  1. I swear there was a throwaway line from Darcy where she said she tried calling SHIELD and they hung up on her or never called her back or something to that effect.
  2. Thanks. That's reassuring. That's another little thing that peeves me about an otherwise good game. In AC, the predator rooms respawned enemies after the story concluded, so you could go back and do some of the predator physical challenges.
  3. That kinda annoyed me, too. The worst is that the last challenge in the Gotham Protector track (stop a crime in progress in every district) is impossible because there are no random cip's on the bridge. God bless the Internet for showing me how to game the system on that one.
  4. Does your progress on the Dark Knight challenges carry over into New Game+? I finished two of them, and I'm down to the last challenge on the combat track, but I've got over half of the predator challenges to go.
  5. Finished the game over the weekend. I really liked the story, but did it seem really short to anyone else? A lot shorter than AC, anyway. The final encounter with Bane drove me nuts. The first time he reached into a grate and pulled me out scared the shit out of me. I've spent the last few days going back and collecting the data packs, which has been frustrating. None of them are as challenging as some of the Riddler trophy stuff from the last game, but FUCK the layout of some of the buildings - they make going back and collectible hunting a major pain in the ass. I made myself nauseous navigating the GCPD building the second time around.

    I don't think anyone ever really thought that, so much as feared it tremendously. F. Murray Abraham also said "butt monkey" this episode.
  7. SHIELD finally dipped below 7 million viewers, all the way to 6.6 million. Time to blow up the jet and bring in the Level 10 team to clean up.
  8. Well, nevermind. Looks like they've brought back Melissa Rosenberg to head up the version of Jessica Jones she was developing for ABC a little while back. Her oeuvre is somewhat less auspicious, including several of the TWILIGHT films, though she did work on a few of the less-shitty seasons of DEXTER.

    So we've all just given up now, huh? Saul locking Senator Lockhart in the conference room made me laugh.
  10. I kinda hate what his brother and sister-in-law are doing to SHIELD, but I would be perfectly alright if all the Marvel TV shows just get farmed out to various Joss lieutenants. I'm going to go ahead and call Marti Noxon or Jane Espenson for the Jessica Jones show.
  11. Have you checked inside all the buildings? There are like 11 inside the steel mill.
  12. Not a great pocket passer, sure, but until Johnny usurped him, the undisputed king of just running around, throwing the ball up, and something good happening.
  13. Continuing on the Marvel TV end of things... If they're going for lesser known actors for these Netflix shows, I humbly submit Teddy Sears for Daredevil. I don't think anybody else here watches it, but he is excellent as Dr. Langham on MASTERS OF SEX. Big, athletic guy with a strong jaw. Looks like a superhero. And a quick review of his IMDB shows that he's played a lawyer on several shows, so he fits that type, I guess.
  14. The commercials for the next episode crack me up. "This is a Level 8 secret!" It is my sincerest hope this is the start of a Dragonball Z-like escalation of secrecy levels. By season 3, it'll be like, "OH MY GOD, THIS SECRET IS LEVEL 23."
  15. Oh yeah, the Dark Elves' assault on Asgard was eerily STAR WARS-esque. And between that and the scene with Thor and Jane talking romantically by the waterfront evoking the similar scene with Anakin and Padme in ATTACK OF THE CLONES (except, you know, with actual heat between the actors and better dialogue), the middle part of THOR 2 felt like Marvel's answer to Star Wars.
  16. You keep repeating that, and it's just not true. Saban has won against far more dual-threat QBs than he has lost against. Really, the only true dual-threat QBs that he's lost to since he got the train rolling in 08 were Tebow, Cammy Cam, and Johnny Football. AKA: Heisman winners. So, I think what you're really saying is "have the best player in the country on your team, and you have a chance." Which is true. And Winston may have the hardware to fit the criteria come January. But just having a guy who can "freelance" isn't enough. Saban has chewed up and spit out his fair share of guys who fit that descripion. ('Sup, Denard.) Just this season alone, he fucking destroyed Logan Thomas and Bo Wallace like they were D2 quarterbacks. (He will also be discarding Nick Marshall in a similar fashion after Thanksgiving, so watch for that.)
  17. Everybody would love to see that game. Unfortunately, the Ducks play in the same division as Bama Lite, and apparently the Lite version is good enough to get the job done. So, alas, we probably never will.
  18. Can we just skip to Bama and FSU playing for the title? Because those are clearly the best two teams.
  19. Reposting for emphasis.LSU was about 2 feet from making it 7-0. How different of a game might it have been if not for "Who's" Tana Patrick punching the ball out of JC Copeland's enormous hands?It's easy to forget that for every stud recruit that Saban signs who goes on to be a star player, there are 2 or 3 other stud recruits who turn out to be just some other dudes on the roster. Patrick was one such dude, until tonight. Amazing story of perseverance.
  20. On that last LSU series, Bama blitzed a safety and a corner off the edge on, like, 3rd and 18, up 21, with 2 minutes to play. YOU CRAZY FOR THAT ONE, NICK.
  21. Okay, so I may have overreacted earlier. What a statement this 2nd half has been.
