Re: MLB Season 2017. Playball!

Thrilling opener for the Cubs, would have liked a win but it was an exciting start. Jason Heyward looked like Willie Mays Hayes the way he beat out that dribbler for a hit before Contreras hit is tying HR.

Re: MLB The Show 17

This game is so amazing. I didn't get a lot of time to play 16 last year, so I wanted to get 17 so I could have a lot of time and see if I could get through a season. So far I have been playing Play Nows with the adaptive difficulty to see where I wind up, and also waiting for a roster update to sta...

Re: CRAFT BEER Thread.

Sweetwater IPA is terrific, one of the most drinkable beers I have ever had. I like to pick that up when we go to beach in the Carolinas.

Re: Kicking The Tires On A New TV...Advice Needed

How bad could the IR be? I have a 2009 Panny plasma for gaming and have never had any issues, just the usual temporary IR that would go away quickly (usually EA logos from sports games). I was reading about the OLED issues but would be surprised if they were more vulnerable than plasmas, which by th...

Re: CRAFT BEER Thread.

I am a beer nut and I especially love stouts and porters. A few faves: Bell's Black Note -- best beer I have ever had. Very hard to find, lucked into it being on tap once. Bell's almost never puts a foot wrong. One of the best breweries in the midwest. I quite unexpectedly discovered that there's a...

I am still on DTV, too, bundled with U-Verse for Internet. It is pricey but I have always been happy with the service. Picture is great and the sound is, too, especially if running through home theater. If Rockies are on Comcast Sports, I think you can add CSN regionals for a relatively low price if...

Do you guys know if older Maddens remain playable after the new ones come out? I am on what I think is my last year of my Connected Franchise before I move on to other games, but I'm kind of invested in the team I've built. Wondering if M17 would be playable this fall after 18 comes out, if I feel l...

Re: Mass Effect Andromeda

ME2 is one of the best games of the previous generation. An amazing blend of story, characters, exploration, and combat. The first game is good but it gets very repetitious. The second one was just about flawless. The only downside of these games is there is a fair amount of backtracking, but the wo...

Re: Madden 17

I'm still playing, I'm in year 4 of a Bears franchise, which is the first time in years I've made it past 2 seasons in franchise. The on-field gameplay to me made a big leap this year, it feels much less predictable to me than what we have seen in recent years. The drafting is actually pretty good, ...

Re: NFL 2016/2017

Great game, officiating was fine #34 for the Flacons could of been flagged for at least 3 more DH calls. Falcons defense was on the field like 85% of the game it seemed like. Can't expect to hold when you're out there that long. I agree on officiating. The calls mostly looked legit for me, no quest...

Re: NFL 2016/2017

You have to give the Pats props for their mental toughness. There are dozens of Super Bowls filled with very good teams that completely collapsed once they got behind. To do what they did last night was even more amazing than the Bills coming back against the Oilers in my opinion, because of the ext...

Re: NFL 2016/2017

These have been a snoozefest, but I think that's more of an outlier. Injuries seem to have really hit a lot of playoff teams at bad times -- Dolphins losing Tannehill, Derek Carr, Jordy Nelson being banged up, Le'Veon getting hurt yesterday. The Carr injury in particular sank a fun Raiders team and ...

I would like to see the Pats win just for the awkward Brady/Goodell moment. I also find this Steelers team entertaining, it's too bad Tannehill got hurt because I think that would have been an entertaining game.

Re: NFL 2016/2017

I wish John Fox had gotten fired from the Bears. He is not a bad coach, but he is obnoxious as hell and not worth putting up with if the team isn't winning. Given that the Bears starting QB next year will either be a rookie or someone off the free agent scrap heap, they won't be winning any time soon.

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion

Finally finished Uncharted 4. Excellent game and story. Maybe not as exhilarating as Uncharted 2, but fun nonetheless. The parts that are great are really great, some of the best gaming moments I have had. UC2 holds up better overall but UC4 was the first game in a while I couldn't put down until I...

Re: January - What are you playing?

I like this thread idea! Resident Evil 4 (XBO) I only played the game once when it was originally released, and it has been a lot of fun to revisit it. The controls are really terrible, but the game is so entertaining. I'm surprised at how tense and scary it can be even when I know what's coming. Ba...

Re: OT: Resident Evil 4 impressions

So in a blast from the past, I bought RE4 for the XBO because it was on sale for $10. My first impression was "How the f*%# did I ever shoot anything with these f*%#ing controls?" But once my slow-aim muscle memory came back, I got sucked into this game again more than 10 years after playing the ori...

I don't think anyone touches Cleveland, but it has been a brutal stretch going 20 years back to the Mark Hatley days. If you look in the last 10 years, there have been 4 really good picks: Kyle Long Matt Forte Greg Olsen Devin Hester There are some serviceable guys in that period, and some like Alsh...

Re: NFL 2016/2017

Please, Chicago, keep Cutler. It would be far too tempting for Buffalo to sign him as a "major free agent acquisition." And considering GM Doug Whaley signed former Bears superstar Kyle Orton in Buffalo to replace EJ Manuel and Orton was decent, I'm sure Whaley will think Cutler will do the same --...

Re: NFL 2016/2017

Difference is Jay would of packed it in if that happened and Barkley got us in position to win again. Bad news? Cutler's 12 4th quarter game-winning TD passes are the most in the NFL from 2009-2016. Good news? It's 2016 and facts don't mean anything anymore. Barkley also throwing some Jay-esque pic...
