The legend of Handsome Jimmy grows. That Niners/Saints game was thoroughly entertaining.

They were terrible in those games too. Listen, I like stealth games. The problem is that stealth mechanics in games not specifically designed around stealth are, almost without exception, UNBELIEVABLY HORRIBLE. In the case of this game there is one spot you can stand in and if you are 1/100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th of an inch in any direction off that exact spot, the dog will see you, through buildings, mind you. Then you have to run with razor thin timing to another spot using point n click mechanics that work 50% of the time and pathing that makes Infinity Engine games laugh.

"Do you know what this point n click adventure game needs? A stealth section with insta-death!" - Not a single gamer ever Granted, it's a very short stealth section and reloading a save takes all of 2 seconds, but what the $&!# is this doing in Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring?

I'd argue that muh Boys are still very much deserving of the "America's Team" moniker. No other NFL team has as much ridiculous reality TV-esque drama surrounding it. What could possibly be more American than ridiculous reality TV-esque drama?

7-9 NFC Least champ looking more and more likely.

Getting arrested is a long running Cowboys tradition.

Yeah, I don't know if it's me getting older, but 100+ hours is just way too long for a game, even a really good one, like TW3. Microtransactions aside, that's what's scaring me about Cyberpunk 2077. From everything I've read, heard, and seen, CDPR are scaling UP in scope. It's like, Jesus H Christ guys, I don't have an unlimited amount of time.

I need a pick me up today. Time to go with a tried and tested jam that never fails to put a smile on my face: Bonus points to Dschinghis Khan for doing a proto-Stanky Leg decades early.

I like Tennessee, I ain't gonna throw no shade at my neighbor to the west.

This is a real play that really happened in a NFL game: 1) What possesses somebody to call a direct snap to a punter who then, with no blockers, fakes like he's going to run it in but instead shovel passes to the placekicker? 2) How in the world did this actually work?

Sherlock Holmes: The Secret of the Silver Earring. This point n click places fairly highly on the pixel hunt scale. There are tons of really small objects in the scenes to find. Admittedly, that is very much on brand, given that this is a Sherlock Holmes game and part of what made Holmes such a good detective was the ability to notice small details others would overlook. I have to say, I really enjoy the voice acting for Holmes and Watson. The other characters are hit & miss (more miss than hit), but the 2 main characters are well voiced.

You know, muh Boys may be awful this year, and they are, but at least we didn't lose to the FREAKIN' DOLPHINS. I have no hope left for anything good happening to my team this year, even if we make the playoffs we'll just lose in the wild card round. However, I can still indulge in the simple, yet thoroughly satisfying pleasure of Eagles schadenfreude.

^ "Devil's Lettuce"? Is that a thing people call(ed) marijuana? I smoked (more than) my share of weed back in the day and we used dozens of different names for it, but Devil's Lettuce was definitely not one of them.

It comes down to the week 16 matchup in Philly. Which crappy NFC East is slightly less crappy that day takes the division. We can beat the Skins, the game against the Bears is 50/50 depending on which Trubisky shows up, the terrible one or the one just good enough to fool you into thinking maybe he can be the guy (spoiler: it's a trap), and we will lose to the Rams. Ultimately it doesn't matter. The only positive that can come from this season is Princeton Red getting fired and us getting a real coach. That's all I want for Christmas. (spoiler: I'm getting a lump of coal, aka another year of Garrett, instead)

@Bartimaeus I haven't crunched the numbers on tiebreakers and I'm too lazy and dejected to research the scenario, so I'll trust you are correct. /curls up in fetal position *pitiful sobbing*

Believe me, I am KEENLY aware that we have not beaten a single decent team this year. Literally every single one of our 6 victories came against bad teams. Even more hilarious, or sad, depending on your point of view, is that we are likely going to end up 7-9 or 8-8 this season and there's a decent chance we will STILL make the playoffs, by virtue of the NFC East being a smoldering dumpster fire. Not that it matters. We either miss the playoffs or go out in the Wild Card Round, six or one half dozen the other.

Sherlock Holmes: The Secret of the Silver Earring. Bask in the 4:3 glory!

Dramatic reenactment of me watching the Boys/Bills game:

A dramatic reenactment of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2nd quarter:

With any luck, I can get to a truck stop and shut down for the night early enough to watch muh Boys get their asses handed to them by Buffalo.

I'm working, but Happy Thanksgiving to all the forumites. I'll get a turkey sandwich at whatever truck stop I wind up at tonight.

^ I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe those emails weren't 100% on the level.
