    2013 NFL Season

    Neither one of them collapsed, they just had lopsided schedules catch up to them. And speaking of the Packers, even with the return of the Once and Future King, Matt Flynn, we still can't even beat the Vikings without Rodgers.

    South Park

    Meh, very little progression in any plotline, like many South Park middle chapters. (Strictly speaking, weren't most of the weiners inserted (/drumroll) by the tv producers? If Martin had a chorus of excessive coverage, it would be about food.) Am I the only one that honestly hopes they...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Nah, it's even goofier - Garrosh showed up there two or three years ago, so its like 27 or 28 years in the past. So it's an alternate universe AND time traveling portal.

    2013 NFL Season

    PI should be, at most, 15 yards (maybe an auto First Down, maybe). Getting a 80 yard penalty because the guymighthave been able to catch it is the same sort of "guessing the future" nonsense that led to the end of the force out penalty. Looking at the standings, when the hell did the...

    If the Panthers only get a field goal here, they lose. Dunno why they aren't trying to stay inbounds either.

    2013 VGX Awards (Formerly known as the VGAs)

    Why the hate with the date? What games are still coming out this year, and why wouldn't you think the game reviewers that vote for these things wouldn't be able to play release candidates for them at this point anyway? Honestly, the only thing that jumps out at me is PC game. I find it...

    2013 NFL Season

    Let's be clear, everyone has them and KC as playoff teams. That's not remotely the same thing as saying you expect them to make a playoff run. Given the way the Patriots, Bengals, and Colts have played in any given week though, I honestly have no clue what the AFC Championship game will...

    Almost Human

    Meh. Admittedly, I fell out of Fringe, and only caught the final season months later. But there's little here to suggest that I won't catch up to AH this summer as well, assuming it survives. The twist was weak - as soon as you saw girl legs, there were only two candidates, girlfriend and...

    Did Tolzien even look anywhere else? This ain't Brady-at-his-prime the Giants are beating here.

    2013 NFL Season

    You guys ready for the return of the Once and Future King, Matt Flynn, next week!.... Anyone? Maybe the Packers can squeeze out one win (between the Vikings and Falcons in Green Bay) before Rodgers comes back.

    2013 NFL Season

    It's the usual stars vs. scrubs salary cap issue. They have, what, 8 guys taking up half their cap? If more than 2 of them get injured, you're done. Honestly, the last couple years suggest that depth is the biggest issue in the modern era, given how often people get hurt. (See San Fran...

    2013 NFL Season

    I think God is punishing the Bears for their incompetence. "You injured the Packers out of the playoff race, and you're still going to lose the division to the Lions? No more football for you, you don't deserve it." I could do without the flooding in my basement that punishment is currently...

    The Shield, especially for the time. Lost has a lot of supporters with the plane crash sequence.

    Fallout 4

    Bah, just realized that 2299 puts it at only 21 years after F3 / 18 years after FNV. Was hoping for a different era - honestly, bouncing between super sci-fi MIT and the Wasteland (as rumored) might not be such a terrible idea.

    Fallout 4

    I didn't say I wanted it on a console, I meant that I hope it is designed around systems with at least 5 GB of memory and decent graphics, and not designed for something that will be (at that point) a decade old. Hell, just for bug fixes alone you should be playing on PC.

    Fallout 4

    Sure smells like a cinematic at the VGAs. As the game I was most bummed to not have an appearance at E3, about time. I sure hope it is next gen only.

    Boo, I thought (barring some gruesome injury) we had come to some unspoken agreement that we weren't going to comment on this inevitable beatdown.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To repeat, the smallest gap between announcement and release was 9 months for Pandaria; I believe all the expansions have been in beta for at least 5 months before release. May is about the earliest reasonable date; September, maybe later, is the likeliest.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes, but I have a hard time imagining most of the account flows aren't: 1) Take existing level 90 to new territory (skip rebalanced territory). 2) Bump non-90 character to 90 and take to new territory (skip rebalanced territory). Sure, a handful of people will use the to-90 feature, check...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well, the item squish needed to happen, probably now (boss health would soon get beyond an int data type @ 2.1 billion). The problem is I have no faith in their ability to correctly rebalance everything in the game anytime soon. (Is that the real stealth reason for the "Raise to 90 feature"...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, given the state we've seen things so far, I don't expect it before September at the earliest.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm pretty underwhelmed. The zones don't look different enough for me to care, and the idea of "fighting orcs everywhere all the time!" makes me sigh. (Hell, its the worst parts of Cata (rehashed stuff) mixed with the worst parts of SWTOR (same models everywhere). Blech.) I'll buy it and...

    Any stat that is best until X then useless afterwards is going to be a disaster. Move speed just seems like a mess for pvp balancing.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    "In addition to offering four tiers of difficulty as in Patch 5.4, we're also extending our Flexible Raid scaling technology to Normal difficulty raiding." So they are indeed flexing Normal, but keeping it a distinct difficulty.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I kinda like the idea of redoing the Outlands 58-70 quests because (I assume) this is a different timeline. Bumping the level cap to 100 says (to me) that they tossed their original "legion at 95, old gods at 100" plan after Titan blew up and a decade from now people will be running around at...

    Uhh yeah, the division winners always get seeds 1-4. You could have a #5 seed be 15-1, if two teams in the same division beat everyone else and split the series.

    No, it was all over but the crying. Well, more of a statewide "ffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccc ccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk" to be accurate.

    Yeah, it's not like his presence (or not) on the field entirely decided this game or anything... There's a fairly good chance next week's Lions/Bears game essentially decides the division. Wacky.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Well, there are a lot of games available for both consoles. The problem being that most of those games are cross-generation, and are also available on PS3/360, with little solid information on how much better performing/playing the next-gen versions are. If you are talking next-gen only...

    No, the NFL deadline is hard as hell, no trades are possible now until after the Super Bowl*. A team could release someone, eat the entirety of the current contract, and some other team could then sign them, but the original team wouldn't get anything for it. *Again, this is the first year...

    There are times when the only "reasonable" explanation for a call is that someone upstairs decides the game is getting dangerously close to a blowout. That sure looked like one of those times.

    Nah, it is just as likely, if not more, that NBC has a whole bunch of new comedies again and Parks serves the fill-in role Community does this year after one of those future newbies fails.

    Season 3 is a pretty strong litmus test for how committed you are to the show. Chaos Theory, Horror Fiction, Holiday Music, Lupine Urology, and Digital Estate Planning are pretty great episodes that were entertaining to casual fans. The Dreamtorium and Chang Takeover bits require a much...

    2013 NFL Season

    It bears repeating: they play the NFC Least and the AFC South (Sour? I got nothing here) this year. Even that is understating it: they played the Titans' second string QB and play the Texans' third string QB. Aside from the Colts, the only games they have to worry about are in the division...

    2013 NFL Season

    If you read the article, I'm not sure how any of it was Cleveland's fault with the (goofy) practice squad rules the league has. The real question is why the Packers still had him on their practice roster.
