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...

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...
