Re: Madden 17

The kicking game really does need the overhaul they describe. I have blocked a punt once in 20 years of playing Madden, and haven't blocked a FG since the original Xbox days. If I recall, one of the early 2000 versions had a way to block FGs by rushing up the middle - it was completely overpowered b...

Re: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

The chase through King's Bay was one of the most entertaining sequences ever in this series. The only thing I would ding it on so far is the combat. It feels almost exactly the same as it has for the last couple of games, and there are times when I would rather keep exploring than take out yet anoth...

Re: The really great TV thread

Anybody watched Catastrophe on Amazon Prime? It stars Rob Delaney of Twitter fame, which is partly why I wrote it off. But hot damn, it is one of the funniest shows I have seen in a long time. The seasons are short (6 eps at 30 minutes) and I have only seen season 1. There have been 2-3 times each e...

Re: HBO : GAME OF THRONES - Spoiler Thread

I am very relieved at how the series has rebounded after a poor Season 5. The most boring storylines are moving forward with Daenerys finally getting her lovely ass back on the horse (literally) and the zealot storyline looking like it will finally be less penance and more pulverizing. There's a lot...

Re: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

I picked it up last week and have been loving it so far. Really like how the story is set up, and now that I'm 8 chapters in, the gameplay has picked up as well. The interplay between the characters is so good, and I love how they will elevate an otherwise dry section of walking from point A to poin...

Re: MLB Season 2016. Playball!

The bad blood between the Jays and Rangers started all the way back in October last year when Bautista dramatically hit a 3 run homer and coolly flipped his bat out. All the emotions were clearly displayed in the rubber match today as R. Odor got into a shoving/punch incident with Bautista in a gam...

Re: HBO : GAME OF THRONES - Spoiler Thread

A generally strong episode, but I was a little put off by the Iron Islands intrigue. The time left in the series is starting to get short and we are really going to play succession games in a place where we have almost no emotional involvement? I'm sure there will be an episode where a half-dozen m...

Re: The really great TV thread

I am completely sucked into The People vs. OJ. It hits that sweet spot of miniseries cheese and a compelling story (even if I know how it ends). I love the awfulness of Travolta's Robert Shapiro, and there's enough scenes like the ones from inside the Bronco during the chase that I find pretty rivet...

It's hard to see Durant leaving OKC while Westbrook and Ibaka are with the team. Where would he go to have a better shot at a title? He's already on a top 3 team, and he's not going to go to Golden State or San Antonio. Going to Lakers next year would make them the Knicks West, a team MacGyvered aro...

I finally picked it up and am as sucked in as I feared/hoped. The settlement building alone could have entertained me. This game also feels harder to me than Fallout 3 -- I resisted the urge to play on Hard and am glad I stuck to Normal. The only thing so far is that my Charisma character is not unl...

Re: NFL 2015-16 season

Boring game in terms of the flow, but at the same time interesting to see defenses dominate a Super Bowl like that. Denver's pass rush was incredible. Getting seven sacks on a guy like Cam who is so big, mobile, and good at maneuvering in the pocket is quite an achievement. I feel bad for the Panthe...

Re: NFL 2015-16 season

I think the big problem for Denver is their offensive line is so average. Even with Manning's passing issues, they have real weapons in the passing game. But they can't sustain a consistent running game or provide consistent pass protection. I see a lot of short drives by Denver that's going to allo...

I also have no issue with what Cam does during games. Love that he isn't afraid to have a personality and look like he's actually having fun.
