And has been pointed out on half the internet already, Ozumat, the end boss of the Throne of Tides CAT dungeon, is a "Fiend of the Dark Below".

The NFL wants to take further steps. The NFLPA doesn't want to take that step, though much like Bountygate, the only result of their opposition is a higher chance of injuries to the members of their Union! However, the NFLPA has no rational reason to oppose testing, and the only excuse they...

I think that this year's sales will be a lot closer than people think in the US (assuming yields allow it). Most of the Xbros I know are still keeping with the brand. Once April or so rolls around, then we'll get the one-sided results you guys are predicting. I still insist E3 2015 will be...

I just don't see how Walt and Hank circling each other for 7 episodes is sustainable, even with the "Jesse is a problem / Walt tries to bump off Jesse / Jesse becomes new Heisenerg" arc playing in parallel.

I don't think the Eagles are doing shit this year.IFthe system works in the NFL (and we have no evidence it will, yet), Kelly doesn't seem to have the personnel for it this year. I think the tail end of the 2014 and the 2015 seasons will be interesting, but I don't expect anything out of this...

I'm just watching the Bengals game fulltime on ESPN. It struck me that I've never watched a preseason game before Hard Knocks turned it into their coverage; I wanted to see what the producers' manipulations are like.

Unless Dalton's leg literally rips off on the practice field, I don't see how this is going to be great television. I mean, it's a reality TV show, they can manufacture story lines based on if certain charismatic newbies make it or not (much like half of Miami's Hard Knocks season last year)...

Nah, Matt Brown was undrafted. (For that matter, Coleman was 7th round in 2012, Harrell was undrafted.)

It's possible that GB will use VY for defensive practice, but I truly think that the larger part of it is just that the terrible tandem of Graham Harrell and BJ Coleman scares no one. (Especially since the OL will be patchwork again, and Rodgers won't by lucky forever.) If VY is better, one of...

I just assume any long term fan of the Bengals (or Browns, or Jaguars) had long since turned to multiple drug use.

Well, the show has struggled to find uses for both characters. I liked the original idea of Chris, as a smiling incompetent Good Cop (whose actual work was done by Bad Cop Ben), but that was too mean-spirited for this show. Instead he just turned into this source of endless optimism... which...

Linder ended up as expected. Speaking of which, last week's timing on the chief's "Think Harder, Audience!" speech happened like clockwork, as we got our first reversal this week. I'm just about ready to dock the show points for making The Bridge "Killer" so obviously Tim Cooper (the tech...

At this point, even a Gamecube-level subsistence seems out of reach. Remember, the distinguishing feature of the system (the bottom half of a DSi as controller) keeps the console expensive (according to Nintendo, anyway), eliminating the option of a $99 budget box. As for software, you've...

And I think I say this every year: No, it's about average. ACLs just stick out since they are the easiest injury to get (hell, they can be non-contact, even) that knock you out for a year. And I also say this every year: Is there really no way to rejigger training camp to lessen these ACL...

I don't know about safe. MoP came out in Sep of 12, and since BC, the most they've gone is 25 months. (Plus virtually all of the Titan people are, in theory, available for work inside Blizzard.) If anything, an announcement at Blizzcon, a beta server starting that day (which every Blizzcon...

Now now, be nice. It's the only time the Cowboys' fans have to be hopeful until next training camp.

Dear internet (here and elsewhere): Stop being stupid. In both MS and Sony's case, it's not reservedforthe OS, it's reservedbythe OS. The only way to assume a game will run correctly along with one or more of the the non-game things modern consoles do (Twitch streaming / Kinect camera /...

Eli's situation is just too fluid for me to guess at. He's got three years left on the deal; he'll be around 35 when it ends. If the Giants get deep into the playoffs, sure, I see a couple year extension, but otherwise I see them sitting on it, especially if a new coach comes in. As to the...

Strikes me as extremely dumb. Theworstcase for making him play out the year is a Flacco situation - but they just gave him Flacco money anyway! (Note: I think the Falcons' championship window is closing - and a bunch of money tied to Ryan won't help matters.)

I wasn't expecting them to confirm (or name) the white ringleaders this early. I wasn't expecting the police chief to say "Hey dipshits, none of the story we've given you so far lines up!" either, but the internet as a whole isn't catching on. One thing I forgot to mention last week was the...

Well, it's the old argument of consistency vs. peaks. I don't think there were any outright bad entries this year; there were also no outstanding episodes. Bot Seeks Bot was good, but it was no Victor Echo November or Operation PROM.

The internet suggests that the made-for-DVD movie they had planned would have aired between Season 5 and 6, which also explains why tonight wasn't very finale-riffic. Instead of the DVD movie, we are getting 12 episodes for Season 6, with the first two being bigger in scope (though with this...

Is it just me (or The Killing guilt by association), but does this smell like the kind of show where every plot twist is going to be preposterous? The Bridge Killer is actually Immigration Batman, using his surveillance knowledge to get back at the cartels. It will turn out he killed neither...

Well, you usually get 4+ team turnover, but that's leaguewide; last year, 5 out of 6 AFC teams repeated, including all 4 divisional champs repeating. I'm the most vocal person saying the Colts won't be back, but it's not impossible that they beat out the Dolphins and Steelers for the last WC...

The Jets are only screwing up his development if he is able to go in and start Week 1. Which we have no evidence for. Then again, I am already on record as saying "The Jets fucked up." Either they had to have: No Rex and no Sanchez, with a full regime change. OR Rex and Sanchez and no new...

Some guy on The AV Club points out that "Where is my wife? I think the plane is going down." Monarch's parents died in a plane crash. Which means that (for once), Monarch is not related to a Venture.

Same here - money and keepers only work well in person, in my experience.

NFC North: Packers South: Saints East: Giants West: 49ers Wildcards: Falcons, Seahawks AFC North: Bengals South: Texans East: Patriots West: Broncos Wildcards: Ravens, Dolphins I think Falcons slip past the Bears to get the wildcard. At this point anyway.

Yeah, it's underappreciated, but schedule matters tremendously in a league with so few games per season. Sure, the strength of schedule balancing evens things out over thelong termof multiple years, but on aseasonalbasis, getting, say, the weak AFC division and the weak NFC division can lead to...

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either, but looking at the list, only that 28-24 stunner against the Seattle Seahawks last season qualifies. (There are a good number of wins vs. 8-8 teams, and Drew Stanton was at the helm for their upsets at the end of 2010.) Personally, I put this into the...

I went into it knowing that it was essentially an archeologist/anthropologist's extremely detailed D&D (specifically, Forgotten Realms) setting, which helped immensely. Seeing magical analogs to neanderthals, ice ages, etc. was neat, and I found it interesting that as the books progressed, he...

And I'm pretty sure it was because NBC killed every single new comedy they tried this year (6 of them!), already had The Office and 30 Rock ending, and finally put Up All Night and Whitney out of their misery. (Just so we're clear, not counting Community, NBC only hadonecomedy - out ofeleven...

Actually, sort of yes: both shows are adaptations of Danish TV shows, the American versions run by women who used to work on Cold Case. The Bridge is getting far better reviews than The Killing, however, and seems well worth your time to check out, especially given the slim TV pickings in the...

Wasn't one of the last things Harmon-ity did was move Troy into the air conditioner repair school? While the other guys didn't do anything with the concept (or even mention it?), Harmon could just write off Glover's availability as him off being AC Messiah again. Honestly, I feel bad for...

I'm not subscribed atm, but I wanted to see the 5.3 time-limited stuff before it poofed. 1) How long does the only-during 5.3 stuff (a one time quest line in orgrimmar and daily stuff in barrens I will do once, apparently) take? 2) Any rough estimate on when 5.4 is coming out (and thus...

Well, football players do get endorsement deals, but less than other sports: 1) There's 22+ players on the field every game for football, vs. 5+ for basketball. (There are also 32 NFL teams vs 30 NBA/MLB, but that's a tiny difference.) There's just more players out there splitting the ad deals...

Weren't the Bengals the team in just 2009, and there was no 2011 entry? Are there really only three teams now crazy/dumb enough to sign up for it? (Cue jokes about Mike Brown being desperate to come up with more money now that there's a much higher salary floor here.)

I'm surprised people are surprised about X1 bans too. Haven't there been enough horror stories regarding the same situation with Origin?

What's to lol about? Given how recently Windows 8 came out, I certainly hope MS had dev kits out before then. Also, Direct X 11 is available on both OSes.

Eh, there's enough going on there with the muscles and the fur. But yeah, we are nearly at the point where art budget, not graphical power, is the limiting factor. I'm not sure how any new consoles fix that.
