Huge Xbox news. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 21, 06:08 23
- Announcing simultaneously that Starfield was coming out November 11th would have killed. -- nm - Qale Sep 21, 07:10
- This doesn't even begin to move my needle. I don't think Im really care for anything Bethesda, not to mention how much - Marlowe Sep 21, 07:02 15
  - I like Dishonored and loved Fallout until this recent one. Otherwise their games don't interest me. -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 07:38
  - Same for me. I've mentioned it here before that Bethesda isn't in my wheelhouse, but it's still a huge deal in the gaming world. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 07:11 5
    - It is. My gaming twitter is on fire. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 21, 07:18 4
      - Yup. Big time. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 07:22 3
        
        I would be way more excited if this was PDX announcing a new DLC for EU4 or CK3. Or if Sucker Punch announced a DLC for GoT. - Marlowe Sep 21, 07:26 2
        
        GoT Legends is still 'Fall 2020'. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 07:37 1
        
        I meant something new, SP< which I frankly don't know what it could be. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 21, 07:52
  - The hatred towards Fallout 76 is a clear-cut case of YouTuber and GaMeR JoRnALiSm driven by clicks/views than anything else. The MMO may not be... - Qale Sep 21, 07:07 7
    - Not entirely. The game sucked. It's much better now, but it launched in a nearly unplayable state for many. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 21, 07:22 4
      - I don’t think it took the entire 2 years to get there. More like maybe 4 months. -- nm - Qale Sep 21, 07:42
      - It was No Man's Sky v2. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 07:22 2
        
        No way. No Man’s Sky was not the game they sold to folks. 76 was exactly as they said it would be. Some just didn’t like the storyline. -- nm - Qale Sep 21, 07:43 1
        
        What I really meant was 'launched in a poor state, and with continuous updates, is a totally different and better game.' -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 07:57
    - Maybe. Still, it's something very prevalent. - Marlowe Sep 21, 07:17 1
      - TESO’s combat is... I don’t even know. It’s just awful? It’s also an extremely dense game with far more attempts to pull real money out of you. - Qale Sep 21, 07:45
- I’d rather have a small Xbox, thanks. -- nm - mafic Sep 21, 06:29 1
  - Good news! Xbox Series S is the smallest Xbox ever! -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 06:31
- Microsoft acquires Bethesda, $7.5B interesting -- nm* - budice Sep 21, 06:13 3
  - Bethesda has 2 timed exclusives for the PS5 in the works - I wonder what this will do to that deal -- nm - decline Sep 21, 06:37 1
    - I imagine those are still fine. The biggest take I'm seeing is that Bethesda games will now be Game Pass games day 1. - Shaun Sep 21, 06:39
  - oh. no. no no.. -- nm - colin Sep 21, 06:35
For Krusty and Sceire -- (link) - Shaun Sep 21, 06:05 2
- Gase managed to lose huge to a team missing arguably half a dozen of their ten best players. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 06:57
- It was an ugly game for both sides yesterday. -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 06:09
I don't think this was posted. Ramy Youssef showed us what it was like to lose the Emmy in 2020. -- (link) - loosilu Sep 21, 06:00
wap? The Good Place congratulates.... -- (link) - prayformojo Sep 21, 06:00 1
- awesome -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 06:03
The Good Place got robbed last night. I know people here and now in Hollywood love Schitt's Creek but a sweep of the Emmy's as a make up for - Krusty Sep 21, 04:53 22
- Pretty sure all of them and all of you are misspelling Mrs. Maisel. -- nm - Hero Murphy Sep 21, 07:04 1
  - Mrs Maisel has won a whole bunch of Emmys, they're good for a year. -- nm - Andie Sep 21, 07:51
- I think Season 4 should have been classified as a drama. There wasn't much comedy there. It was still good. Just not very funny. -- nm - Inigo Sep 21, 05:44
- Rhea Seehorn not even getting nominated for Better Call Saul is by far the worst snub. -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 05:27 2
  - Better Call Saul is now 1 for 40 Emmy noms. -- nm - mafic Sep 21, 05:35 1
    - It is such a crazy good show that will never get the recognition it deserves because it's not Breaking Bad. -- nm - Sam SeaBaron Sep 21, 06:27
- How good could it be? It was on *network tv* ugh -- nm - Emmy voters Sep 21, 05:22 1
  - I’ll grant you it’s no public broadcaster. -- nm - mafic Sep 21, 05:31
- I think Carden winning would also be a make-up given how criminally ignored she was for the episode she played everyone. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 05:11 3
  - She wasn't eligible because she's not a girl. She told so many times on the show. -- nm - Sam SeaBaron Sep 21, 06:45
  - The fact that the writers got nominated for that episode and she didn’t has to be one of the all time snubs. - spamlet Sep 21, 05:26
  - I'd be fine with that as it seems that was their intention this year. - Krusty Sep 21, 05:13
- This is where I learned Schitt's Creek swept it. YES!!! Sorry Good Place, never watched. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 05:05 7
  - unrelated: do we have a drop date for the last season of schitt's creek on NF? -- nm - amanda Sep 21, 05:56 2
    - According to this article it's October 8th. -- (link) - Inigo Sep 21, 06:10
    - No clue. I watched it on DVR already. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 06:00
  - You should watch. It’s an incredibly smart and funny show. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 05:11 3
    - What network/service? -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 06:38 2
      - It had been on Netflix. It’s 13 episodes a season so 50 half-hours. You could be done in two weeks of a normal person or based on Spawn’s - Will Hunting Sep 21, 06:43 1
        
        OK, I'll check into it. I do need new shows. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 07:24
- Yes, it was robbed, but if it'd been the other way 'round I'd be thinking the same thing. Except for Darcy Carden, she really should have won. -- nm* - . Sep 21, 04:57 1
  - The sweep looks like a make up for not recognizing them for the last few years and in turn hurt other shows and actors. It was the last season for - Krusty Sep 21, 05:08
TV PSA: NFL, NHL, Raw, American Ninja Warrior, Below Deck Med, Filthy Rich, Love Island, Love It or List It, Third Day, we Are Who We Are, other stuff -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 04:51
Happy birthday, Spawn! Woo hoo!!! - Krusty Sep 21, 04:30 6
- cheers !! -- nm - mud Sep 21, 07:31

Detroit are the first team in NFL history to have a double-digit lead in four straight games and lose them all -- (link) - Beaker Sep 21, 04:10
Money line NFL favorites were 13-1 -- nm - Flavorize—Mr Unliiiiiiiiimited Sep 21, 02:45
In case you missed it—here’s that Cowboys onside kick - Flavorize—Mr Unliiiiiiiiimited Sep 21, 02:43 2
- as I read about it, I kinda see why the falcons didn't all rush it at first. It has to go 10 yards and they all assumed it wouldn't make it - Beaker Sep 21, 04:57 1
  - Just fall on it. Two fall, the third guy snap blocks the Cowgirl standing there waiting. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 04:58
Hot (electric) Tuna -- (link) - zeitgeist Sep 21, 02:08 [youtube]
random thing I miss from going to the movies: there used to be a pre-show reel for St. Jude's Children's Hospital with a different celeb each year. -- nm - Max Sep 21, 00:05
While not surprising, I think I’m more excited about every new episode of the podcast than I expect listeners are. Man, the stuff we cut out... - Mopsy Sep 20, 23:37
looking at those old threads, Remlik's only contribution was swearing at me....par for the course -- nm - crash davis Sep 20, 22:43 2
- Did he try to tell you that Green Lantern and Man of Steel don't suck, too? -- nm - New, Better David Sep 20, 22:56 1
  - hey when I'm right,I'm right. -- nm - Remlik Sep 21, 05:12
Forget about our lovers and our friends. We were fated to pretend... -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 20, 22:41
