As someone who doesn't watch college football, who the fuck is this cro-magnon Mathieu and why should I care?

Eh, I don't think it's that big a deal. The draft was about 10 likely successes and then 40 probable successes. The Raiders therefore went from 1 likely success to 2 probable successes. Quite frankly, the Raiders need 2 decent guys more than the #3 pick and some guy off the street...

Boo, was hoping Floyd would stick around to Packers. Dunno if they go with Sylvester Williams or trade to a QB team now.

What, the Bears have OL issues and the tackles are gone. Not seeing the surprise.

Also: this is going to be a long ass first round. With so few superstars, everyone sane will be tempted to trade down, and everyone will wait until the last minute for trade offers.

Here's the real question, who do the Raiders trade the number 12 pick to?

Miami is disturbingly going for it this year. I mean, Ireland will be fired if they don't do something, but either way, they have nothing left for the next few years.

Frankly, MS shouldn't waste their time with disc-based Japanese-only games. The worldwide games (Capcom, Konami, Square) will get a 720 version anyway for the US/UK. The Japanese only games would be better suited converting to digital-only, XBLA/PSN sales - and its not like it will take much...

The 3DS will not sell as well as the DS or GBA did. No handheld ever will again; that marketshare is lost to phones. That said, there's nothing stopping the 3DS from being a profitable system with more than enough games to justify its existence. This fiscal year was just bad development...

Eh, I think the show needs to shake things up, with either new characters or people in new roles. Ron Cadillac was a start (although they seemed to abandon him after, what, the Anthony Bourdain episode), and I could see Lana as Mother not accepting Archer's shit anymore, but when the big...

You could (and probably should) jump straight to when Rob Lowe and Adam Scott joined the cast (Season 2, Episode 23 - "The Master Plan"). There are bits of gold in Season 2, but I wouldn't slog through all of it to find them without already being a fan. Season 3, in my opinion, is one of the...

I don't buy it either. He starts off by saying "A bunch of stuff I said before is wrong, but this stuff is real, honest!", the language sounds petulant and fanboyish, and his claims go against all anecdotes - it's not always online (whereas an employee was fired defending the concept)...

Of course he dies, they even give you the star blinking out at the end of the credits to hammer it home.

Metal trash cans unfortunately provide easy sources of effective shrapnel.

I'm enjoying this too (Bryan Fuller's name demands I at least give it a couple episodes), but all I can think of when I watch it is "Awake: Serial Killer Edition". It doesn't help that the same guy (David Slade) directed the pilots for both shows.

According to Sepinwall, that was the "last produced" (the singing and puppets took longer to produce, as you would expect) episode that Chevy skipped; apparently they made him come back for an hour and record his puppet lines before he was off the hook. So he did indeed "appear" in all the...

I would clarify that to exclusivity hasn't mattered for XBLArecently. I think/fear that if the 720 is still way behind the PS4 after Holiday 14, at E3 15 we will find out MS has broken out the checkbook and bought XBLA exclusivity for Shadow Complex 2, Trials+1, Spelunky 2, Dust 2, and as...

Is says that internet polls have such a level of self-selection bias that their results should be tossed out sight unseen, that the gamers voting for EA literally don't have a clue about reality at large, given the above that any group running (and promoting the results of) such a poll has...

Non-gamers don't need to spend $500 on a media device, especially when much cheaper devices (hell, if rumors are to be believed, including a $99 version of the 360) will do the same. MS intends on putting out a new machine and not eating a large percentage of the cost doing so. Both MS and...

I took my nieces to see this on Wednesday. Today, the only things I can literally remember about it are A) amusing meta-jokes about Nic Cage inventing wigs and overacting, and B) wondering why the intro is scored to college football fight songs. (I guess the egg is football shaped, or...

Adjusting for inflation: The "Good" 360 (with a hard drive) launched at ~$475. (Without any silly Kinect camera.) It should overtake the Wii for #1 this gen in the US. The PS2 launched at ~$400, and there was a lot less to a system back then (no hard drive to start). It was #1 last gen...

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...
