Legion, but count me in the group already getting bored a week in: nothing is new, there's no new systems, there's nothing to look forward to since we don't know where...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They could at least up the drop rate on the legion rep bag mounts or let us buy them outright for 1k to 5k legendary bits now that those are dead areas. I can't imagine how slowly I'll accumulate them without the app.

    Possible Star Trek Next Generation reboot

    They finally did it: After all of us complaining for decades that Star Trek never advanced past Deep Space Nine, they now have to. That said, it will be weird that the beginning will essentially be a sequel to another show, unless they pick up a decade+ after DS9 ends.

    The Venture Bros.

    Time for the boys to blow up the mythology again, in another Season Finale that airs as a Season Premiere. What's the deal with the black lady in the trenchcoat? She shows up in at least two scenes.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    The general chaos of the Nick Fury section makes it clear a chunk of the 'lucky' 50% died soon afterwards. And while I would watch a Marvel's The Leftovers, we have no idea when Avengers 4 is. It could be 6 days or 6 months after 3. Assuming the survivors keep their memories after it's...

    I'm pretty sure all the pet boosting items moved over to the new tokens. Existing pet battle tokens are useless if you already have all the toys and pets.

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    Thing is, you could say that for a lot of teams, especially in the NFC. Seriously, ask yourself: "What's the worst team in the NFC?" The Bears weren't great last year but had arguably the best offseason in the league. The Cardinals' O-line is probably bad enough that even arguably the best QB...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Remember kids, if you say or have said anything that can be construed, or even miscontrued, by anyone at any point in the future to be against the norms of their time, you can and will go to Career Jail. With Feige's apparent position that diversifying the Marvel Universe is the biggest...

    The Venture Bros.

    Much like last season, it ended with a whimper over confusion on how many episodes they had available this season: OSI and The Guild team up to catch Blue Morpho in the act of killing Red Death, the biggest threat yet in the show... but Blue Morpho (the Monarch) doesn't show up to the trap, as...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I said it when TLJ came out, I still want to see what Rian's and Benioff/Weiss' movies look like. The only way to make Star Wars interesting is to focus on entirely new, entirely unrelated settings and concepts, instead of cramming in every callback or reference to the original trilogy you can...

    Octopath Traveler

    Yeah, I'll be happy to finally buy a third game for my Switch. Two issues though: 1) I really wish this had come out earlier in the year. With Battle for Azeroth, DQXI, and the weekend of Destiny in the next three months, I suspect I'll get 40% of the way through, drop for it for 6+ months...

    Legion

    To be clear, David calls himself God to Lenny before Farouk even wakes up, much less goes mouse mode. That said, I think Farouk did alter their minds as well, to isolate David to make it easier for Farouk to team up with him down the line, but I have no clue what the structure of the show is in...

    Well, the hero giving his ex a mental roofie is going to be tough to write around. That said, has this show really done anything but spin it's wheels since "David" was rampaging through Division 3?

    E3 2018 Hype and Train-Wreck Thread (Place your bets!)

    You have to remember the lineup Switch had for the first 9 months, those teams won't have real followups for years. That said, they could have at least teased the Metroid and racing title(s).

    Disclaimer: I currently only own a PC and a Switch, so keep comments about "this gen" in mind: If this was the swan song for announcements of the current gen, with everything we know releasing between now and Holiday 2020, then this gen is going to end way more pleasantly than last: people...

    For once, Ubisoft couldn't save E3. Which ties into the running theme: unless the project has had a troubled development for years or is the last sequel out the door this cycle, everyone seems to be moving on to next gen in their minds.

    E3 2018 Hype and Train-Wreck Thread (Place your bets!)

    Well, my big question was whether devs would admit this gen was winding down, and depending on how you interpret that phrasing, Starfield is the beginning. Also, I guess Wolfenstein is a side game, but how do you write 3 then? Is that even this gen?

    I can't say anything there would make me go Xbox over PS4, but a far stronger showing than they've had in recent memory. Still not sure how Fallout 76 or Cyberpunk play, and does Cyberpunk even make Holiday 2019? Eh, them buying studios is a PR win at least - "Tired of Halo/Gears? We've got...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Just think of the Street Fighter 2 minigames someone would put in, where you get bonuses for the next game depending on how hard you whip your child or punch your fiance. Or the Metal Gear Solid stealth mission to swap your weed-positive urine sample!

    I don't think Anthem looks bad, but it does look like a indifferent Destiny clone with combat arena sizes larger than what Destiny usually deals in. I can't imagine it will hit the sales even ME: Andromeda did. And if The Force Unleashed sales could only warrant an underwhelming mid budget...

    To be clear, EA hasn't put on a good show in arguably a decade. Not sure if carving out their own day will make people forget how disastrous they are by the time Nintendo finishes or make the games press even more pissed off they needed to show up an extra day early for this mess though.

    1) Don't screw up Starfield. 2) Show us how Cyberpunk works in what we assume (incorrectly?) is a Witcherian framework. Standard question: Now that Nintendo used all their powder on Swtich's first year, do they have anything through Christmas 2019 other than Pokemanz / Metroid / a Smash...
