I could use a hat, for a change of pace. (I dunno if it should be upside-down because, you know, Australia.)

Err, what's left to be blown up? Yeah, they will draft Big Ben's eventual replacement this year (yet probably give him an extension for salary cap reasons), but Ike Taylor, Troy Polamalu, and Heath Miller are about the only guys whose salary situations would warrant them getting the axe (and I...

Well, the common explanation is that by the time the Packers get knocked out of the playoffs, all the good candidates are taken. That won't be an issue this year, obviously. As usual, the Packers have, on paper, a quality roster that just can't stay on the field. (Remember, the week before...

It's a whopping half hour before the normal Sunday start times. Whoopideedoo? Also, it's cute that you think the rest of the country does, or should, care about your timezone. Those occasional MNF games that end at 1AM on the East Coast suck a lot more.

Yep, the best player on the field in high school is the average player in college, and the best player on the field in college is average, at best, in the NFL. QBs can get away with all sorts of things at lesser levels because they are virtually a man among boys out there. You try that crap...

Some buddies of mine were making plans to get together to watch the game a couple weeks back. I said "It's totally getting flexed out - both teams will be in third place in their divisions by then." Shows you what I know - the Falcons have already fallen to fourth place in the NFC South!

Of all the ways to end a game...

In regards to the playoffs, I said it last week, and I'll say it again: I've got no clue who will be - or even should be - in the Conference games. In the NFC, you could make a strong case for the Saints losing at the Seahawks. But the AFC? Hell man, Bengals losing at the Patriots seems as...

Nah, they need to get Manning out of there anytime they are up by 21 or more.

Neither one of them collapsed, they just had lopsided schedules catch up to them. And speaking of the Packers, even with the return of the Once and Future King, Matt Flynn, we still can't even beat the Vikings without Rodgers.

Come on, throw to Colston for the TD!

WHHHHHYYYY would you try for a field goal? Why?

Meh, very little progression in any plotline, like many South Park middle chapters. (Strictly speaking, weren't most of the weiners inserted (/drumroll) by the tv producers? If Martin had a chorus of excessive coverage, it would be about food.) Am I the only one that honestly hopes they...

Nah, it's even goofier - Garrosh showed up there two or three years ago, so its like 27 or 28 years in the past. So it's an alternate universe AND time traveling portal.

PI should be, at most, 15 yards (maybe an auto First Down, maybe). Getting a 80 yard penalty because the guymighthave been able to catch it is the same sort of "guessing the future" nonsense that led to the end of the force out penalty. Looking at the standings, when the hell did the...

If the Panthers only get a field goal here, they lose. Dunno why they aren't trying to stay inbounds either.

Why the hate with the date? What games are still coming out this year, and why wouldn't you think the game reviewers that vote for these things wouldn't be able to play release candidates for them at this point anyway? Honestly, the only thing that jumps out at me is PC game. I find it...

Let's be clear, everyone has them and KC as playoff teams. That's not remotely the same thing as saying you expect them to make a playoff run. Given the way the Patriots, Bengals, and Colts have played in any given week though, I honestly have no clue what the AFC Championship game will...

Meh. Admittedly, I fell out of Fringe, and only caught the final season months later. But there's little here to suggest that I won't catch up to AH this summer as well, assuming it survives. The twist was weak - as soon as you saw girl legs, there were only two candidates, girlfriend and...

Did Tolzien even look anywhere else? This ain't Brady-at-his-prime the Giants are beating here.

You guys ready for the return of the Once and Future King, Matt Flynn, next week!.... Anyone? Maybe the Packers can squeeze out one win (between the Vikings and Falcons in Green Bay) before Rodgers comes back.

Big Ben is on fire in that prison jumper. Weird.

It's the usual stars vs. scrubs salary cap issue. They have, what, 8 guys taking up half their cap? If more than 2 of them get injured, you're done. Honestly, the last couple years suggest that depth is the biggest issue in the modern era, given how often people get hurt. (See San Fran...

I think God is punishing the Bears for their incompetence. "You injured the Packers out of the playoff race, and you're still going to lose the division to the Lions? No more football for you, you don't deserve it." I could do without the flooding in my basement that punishment is currently...

The Shield, especially for the time. Lost has a lot of supporters with the plane crash sequence.

Bah, just realized that 2299 puts it at only 21 years after F3 / 18 years after FNV. Was hoping for a different era - honestly, bouncing between super sci-fi MIT and the Wasteland (as rumored) might not be such a terrible idea.

I didn't say I wanted it on a console, I meant that I hope it is designed around systems with at least 5 GB of memory and decent graphics, and not designed for something that will be (at that point) a decade old. Hell, just for bug fixes alone you should be playing on PC.

Sure smells like a cinematic at the VGAs. As the game I was most bummed to not have an appearance at E3, about time. I sure hope it is next gen only.

Boo, I thought (barring some gruesome injury) we had come to some unspoken agreement that we weren't going to comment on this inevitable beatdown.

To repeat, the smallest gap between announcement and release was 9 months for Pandaria; I believe all the expansions have been in beta for at least 5 months before release. May is about the earliest reasonable date; September, maybe later, is the likeliest.

Yes, but I have a hard time imagining most of the account flows aren't: 1) Take existing level 90 to new territory (skip rebalanced territory). 2) Bump non-90 character to 90 and take to new territory (skip rebalanced territory). Sure, a handful of people will use the to-90 feature, check...

Well, the item squish needed to happen, probably now (boss health would soon get beyond an int data type @ 2.1 billion). The problem is I have no faith in their ability to correctly rebalance everything in the game anytime soon. (Is that the real stealth reason for the "Raise to 90 feature"...

Yeah, given the state we've seen things so far, I don't expect it before September at the earliest.

I'm pretty underwhelmed. The zones don't look different enough for me to care, and the idea of "fighting orcs everywhere all the time!" makes me sigh. (Hell, its the worst parts of Cata (rehashed stuff) mixed with the worst parts of SWTOR (same models everywhere). Blech.) I'll buy it and...

Any stat that is best until X then useless afterwards is going to be a disaster. Move speed just seems like a mess for pvp balancing.

"In addition to offering four tiers of difficulty as in Patch 5.4, we're also extending our Flexible Raid scaling technology to Normal difficulty raiding." So they are indeed flexing Normal, but keeping it a distinct difficulty.

I kinda like the idea of redoing the Outlands 58-70 quests because (I assume) this is a different timeline. Bumping the level cap to 100 says (to me) that they tossed their original "legion at 95, old gods at 100" plan after Titan blew up and a decade from now people will be running around at...

Uhh yeah, the division winners always get seeds 1-4. You could have a #5 seed be 15-1, if two teams in the same division beat everyone else and split the series.

No, it was all over but the crying. Well, more of a statewide "ffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccc ccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk" to be accurate.
