Mr. X

Hey, it's almost time for the Pepsi half time show. Wait...

That Super Bowl babies ad was kind of cute. No ads have really stood out though.

I don't think anyone is going to beat that Michelob Light ad. That was great.

Panthers D giving up a lot early. 

Well, that is one reason I've never paid outright for a UFC PPV. Too much uncertainty and some of the fights can be boring as all hell.

NFL.com four-round mock draft.

I'd be happy to get Myles Jack, but I really don't care to spend a 2nd on Corey Coleman. If anything, I'd take Le'Raven Clark as we could use a LT moving forward and that guy could be a really good one. 

I admit to not watching a whole lot of MMA. But when Barberena got Northcutt to the ground you could see where Northcutt was seemingly lost and that lead to the submission. Northcutt probably should have kept the fight standing, but experience wasn't in his corner yet.

Bryan Barberena makes Sage Northcutt tap.

So I'm playing Uncharted 3 and this happens:

I was going to create a similar thread a couple of days ago but got sidetracked when I decided I'd play the collection. So far I've beaten 1 and 2 on Normal. Going to try to platinum all three before #4 comes out. I love these games though. Yeah it has wonky supernatural stuff but it is done well and has some really incredible design details.

Maybe I'm just ignorant, but what the fuck is the point in that 15 yard penalty because a guy doesn't get back in bounds fast enough? Out of all the shit guys do that is worth 15 yards? 

I did play those games so I'm not talking out my arse. It has been a while so I'm a little fuzzy on the details. The first is easily one of the games I feel was really underrated and consider one of my favorite RPGs. I don't remember if I ever beat the 2nd come to think of it.

I think it was more of a spiritual successor to Dark Cloud rather than being a direct sequel. I think anyone would be fine playing the Dark Cloud 2 without playing Dark Cloud.

How about the Chicago Fire? I admit to not watching them for a couple of years, but know they have been pretty bad for a while now. What is the deal with trading away the #1 pick? Seems kind of odd unless there just wasn't a true standout in this draft.

I am a bad fan. I know more about what my Madden team needs in the next draft than I know about the Bears

Don't go to NFL.com because apparently we need a QB, which having a project QB would be nice but not something we need to spend an early round pick on.

I mentioned DE and LB because those two easily stood out, but getting depth along the OL and in the secondary would be beneficial. Barring some WR falling hard, I don't think you get a WR until either very late or as a UFA. Same generally applies to a RB, though seeing what happens with Forte could change how we go about that position in the draft.

I hate the Bears taking a CB in the first. I think we probably go LB or DE unless one of the OTs drop to 11.

Fitzgerald now throws a Burfict-like shot. Maybe the NFL really ought to spend this offseason finally making a ban on shots above the shoulders or this crap could lead to something really bad.

If Patrick Kane can have 1 point per game for the remaining games of this season, he will have 100+ points. And the Blackhawks are on a nice win streak, so my hockey world is pretty good compared to what the beginning of the season was looking like.

Anyone know of any deals on PS+? Apparently ours ran out and we didn't even notice

IGN had a link today about PS+ for 39.99 through EBay.

Bowl season was great!

 I like Illinois a lot  

Why in the hell would you like Illinois out of all the teams in the NCAA? I've lived my entire life in the city where the University of Illinois is, so I was kind of born into rooting for the home team. I'm really hoping that in the near future we get a decent AD who can build up at least a high-mid Big 10 team.

I'm a Big Ten/Illinois fan. So I'm just used to being slagged. 

Clemson has to go in next season as one of the favorites. Those guys played some great football. 

Thinking this means our offensive playbook isn't changed much and is a move to give consistency for a group that has had quite a bit of turnover in the last few years.
