I'm up to chapter 9 in Bayonetta. I got to fight a gargantuan boss well over 100 times my size, race a motorcycle, and do battle on on a highway while dodging speeding traffic. This game and its sequel is going to be the death of my thumbs, but it's worth it. Good times.

The good news is that your team is in a division where 7-9 might be good enough for 1st place, so it's not like they need to be great to make the playoffs, they just need to be competent.

For me the biggest thing I needed to get used to was pressing "U' to toggle between controlling the whole party at once and controlling each Ranger individually. Once I got used to that I had no issues controlling the game at all. It's a turn-based game, so it's not like you need to frantically click or hit hotkeys in real-time during combat.

That's my plan too.

Misogy-tastic! Before: After: Mmm, serpent lunch! D'aww, so adorable!

So, The Ben had a pretty good night, eh?

Ivory towers, a staple of the fantasy genre... I'm not doing this right, am I?

Cool beans. I hope that winds up being the case. Have fun beating up angels.

Not to sour you on the game, because it's fantastic, but the PS3 version is a notoriously poor port. It may or may not have been patched into competence since it was released years back (I have no idea), but back in the day there were reports everywhere of serious framerate issues.

Carolina just ran one of the most pathetic 2 minute drills I've ever seen. 2 sacks and 2 incompletions, including an incompletion on a screen pass on 4th and 25. A screen pass on 4th and 25! What the **** kind of play calling is that? If the catch is made, what are the chances you pick up 25 yards on that play? 3%? 5%?

I'm up to chapter 6 in Bayonetta. Chapter 5 was brutal, I think I used 7 or 8 continues. There was one particular pair of enemies that took me 4 continues to figure outtheir attack patterns and get the timing down on dodging and when I could chain long combos and when to go in for a couple quick strikes. I had to fight those same 2 later in the chapter, but I got past that second battle in one try since I had them figured out by then. Then I got to battle a giganting flying serpent thingy. Good times.

Holy smokes, that Falcons collapse. They were up 21-0 at the half against a Detroit team so depleted that I was joking they'd be suiting up equipment guys soon. Then the second half happened, including a Matty Ice interception so shockingly awful (seriously, there wasn't a Falcons player within 15 yards of where he threw the ball) even Bad Romo got a chuckle out of it.

YOU POOR THING, YOU'VE BEEN RUN FROM YOUR HOME BY AN ANGRY MOB OF THREE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ACTIVELY ATTEMPTING TO BREACH YOUR HOME! Surely you must be in need of donations to help you get through these troublesome times. I'd set up a patreon account but I'm not a minority so there'd be no takers. Just get some doctor to declare you as suffering from some bogus syndrome or another, you visit enough of them and one will diagnose you with something. Maybe something like, Acute Defenestration Phobia (are you afraid of being thrown out of a window?). Once you've been diagnosed with something the victim flag practically applies itself. At that point, all you have to do is start planning how you'll spend all that sweet sweet victim money.

Bayonetta. It's awesome. It's really hard to top the satisfaction of pulling off a perfectly timed last second dodge, going into witch time, and absolutely thrashing a massive angel 20 times your size. The game has so many insanely over the top moments that induce a full on **** eatin' grin, like getting hold of a freakin' building and swinging it around like an Olympian doing the hammer throw, then launching it into an enemy. Good times. I'm only up to chapter 3 because I've replayed some chapters to get more halos coins, and also because I limit myself to how long I play at a time to keep from completely wearing my thumbs out (it's a game where you work the controller pretty hard).

Well, I watched the premiere last night, which, I guess, was the pilot. There's no denying it was a disappointing start. Still, I'm going to keep an open mind and give it at least a few more episodes to get better.

A sequel to Outlast is being made.

Oh man, how had I not heard of this before? https://soundcloud.com/hennessyyoungman/cvsbangers CVS Bangers, where have you been all my life?

Yep. The game would have never happened had Nintendo not stepped in and funded it. Obviously, the chances of a Nintendo funded and published game appearing on any non-Nintendo system is pretty much zero. Yes. The goal of the game is to make sure every American owns a gun, abortion gets abolished, and Obama is exposed for the muslim he is.

I believe it's tentatively scheduled for Q4 2015. As with any crowdfunded game, I fully expect that date to slip.

I'll always like Nash for the reason that he was an integral part of one of the most entertaining teams I've ever seen, the 7 Seconds Or Less Suns. They may not have won any titles, but they sure were tons of fun to watch.

So, is Steve Nash's career over? For those that don't know, he's done for the season with back problems. I mean, why come back if you're him? What's the point? He's already a multi-time league MVP. He's not winning a championship in LA. Why go through all the trouble to come back? For what?

In fairness, with Friedman gone, why in the world would Maddon want to continue working for one of the cheapest teams in the league?

Pretty cool that the first nurse in Dallas is fully healthy and Ebole-free. Also cool that the Seahawks owner donated $100 million to Ebola research.

I think it's just best to just let her comment stand on its own and speak for itself. I can't imagine anyone with a clear, level-headed mind reading that comment, in light of current events, having any reaction other than being disgusted and appalled. I mean, to use a tragedy like this to throw a low blow is horrible. That's Fox News level shameful.
