Oh, the relentless march of time....

I wonder if Superior Man is still leading the Falcons to the Super Bowl in GameDay.

Re: NFL 2016/2017

I feel like I'm taking a serious trip into the NFL time tunnel after six weeks: The NFC East might be the best, deepest division in football. The AFC West provides the only legitimate counter argument. I am really surprised. Preseason it seemed like 9-7 would win that division. I think Washington w...

Re: MLB Season 2016. Playball!

The one thing that's been clear this playoffs is this is not your father's Cubs team. Two games in a row where it looked like they let the win slip away, and yet they kept it together and pulled out wins. Maddon has done a great job keeping the team both confident and relaxed. However, they're going...

Re: X-COM: Enemy Unknown

I really love it. I'm playing Commander level Ironman, and it's really challenging now that the enemies are so much smarter about flanking and positioning. The time-based bomb-disposal missions were my least favorite in Enemy Unknown, but the use of time-based missions here is great and makes a lot ...

Re: X-COM: Enemy Unknown

My XCOM crack addiction has returned. Like Dan said last year about the PC version, this game is SOOOO good. The AI is much sharper and more tactical, and the game feels hard usually because the enemy is making sound choices instead of just being buffed on harder levels. If you liked the first one a...

Re: NFL 2016/2017

Cutler apologists out in full force this morning. He isn't the only problem on the Bears but he is a common denominator. I said it in June, 4 win team at best. Fox is an overrated coach, Pace has made questionable moves. WTF thought Langford could fill Forte's shoes? Hello Howard looks better than ...

Re: Madden 17

Started my Bears franchise over to have the real rosters, and in the 4th quarter of my game, I got disconnected from the EA servers. I played through, not realizing that my franchise wasn't going to save. Sure enough, after the game I got booted back to the main menu, and when I hit continue franchi...

Re: Madden 17

The presentation has helped a lot. It's still not at the level NBA 2k is, but it's pretty good and adds to the entertainment value instead of being a distraction. The physics have had such a cool impact on the game, too, much more than I expected they would. The way passes get broken up looks so muc...

Re: Madden 17

Game is easily the best in more than a decade. I agree. I have enjoyed the game off and on over the years, but this is the first iteration I have been really excited about since the Xbox days. Offense in particular is a blast, and the special teams changes have completely reinvigorated that aspect ...

Re: Madden 17

Picked up M17 and can see why it's getting love. The offensive side of the game for the human player is really great now. The running game feels both challenging to me but also rewarding when you make the right choice. I had one play that went to the strong side, but the defense overpursued a little...

Re: HBO : GAME OF THRONES - Spoiler Thread

I think this was the best season finale for GoT so far. Usually the pattern has been for the ninth episode to be big and the tenth to be more subdued. This managed to do both, with two surprising deaths (to me anyway) in Margaery and Tommen. I was disappointed in Margaery's death -- I liked her char...

Love's not a good defensive player and neither is Kyrie, but the Cavs were a strong defensive team all year -- top 5 in PPGA. It's a testament to LeBron and the other players. But they have looked completely helpless these first two games. The Warriors are such good shots they can give anyone fits, ...

And the return of Bronn for the first time this season! If Brienne draws steel against either Bronn or Jamie, I'm going to have the sads. Even with Jamie back in full sister-lover mode, it's hard not to think the best of him when you see Brienne. I'm afraid the irony of the Kingslayer being slain w...

Re: X-COM: Enemy Unknown

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is now backward-compatible and free in the second half of June. Amazing testament to this game that I probably dumped 60-70 hours into it and am very excited to get it back.

Re: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Finished Uncharted 4 over the weekend. It was a great ending for one of my favorite franchises. In terms of gameplay, I still think Uncharted 2 is the best of the series, but this had my favorite story and avoided the changes in tone that always threw a bit of a curveball with the previous games. I ...

I am not surprised the Cavs are down 2-0, but to get pantsed like that after dominating the Eastern playoffs is surprising. All their cohesion has been stripped away in two games.
