RIPPA

Virtual lock that there will be a sun delay and the Winter Classic won't start until somewhere around 2 or 3.

Oh PWI...

New Year New Month Same Stupid Arguments

Almost walked into that first dragon - luckily I stopped moving so she started flying around but we were able to retreat back into the tunnel we came out of. You would have been nice though if a fucking guard would warn me. I also enjoy the folks at Redcliffe Farms being totally non-pulsed about there being a rift 5 feet from their door.

Cant explain it but Vision of Cornflakes is making me laugh more than it has any right too

There was a story (I think at PFT) that Marrone and the GM didn't get along and that could be the reason leading to Marrone deciding to bail.

Hit the Hinterlands proper today. Have only died once and that is because my squad over-presuded a Ram right into an enemy camp. Bioware in general really struggles with getting the proper size of the subtitles. Heck - all the text in this game is far too tiny.

The man actually said "The Redskins are winning off the field" You can't make this stuff up

I blame my fingers and autofill and the fact that I really don't care

I can't even begin to explain how bad the Bruce Allen press conference was. I am giddy

Funny - I was just coming to post about Video Games:The Movie. Boy did I not like it. It was like that they knew only gamers would watch but then made a documentary for everyone who doesn't play video games. My wife - who knows nothing about video games except Mass Effect and maybe the titles of the games I am playing - goes "Wait - I feel like they just skipped over a whole generation of consoles"

A 2nd trailer for Focus. This one has a much different slant than the first one. (This one is much more about Will Smith and Margo Robbie wanting to get it on)

Same thing as the movie thread. Let's see if this works. And much like the movie thread - I spent Christmas watching Kids stuff I would normally avoid. My son found that Netflix only King Julien show (another Madagascar spinoff show). There are 5 episodes (I think the actual name is All Hail King Julien). It is far better than Penguins of Madagascar - heck it's much better than either Madagascar sequel. India de Beaufort is the voice of Clover. She, too, is a gorgeous human being.

Christmas meant sitting through Kids movies I wouldn't normally sit through. The Annie remake was no where near as horrible as I thought it was going to be. Part of this was for some reason I thought Willow Smith was cast as Annie - so seeing Quvenzhané Wallis immediately gave it a pass. And Rose Byrne is a gorgeous human being. I think I ended up watching Mr. Peabody & Sherman 4 times since that was my son's go to. Thankfully it's barely 90 minutes long.

I am gonna try something different and break these into months. The board should like 20 page threads better than one giant 200 page thread. As per usual - general discussion about movies - mostly what you have watched goes here. Obviously some things (especially the Marvel movies) have their own thread/folders. Oh and upcoming stuff still goes in the upcoming thread

Oh and Rex is going to interview with the Falcons and Niners

The Raiders are also going to interview Pep Hamilton So there might be some light at the end of the tunnel

Somehow my character ended up looking WAY too much like James Franco I am going to have to wear a helmet a lot

Well for Origins - I remember what my choices were For DA2 - I kinda knew but since I was in such a blind rage over that game anyway - I am just looking on the Dragon Age 2 wiki to re-read and then decide what I want to do.

I am finishing up my game world in the Keep so I can start playing DA:I Today. I really dislike that all the default choices are that either someone died or you fought with someone. Partly because that is the complete opposite of my play style but more importantly - it means it takes far longer to set up the world

I am going to be getting a head start on transitioning the board to the new year over the next couple of days. The majority of things will be closing old threads and starting new ones. There will be some other changes so don't freak out if you suddenly don't see something - it most likely was just renamed or move to a different location.

God - you weren't kidding about Mangini. The Raiders are actually interviewing him. Other coaching interviews (which may or may not have been discussed here) Jets Seattle DC Dan Quinn (interview is Friday. Yes they are doing it without hiring their GM first but they need to do the interview now or wait till the playoffs are over) Niners Have requested permission to interview Quinn and Cards DC Todd Bowles. (Bowles can't interview until the Cards are eliminated) They have also asked for permission to interview Broncos OC Adam Gase (I know we already discussed Josh McDaniels) Falcons They too want to interview McDaniels and Bowles and Gase They have also asked to interview Lions Teryl Austin (similar to Bowles has to wait till playoffs are done)

I can't remember where I heard it but supposedly there are members of the Niners front office who felt that the last three years - San Fran had the best team in the NFL and the fact that they didn't win a Super Bowl was totally Harbaugh's fault. Thus they wanted him gone
