1) MS hired the guys they usually go through to produce an announcement event for them in April, later delayed to May. (That delay may not be due to any difficulties with the product, but venue availability in April, etc.) So they aren't planning on sitting until E3. 2) Those bad news details...

Yeah, that probably was the best Zombie Community they've put out yet. The laughs/minute ratio still isn't great.

What's especially odd is that one of Gamestop's biggest growth sectors is codes for DLC. Sure, there are some paranoids that won't use credit cards online, but I have to believe the overwhelming majority of those people just don't have credit cards. If they don't have credit cards, do they...

It didn't come out today. There's been rumors - and even patents! - about requiring always-on connections, not having used games, etc. for both consoles going back to last year. PS4 has now officially said they won't require a connection and will allow used games. MS may do the same, or they...

Or we're three weeks into Free Agency and no one's signed him, so why not get something while playing for a legitimate contender. There are a lot of veteran guys taking relatively small amounts this year. You can view it as them hoping to refresh their resumes... or the continued financial...

Yeah, they've already nixed the rest of the 3D rereleases and killed the Clone Wars cartoon. It wouldn't shock me if they stop putting out new toy lines too until the movie versions come out. Mobile games, on the other hand, I continue to expect a ton of. Disney killing Lucasarts was my...

Good Lord in Heaven, I'm siding with Araysar. I think the evidence suggests that all option quarterbacks will eventually get knocked out for significant time, and that you are wagering whether their running performance will outweigh the time they're out of the lineup. It's one thing to be...

I've only been catching up on this half season when reviews say to, but what in the world was that? It was like everyone involved said "Man, the prison arc is the best stuff from the comic, we can't be done with it already" and then decided to take the most inelegant path possible to "Still...

1) AFAIK, the "due date" for spending that money isn't until the end of the league year. Teams way under can give new contracts with massive payouts for the 2013 season in March 2014 if they had to. (E.g. In March 2014 the Bengals could give Andy Dalton an extension with small per-year numbers...

Yeah, if his interpretation is correct (and it looks solid), then it's $16 mil a year for a mid-level QB, with friendly cap numbers. (The risk being that Jerry just signed over a $25 million check to Romo, who could be hit by a bus tomorrow.) Honestly, like the Sanchez deal, I may not like...

What do you mean, lol. Show meanythingthat suggests digital downloads of retail disc games matter. The few times we've seen it are weird exceptions like XCOM (heavy PC background), Minecraft (no disc version), and Fire Emblem (supply issues). Instead, no one is putting out any sort of press...

Is it just me or has the show fallen apart from a plotting perspective in the last two weeks as they rush to shuffle pieces for the finale? Why did Colt kill Mort (the Detroit sniper) at the ambush? Was it to protect Tim for their big showdown? If so, why did Colt continue with an unwinnable...

It is a bold (and seemingly strange) move - remember, FX didn't even have enough dramas to air one on Wednesdays last spring, and now they are going to cover programming a network with just their dramas? It's by no means unprecedented - the Turner Networks essentially do the same thing with...

NEWS Fox is officially going through with their goofy plan to split up the FX network. In September, Fox Soccer will become FXX - essentially FX's comedy branch. All the current FX comedies & talk shows will move to that network, and were renewed in the process. Because Sunny already had a...

Err, did future 2013 rookie signings factor into those numbers, because if not, Jerry's already screwed up. Or more likely, you have "surprise" cuts and/or Romo "extension" (really a restructuring) coming soon.

Wait, are we really doing pre-draft Playoff Predictions? Because.. they will sound hilariously terrible in 9 months. AFC North: Bengals (Probably on tie-breakers.) South: Texans (Colts got "lucky" with Leukemia motivation, out of playoffs.) East: Patriots (Come on now, even the season...

For those of you that have the game, is performance as meh as rumored (average of maybe 20 fps)? I've seen people argue that adoption of PS4/Durango will be slow because most of the games will be available on all consoles, but I think Far Cry 3 was just the start: people will be eager to...

Well, the Raiders are in salary cap/draft pick hell*, which is why they couldn't resign him. As to why no one picked him up, it does seem to be early in the process to burn your money on special teams guys, which says what the Texans think of all the remaining FAs out there. *Is it just me...

The standard opinions first: I love me some Edgar Wright. The "running up the gun" shot looks terrible. It's easy to imagine a lot of Nightcrawler/Azazel type fights. Then the non-standard: I'm worried we're going to get a comic-movie crash sooner rather than later, and I think...

Pretty much everything in the recent term hasn't gone well. TOR was a flaming disaster, Medal of Honor failed as a CoD rival, Battlefield hasn't hit CoD numbers, Popcap ended up being a poor choice for the mobile markets, Origin hasn't turned into a real rival to Steam, Sim City turned into a PR...

If you hadn't heard, Simpson doesn't need tips: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/70...e-simpson-home

"Your WR depth chart consists of Jerome Simpson, until his next inevitable drug trafficking arrest. Mike Wallace, the only real #1 WR signed this offseason, got $12 mil/year." Given the money crunch the Packers have coming (Rodgers, Matthews, probably keeping Raji), I'm actually glad we...

Are you guys really too young not to remember the Clinton-and-earlier versions of this rodeo? 1) China doesn't want a US ally literally on their doorstep, and will deter any efforts at a peaceful re-unification. 2) China doesn't want millions of refuges streaming across their border, and...

I have to agree with Grim: If you're penalizing defenders for leading with a helmet (or even touching a QB's helmet), you have to do the same for offensive players - although how RBs, etc. would play under those rules will be different.

Yeah, that sure as hell looks like Enter the Dominatrix turned into a real title, complete with "Superheroes in Saints Row" plot. As long as the length is reasonable compared to 3, I don't mind though.

AFAIK: 1) This is the first year where every team individually has to spend 90% of the cap, or 110.7 million. (Barring exceptions like Washington and Dallas.) 2) That spending minimum's "due date" isn't until the end of the season. Teams could also spend that money on contract extensions at...

This week's one joke: "And we have Britta to thank for it." "Don't ruin the moment." An entire episode to get another "Everyone Hates Britta" bit. I really don't know why I bother.

Pretty sure they clarified that it wasn't All-Stars either. I assume it's some mobile game, maybe a small team did a multiplayer Rock N Roll racing revival. (As an aside, how nuts could Blizzcon be this year? Diablo 3 expansion, WoW 6.0, and they have to reveal Titan one of these years...

1) I called it over a month before that; anyone with two brain cells to rub together should have seen it coming from that lopsided schedule. (By contrast, Araysar was hip deep in "Best offense in the league!" wharrgarbl at that point.) 2) The Bears schedule turned the week before the 49ers...

Anyone else think the new raids generating Random Enchantment items with One Stat (and thus mathematically crap) is rather dumb?

I didn't mention Alex Green, Tom Crabtree, or Jarrett Boykin either. 1) It's the comedy rule of three. 2) Jones is a red zone vulture.. but that's about it, buried way back in nearly all other rankings. The red zone TDs are mostly him getting lined up with weaker defenders due to all the...

If DVD sales are healthy, that's an extremely promising sign; to remind you, strong DVD sales are the reason HBO considered True Blood their pride and joy. But don't kid yourself, this show isexpensive. The massive cast, the location shots, the effects, the animals, the costumes (there aren't...

Honest question: Does the (current) GB offense of Aaron Rodgers (yay!) to.... Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and DuJuan Harris (forgettable even in the four entry long white receiver list, pretty good if he says healthy, and who?) scare literally anyone?

Well, there was less stratification between AAA and A and B games back then, but in a general sense there were far more cross-gen games than people remember. Gun, King Kong, the first NFS Most Wanted, Burnout Revenge, Hitman Blood Money, all the sports leagues (Madden, NBA 2K, NBA Like, Tiger...

1) They didn't even bother putting Jeff into the same outfits from those earlier episodes. 2) Don't get me started on how many episodes Cornelius living with Pierce contradicts. Though the S&M roomwasmentioned way back. Am I offended by it? No, Am I annoyed that, not having seen some of...

Wait, I thought this season was supposed to only be the first half of Storm? This season's going to be extremely compressed if not. Which means, if they are filming books 4 and 5 simultaneously, we'll already be getting material from Dance next season. Crazy. Even crazier is that they would...

I chuckled at Hogan's Villains. I'm rapidly losing any interest in getting one joke (maybe) per episode.

Well, if there's anything to concentrate on from AC3, its the naval battles. Honestly, all the vibes I am getting from this game are off. It certainly seems like its second priority (you can't say B-team, given how they're chopped up and developed worldwide) behind Watch Dogs, given that a)...

You know, when I heard the internet theory that the new Harlan Sheriff elected last season was Drew Thompson, I thought it was a terrible retcon to keep a great actor on the show. I still think it is.

Person of Interest is the most maddening show on TV. Maddening in that the "case of the week" episodes are so bog-standard CBS procedural that I have a hard time sitting through them... but the mythology episodes started approaching and now regularly hit Quality Television. That said, I...
