I had no idea who the hell "Freddy" was either; I thought it was some Sarah Shahi role I didn't know. 1) I don't think she was ever called Freddy in Angel. 2)She's been recurring on this show for a year, why mention it now. I don't know what to make of the backstory now. Finch/Nathan...

We still don't know if this was always the plan or if it was changed due to consumer outcry; if anything, you should wonder why MS would have to put out an internal email explaining how the situation has always been. This still doesn't necessarily answer any questions about the system...

Wow, that's a deep Ringworld pull. However, you forget we still have to go through the Wirehead cull of the population first, which should weed out the easily blissed. (Thanks for reminding me Fate of Worlds is out!)

I didn't think it was bad. I do agree with the people who think that retconning it so they were secretly fated to be together violates the whole damn theme of the show, sure, but I didn't think it was bad. I thought it was mediocre. The laughs / 22 minutes just aren't there, and haven't...

Between this, Iron Man 3, and Elysium, it certainly sounds like the summer of the leftist action movie. It's not unheard of; 2006 with the year of the feel-bad action movie, between Smoking Aces, Blood Diamond, and Children of Men; it's just weird how projects percolate up at the same time.

I wasn't expecting anyone to revive Starcraft: Ghost, but good for Activision for trying to monetize Blizzard harder. One of these days Blizzard will finally get around to nickle-and-diming people like they're supposed to! In all seriousness, like AC4, it's a cross-gen game that probably...

Normally I'd be all over this topic, but this year so many networks did their renewals already that we're down to: 1) How many comedy pilots does NBC like, so how many can they kill of (in rough order of most likely to least): Up All Night, 1600 Penn, Guys With Kids, Community, New Normal...

I have an extremely hard time imagining Xbox delays the launch. I can imagine console supply is limited this Christmas, and the software situation is dire, but I just can't imagine MS delays the launch in the US and probably Europe. The more interesting thing we're hearing is all the chatter...

IhateGeno Smith to the Jets. Look, Rex is getting fired on Black Monday. So now the Jets can only go with coaches who think Smith is the answer? If he doesn't work out, we're talking, what, 2015? 2016? before they go with another QB? Then, look at the financial angle. (IIRC) The Jets take...

Will the Packers ever pick again? It's not like we could use DT, S, CB, or WR depth or anything.

As someone who doesn't watch college football, who the fuck is this cro-magnon Mathieu and why should I care?

Eh, I don't think it's that big a deal. The draft was about 10 likely successes and then 40 probable successes. The Raiders therefore went from 1 likely success to 2 probable successes. Quite frankly, the Raiders need 2 decent guys more than the #3 pick and some guy off the street...

Boo, was hoping Floyd would stick around to Packers. Dunno if they go with Sylvester Williams or trade to a QB team now.

What, the Bears have OL issues and the tackles are gone. Not seeing the surprise.

Also: this is going to be a long ass first round. With so few superstars, everyone sane will be tempted to trade down, and everyone will wait until the last minute for trade offers.

Here's the real question, who do the Raiders trade the number 12 pick to?

Miami is disturbingly going for it this year. I mean, Ireland will be fired if they don't do something, but either way, they have nothing left for the next few years.

Frankly, MS shouldn't waste their time with disc-based Japanese-only games. The worldwide games (Capcom, Konami, Square) will get a 720 version anyway for the US/UK. The Japanese only games would be better suited converting to digital-only, XBLA/PSN sales - and its not like it will take much...

The 3DS will not sell as well as the DS or GBA did. No handheld ever will again; that marketshare is lost to phones. That said, there's nothing stopping the 3DS from being a profitable system with more than enough games to justify its existence. This fiscal year was just bad development...

Eh, I think the show needs to shake things up, with either new characters or people in new roles. Ron Cadillac was a start (although they seemed to abandon him after, what, the Anthony Bourdain episode), and I could see Lana as Mother not accepting Archer's shit anymore, but when the big...

You could (and probably should) jump straight to when Rob Lowe and Adam Scott joined the cast (Season 2, Episode 23 - "The Master Plan"). There are bits of gold in Season 2, but I wouldn't slog through all of it to find them without already being a fan. Season 3, in my opinion, is one of the...

I don't buy it either. He starts off by saying "A bunch of stuff I said before is wrong, but this stuff is real, honest!", the language sounds petulant and fanboyish, and his claims go against all anecdotes - it's not always online (whereas an employee was fired defending the concept)...

Of course he dies, they even give you the star blinking out at the end of the credits to hammer it home.

Metal trash cans unfortunately provide easy sources of effective shrapnel.

I'm enjoying this too (Bryan Fuller's name demands I at least give it a couple episodes), but all I can think of when I watch it is "Awake: Serial Killer Edition". It doesn't help that the same guy (David Slade) directed the pilots for both shows.

According to Sepinwall, that was the "last produced" (the singing and puppets took longer to produce, as you would expect) episode that Chevy skipped; apparently they made him come back for an hour and record his puppet lines before he was off the hook. So he did indeed "appear" in all the...

I would clarify that to exclusivity hasn't mattered for XBLArecently. I think/fear that if the 720 is still way behind the PS4 after Holiday 14, at E3 15 we will find out MS has broken out the checkbook and bought XBLA exclusivity for Shadow Complex 2, Trials+1, Spelunky 2, Dust 2, and as...

Is says that internet polls have such a level of self-selection bias that their results should be tossed out sight unseen, that the gamers voting for EA literally don't have a clue about reality at large, given the above that any group running (and promoting the results of) such a poll has...

Non-gamers don't need to spend $500 on a media device, especially when much cheaper devices (hell, if rumors are to be believed, including a $99 version of the 360) will do the same. MS intends on putting out a new machine and not eating a large percentage of the cost doing so. Both MS and...

I took my nieces to see this on Wednesday. Today, the only things I can literally remember about it are A) amusing meta-jokes about Nic Cage inventing wigs and overacting, and B) wondering why the intro is scored to college football fight songs. (I guess the egg is football shaped, or...

Adjusting for inflation: The "Good" 360 (with a hard drive) launched at ~$475. (Without any silly Kinect camera.) It should overtake the Wii for #1 this gen in the US. The PS2 launched at ~$400, and there was a lot less to a system back then (no hard drive to start). It was #1 last gen...

1) MS hired the guys they usually go through to produce an announcement event for them in April, later delayed to May. (That delay may not be due to any difficulties with the product, but venue availability in April, etc.) So they aren't planning on sitting until E3. 2) Those bad news details...

Yeah, that probably was the best Zombie Community they've put out yet. The laughs/minute ratio still isn't great.

What's especially odd is that one of Gamestop's biggest growth sectors is codes for DLC. Sure, there are some paranoids that won't use credit cards online, but I have to believe the overwhelming majority of those people just don't have credit cards. If they don't have credit cards, do they...

It didn't come out today. There's been rumors - and even patents! - about requiring always-on connections, not having used games, etc. for both consoles going back to last year. PS4 has now officially said they won't require a connection and will allow used games. MS may do the same, or they...

Or we're three weeks into Free Agency and no one's signed him, so why not get something while playing for a legitimate contender. There are a lot of veteran guys taking relatively small amounts this year. You can view it as them hoping to refresh their resumes... or the continued financial...

Yeah, they've already nixed the rest of the 3D rereleases and killed the Clone Wars cartoon. It wouldn't shock me if they stop putting out new toy lines too until the movie versions come out. Mobile games, on the other hand, I continue to expect a ton of. Disney killing Lucasarts was my...

Good Lord in Heaven, I'm siding with Araysar. I think the evidence suggests that all option quarterbacks will eventually get knocked out for significant time, and that you are wagering whether their running performance will outweigh the time they're out of the lineup. It's one thing to be...

I've only been catching up on this half season when reviews say to, but what in the world was that? It was like everyone involved said "Man, the prison arc is the best stuff from the comic, we can't be done with it already" and then decided to take the most inelegant path possible to "Still...

1) AFAIK, the "due date" for spending that money isn't until the end of the league year. Teams way under can give new contracts with massive payouts for the 2013 season in March 2014 if they had to. (E.g. In March 2014 the Bengals could give Andy Dalton an extension with small per-year numbers...
