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

    Been stuck working Sundays this season, but I have to exclaim how happy I am we are back to the good old days of limited juggernauts. (I believe) only 2 of the 12 playoff spots are locked going into tomorrow- Saints at #1 in NFC and Cowboys at #4 in NFC - and given how up and down everyone has...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Forget alts, I started late on Forsaken and I can't even find the forge captain on Nessus on my primary.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I like that everyone assumes Ant-Man was dusted. He was another plane of existence with everyone that knew better dead. It certainly seems like we're going Time Travel. Just what level of time travel is the question though: On one hand, if the movie doesn't end with Cap dancing with Peggy...

    So Obsidian got tired of waiting for Starfield too and made Fallout: Space Vegas. Hell yeah!

    Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

    I thought it was the director responding to the criticisms of people like me from the last one, who said "This movie's great! Too bad about the preposterous CGI bullshit!" Seriously, there is shockingly little outright CGI in this one, at least until the preposterous dangling helicopter.

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

    Second time ever a Super Bowl winning coach was fired in-season. Personally, I think this is the final sign the Packers will burn this down. Some college offensive wunderkind as coach, Cobb/Matthews/etc. gone. I do wonder if Pettine will stick around in the Wade Phillips role.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Dumb(?) question: is there any logic for if / how many Daily Powerful quests you get each day? And whenever I get to 600, is it cheaper to feed a Forsaken item to a pre-Forsaken item or just upgrade the Forsaken item? Having all those pre-Forsaken masterworks in my bank feels bad.

    The Raiders could use a deep threat like this Cooper kid.

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

    Are the Lions really not going to win, on a short week, on their home field, against a backup QB? If the Packers get their act together under a new coach, the division could be interesting next year.

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

    I don't think we'll even get the PS5 announcement until the 25th anniversary of the release of the PS1 on 12/3/19 and barring a shockingly early release date for Xbox 2, won't see PS5s on shelves for nearly two years still. You'll have plenty of time to get through all the PS4 releases if you...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    And to reiterate, even with the remaining wow sub time I have, I'm spending far more of it on gambling RNG likes me with legion emissary bag mounts and soloing old raids for mounts/pets/set armors than playing BFA.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Naxx was also just reused from a previous expansion. I mean, can you imagine if Blizzard just copy pasted the hub city straight from another expa... Oh. But yeah, given the choice between the 6 month discount rate and a 'free' mount or unsubbing, I too picked unsubbing. I'm sure I'll resub a...

    Well, the Cardinals seem well on their way to locking up the 1st pick. Wonder how much they can bilk the Giants for to move up twoish picks.

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

    I hope this game finally convinces people the Packers aren't good. Sure, they could luck into a Wildcard in any given year, but why people pencil them in as division winners if not SB contenders is beyond me.

    The Venture Bros.

    I'm willing to accept 24 month gaps when the seasons are this good. Seriously, this was the best season since 3 or maybe even 2, even if no single episode reached the peak of "All This and Gargantua-2". That said, the show started airing so long ago that there are entire arcs I've forgotten-...

    Hotel Artemis (2018)

    Everyone's initial assumption is that it's a John Wick knockoff, but its way more of a Tarantino knockoff, a bunch of criminals confined in a spot until they turn on each other. The very definition of meh - it's competent and has a hell of a cast for the genre, but I'm not sure I remember a...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I'm going to tell myself that the Disney board is simply going to be too busy with the (faaaaaaaar more expensive) Fox merger to worry about Star Wars in the short term. So they let KK manage the film projects she's already started (Will even the GOT movie be out in this time frame? Will they...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I have given up on raiding beyond Normal, and the current gold/AP per time rewards for BFA activities are so pointless, that now: Every day I click on the world map, see if the last rep I need to finish off has an emissary today and check if the turtles are offering the last two cooking recipe...

    My filthy alliance scum got a 375 belt from the weekly quest... and then did another warfront and got a 340 belt that titanforged to 375 and the exact same stats. /feelsbadman.gif Am I missing something or is there nothing new for Brewfest this year, other than if a 335 trinket is still somehow...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...
