I'm still surprised Argo won without a Best Director nod, even though in retrospect it ticks off nearly every Oscar box (Period Piece, About Hollywood, Happy Ending, Box Office Success) - the only one it missed is getting the British and/or French blocs involved. (See why The Artist was the...

A View to a Kill, despite having Christopher Fucking Walken, is the worst Bond movie. Live and Let Die is a very close second.

I think some of you guys are nuts. Comparing a ~$400 console to PCs whose video card alone tops that, saying that Sony cheaped out on not shipping a system with 16GB of GDDR5 RAM, etc.? Do you not understand the concept of "mass market"? The two complaints I think are valid are 1) Possible...

I'd be shocked if both the PS4 and 720 don't start in the $400-$450 range. If MS offers a subscription plan, it'll A) be $200 and $15/24 months, and B) not launch until after the Holidays so they can maximize the early adopter money. Edits: I prefer the PS2controller. What sexual...

It sounds like the announcement was so dull because Sony got them to pull gameplay so they could reveal it at their big meeting on Wednesday. However, I wouldn't get your hopes up: I think that's for the PS3 version. I don't think there's a PS4 version until 2015. Getting a major Gregory...

The number we are seeing this morning is 57K. Which, to be clear, isterribad. Now, I'm seeing a lot of "Panic mode Nintendo is best Nintendo! Wii U Ambassador Program inc!" posts on the internet today. But: 1) The Ambassador programalready exists. It's the $0.30 trial program. 2) Panic mode...

In Some Order: Portal Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Chrono Trigger Final Fantasy VI Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past If you are going with accumulated played time (which has only a tenuous relationship to best), then it would probably be Everquest World of Warcraft Quake...

You know, when I heard we were getting things like an Inspector Spacetime Convention episode, I was worried we were going to get the worst of all worlds: a show quirky enough that the mass audience still ignores it but without Harmon's singular madness that we watched the old version for. We...

Ineverthought Rayman was going to stay Wii U exclusive, and fully expected 360/PS3(/probably even Wii) versions in 6/12 months. Them delaying the core version along with is odd though. Isn't Ubisoft eating ad money with the move? Did RL even have any advertising bought? Did they ever plan on...

Ravens been in victory mode for two hours, someone needs to wake them up.

Conspiracy by CBS to keep the game even remotely relevant to West Coast ratings!

Even the stadium wants this game to be over.

Put a fork in it.

Urgh, this is turning into the Ravens blueprint to win (get a lead early and let Kaep throw interceptions to seal the victory). Favre dooms another team!

Only way a Cowboy is at the Super Bowl joke goes here?

In rough chronological order: 1) Virtually all reports had the PS4 at 4GB of GDDR5 (3.5GB dev usable) and the 720 at 8GB of DDR3 (5GB dev usable). A)4GB does seem ridiculous, but console makers always skimp on RAM - remember the 360 was only aiming for 256MB until Epic slapped some sense...

I thought it was well made, but I'm not sure how much audience (or even myself) will stick around once they start directly killing Americans. The pilot attempts to split the difference by only having Soviets be killed, and all the secrets learned be of Soviet ops, but they can't keep that up...

I caught the first quarter and like the last minute. I found it amusing that after all the "Peyton Manning hyped up the AFC to go play hard for this game!" talk the NFC buries them.

Again, E3 should be great. But there's a lot of doubt as to how many will make it out this year: Zelda U: Still in theplanningstages. Clearly the team is finishing some new 3DS Zelda title before they even begin working fulltime on this. I'm not even sure we should expect this in 2015. Smash...

I rather liked Fuzzy Nation. Then I reread The Android's Dream on a hunch and saw just how thoroughly he had plagiarized his earlier book.

Well, the lack of actual talk about the Super Bowl is kind of weird. It's probably a combination of everyone already tired of the concept of two solid weeks of talking about Harbowl, Ray Lewis, and in distant third, Bold Moves (Cam Cameron and Alex Smith "firings"). But a lot of it has to be...

What part of "2013 NFL Playoffs" means "spouting irrelevant bullshit about non-2012 seasons" to you? The modern Patriots have folded against strong defenses with even a whiff of a passing game. Belichick should go down as one of the all time greats (as painful as that is for many to admit)...

Now that ends it.

BS' been wondering all week whom Pollard would kill. He's even been giving him the full name, serial killer, treatment in his columns. Now we know. He's killed the entire Patriots season.

Ravens playing like a team fighting for a massive contract extension and/or literally in fear for their lives of letting a certain teammember down. Harbowl is nigh!

NBC's current deal is that they get the Saturday Wildcard games and every third Super Bowl. (CBS this year.)

If the SF CBs don't wake up soon, this is over.

Before the season, I said Harbowl. Before the postseason, I said SF/NE. Thinking back, the earlier my guesses are, the better (which makes no sense). So I am reverting to Harbowl. Going bold!

Did they forget they did http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/09/25? Honestly, Final Fantasy Football is a catchier phrase.

The NFC North gets the AFC North and NFC West next year (Cards and Browns the only weak teams in the bunch); Bears SoS opponents are the Saints and Cowboys. I expect only the NFC North divisional winner to be in the playoffs next year (and to be bounced by the divisional round); I wouldn't...

Am I the only one that's dumbfounded by the Lost Odyssey love? They took their Shadow Hearts: Covenant, fixed the graphics, but then took out 95% of the charm of SHC, leaving a lifeless Final Fantasy clone. Sure, if you need to play a game on your 360, it's not terrible, but odds are you...

Again, to reiterate, Nintendo's E3 lineup should beawesome. The problems being: 1) They'll all be Nintendo made. 2) Who knows how many will make it out in 2013. 3) 720/PS4 launch titles could make them look like garbage (despite how well they play). I probably will pick a Wii U up. I just...

Now that we've had a better look at software numbers, the situation is even uglier. NSMBU is selling well. Aside from that, yeesh - ZombiU has sold over 100k. Every non-Nintendo game has sold worse, with many only in the 10k-20k range. It turns out (as everyone that wasn't a Nintendo...

Closing in on FG range!

Look, Kaep was especially suited to hurt the Packers - just consider the issues they had with Ponder, for fuck's sake. Their big guys up front of D could not hold up against SF's (admittedly quite good) OLine, and the CBs picked a bad week to shit the bed. 1) I don't expect Kaep to hurt the...

Dude, even the Dallas fans can leave their non-playoff team talk to the other thread. Are you finally admitting to us and yourself that you are worse than a Dallas fan?

Two questions: 1) Doesanyonethink Alex Smith would have done as well this game? 2) Given the current score, does anyone think SF wouldn't have won* (again) in GB? Because the location of the game is about all the "Fail Mary" amounted to. *Remember, CK grew up in Wisconsin, so he would have...

Time to start drinking heavily.

Sigh, that was a 7 point mistake.

FG for the win. Wow.
