    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Same, although I never found it that hard. You just had certain levels where you pet couldn't hold aggro for shit...and eventually it could never hold aggro. Kiting was key.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    EK and Kalimdor used to crash plenty during Vanilla. I'll agree there weren't a lot of game breaking bugs in general, but game definitely would crash quite a bit from time to time during most of Vanilla. The loot lag got fixed pretty quickly though.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The "polish" at release wasn't near the paragon people make it out to be. They've really polished it up over the last 8-9 years. The problem with all the new MMO's isn't just that they are basically clones (although this is a big part of the problem), it's that almost everyone has played WoW...

    Sorry only listed those 3 just cause they all had similar ratings. I don't think anyone should be surprised QB's rating take a little dip in the playoffs, although it is interesting it's so consistent for so many of them. I'm not sure that list is accurate through this year, although Peyton...

    Yes, the pick in OT was a terrible decision, not unlike Farve's throw with Minnesota against the Saints...but also like that game, the team around him could have done so many things better and it never would have gotten to that point. It is what it is.

    When you look at the "elite" QB's of the last 5-10 years, taking Eli Manning, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning specifically...their career playoff passer ratings are as follows: 89.3, 89.1, 88.4. Not exactly a lot of gap between them. Peyton's first 3 years in the playoffs were with teams that...

    I think you mean 3 misses from having those games go to OT instead.

    I know a lot of teams that would have liked to have the motivated Randy Moss the Pats had for a couple years and Wes Welker/Gronk on their teams. It's not completely just Brady.

    All I know is Tom Poti thinks he's healthy enough to play hockey again. I don't know if the Caps actually give him a shot again or just stash him in the minors...but I expect his groin to explode at any moment.

    I assume you mean late pick...because the early pick 6 was clearly a case of pass interference that they didn't call (not the blown PI call or non call that went against Denver either, just the biggest). Frankly while I thought their offense could have done more, they kept having little...

    Seems like the wear and tear it causes leaves team without depth far more exposed too. Literally if you're not 3 deep at safety and 4 deep at corner you're likely to be fucked for at least a couple of games. Honestly for a lot of teams you could push that to 4 and 5 deep.

    Thank goodness for Champ Bailey and Rahim Moore. The one thing I've been very impressed with from Flacco is the lack of turnovers...he's taken care of the ball much better this time around. Also how the hell did Russell Wilson end up with 572 when we held him to under 200...oh wait, Atlanta.

    Devil's advocate...he also had ~100 more passing attempts than Cutler. Flacco did lead in yards per attempt but they were fairly close there.

    What if Atlanta and Baltimore pull it off...then you have the Ryan v. Flacco draft class battle for the Super Bowl. It would be hilarious if Ryan destroyed Flacco and all the jokes Ravens fans love to point in his direction have to go silent.

    One of those wins was the infamous playoff game 4 years ago when the Ravens won with Flacco going something like 4 of 10 for 34 yards. I do not think that will be very relevant for the game this week. That said, they do always play them close, which is why if the line really is +9.5 I'd...

    If the Ravens get officiating on their side for key plays that affect the score as much as they did against Denver, of course they have a chance. That said, losing Gronk does hurt, and I feel like the Ravens D has done a decent job of upsetting Brady in the past. Of course...when you consider...

    Sad to hear, although not surprising. Part of what made dungeons like Scholo and BRD great in Vanilla was how they were not tunnels. Sure there was a lot of trash, but it was an epic experience then. Another reason to never come back. As soon as they went the direction that everyone could...

    To be honest...I don't think it's going to matter much. The Pats know the Ravens think they should have won last year, they know the Ravens think they're over the hump beating them earlier in the season. Half my friends that are Ravens fans are convinced that Brady is "scared" of the Ravens D...

    Caps bring back Eric Fehr...a former 1st rounder of ours who ended up being a moderate bust. He'll probably explode both shoulders again lifting moving boxes.

    Agreed, but at least you have 5 minutes and the knowledge you'd need 2 TD's so you could adjust your game plan to give it a chance. If you score the last TD to make it 38-36 with 6 seconds left and fail the conversion...you're just fucked.

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    It's only one 2 pt conversion though when the deficit is 18. If you get it, you just need a TD and a field goal, if you don't get it, you know you need 2 TD's. I'd rather know I need to score 2 TD's in 5 minutes than just kick the one, get a quick field goal, then if you somehow pull out the...

    Disagree, why force yourself into going for the tie late but if you don't get it then, you have no time to do anything about it.
