I'm reading through some of these THQ stories. I know a lot of you guys work or have worked with games writers. As I read them struggle to explain basic concepts like Chapter 11 I have one question; how many people in the games industry never finished high school?

I don't think that's unique to game industry people. Most people have no idea what ch 11 entails. Or that there are different types of bankruptcy.

In high school you don't learn everything, you learn how to find things out. When you are essentially blogging how hard is it to hop over to invetopedia or something?

Has anyone tried to Dota holiday stuff? Looks awful!

The winter map looks pretty nice, but the actually game mode is pretty terrible. Bastion announcer is my favorite addition of the patch.

GG Nightz. I had that screen sniffed out, yet still failed. smh I suck!


btw- worst thing about Y is that sometimes it doesn't let you catch the ball when you read something right because you didn't hold Y. Those with ball skills = punished.

GG dude. Shouldn't have tried to go to Gates at the end with him doubled. Thought I saw a window though. And yeah I was pretty sure that screen was going to be a short gain. My guys just kept blocking though. Also, please teach me how to return kicks and punts.

I would too if I had to deal with AJ Smith. He better be fired!

haha I'm glad I paid Ford. He was expensive for a return man, but damn he is good. And ever since I upgraded his RET, he doesn't fumble that much. It's just like running. Don't hit turbo the whole way like everyone seems to. You gotta pick and choose your spots.

It doesn't. He's my third WR. I upgraded his catching stats to be somewhat decent. He's a placeholder while Mumphrey's route running catches up. Vincent Jackson/Denarius Moore 2014!!!

Also, my top three corners are 87, 89, and 88 speed. Suck it!

I thought I said earlier I could only play early on in the day and afternoon. I'm finally on the fucking east coast and all of a sudden you can't play until later?! I'm being scammed!

Do you have more times available tomorrow I hope?

GG DM! You know HFA is in effect when my LG is forcing fumbles! Couldn't believe that 66 yard CJ catch on the wheel route, your FS must've just whiffed on the swat. Tennessee's playoff dreams live on for another week!

After looking at it again. I can't go to the playoffs. Smokey's divisional record is too good, wild card is basically winning the lottery in what i need to happen. Damn you and your one win, Rinse!

GG GCQ. It was a pretty ugly turnover fest. I just stopped throwing the ball so brees didn't have another 8 INT game. Just glad i was able to get the win.

I'm also starting to to think I have the worst run blocking oline in the game. My backs have to break a tackle at the LOS every time.

It's good for me that DM lost but here comes birdman rounding into shape. I believe I have a harder remaining schedule than he does, he'll likely bump me out of the playoffs. :(

Sort of early in the week to do one, but:

AFC
1. San Diego 11-2
2. Cincinnati/Buffalo 10-3
3. Buffalo/Cincinnati 10-3
4. Houston 9-4
5. Denver 10-2*
6. Pittsburgh 9-4
7. Indianapolis 8-4 1 GB*
8. Oakland 7-6 1.5 GB
9. Tennessee 6-7 2.5 GB

Only Buffalo has clinched, and no one else in the AFC can clinch this week.

If playoffs started today:

Denver @ Houston
Pittsburgh @ Buffalo/Cincinnati


NFC
1. San Francisco 11-1*
2. Philadelphia 10-3
3. Atlanta 9-3*
4. Detroit 6-6*
5. New York 8-5
6. St. Louis 8-5
7. Dallas 7-5 .5 GB
8. New Orleans 7-6 1 GB
9. Green Bay 6-6 1.5 GB*
10. Tampa Bay 6-7 2 GB
11. Chicago 6-7 2 GB

San Francisco can clinch the division with a win this week over Arizona. Green Bay is tied with Detroit for first but EA lists Detroit first so that's who I'm listing first for now. Atlanta can also clinch with a win and losses by New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

If playoffs started today:

St. Louis @ Atlanta
New York @ Detroit/Green Bay

I guess we need Mastershake in Wisconsin to teach people how to deal with this weather:

A major winter storm will move into the region tonight with blizzard conditions from central Iowa into southern Wisconsin. For those traveling, this could be a life-threatening storm. Snow will move in from the southwest and become heavy tonight. The heaviest snow will fall from central Iowa into southern Wisconsin with 10 to 18 inches expected. Lesser amounts will fall to the northwest, but impacts may be just as bad with whiteout conditions possible. Winds will increase Thursday morning, resulting in blizzard/near-blizzard conditions while also creating large snow drifts and blowing snow. Only emergency travel should be attempted on Thursday. Many roads will become impassable. Expect road closures. Stay in - stay safe.

You mean all you have to do to avoid this incredibly dangerous storm is to just stay inside? In a nice warm house? No school or work? No outside work to do or errands to run? You mean... like a vacation? Fucking brutal man!

Have fun playing in the snow the next day ;)

You know I'm mostly just fucking with you at this point, right? Hopefully yall dont lose power and the storm doesn't change from snow to ice. My parents are in Milwaukee so luckily it seems they'll avoid of the worst of it - stay safe brah!
