Someone is gonna have to talk me out of starting to play Marvel Rivals

Here is the TV thread Or what probably should be called "the glorified movie' thread Stupid limited series

I was gifted the James Bond (not so complete) Blu-Ray set for Christmas so I guess I will be going through and watching the ones I've never seen because sure... why not

I was very happy I played it - 100% isn't an issue. I think there is one in game challenge that is a little tedious

How the fuck is it January? Of 2025 no less Fuck me

The Cowboys are releasing Ezekiel Elliott supposedly to allow him to "catch on with a contender" I don't see that happening but whatever

The Bills announced that Josh Allen will start to maintain his consecutive starts streak going but will then sit fairly soon into the game Meanwhile the Eagles are still trying to decide if they will try and get Saquon the rushing record

I realized today that I only need two achievements to 100% the game (and one of them is jumping off a really high thing) so I will probably do that this weekend since I really only have to find like 5 more collectables

Also the new word of the day is Tampering Jim Mora is yelling that all the schools are tampering with his players Meanwhile - Quinn Ewers reportedly was offered 6 million to return to college and enter the portal

Miami has fired DC Lance Guidry

Also since I am thinking about it Played in 2024 Destiny 2: The Final Shape (which kinda sorta is finishing Destiny 2 also) Dragon Age: The Veilguard Chants of Sennaar Little Kitty, Big City MLB The Show 2024 (There isn't really finishing a sports game but I finished multiple years of Road to the Show so that counts) No Man's Sky (again... there isn't really finishing this) Whatever version of Katamari is on Game Pass This doesn't count the mobile games that I waste my life on or Animal Crossing where I am still almost 5 years later checking on my stupid fucking island daily

This might have been the first Christmas I didn't get any new games (which is fine because I actually didn't ask for any) Really trying to focus on my backlog - especially on the Playstation side So since I finished Veilguard and am weening myself off of Destiny - I decided to go back to Miles Morales (so that I then can play Spiderman 2) I had hoped I had stopped playing while I was free roaming so I could fuck around relearning the controls. Nope - instantly reminded that I was at the start of a major cutscene into major fight. So that was... awkward.

@Dolfan in NYC and I (and any other admin feeling frisky) will be starting the yearly/monthly threads soon so please keep it in your pants and not start any of those type of threads for the next few days. If by the weekend - you see something we missed, feel free to shoot us a message

Actor Angus MacInnes passed away at the age of 77 He was best known for playing Jon “Dutch” Vander aka Gold Leader in Star Wars: A New Hope Was in a bunch of other things like Rollerball, Witness, Superman II, Judge Dredd

Lenny Randle passed away at the age of 75 Randle is pretty much known for one of two things Getting on his hands and knees and trying to blow a fair ball foul or Beating the shit of his manager (Frank Lucchesi) in Texas after losing his starting job (He got hit with battery charges that he plead no contest to and then was traded to the Mets)

Rex Ryan "expects" to interview for the Jets job Source - Rex Ryan

Boy if you thought the Jets drafting was bad already

Walker Buehler's deal with the Red Sox does contain a mutual option for next season ($25 million) One would assume Buehler is gonna rent in the Boston area

Yup - Rams are the 14th team to start 1-4 and make the playoffs They are also the first team in NFL history to enter their bye with a losing record and make the playoffs in consecutive seasons (bye was Week 6 this year, Week 10 last year)

I did find it funny that (now that I can actively search for info about the game) that the Devs are all "MAYBE WE WILL INCORPORATE OTHER CHOICES FROM THE EARLIER IN GAMES IN FUTURE GAMES!!!" and I was like "boy that is some pretty wishful thinking." Yeah - I saw someone describe it as "they went out of their way to avoid addressing anything the player might have done in previous games" and I realized that is why I felt so disconnected. I kept assuming things were being referenced was stuff I forgot or never played. It turned out they were just avoiding it all together. Which would also go back to my disappointment with lack of cameos It really comes across more as a game set in the Dragon Age universe - like this really feels like how Mass Effect Andromeda should have been (And I am someone who liked Andromeda - just not all the bullshit around it)

All three did indeed win so New England now has the #1 pick and will get it with a loss to the Bills next week Giants fall to #4 - will move to #3 if the Browns beat the Fins

Drew Lock is gonna be hated by Giants fans for a long time
