    Wii U

    The supply for WiiU is greater than the Wii supply. The demand for WiiUs is much more up in the air. The WiiU sold less in its first week than the Wii did (425K vs. 476K)... but still more than the 360 or PS3 did. That said, all evidence for December tends to indicate they aren't flying off the...

    2012 NFL Season

    Pittsburgh has to draft a developmental QB this year, right?

    2012 NFL Season

    Did you just start watching football in the last decade or so? The rules Rice, etc. played under were far more weighted towards the defense than the current rules. And it's not that the curse is broken - it's that Megatron is so powerful he can deflect the curse to his teammates! (All...

    2012 NFL Season

    Well, I'm sure you could make a similar video for any team consisting of their interceptions and fumbles, admittedly with less butt fumbles. (Fumbutts?) But it was pretty damn hilarious. As to the Jets woes, I go straight to the GM. Sanchez got the extension because they had no cap space...

    2012 NFL Season

    No shit theywantto trade Sanchez, but no one will pick up that contract. It will cost (in cap space) the Jets$3 million more if they release Sanchez than if they keep him. Keep in mind, the whole reason he got the extension was that they were way over the cap this year. Sanchez, barring...

    Alas poor THQ

    Whoops, I was misinformed, I had heard the behind the scenes accounting was different from the usual Humble Bundle. So no "charitable loans" then. Still doesn't mean it wasn't an emergency cash grab otherwise though.

    Alas poor THQ

    Says who? Even at the time it was announced it was theorized that THQ was throwing a Hail Mary for immediate funds (perhaps they had loans due on Dec 31?) - we already know from Reckoning that Steam money can take months to show up, so that was out. As to the charity aspect, I admit I am not a...

    2012 NFL Season

    I said before the season that Sanchez probably stays on their roster (because of guaranteed money) but probably loses the starting job; I've seen nothing in the season to suggest otherwise. Whether the Jets can draft or pick up a decent enough QB is another matter. As for Tannenbaum and Ryan...

    2012 NFL Season

    MNF games are not flexed; every team plays once on Monday (there are two games week 1 to make up for no games week 17). TNF games are not flexed; every team plays at least once on a Thursday (though due to Thanksgiving games, it's not guaranteed every team plays on TNF itself). SNF games are...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You really think so? I read that quest as the devs winkingly telling fresh 90s "Look, we admit this Panda stuff came out of nowhere, but we'll get back to the longterm storylines next xpac, so buy that one too!" Besides, you really think the point release flow is corrupted leaders to the...

    Wait, did the Packers rush no one and Cutler still got sacked?

    2012 NFL Season

    At the bottom of a very large glass of beer, wondering where it all went wrong? (The answer is, of course, one word simple: Schedule.) Though even I am surprised at the Bears. There's a chance the Vikings can knock them out of the playoffs. Whodathunkit?

    2012 NFL Season

    I can tell this will be another painful Packers game, even if we win. Double Marshall, throw everyone else against the run, bring in another kicker. What's the problem here.

    2012 NFL Season

    Again, people need to understand that there is an enormous gulf between "Completely Innocent" and "Guilty with Enough Documented Evidence to Convince Even a Labor-Friendly Appeals Court". All the evidence suggests it is far closer to, but not surpassing, the latter. Assuming that's the truth...

    I muted this game two quarters back, I don't know how you guys could stand it this long.

    2012 NFL Season

    We'll see how the seeding works out, but it sure seems like it should be Giants/49ers for the NFC Championship (yes, again), and Broncos/Pats for the AFC Championship, with the SB being Giants/Pats (yes, again). Given how the Giants manhandled the Packers recently, I would think they win yet...

    2012 NFL Season

    The AFC playoffs boiling down to Pats vs Broncos, with Pats having the edge, is really depressing me.

    2012 NFL Season

    I think Bears fandom has simply bought into the "Martz is the devil!" meme, rather than admit that the Bears never had the OLine to run a Martz offense, and still don't have a decent OLine, years after Martz left the picture, even after a new GM.

    2012 NFL Season

    I appreciate Da Bears leaving open the possibility of the Packers winning the division, but to be frank, I'm much rather run into the (current injury depleted) Bears than the Vikings in the playoffs*. *Which my larger point: maybe its just my bias towards the recent past, but can anyone...

    Packers getting worked, again. Cue onside kick here?

    American Horror Story: Asylum

    As I briefly said on MN, I can't believe it took morning sickness for me to realize that Modern Bloodyface was literally Son of Bloodyface. (I'm already cringing at the Ryan Murphy level of subtlety for that upcoming episode. "I have a baby serial killer in me! End it now!" "LoL, this is the...

    Wii U

    People are going to jump down your throat for this. But the situation is complicated. For the mass market, your are preposterously, moronically wrong. NSMBWii was the third or fourth biggest overall seller for the Wii, and nearly 65% of the people that bought a Wii U the first week also bought...

    SteamOS - SteamWare

    Well, if there ever was a time to do it, it's now, as both 720 and PS4 are heavily thought to be PC-based, and virtually every western third party gets a PC port already. But the issues are the same as they've been since the concept came out: 1) Windows. Many games are only available for...

    Spike Video Game Awars - Results

    Err, let's be clear. I believe the consensus is: The show itself is a joke, with the only reason to watch it to see the trailers (available within hours on the internet). The nominations are pretty goofy, with many categories weighted towards big budget games. The winners themselves... are...
