Is anyone else a fan of college football? What do you think about the conference changes of colorado and Nebraska? Will the Big12 colapse or will they go a little north and maybe grab a Boise or BYU to hold together? I like Nebraska in the Big10 but will they add 4 more and make it a super conference? If so who?

Hey sports fans, consider this the sign in thread, only it won't update, and you don't really have to do it. In an effort to cross polinate across our codes, though, post your interests, your teams, and a little bit about you. Myself? I am Berf, 26yo Australian Beer Drinker, and your local friendly referee. I am a huge fan of the world game, that is to say football. I am a huge fan of the Central Coast Mariners, my local team, who came second in the league last season and lost the grand final by letting Brisbane get two goals in the final 3 minutes of extra time, forcing a penalty shootout which we lost, the third GF we have failed to win. It can be hard…

I played a little bit of this before with some friends but they moved on to other things I didn't want to play by myself so I stopped too was wondering if anyone here would be willing to form a group and play together it's a free to play game though you can buy premium items and stuff it's cool though because you don't really need to as you play the game they give you currency for the premium store you wont be able to afford the really expensive stuff of course but if you save it up you could probably buy a premium item or two but yeah anyway I'm terrible at selling games/ideas would anyone like to play with me? I'm looking to make a group of 3-6 people (not sure…

I saw that there was a thread like this for the Wii and the 360 but not one for the Playstation 3. And Barm gave me the greatest idea! I couldn't have come up with it on my own because...I'm not that smart. O.e But here it is, the thread for Playstation 3 lovers! I'd like to start if off by saying Valkyria Chronicles which is exclusively for the PS3 is a wonderful game. That is all. ;D May the Seanchan take this thread and do with it what they will. In the name of Playstation!

so the new season has started and I for one am very happy. MORE DARREN CRISS!!! *squees excitedly*

has anyone played this yet? it just came out but i've read good things about it and was wanting some user feed back before considering to buy it. heared it's also a 2 player co-op as well, which is great.

So I'm getting extremely excited about Tarantino's new revenge-western coming out in December 2012. It's got an all-star cast, a renown director, and a badass plot (and Leo). A quick synopsis: The Cast Leonardo DiCaprio as the evil plantation owner Samuel L. Jackson Christoph Waltz as Django's mentor Kurt Russell (rumored) Jamie Foxx as Django Joseph Gordon-Levitt Gerald McRaney Now, anything by Tarantino will probably be excellent, but something about putting the two phrases, revenge-western and Tarantino, in the same sentence just feels f*cking awesome.

Wikipedia Article I AM SO EXCITED YOU GUYS

Tony Larussa announced his retirement from Major League Baseball yesterday, after 33 years as a manager of three teams (Chicago White Sox, Oakland A's, St. Louis Cardinals). During his 33 years Larussa has come to be called one of the greatest, and some argue the greatest, managers of all time. He Won 3 World Series titles. One with Oakland in 1989, and then his two most recent in 2006 and 2011 with the Cardinals. He amassed 2700+ wins and is 3rd all time in victories among managers. Whether or not Larussa will ever return to baseball as a manager is yet to be seen (though many feel likely). However, the game owes a debt of gratitude to Larussa for the greatness a…

One of two new fall sitcoms created by new NBC star Whitney Cummings, “2 Broke Girls” is not as funny as CBS’ Chuck Lorre sitcoms but funnier than CBS’ other laughtrack fare. It’s about a newly impoverished and surprisingly nice daughter of a Madoff-like Ponzi schemer who ends up waitressing in a Brooklyn diner after her father gets sent to prison. Kat Dennings, the Infinite Playlist girl who was Catherine Keener’s freaked-out daughter in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” is swell as the waitress who reluctantly befriends the fallen almost-heiress. But dang that laughtrack is distracting! The Los Angeles Times says: ... a solid, old-fashioned sitcom ... the heart …

So at the moment here is the picture: AL East - New York Yankees *gag* AL Central - Detroit Tigers AL West - Texas Rangers AL Wild Card - Boston Red Sox AL still in the race - Tampa Bay Rays, Anaheim Angels (on the very edge) NL East - Philadelphia Phillies NL Central - Milwaukee Brewers NL West - Arizona Diamondbacks NL Wild Card - Atlanta Braves NL still in the race - St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants (both unlikely) Break Down/Predictions AL Divisional Yankees vs. Tigers - Tigers win in 5 Red Sox vs. Rangers - Rangers win in 5 AL Championship Tigers vs. Rangers - Tigers in 6 New York Yankees I…

GRRM's Game of Thrones TV series has done so well, it seems to have given him a bit of Hollywood clout. Now his other series is being adapted. I've never read any of this series, but I've been thinking about it. From what I've heard about the books, I think it could adapt well. http://www.hollywood...ld-cards-254382

I think I've been turned into a Chuck convert. Just caught the premiere last night and enjoyed it. People on twitter talk about it all the time so I figured I'd check it out. Anyone else watch it/have strong opinions.

If you were one of the few to miss this show... watch it. AMC may be my favorite non premium channel atm.

Both Microsoft and Sony still believe that their respective consoles have plenty of life left in them, but that doesn't mean they aren't actively planning for the future. Develop has a report from a source that says that work on "several" PS4 projects has begun at unspecified Sony first-party studios. These aren't games yet, per se, because their concepts haven't been green-lit for full production. Particularly because the PS4's tech specs, etc. haven't been decided yet. Develop has also heard from various sources that Microsoft plans to bring out the Xbox 360's successor, the so-called Xbox Next, in late 2013. The system would be fully debuted at the E3 conventi…

We're about 1/10 done the season so based on what you've seen so far who are you liking for a chance at the cup?

Currently I am looking for some suggestions on PS3 Titles that are either released already or to be released within the next couple of months. RPGs are my main thing, I own a stack of em for PS3 and Im currently looking at getting: Ar Tonelico Qoga, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Tales of Xillia and White Knight Chronicles II (yeah its been around for a while but I didn't get it) FPS I have very few of and would love some suggestions since there are times when you just want to shoot people in the back of the head or mow down a room full of enemies. Action games I am a fan of the GoW series and Dynasty Warriors etc but currently do not have my eyes on any new titles,…

As the countdown toward November 8 continues, here are some sweet videos to sate your anticipatory, hearty appetites. Activision has released a video covering the changes to Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer mode. Kill streaks are now referred to as point streaks, and the video explains why. Players now receive streak credit for things beyond just kills, in an attempt to cater to different styles of players. The video also looks at the new types of Strike Packages. The Assault strike package seems to be the traditional Call of Duty package, heavily rewarding those who gain kills without dying. The Support strike package caters to those interested i…

Glad to hear Ubisoft is going to retain some creative control.

The rumors are true: NFL Blitz is back. Last year EA Sports hit gold when it re-created NBA Jam just like the fans remember it, and now it's turning its attention to Midway's other sports classic, NFL Blitz. The game is scheduled for a January release on PSN and XBLA, and will cost $14.99. With that comes more than just a re-make of the old Blitz. Although original designer Mark Turmell played a big part in the game's creation before he left developer EA Tiburon, and there are familiar elements of the original Blitz throughout this new creation (such as the original playbooks, announcer Tim Kitzrow, the top-down camera, augmented old animations, etc.), the team wants …

Good news for those of you with PS3's and more anguish for me (who doesn't own one).

Comes out Tuesday. Who is getting it? I should be pretty involved in this game for the next month or so.

Following the tradition of the past few years, another US adaptation of a UK show. I enjoyed the UK original, but mainly because of one actor, Robert Sheehan. He was brilliant. Very sad to see he won't be in the third season.

Which Game of Thrones scene from the first FOUR books are you most excited to see portrayed on TV? I know there's another GoT's thread, but this one is specific to scene creation. Also, which Game of Thrones scene from the first book was your favorite TV rendered scene? I would have to say all the scenes portraying The Wall itself. Was great to see it in color. And even though they changed how it actually happened, Id say the fight scene between Drogo and Mago was great.

Would've posted this in the Final Fantasy thread, but it's locked for some reason...

anyone have the dead space 2 armor link for the dragon age 2 armor that they dont want (haven't used :p)for x box 360?

I'm actually getting really stoked for this movie. Coming to theaters October 21.

Okay so now that there is pretty much guaranteed to be a NFL season, anyone interested in forming a Fantasy Football League?
