    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Davante Adams walking off the field, was rolled up on, thinking ankle sprain.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Packers run defense wasn't great to start with, and without Kenny Clark this is laughable. NFC North will be a grind until the very end, and the Lions might actually be the favorite (was rooting for the Bears to win last week, still feel dirty). That said, is any NFC team jumping out at anyone...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    I'd be pretty surprised if they give the job to Tom Hardy, he'd be ~46 by the time the first movie of his comes out, which would make him the oldest bond at his start, especially when one of the stated reasons they didn't go with Idris Elba when Craig retired the last time was that Elba was...

    The Boys

    Also, I couldn't tell if the AOC rant about Homelander's war crimes was them mocking the left or being so stupid they repeated the same mistakes - the Geneva conventions (that would decide what a war crime is) only apply to uniformed members of national armies, questionable Bush 2 detention...

    The Boys

    This season is weaker than last, but part of that is the weekly delivery combined with the 'break everyone up into their own storylines' approach. It is possible eveything will tie up nicely, but at this point it's like complaining two thirds into Infinty War about 'This Thor weapon plotline is...

    This NO/TB game has been over for a while, so I'm flipping through the dial... is this Chargers / Bengals game deciding the #1 pick?

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    The stadiums with no fans and no noise make these games seem like the Z-Tier college playoff games ESPN created just to sell ad spots.

    The Boys

    More accurately, Stormfront _acted_ like she was afraid of Homelander once she found out what his fly-into-a-rage limit was. Unfortunately, the "laser my tits" scene we saw in the ads but not yet in the show make it clear the mollification was just evaluation, and not actually fear.

    That was a weirdly premise changing episode for episode four into a season. Frankly, Homelander not browsing through Pepe memes is subtlety for current Hollywood, though the complete lack of consensus on riots vs protests shows both sides had their Meme Hall Putschs long ago. ... though ATrain...

    The Venture Bros.

    I would assume they were so far behind schedule that the new CN execs could use an escape clause in the contract. I think we'll get talk about a wrap up DVD movie, but nothing will ultimately ever be made.

    The Venture Bros.

    On one hand, it's had such huge breaks that I stopped missing it long ago, but at the same time, this is one of my probably three favorite shows of all time. Hell, I think I am down to just streaming shows I watch at this point.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Next year's cap will go down, just from loss of stadium ticket sales, but the NFL / NFLPA negotiated that the cap reduction would be spread out over the next ten (iirc) seasons, so it will be completely hidden by the next TV restructure, whenever that is. (Assuming there is still a...

    Yeah, you have to assume Justice (from whatever era she's from) and Stormfront are the same, so 'yellow' could legitimately be the slur from the time. The bigger question is who and why is anti-Vought - Shining Path kidnapped the twins years ago, and for all we know Lamplighter is the one that...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Does everyone forget that in Marvel canon, BP was dead for five years? He wouldn't have been king regardless anymore, and if the BP program was reestablished, there would have been another BP already. It's clear additional suits can be made at will, and Boseman was already BPing with his father...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Nearly all of what I do is unfun chores for a single digit percent chance something interesting (though not necessarily useful) randomly appears. Then again, that may be why I spend maybe 30 mins a day 'playing', mostly on a second screen.

    You guys aren't being nearly cynical / 21st century enough. Give her a youth factor, and she can still essentially be the comic version, the base version of Homelander's DNA (though likely not his literal mother), except now his superior because vagina. Then make her a Nazi and have Butcher...

    People keep forgetting hard drives are expensive, with no way to reduce their cost beyond a fixed minimum. Your $/GB has gone down, but not the bare minimum $/drive. Much like MS killed the OB Xbox instantly, other than having one entry level console for last gen games for the budget market(and...

    I pre-ordered SWTOR, hit 50 before my month (and change from preordering) was up, but cancelled before ever actually subscribing. I briefly came back in the free-to-play era to finish off Corelia and did the Black Hole dailies a couple times, along with auction buying all the Free to Play...

    People do know this has been done before, right? The Lost Planet E3 demo was 2006, for pete's sake. And the answer is, probably not. Getting a demo polished to the point where it won't crash despite everything people at home can do to it (vs. a press guy getting one run through on a fresh...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Mob health doubles when you hit the Beornings (level 120 zone), and that was where I really hit my issues. Admittedly, Minstrel is not a high DPS class. That said, if you are going to grind out the anfalas scrolls of empowerment (or whatever), you should be doing it on a First Age, and it's a...

    DQ XI Definitive Edition is coming to the west on December 4th - it'll even be on Xbox Gamepass - but it's an upport of the Switch version. 1) There will be some slight graphical downgrades. 2) It will only be available as a separate title (apparently $40), not as DLC for base DQ XI. 3) Also...

    Not too shocking, the easiest way to bump up your 'console exclusive' count is to buy some exclusivity periods for some indies. PS was behind last gen, and spent the cash on them, and MS is behind this gen and doing the same. Though the video above has way less impact than Sony dragging all...

    Someone should just take the current film, adjust the contrast and the overall brightness down, run it at 66% speed, and call it the Snyder Cut.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I will say that LOTRO is the counter argument to people complaining about WOW adding mechanics every expansion. Dozens and dozens of levels in a row in the same volcano / forest / grassland settings with largely the same mob types, gameplay, etc. gets very repetitive after a while. Even when...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    As they mentioned, if you have any interest in this, you'll want to get all the quest packs before 8/31. Still futzing with it, and fair warning, if you aren't grinding out some of the imbued legendary scrolls daily as you get past 100, your DPS will become painfully bad. Minas Tirith dailies...

    Black Widow - I am cautiously optimistic, though don't see any way the Chunky Widow takeover works. Doctor Strange 2 - Currently rewatching the MCU movies in order on D+, and Doctor Strange is fine. Besides, the Raimi hire is interesting - can he create anything current and interesting, or is it...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    All time loop movies where they remember what previously happened are bullshit. Why would an individual(s) brain be the only thing that changes from run to run? And yes, the third act has always been preposterous, but its supposed to show just what elite killing machines the two of them are...

    I realize this is the 21st century and facts don't matter anymore, but someone had given Pugh the Knocked Up 'Tighten it up' speech. Yeah, even with her exaggerated pose, she still has minimal tits and is still much heavier in the abdomen than her contemporaries, but who wouldn't have been an...

    $60 in 2005 would be $78 in 2020, adjusted for inflation. And art budgets haven't decreased in that time frame.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah, next year is going to be real interesting, as I don't think anyone has any idea what the minimum salary cap would end up as. Worst case scenario, the NFL still has their existing TV deals, and I think teams will seat fans at whatever the maximum that state allows (25%? 40%?), but I don't...

    Wait, is anyone surprised the Patriots ended up with him? I've assumed it was just a matter of passing the physical from the start. That said, it wouldn't shock me if Stidham is listed as the number one in training camp, possibly even the first few games.

    Playstation 5

    As average game development times grow, the crappier launch titles will be. If a game takes three years to make, you have to start working on it halfway through the last console lifespan - good luck having anything like finalized hardware stats at that point. That said, at least PS4 had...
