I think I was down to just a couple of the glider ones in Nagrand, but man will those (and Arch) be easier.

My last ten minutes: "Oh yeah, there was a preseason game at noon, I should see if anyone got hurt. Well, fuck."

You can't legally break a contract that way, but teams generally do release the player, without even going after the prorated portion of the signing bonus the players are legally obligated to return. That said, if all these former 49ers suddenly show up on teams next year, I suspect the...

That depends on how many of these retirements are genuine, and how many are creating such a work environment that people are willing to take a year off to break their contracts. And even then we won't KNOW how many of those retirements were fake, and how many were initially genuine but turned...

Nice to see us getting up to mid-season form. But honestly, in the current Fantasy Football era, doesn't everyone have a rough idea ofeveryteam's likely outcomes this year? Off the top of my head: Packers: Offense should be just fine, defense takes a step back, still win division. Lions...

Again, no one is arguing that preseason should be axed, they just argue it should be condensed down to two games (even if the duration of "Training Camp" stays unchanged). Hell, Preseason Game 4 is widely regarded as almost completely useless (a team might decide between the #4 and #5 WR, and...

I forget, do the keepers have variable prices, or are they "free"?

Raylan movesnearhis ex (so he can actually be a father), but ex marries some other dude.

Like we've been saying since about the day after the Super Bowl (even before they picked up all the Free Agents), the Colts are probably a worse team than the Ravens/Steelers/etc., but far more likely to be in the AFC Championship game because those AFC North teams beat each other up and ruin...

It sure sounds like "THROW EVERYTHING WE HAVE IN" to me too. Legion, Naga, Emerald Dream, Pirate Isles? Honestly, aside from "Kill off the Old Gods and Titans", what dangling plot threads are left?

There was practically nothing in this movie that sticks in my mind two days later. It still may have topped Ultron for my #2 movie of the year. This is no Mad Max, but check it out nonetheless.

That's what many of us have been saying. Vegas still has Packers/Seahawks/Colts as better odds, but I sure as hell wouldn't bet on any of them over a Belichick/Brady team with a grudge.

It's as if the special effects for "Oh god, we're hideous monsters" was finished forever ago - long enough ago to be in theoriginaltrailer. It's as if the special effects for "Generic superhero movie #3,417" are being added up to the very last minute, as they rush to turn "Oh god, we're...

Can we move Bradygate* to a new thread? Because I'd rather have Itlan and Araysar back than listen to Azeth and (especially) Lenardo giving legal advice. Though nicely aggressive of the NFL to file first (presumably to keep it out of Minnesota and David Doty's hands). Safe to say any...

Not only do I not understand what will happen with the servers, I don't even know what used to be going on with them. I.e. my main server suddenly got an EU or UK added to the name a couple months back... but all those servers were and are physically in the US, regardless of name?

DQ8 was my RPG of the PS2 era, and only the sheer lunacy of Shadow Hearts: Covenant comes close. DQ9 was way more disappointing than most reviewers claimed, filled with archaic design decisions. Not to the game as a whole, but the modern stuff they added. "You can only hold 10 quests at a...

Even if Simmons got Sal the head writing spot, I doubt he'd leave Kimmel, especially when late night is about to get weird with Letterman gone. Speaking of which, any recommendations for Monday wrap-up podcasts until at least October? Dave Dameshek signal/noise ratio gets out of hand, Ross...

Well, duh. 1) As you said, the 'no meaning' clause means they can bring her back 17 movies down the line if they want to, with an actress younger than anyone else involved. 2) At one of the scales while Scott's shrinking, there's a cloud that looks suspiciously like a woman pointing, so I...

Having Batman be pissed at Superman for the massive property damage and lives lost inMan of Steeland Superman apparently creating his own archenemy, if the rumors are to be believed, due toseems waaaay too smart to be Zack Synder's work and smells more like the DC brass digging out of the hole...

Yeah, that was another thing that bugged me. As near as I can tell, that scene takes placeduringCaptain America 3 (I can't recall another Marvel teaser that jumpsintoanother movie), which doesn't just require the audience to know the other Marvel movies to understand it, but requires them to...

I liked it well enough, but it seemed like it had some significant editing issues.

/lecture mode: Cable channels, unlike oldschool broadcast channels, get their money from two sources: the first is advertising spots (like broadcast), and the second is what the cable systems (Time Warner, Charter, Comcast) pay the cable channels to air them every month (usually called...

Hollywood chatter isreallynegative on this (Josh Trank got fired from his next job directing a Star Wars spinoff already), with a bunch of reshoots to try and turn it from the original product (basically a big budget version of Trank's Chronicle (Oh god, we're all freaks now:emoji_nose: to something...

That hole doesn't look that deep: Avengers 2 came out. Cap 3 is coming. Thor 3 is coming. Black Panther is coming. The 'Californian droughts' and 'Strucker dead in his cell' don't jump out at me though. As for the movie itself, I love Paul Rudd, and feel bummed for Edgar Wright...

I liked it at the time, but two weeks later, all I can remember is "limp-dicked unicorn". And probably the best non-sequitur of the decade, "There's a mouse on my tits".

It's entirely possible that the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals are 3 of the 6 best teams in the AFC again, but the odds of them all being in the playoffs are low: those inter-division games they'll play screw up their in-division records (and the wildcard tiebreakers run through the in-division...

Nah, the assumption is Gaumont (who actually makes the show; they just sell it to NBC for peanuts in the US) will now have time to line up where Season 4 will go before the finale, or edit it to turn it into a series finale if need be.

Windows recognizes the 360 and Bone WIRED controllers automatically. The wireless versions need a USB dongle - either packed in the box (the 360 box will say 'for Windows' to let you know its in there), with the Windows 10 dongle coming soon. The PS4 version needs fan-made software...

What do you mean 'fans'?Everyonethinks that. Hell, I'm a pretty even-headed sports person, and even I think they're going to end up fourth in the division (though not anywhere near 1st overall draft pick).

Phil Spencer over at giantbomb.com , sounds like anything but Kinect and (for the moment) multi-disc games should be doable with Xbone/360 backwards compatibility.

FF9 is one of my favorite entries. Even I admit the battle speed is downright snail-paced*, and the Necron fight is out of nowhere. As everyone should know, 9 didn't even start off as a mainline FF game, it was just a nostalgia remix that got bumped up to full numeral status. Fans of FF9...

There was dick-all for the WiiU. Good. Whether you are a Nintendo fan or not, the sooner they stop supporting the Dead System Walking that is the Wii U and start working on NX games, the better for the company.

He looks likeMark Duplass - IMDbwith an enormous fake chin.

Aside from the PS4 $400 year, Ubisoft has bizarrely had it on lock for years. I am tempted to give it to Bethesda for Fallout 4 alone.

Nah, I liked 12 as well in its weird single-player MMO sense. The storyline though is garbage. "Brave hero finds out mystical beings have enslaved humanity, travels the world to collect artifacts to defeat them... until your party, pissed off that he rolled through your town for one of those...

Now that I think about it, the complete lack of Project Robot and Shield mentions in the Nintendo thing basically confirms they are smaller scale digital titles? I assume 2 out of the 4 Treehouse reveals?

Oh god, yet another Final Fantasy ranking thread. So just to add fire: I have no interest in this game. FF7 was a good but not great RPG that was worse than its predecessor in a number of ways (music (aside from One Winged Angel) in first place). Square wasting their time and money remaking...

Man, I hope that PC conference has something decent, because I literally can't think of my highlight of E3 so far. Edit: I guess the South Park sequel? Although Obsidian isn't involved, which was half of the appeal of the first one?

Well, at least they are still supporting the 3DS for another year, even if they are just weird offshoots of the main brands (Fire Emblem aside).

Rockstar doesn't do E3, they don't need/want to share the spotlight on any game announcements.
