Support NeoGAF

[squicken]

I know GAF was banning people for mentioning this in NPD threads, but pretty much everyone who owned a PSP just stole all their games, correct? I never owned one, so my conscious is clear. But it seemed to be a running joke about all the "free" games Sony kept giving away

Did Activision even bother shitting out CoD ports?

 

[Bowser]

We play the NFC south next year. Alex better leave his laptop at home

Alex is a fucking dweeb and will get his ass beat the season after next by Cam, book it.

In fact, I'm willing to put an avatar bet on it right now! That's right, 2 seasons into the future son. What say you?

I would love for an end zone of opposing fans to great him with laptop cutouts.

They'd be greeting him 4-5x and I'm sure after the 5th time most of them would be gone

 

[jakncoke]

Well one thing is for sure, if they continue to focus on Kinect, horribly. It completely bombed there. Requires too much room I guess.....

Yeah they'll def have to do what they did with 360 and get a bunch of RPG's on that bitch/jpn related games.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

I thought that the PSP had most of its lifetime sales after MH came out, maybe I am remembering wrong though.

It did, in Japan. MH pretty much did nothing for the PSP in all the other regions though. I really have no idea why that series has failed to succeed anywhere else....

Not ports, they treated the PSP like the Wii and gave it weird versions like CoD Road to Victory. I actually bought PSP games, I had a nice collection of UMD games which sucked when the Vita came out.

DVD killed the Dreamcast.

Oh and the hype was obscene. Personally, I had a Dreamcast and tried to get all of my friends to get one but they kept waiting for the PS2.

"It has a DVD player so I can watch The Matrix™ frame by frame! And the Bouncer! And didn't you hear about how that guy had to get escorted out of Walmart because he bought a PS2?!"

Just finding one in the wild was amazing back when.

Alex has won in the playoffs. What has scam done but cheat on tests, steal laptops, get paid to play in college, score a 3 on the wonderlic and be an icon?

I will accept your bet but "get his ass beat" is vague and could mean that scam physically assaults him and steals his laptop. If that is the bet then I won't take it since scam is a ringer when it comes to laptop theft!

Will Smith wrote the story for MB3? hahahaha

I can't believe I've become such a snob, but I have almost zero interest in seeing any movie that cost more than $100m to make. I guess I'll see Batman and Aliens 5 or whatever. But the two best movies I've seen in the past 5 years were Let the Right One In and 500 Days of Summer

I really liked the National Treasure movies, though. Why don't they make more of those? The second one had a cool hook for a sequel already set up.

Hipster.

It does bother me that Zoe Deschanel or whatever has become the dream girl for the skinny jeans crowd. And that "you like the Smiths" is now a punchline. Still, great movie.

I'm guessing Scam will be able to luck his way into 1 playoff win in 7 seasons. The real questions is whether or not fans will ever chant for David Carr during one of his starts.

That is a record I am sure the cuckold will hold forever!

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Alex Smith sniffs a tiny bit of success then proceeds to talk shit about others?

You sure you're not him FMT?

Considering how much Nic Cage likes/needs money I'm surprised as well.

"Get his ass beat" = Panthers beat (stomp on, actually) the 49ers in 2013

Also, reading this leaves me flabbergasted and I hope the Saints truly think like this idiot:

To me, Brees is a product of the Saints’ remarkable offensive system, one designed by Payton to utilize his quick-strike strengths, his ability to roll out and his mind to remember every detail of the offense. Yes, he shattered Dan Marino’s single-season passing record with 5,476 yards in 2011, but I can’t honestly say that Brees is a better quarterback than Marino, whose physical skills and quick release put him on a different level. Brees could beat Marino in a foot race, but that’s about it.

Brees is great for the Saints, and vice versa. But I’m not convinced he would be great in every NFL offense. And there’s the rub. Size and strength do matter in the NFL, and Brees is barely 6 feet tall. Manning is 6-5, Brady 6-4. Brees hates hearing that, but those are important measurements in every NFL personnel department. Brees might say he has outplayed his height, but it’s the sole reason he was a second-round pick.

...

The word is that Brees wants an average salary surpassing $20 million a season, a financial number to make up for the fact the Saints paid him only $10 million a season when no one else wanted him after a horrific throwing shoulder injury in San Diego in 2006. The Saints believe they are entitled to a slight discount because they took a chance on Brees.

Yes, Brees has proved his worth, but he’s not worth more than Manning and Brady, who each average about $18 million a season. Heck, Ben Roethlisberger, Rodgers and Eli Manning are better quarterbacks than Brees because they can play in any NFL system.

And don’t forget that during his involvement with the union’s negotiations with the owners last year at this time, Brees fought hard — to no avail — to rid the league of the franchise tag on unrestricted free agents. That in itself proves he has more loyalty to his personal bottom line than to the fine citizens of New Orleans.

lol. I hope Brees holds out and the Saints think they can replicate his success with their "system". I would gladly welcome the results.

 

[eznark]

I agree with Carnecki 100%, but I'd say that about just about all quarterbacks. Most of them are't "plug and play."

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Steelers age, what are your opinions of our draft picks?

DeCastro is touted as a near lock for stardom. Adams has the talent, but his work ethic is questionable, which makes his candidacy for first year starter at LT suspicious.

I'm in love with Sean Spence. He's small and underweight, but wow does this guy have a brain on him. If only Timmons had Spence's smarts.

Ta'amu i'm rather cold to now, because there's a rumor going around that he quit against DeCastro amd Stanford. We'll see.

Rainey is probably the biggest boom/bust guy we picked. He has clear talent, but he's also a fumbler and severely underweight. He'll never be an every down back and he can't handle blocking but he should be a dynamo in space.

Will wait until training camp to judge Clemons but it seems he has the skill.

I agree too. Brees is a self serving asshole.

 

[squicken]

After initial lines went up yesterday, the biggest movers were the Bucs and the Broncos getting pounded on the Under.

 

[Talon]

Well, Greg Knapp would make any QB worse.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Alex Smith lost to the 2-14 Panthers.

He lost in a quarterback duel to Matt Moore. Worst Matt.

On Ta'amu, give him a shot. Our D was as awful as I can remember watching, which is why the defensive staff is completely new this season. We were more talented than the numbers would indicate. I think the entire D quit on the coaches because they were not putting players in a position to succeed. They refused to abandon their scheme when it was clear it wasn't working.

Also, that false rape accusation thread in OT is entertaining in a meta way. I can imagine Devo sitting behind her monitor, frothing at the mouth wanting to accuse everyone expressing outrage in that thread of supporting rape. But she can't, because she's banned.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

If the 49ers had a real QB they would be great

I think the Saints should trade Brees to the Eagles for Vick.

Alex has only played in 4 seasons discounting injured seasons. And Alex is 13-3 with a playoff win in years that he has a real coaching staff.

But I remember a great man told me that coaching doesn't matter. That man was you!

Clearly I was right. Even the greatest coach in the history of football with the best defense in the league and a soft NFC playoff picture couldn't get Alex Smith into the Super Bowl.

I'm agreeing with you! You said we were a 6-10 team with no talent and no amount of coaching would change that. You also said Alex would never start a playoff game, let alone win 2 times in the last 3 minutes even with the other team trying to bounty him.

I see now that you were right :*(

Has anyone else heard this story about Chad Ochocinco getting robbed?

Apparently, while he was at IHOP last night, someone broke into his SUV and stole his wallet. They took all his credit cards, his iPod, and the wallet, but what's Ocho most upset about?

His Starbucks Gold Card.

:jnc and :larry

He would just drop the charges against the thief

I want to eat fired cheese curds. Right now. Preferably from The Old Fashioned.

I think he got everything else back, that's why he singled out the Starbucks gift card. He thinks people would have no use for credit cards that say "Ocho Cinco".

 

[bluemax]

It did, in Japan. MH pretty much did nothing for the PSP in all the other regions though. I really have no idea why that series has failed to succeed anywhere else....

Because its a crappy game series designed to appeal to people who spend a lot of time on the train every day.

Hakeem Nicks broke his foot. Dunno what the prognosis is yet

 

[RBH]

Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks fractured the fifth metatarsal of his right foot this morning during the team’s second OTA.

Hakeem Nicks will undergo surgery Friday to have a screw inserted into the broken bone.

Giants are estimating that Hakeem Nicks will miss 12 weeks.

Yeah MH is pretty shitty. I don't see the appeal

I see the appeal, it's just a shittily made game. The concept is cool though.

Damn that is a big injury. It will be interesting to see if he is 100% back by the time the season starts.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I love Monster Hunter, but it's not for everyone.

 

[Greg]

He would just drop the charges against the thief

:jnc

 

[Ninja Scooter]

if the Niners had Rex Grossman instead of Alex Smith, they'd have made it to the Super Bowl last season.

 

[Futurevoid]

Bah, sucks to hear the news on Hakeem. At least it happened early in camp so he should hopefully be ready to go in the early part of the season. Though I doubt he'll have all of his mobility.

Same injury Amukamara suffered last season by the way. He didn't practice fully for 15 weeks. Hope Rueben Randle is ready to contribute. Same for Jernigan and especially Barden who needs to do something to make him worth that third round pick.

It's Nicks' contract year, too. If you're a Giant and in a contract year - good luck. You're getting injured.

And if the redskins had the 49ers front office and coaching staff they wouldn't be the laughing stock of the league

 

[cdyhybrid]

Matt Flynn, Zach Miller, and Kellan "The Soldier" Winslow Jr. will be the new and improved Brady/Gronkowski/Hernandez. Prepare yourselves (and your Pro Bowl ballots) accordingly.
