  1. So they are half-way done creating a GOOD Fantastic Four movie. The hard part is to finally nail Dr. Doom and yes, they do need to try again. Doom is the best Marvel villain and was basically the main character of the orginal Secret Wars. If they want to nail the casting, they need to make him an evil Tony Stark. Doom is brilliant, elegant, and POWERFUL. Not only did he have the suit but had become a powerful sorcerer as he had tried to free his mother from Mephisto's Hell.
  2. I am very aggravated right now. I decided to download some mods, specifically the increase party number one and now on new games there is no dice roll and it causes the game to get stuck. I deleted the mods but it is still doing it. I googled around to see possible fxes and one of them is to go to gameplay options and to make sure Enable Dice Roll is clicked. Problem I have is that isn't showing up. All there is enable karmic dice which does nothing. Anybody able to give advice on this? ETA: Ok, fixed it. There was a couple of mod files left and iwas able to remove them. Dice are back.
  3. So, that Belichick guy is available, right??? Hell, I'd take Pete Carroll right now. People have been saying that Dan Quinn was the heir apparent if McCarthy failed again in the playoffs but I have serious reservations after this game. He has been thouroughly outcoached. Same ol' Sorry Ass Dallas. Thankfully I never drank the koolaid this year.
  4. Staley AND GM Tom Telesco both get the boot
  5. Congrats to the Bears for breaking their streak!
  6. This is some Grade A loafing here. Dude needs to be at the least benched.
  7. If the Cowboys go anywhere this year, beyond early January, a big reason will be the ascension of DaRon Bland. A 5th round rookie corner from the 2022 draft, he had 5 picks his rookie season despite not playing until October. This year he has 4 picks and 3 have been pick 6's, one of those was today. He has greatly softened the loss of Trevon Diggs, but I'll forever wonder how good they might have been with Diggs, Bland, and Stephon Gilmore.
  8. S.O.S.A.D Same Ol' Sorry Ass Dallas Even though I should know better, they really had me fooled that this could finally be their year. I knew losing Trevon Diggs would hurt, but not this bad. And there was Bad Dak again, throwing a crushing INT. He's been mad that people keep asking him about last years' picks. Oh well, stop throwing them.
  9. Sigh, yep. It's Bland and Gilmore on the outside and Jourdan Lewis now mans the nickel. That also means that former Dolphin Noah Igbinoghene will have to play some significant time now. He was traded straight up for fellow bust Kelvin Joseph. At least Muuamu returned a blocked kick for a TD against the G-Men. I also wouldn't doubt that safety Israel Mukuamu slides over to corner like he did last year after they lost Anthony Brown and Lewis for the season. While I don't think the sky is completely falling now, it does mean that the pass rush is even more important now.
  10. Pollard is a lead back in TODAY'S NFL. The years of Emmitt Smith going for 100 yards and a TD are mostly over. Nowadays a RB will get like 60-70 yards rushing and 30-40 yards receiving. Other than Christian McCaffrey, that's exactly what the top backs in the league have done so far. The Giants game Pollard rushed 14 times for 70 yards and 2 TD's. That's a 5 yard average. Dowdle ran 6 for 24 yards and Vaughn 6 times for 8 yards. The Jets game was a different story as the Jets are supposed to be one of the best defenses in the league. Pollard: 25 attepts for 72 yards, 2.9 avg. Dowdle: 7 for 26 yds. Vaughn: 3 for 16 as he finally was able to not just run into the backs of the offensive linemen. One thing to point out: Tyler Smith has not played yet at LG and an undrafted rookie has replaced him journeyman Chuma Edoga has replaced him. As for Gilmore, according to PFF he's been average. I'd be worried if Trevon diggs wasn't ranked 6th and DaRon Bland 13th in the league.
  11. I think the Trey Lance trade has that distinction. SF traded three 1st rounders and got a 4th in return from Dallas. Speaking of Dallas: Cowboys: 70 City of New York: 10
  12. Nobody is saying that Lance is going to suddenly develop and take over next season. And nobody else is going to all of the sudden give him a 20-30 million dollar contract. The only way he plays this year is if BOTH Dak and Cooper Rush get hurt, or if Rush has to play and totally sucks. Every team in the league had a chance to trade for Lance. According to the 49ers, the other teams were offering a 5th or lower. Shannahan made a point to take a shot at the Cowboys by saying he didn't expect to get a 4th for Lance, as if that helps make up for the utter disaster that trade was for them. Remember if they had just kept those picks, they could have had Nick Bosa and Micah Parsons as the best pass rush duo since Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware. That team won a Super Bowl with a crippled Peyton Manning. Cooper Rush signed a 3 year, $1,670,000 this off-season. That's fairly low. You really think anyone would give Trey Lance a $10 million a year contract at this point? Dak is going to wanting at least a $40mil. a year extension. That's where I got my math and it's probably on the low side. Trey Lance is going to be competing against Cooper Rush this season and next for the #2 spot. Dallas can then see if the next two seasons if he develops. Reading around, lot of beat writers think there's a better chance that, if Lance can develop, Dallas would trade him for draft picks. Hopefully for more than the 4th they gave up. Like I said before, I expect Dallas to offer Lance a contract extension that stretches out his cap hit. He's only 23, he needs time to just LEARN and I hope he knows it's in his best interest to sit and watch for a couple of years instead of being pushed out to play too early like he did in SF.
  13. The moeny they would have to pay Lance compared to Dak is probably like a 30 million a year difference. That's assuming that Dallas doesn't try to get Lance to sign a contract extension that stretches out next years cap hit. Cooper Rush is a really good backup but he is who he is: a physically limited system qb. Trey Lance is super athlete who has played actually very little football. Is he a total bust? Maybe, we will find out. I don't mind the 4th round pick. Look at who the Cowboys have picked up in the last 6 months for a 4th, two 5's and a 6th: Trey Lance, Stephon Gilmore, Brandin Cooks.
  14. This is about Dak's upcoming contract extension. Years back, the Cowboys low-balled him so he bet on himself in the final year of his rookie contract. He went on to have probably his best season which forced Jerry to give him a huge contract that paid him like a top 5 QB. Obviously he hasn't played like that and he keeps getting injured. Dak also won the biggest sticking point of the contract fight: years. He wanted a shorter contract so he could get an even bigger bite at the apple and he got it. This year his cap hit is $27mil. 4th in the league. Next year, the final year, it balloons up to $56mil. 2nd in the league behind Deshawn Watson's ridiculous $$63mil. cap hit. So Dallas HAS to give him a new extension next year or be stuck with that huge number. Dak is again going to be want to be paid like a top qb even if he isn't playing like one. Meanwhile, Dallas will have to pay Cee Dee Lamb and Micah Parsons as well. As Mike Florio says here, Dak has Dallas over a barrel. This trade at least gives them a tiny bit of leverage. They had planned on keeping 3 qb's with Will Grier as the 3rd. Again at the very least, Trey Lance is an upgrade over Grier. One interesting tidbit, one of the three 1st round picks the 49ers gave up to draft Lance was used to draft...Micah Parson.
  15. For the record, the Early Access ended right as you were supposed to cross the lake. So that is officially 1/4 of the game. I'm right at that part and I'm close to 40 hours in!
  16. Yeah, or.. I started and re-started when I found out there was way more character options like getting to pick your type of genitals. That was DEFINITELY not in the early access, nor was the option to show nudity or not! Wert gave good advice above. One thing I would add is to constantly be pressing left alt which highlights objects you can pickup. There is a TON of stuff lying around; from treasure chests to alchemy ingredients. A lot of it is random, I just picked up a topaz on the mind flayer ship which I had never done before. ETA: Oh and one more thing, make sure you always have a shovel in your inventory. There are a bunch of hidden treasures under the ground that you can only dig up with a shovel if you or a party member can notice them.
  17. Yeah, I agree. I'm on my 3rd uninstall and reinstall for an extra file here or still clicked on patch 8 there. Hopefully 3rd times a charge cause I'm ready to start smiting stuff!
  18. Or at least the first level of Avernus. This is the opening scene of the game: After nearly 3 years of early access on pc, the game goes live tomorrow, August 3rd. I've played all the way through the early access, which is roughly one quarter of the game which capped at lvl 5. I played most of the classes and suprisingly, my usual favorite class seemed to be one of the strongest: paladin. In most games I've played, pallys were either weak tanks or low dps. In this game, they are amongst the strongest dps thanks to their powerful smite attacks. There also did not seem to be an issue so far with alignment problems with companions, a drawback with the previous BG games. Overall, the game is incredible. Graphics are phenomenal and the story is great. I really love the combat which is turn-based but very similar to the Tactics games. Terrain and distance really matter. The games that it reminds me of most are the Pathfinder games which I enjoyed. The game is going to be MASSIVE. Just playing a quarter of the game was roughly 30 hours, though I explored everywhere and completed nearly every quest. Oh and one little spoiler:
  19. I bought the game almost THREE YEARS ago and I love it. I always hated having to constantly pause during the BG, Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter games. I was able to play almost the first quarter of BG3 as a pally, rogue, and wizard and all 3 were a lot of fun. August 3rd cannot get here fast enough.
  20. I decided to buy the game for PS4 instead of pc for my back's sake! Baldur's Gate 3 is FINALLY coming out next month and I know I'm gonna play the Ninth Hell out of it. So I started with barbarian and it's okay. I usually play as a Paladin/Crusader but I guess I'm gonna have to wait for the DLC. Anyone playing as a rogue or sorcerer? I've been eyeing both to play next. Which one is better DPS?
  21. "BAH!" That was his favorite saying when he joined the board and it always cracked me up. He was a really good guy and is sorely missed.

    Diablo 4

    What platforms are you guys playing it on? I've played the first 3 games on PC but at this point I'd rather play it on PS4. Any differences in PC vs console?
  23. That was one of the best and shocking episodes of TV ever!
  24. There has been a lot of speculation that they may try and trade for a receiver like Mike Evans or Jerry Jeudy, or a tight end like Kyle Pitts. Tee Higgins and Stefon Diggs have also been mentioned but I find those two highly unlikely. They have to be careful because they have 3 star players who will be up for paydays in the next couple of years: Trevon Diggs, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons. Those guys are the young core of the team and they can ill afford to lose them because of the cap. Jerrah is a big mouth but he is right once in a while. He said that the Eagles built their team for a 1 year championship window and now most of their defense will be gone this offseason. He said he didn't want to do that, he wanted a long term window. I also really liked the Gilmore trade and the Wilson and Vander Esch re-signings. They are really close to having a championship level defense. If they could get a pass rushing defensive tackle in the draft, they would be set.
