Pretty sure the GM needs to go first in Dallas...

Arguing with some people over The Hobbit changes made me realize I never gave this game a try. Where (if anywhere) do people go for forums for "rotations" and such? Or is the combat so trivial at low levels it does not matter? Also, are there any significant differences in the storylines...

It's unclear (to me, anyway) if War of 5 and Dol Guldur are separate events or not in the movie version, but add in Smaug and you have up to three long set pieces. It certainly seems like they will do something with Mirkwood, given the Legolas and Tauriel stuff 'invented' for this movie...

My review isn't anything you haven't already heard: it's better than the first chunk; I'm still looking forward to the fan edits that chop this movie down to about 1 hour once all three parts are out (just subtract the elf-on-orc killing and you're halfway there); some of the special effects are...

Yeah, if Bears lose to Eagles, and Packers lose to Steelers (especially without Aaron Rodgers, neither outcome is all that unlikely), then if Lions win out they take the division. If they don't all the coaches are fired. That division is going down to the wire.

I think we all expected the FG for the win, if not the interception.

Wow, I can't believe the Cowboys could suck enough to give the Packers the win. Also, do I still have time to make the front of the line for "I can't believe the Cardinals are sitting home in January while the Ravens/Dolphins aren't! Ban the conferences!"

Or unlike their fans, the administration has some level of intelligence and decided that actually knowing if Cutler is the future or not is worth more than a Wildcard weekend appearance they're 80+% likely to lose. /Realizing the irony in saying "administration with some level of...

I must be a simpleton, because after just the meta- in Glover's "Son of a bitch, after all that show did for him!", I am totally back in.

Trailer finally prompted me to read the English adaptation. I have to say I hate Emily Blunt for the role - the book version of her is a joined at 16, manner-less farmer's daughter that's turned into the world's foremost killing machine from being stuck in a loop for hundreds of battles. I still...

Yeah, with how variable everyone else is in the AFC right now, I think the Bengals are the best team no one is talking about. I'd think they would be a massive underdog vs. the Seahawks though.

I'm definitely in; the conceit that this is attempt #14,836 (or whatever) explains away the usual absurdities the action hero gets away with. As to why is Cruise constantly doing sci-fi, it's a two-step question. Step 1 is why is Cruise in so many big action movies - the answer is because...

Were Fight and I the only ones to see this? Because if so, good. This was not a good movie, despite the cast.

Eh, that was still quite a few shades from Coughlin Cold.

Yep, if the Shanaclan get fired, they still get the money remaining on their contracts and can apply for open positions elsewhere immediately. Why wouldn't they try every passive* tactic possible? *Passive as in not being put in breach of contract. No shots at ownership. It may take years to...

As disc-based retail games become a smaller and smaller chunk of the market, that seems like a bad idea.

My verdict on Fringe is that the first 13 episodes are very monster-or-the-weeky, although it turns out that the producers were playing a very subtle game, and hidden in those first 13 episodes are dialogue bits, acting choices, and even wardrobe choices that are all hint at the underlying...

Ugh, way to ruin Christmas. And Christmas 2014. And Christmas 2015.

If you're going by today, the Panthers sure look like they will win against the NFC East or North entry wildcard weekend, but don't have much of a shot against Seattle or New Orleans in the divisional round.

I dunno, the Packers (without Rodgers) may very well be the worst team in the league. Edit: Wait, there's the Eddie Lacy injury we needed to cap it.

Rodgers officially out for Sunday vs. Falcons. While I could see them not put Rodgers on IR (its not like they have the guys sitting on the practice squad that would get them wins, if only there was room on the gameday roster) so he can still practice, I don't think he touches the field again...

I'm a bit confused. Firing your coach before the season is over makes sense when you are going after the college pool, because you can get first crack at them and you can interview them during a relative dead period. Firing your coach when you are limiting yourself to NFL only coaches...

FF8's gameplay was shit, with auto-leveling and the Draw system some of the worst ideas to come out of the entire Final Fantasy series. The music was pretty damn rad - The Landing, Maybe I'm a Lion, Mods de Chocobo, Don't Be Afraid, and motherfucking Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec.

Well, every detective-type show has a female cop with big titties. (Speaking of which, add Alcatraz to the list! Mmm, Sarah Jones' boobs...) But I was referring toEleventh Hour (TV Series 2008-2009) - IMDb, which ran on CBS, Thursdays @10pm I think. Premiering the same season as Fringe...

Dollhouse, Terminator, Flashforward, Terra Nova, Eleventh Hour, Threshold, Invasion, (arguably) Lost, (arguably) Chuck, (questionably) Journeyman - and that's just off the top of my head! Of course, few of those shows even lived for two seasons...

The Cowboys have to have a record for most QBs since 1999 now coaching the team, though. (Broncos need it to go to 1998 to have most QBs now effectively GM. History is getting weird.)

Sigh, up until a couple weeks ago the Packers had to go all the way back to 1991 to get a 4th/5th QB in the list.

J August Richards (the black guy in Angel & the pilot) is back next week, and yeah, I expect him to bite it.

Because there are times (usually when you are trying to build an audience at the beginning, or trying to get the best ratings for sweeps) when not airing a clunker is the #1 goal. Personally, that Fox execs thought "Skin" was the best option out of at least four episodes (2, 3, 4, & 5) makes...

Considering Iknowthat CoD just uses a chunk of the Quake(world) netcode for multiplayer (and not rendering or whatever it is you are suggesting), I wouldn't say everyone lol. The "truth" is that the CoDs are on such a tight production schedule that this year's entries are still firmly...

As I've been saying, don't be surprised if the XB1 is a lot closer to the PS4 than the consensus thinks for the first four or five months. Of course, this is largely due to Supply, not Demand, though the wildcard remains Microsoft's willingness to checkbook exclusives (and we're already down...

Yeah, as long as it is limited to X per side, there's no downside to it, and it is a whole lot more consistent. I also advocate having allpotentialscoring plays automatically reviewed upstairs, not just the ones that are initially ruled as scores.

Ah, round 1 of your playoffs is combined Weeks 14 & 15 as well. (How the hell did I make the playoffs? Wait, I see, pure luck - Spodermans and I tied for lowest Points Against.) How does 6 teams in your consolation bracket work with only 2 "games" remaining?

And again, the lasting effect of the referee strike should have been... to make people realize how often even the real refs fuck up. Dunno what the blonde female official was mouthing in the background, looked like "fucked".

Wow, that 3rd down situation was fucked.

I thought kicking the ball away was an auto-foul, why are they consulting.

With games vs. Seahawks and @Lions remaining all but guaranteeing the Giants finish sub-.500, what do people think the odds are Coughlin retires? Also, this week's TNF game is probably the #1 draft pick bowl, isn't it.

Out of curiosity, I checked out this episode after skipping everything since the pilot. I also just saw it as pure skillz and being remorseful she could kill so many people that day. Also, I am shocked as to how bad this show still is. Is this show really going to be this terrible for the...

And in yet another weekly refrain, I have no idea who will be in the AFC Championship game: Broncos defense is weak, and who knows how much offense Manning will manage in mid-January weather. Patriots nearly lost to the last place Texans. Chiefs offense doesn't exist, though they could stun...

Last place is first place! (That said, I don't expect the Texans to even lose right, and I think one or two teams slip past them...)
