Cryo tech is another lore aspect the show completely botches - Fallout 4 suggests the whole point of that Vault is to test the technology, yet Vault 31 has already deployed it in bulk (and presumably that's what Moldaver used), and if the ending credits are canonical, the Ultra-Luxe in Vegas has...

Obviously Cooper gets found out and Blacklisted / canceled & divorced between the finale and the opening scene (I'll leave whether that's the show saying 'Blacklisting is un-American' or 'Blacklisting Communists specifically is bad' as an exercise for the reader), but it is another case where...

I should probably rewatch the final episode, but...

The chalkboard has Shady Sands 'falling' in 2277 (presumably when it loses political power, with the NCR Capital moving elsewhere), with the arrow indicating the nuke is chronologically after that date. But if there's a functioning Shady Sands in 2281 (and nothing in New Vegas suggests it is not...

7.5 / 10 Its one thing to adapt a fixed narrative game like The Last of Us, where you can essentially cut out the gameplay bits and film the cutscenes with people on sets, but adapting an open world game like Fallout, where the only thing all runs will have in common is visiting a handful of...

I was super disappointed by Predator 2 when it came out - too much of a rehash, and no Arnold. Compared to the likes of Aliens vs Predator, though (or a ton of other action movies made in the CGI era), in reality its not bad at all. Hell, even Predators looks better and better as time goes on...

The elder refers to Maximus' friend/rival as 'their', so its probably just nonbinary, which is far more plausible to happen in that setting than surgery and a drug regimen.

Only had time to watch the first episode, the Vault part of the setup seems super clunky at this point - there are Vaults connected to each other (which ruins the hermetically sealed experiments), and raiders have obviously entered Vault 32 from the outside and blew up the door separating it...

It's been stated that the show is 'canonical', taking place after the existing games: Fallout 3 - 2277 New Vegas - 2281 Fallout 4 - 2287 TV Show - 2296 We'll see if that's still the case whenever Fallout 5 is released, but there were a lot of side mentions about ecological collapse headed to...

That Season 1 finale set a high bar, and the show may have already been renewed prior to them finishing the season two finale, but that didn't wrap up much, and even brought up old material (e.g. the pharaoh) for no payoff.

No, some combination of Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon gave us Cabin in the Woods. Now, I have a soft spot for Bad Time at the El Royale, Goddard's only other film directing credit (entirely Whedon-free), but your likely lack of memory of that movie suggests a lot of Cabin was Whedon, not...

It actually had a graphics rerelease back in 2019, and IMO is probably the best Ghostbusters related thing since the original movie:

Except for large chunks of the first two seasons of The Mandalorian and Andor, you mean. (Jedi isn't that great either, to be honest.)

As someone that has never Battle Royaled, this is hot aids. It would be one thing if it was a permanent side mode (that you could engage every once in a while, like BGs nowadays), but with it only running 6 weeks, you need to commit to getting a level in this basically every single day its...

With descriptions like that, sometimes I doubt your commitment to sparkle motion.

Fields is also due a new contract after this season, which is not necessarily the case for everyone else being traded. Between the Bears starting from scratch, the Vikings fielding the all cast-off team, and the Packers newish and relying on Josh Jacobs to stay healthy, the Lions must be pretty...

If the Vikings didn't think Kirk was worth $100 million in cash guaranteed, them not resigning* him isn't shocking. Unless the Vikings have a trade lined up for a spot that will get them a QB, however, them spending money like they aren't the third best team in the division doesn't make much...

Quickhacking got the biggest nerf in 2.0 - whether you have the dlc or not, everyone is playing by the 2.0 rules. But in 1.0, you could drop a contagion or two through a camera and completely clear out a building without seeing (even on camera) 80% of the enemies. In 2.0, Quickhacking is still...

Good on the Broncos for at least getting some picks for parts everyone knows they can't afford anymore. I'm not quite sure I understand the Browns' push, however.

Keep in mind, were these salaries or 'salaries' that were almost never going to happen in reality and would have seen a restructure if the players were good enough to stay with the team, probably driven by backloading contracts during the covid-driven salary cap shrinkages?

Yeah, there's a god damned Shady Sands sign at 0:37, NCR having zero presence is extremely odd. Even if you head-canon a truce between the BoS and NCR ala New Vegas, they wouldn't allow whatever militia is led by ethnic girl power at 2:23. Edit: Missed that the militia(?) is waving an NCR flag...

Keep in mind, teams could easily get a league minimum Wilson at less than half a percent of their 2024 salary cap to start AND draft a QB to start later this year / next year. That said, given how little Wilson will be costing his suitors this year though, I see no reason why he would throw...

Russell likely has offset language in his Broncos contract, meaning if Team X now offers him $Y Million for this season, the Broncos would not have to pay him the equivalent amount, though that has no impact on the Broncos' cap numbers. The assumption is he'll therefore play for the veteran...

IIRC, the Broncos are already $27 Mil over the cap before another $50 Mil would accelerate onto it (as Russell has an existing $35 Mil cap hit for 2024), so they'll likely have to get rid of pieces they would like to keep now on top of the trades they gave up for him.

Salary caps are based on last year's revenue, so any additional ticket revenue or updated TV contracts with an 18th game wouldn't affect the cap until after those games start being played / contracts are redone. And real talk, shouldn't signings for next year be in a 2024 (at least pre-season)...

Since I'm re-reading it at the moment, the statistical impossibility of Anathem is intentional - the Incanters / Rhetors are working overtime to drag everyone into a timeline / narrative where things work out for Arbre, and the one they end up with isn't even consistent, hence the confusion with...

Get rid of another pre-season game, add another bye week, with Thursday games only played after the bye. That would be a net positive for fans (they don't get charged full price tickets for the preseason game), players (no short weeks), and the broadcasters (a 19th week of full advertising rate...

2077 not having a pleasant way to redo stats was honestly one of my biggest gripes. I sorta understood in 1.X, when stats determined max skills which determined perks, but in 2.X, when everyone can max out every skill regardless of stat build, it's super inconvenient, especially to returning...

QB salaries do tend to settle in 20 - 25% of salary cap, but for Dak? Jerrah, keep Jerrah-ing.

Keep in mind, Mike released this under the Mr Plinkett branding, so not every video 'of his' relates to major IPs or the genre as a whole.

As someone who was rooting for the meteor, the Chiefs' defense keeping the game in winnable territory even despite the interception, lost ball, etc. was the bigger factor than Mahomes' supposed destiny to win. The most depressing thing about this game is the Chiefs should be better on offense...

Honestly, I would summarize it as a reverse Archer: "What if we randomly made the next season of Atlanta about a married spy couple?" Your general attitude towards late-season Atlanta will likely mirror your opinion of M&MS.

On one hand, we do get the rematch from last year we missed out on due to SF QB injuries. On the other hand, what a monumental collapse by the Lions.

Oof, that honestly hurt more than if the 49rers had completely blown us out. If the Packers had gone with the FG instead of going for it on fourth, held on to the interception, made the FG, OR didn't make a desperation throw when they still had time on the clock, at worst we would be looking at...

Dominating the clock for this large a percent of the time isn't going to matter if the Packers only get FGs (or nothing) out of it.

Home teams. Unfortunately, a lot of Cinderella stories (Stroud, Love, Baker) are about to come to an end.

I've legitimately dozed off twice during this game. How the hell were the Eagles 10-1? Did everyone just figure out the new coordinators' tendencies and they couldn't adjust?

I don't care if they are a divisional rival, that sort of playoff drought isn't good for anyone, Go Lions! (for next week and next week only)

Oof, can the Packers score enough to keep the lead without anyone to keep CD. in check? We shall see.
