Unless the Raiders have some dirt on Veldheer, paying Saffold instead of him seems way dumb. Maybe I'm just a homer after all, but I was expecting better out of the new (Packers-derived) management. Also, the Browns letting Ward go and bringing in Whitner seems way dumb too. So far in the...

Considering how consistently terrible the teams with the most room have been*, it will be interesting to see how much they have to overpay to get anyone. Personally, if I were them, I wouldn't pick up anyone on day one or two, then give the guys that fell through the cracks slightly less than...

Wouldn't even the beginning of Fall be one of the longest gaps they've had? Why the heck did they have a more aggressive raid schedule in MoP if they are going to have that large a wait for the next expansion - especially with all those Titan people sitting around looking for work. Does...

Friday Update: Fox renewed all their scripted shows (New Girl, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Following, and even The Mindy Project) - except for Dads (almost certainly dead), Rake (definitely dead), and Almost Human (guess for yourself). That said, my opinion hasn't changed. Fox canceled the show...

Xardoz. And no, it just seems like a generic pastiche of futurism fears, not anything in specific - it just looks like something from the 70s because of the low budget.

Let's be perfectly clear here: The treatment AH has received is that of a show Fox wrote off in Week 3 or so (scheduled in holidays, opposite the Olympics, no backorder, not admitting no backorder (because everyone in the industry knows what that means) for as late as possible, etc.) The...

Err, didn't everyone think the cap was going to explode a couple years ago, and then nothing? Sure, there is the CBS TNF deal (minus whatever losses from the NFL Network as a result), but I don't remember any other major TV deals upcoming.

Reading through the online coverage, is anyone else not surprised by I just assumed every major lore character would get taken off the board* in some way, as Lore character A and slightly different history Lore character A' handing out quests next to each other would get really silly. *I...

Not quite. Massive scifi-opera operating in what the previous movies suggested was just the real world, weird not-human-but-look-like-human races, freaking enemies named necro-somethings? This is going to end up like Chronicles of Riddick. As far as the summer as a whole goes, I liked to...

I haven't paid attention to EQ in years, but I believe Kreugen has the correct summary: There was a short dark period, where if you got an Accuracy (hit) piece you might have to swap three other pieces to make up for the Strikethrough (expertise) you lost in the upgrade. To solve that problem...

If Feb / March NPDs are as bad as assumed for MS, they'll likely stop shipments in mid-April, and restart them with a Kinect-less, cheaper SKU announced at E3 and available in stores that week. And I've been saying for months, E3 2014 will be the mother of all moneyhats for MS. Shadow...

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise: Gamasutra - Irrational Games, journalism, and airing dirty laundry

1) Save Our Show campaigns are pointless. When even "People spending money" campaigns (peanuts + shipping for Jericho, Subway for Chuck) results in renewals with no ratings increase, there's no reason to suggest that something as low effort as clicking a button sways anyone - the ratings will...

Given how little effort it takes to hit 90 (especially with heirlooms the 2nd+ time around), this should be priced so highly that it is clearly only for people with more money than sense/time. They properly hit that. Disclaimer: My lowest level out of the 11 classes is 86, so it would literally...

Can you guys really not read PR? "2K is closing us down, but is still keeping me on contract with a limited budget. I'm taking the blame (and should, since it was my job keeping Irrational profitable enough to stay alive)." I've been saying it for years: the future is 20 disc based games a...

Yet again, the unmentioned story is Nintendo's worrying sales... of the 3DS. Sub 130k, when all of the existing tentpoles (they still have Smash coming, unlike previous gens) are out, is just not good. I'm not sure even the GBA-ish sales arc they were mirroring is believable anymore. Or to...

Can someone explain why this Sam deal is the overwhelming story of the NFL right now? Wasn't there some openly gay kicker last year that was trying to get on a roster? Why's everyone going nuts just because this guyshould, as opposed tocould, get drafted? I'm confused.

God Cleveland is a tire fire.

Vorph has the correct conclusion: It's (Gran Turismo) Metal Gear Solid 5 Prologue, but priced way more expensively.

Add a bye week (best solution for that is to get rid of the fourth preseason game), have every TNF game take place after a bye week, done. We've covered this before.

Well, eventually they got to answering these questions! Over at theavclub, they said the pilot's twist ending that was cut was finding out... Kennex's dad was a robot, or at least a robot duplicate of him exists, which brings even more Fringe-duplication into the picture. If you haven't...

We're all in agreement that what they are showing now is the "oh crap emergency power outage" footage that they have been forced to use because they ran out of anything else 30 mins ago, right?

What a crock on this Coke ad, we don't have black people outside of Milwaukee. (Seriously, there are so few blacks in Green Bay that there's a "roster" of black chicks there that the players rotate through for lack of anyone else.)

Is this really worse than 01's Ravens murder Giants? Honest question.

Is this the Super Bowl or a really high-res version of this week's "Breaking Madden"?

So how long until all we have left is arguing over which SB this has been the worst since? I don't think it will top 03's "Err, Gruden knows all our plays", but the score looks closer to 01's "Ray Lewis murders Kerry Collins".

Wow this game is over already.

Manning-bot had better update his algorithms quickly, because this is rapidly getting out of hand.

Supposedly they are all over Best Buys, and I actually saw two at the local Target today. If they are regularly in stock now,then the numbers for February and beyond should be an "accurate" view of demand.

Forget the snow, the only factor that matters is wind. If the winds are 15+ mph, I give it to Seattle. Otherwise, the Broncos win by 10. With the current weather forecast, I am going with the Broncos.

Just because Glover and Oliver have similar last names doesn't mean they're interchangeable. Otherwise, I thought it was pretty meh, though Britta paying the deaf girl off was a pretty great move. (I'm not entirely sure I like 'Competent Britta'. I kind of liked that one Hollywood show would...

Yes, they could have "fixed" the Mako... simply by cutting the size of each world down by 50% (or more) and having areas that you had to look around for the right valleys to get into. The problem was less the Mako's controls than the total time you had to spend in the thing to find everything.

ME1. Then again, I'm on record (not that FoH exists anymore, but whatever) as saying every Bioware game is worse than the last one since at least KotOR. ME1 has flaws - the shooting is terrible (since in truth all they did was bolt on some weak realtime projectiles to the KotOR engine)...

I've got it on in the background on mute. I think I'm turning the sound on! Massive improvement from the Pro Bowl this year!

Just because one of his numbers was right doesn't mean the other one is. I've never seen a PS4 in the wild. Ever. Whereas the Target I hit tonight had 5 XB1s sitting on the shelves, and I've seen dozens if not hundreds over the last couple months at various stores*, again, compared to zero...

He was getting some action in the restroom. Insert joke about male stewards here.

Can NFL players stop doing the shoelace bit when they get the wind knocked out of them? They aren't fooling anyone.

Yep, make everything reviewable, but keep the 2/3 limit. It might make games five minutes longer, but fixes egregious errors like that.

Have we entered the "Holy shit this game is getting out of hand, refs call fouls on Denver" phase of the game? I am sorely tempted to switch my pick to 49ers. Wilson hasn't been great and no Harvin, and the 49ers have been to this rodeo. But I just think home field wins out by two points or so.

We've covered this before. Sure, smartphone chip technology continues to evolve, but heat dissipation, battery life, and file distribution (some PS4 games are 40 Gigs!) are much bigger issues than people consider. Not to mention control scheme problems and network reliability. The games...
