This is a frankenstein's monster of a script, as it has to serve as sequel, 10 year summary, and End of Contract rewrite, and I guess I admired it more than enjoyed it:

I'm still subscribed, but as far as current expansion stuff goes, I now only hit the daily emissary just because I can't break my completionism and do the lfrs once just for the storyline. I'm not sure how to construct a more damning scenario than that.

I mean, probably everyone assumes 9 will have a nonending so Disney can continue smashing their Rebellion and Empire action figures together for eternity (slightly change the names every generation), but wasn't "people telling Luke Skywalker's story" literally how 8 ended? Have we all blocked...

I'm not sure literally even one person on earth thinks any of this was intended from the start, but as far as retcons go, bringing Palpy back (in whatever form) is pretty damn elegant: You can retcon Snoke from Rian shitting on everything to a parallel of Palps tossing Dooku as soon as a better...

Wasn't super sold on the trailer (that intro was way too slow, just to mirror TFA's first trailer), but Dark Side Force Ghosts are legitimately interesting. Thrawn + theoretically unlimited reconnaissance (via Ghost Palpy) is a powerful combo. I'm not sure how I would enjoy Rey vs. Kylo in the...

There are statements they are already $70 Mil in the hole. Like, how? How could their costs spiral that far away from their income? Did their TV deals only promise a pittance and a chunk of ad spots, and no one bought the ad spots at meaningful values? Did they expect far more in stadium ticket...

Promotion for an Asian market focuses on the white people? Never. Weird that Rudd gets lumped in with the lesser races though.

AFAIK, for Kaepernick's legal team to have proven collusion, they would have to have evidence that the majority if not the entirety of owners said "If you hire him I will enact retribution on you." Merely saying "That won't be a good look" wouldn't be enough. $10 Mil between two players given...

Tenn paying $2 Mil and a 4th round pick for 1 year of Tannehill seems like a bad deal, unless they have to make the playoffs for them to keep their jobs.

Odds Giants saw the AB mess and said "Get Odell out while we still get something for him?" Also, is that the plan to finally break the Giants fans from Eli? Rack up a 2-14 season and kick him out the door? Shame to waste Saquon's career this way though

As a sarcastic, early 40s, pop obsessed white dude that's lived in Milwaukee for nearly all my life, I love the guys. That said, we need them to call Milwaukee on all our bullshit. Except for movie theaters. I don't know if they're going to the, um, urban cinemas, but I literally can't tell...

Personal opinion: there is no way Thor gets killed off, and they already have a literal dump truck of cash parked a block from Hemsworth's house in case Captain Marvel goes south. That said I firmly believe Doctor Strange and Black Panther preproduction is going strong. That executive council...

I only saw 12 2018 movies in theaters last year, and without shame I rank them: 1) Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2) Avengers: Infinity War 3) Mission Impossible: Fallout 4) Bad Times at the El Royale 5) Incredibles 2 6) Deadpool 2 7) Solo 8) Black Panther 9) Ant-Man & the Wasp 10) Ready...

I don't think anyone outside of Arizona saw the Cardinals in more than two games last season. The assumption going into the season was that no one could succeed with that Oline; even controlling for that, the consensus seems to be that he wasn't good. Arizona Cardinals 2018 Season Recap | NFL...

Trailer seems fine to me, though it more reminds me I'm bummed out we didn't get a del Toro / Perlman-made 3 than excites me for this.

I was slightly underwhelmed by DoFP, given how much I liked First Class and with Singer back for the first time since X2 (or whatever that movie's actual title was); Apocalypse was a slog that had me hoping they'd shelve the whole X-Men universe. Hell, to this day, I don't know which timeline...

I am (slowly) playing through DQ XI as nostalgia... for DQ VIII. Which seems weird, but 8 was 13 years before 11, AND before the FFs of the world abandoned turn based. if DQ 12 comes out in two years, I'm going to give that a pass (I bounced hard off of Bravely Default and Octopath), but I can...

The AAF: So authentic, kickers can ruin our games too!

If you think 13 year old boys look like this then you have some major hormonal pollution in your area.

There's something distinctly unmemorable about Larson. I literally can't recognize that's her in 21 Jump Street. Despite conscious effort, I can still barely remember that it was her as Abed's adorkable love interest in Community (terrible cam of introduction: ). By far, she got the biggest...

I meant stealth release; you're right that I should clarify. (Yeah, its got 6 months until release, but that's just enough time for bug fixes and emergency feature cuts to make framerate goals.)

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...

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.

That's Akeem Hunt... who ironically was last on the Chiefs as well.

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.

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...

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.

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

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...

Toss up games don't literally mean double OT. Man, what a weekend.

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!

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.

Why are the Chiefs going for it there?

Well this makes things interesting. Rivers, you're our only hope (of keeping the Patriots out of the Super Bowl).

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.

What an absolute asswhipping.

In a perfect world, we will watch Felipe Rios finally win everything, and be able to retire on top. This isn't that perfect world. WC Texans over Colts Chargers over Ravens Bears over Eagles Seahawks over Cowboys Divisional KC over Chargers Patriots over Texans Rams over Bears Saints over...

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...
