We haven't had an NFL thread for some time now, but seeing as this is shaping up to be the craziest offseason in the history of the game, I thought it was time. Topic 1: Is Chip Kelly insane?

I'm betting someone around here can answer this question. Then I can pass on the information to my friend who wants to play the original Zork trilogy on his iPhone. Thanks!

And for the time being it's on sale. I was happy to see this one, and bought it.

Welcome to the NFL thread, 2013 edition. This sport has the shortest playing season of any major sport, and yet it never goes away. In fact in some ways it's even more interesting in the off time, with trades and free agents flying around left and right. Welker to the Broncos...that's an...

I know there are some fans of these old Dark Engine games around here. I personally bought Thief 1, 2, and 3 not too long ago. Several days ago an unidentified person or persons released new patches for Thief 1 and 2, and System Shock 2. They're amazing. The engine is completely updated...

I knew this day was coming and I'm sad to see him go. http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-ray-bradbury-20120607,0,5622415.story

I know there are a few Paradox fans around here, so I thought I'd post a blurb since there's a demo of Crusader Kings 2 now. This is the first game in years I'm tempted to buy at release. Based on the demo it's the best Paradox game I've ever played. I can't say enough good things about it...

Anyone else watch the pilot of this show? I liked the premise, which seemed to derive its inspiration, at least partially, from the 1974 Doctor Who series Invasion of the Dinosaurs, but the first episode devolved into boring tropes pretty quickly. In the future the Earth is dying, so a group...

I'm slowly building an urge to buy some old games again. What I'm looking for are games that have stood the test of time -- games that have been around for years and still have an active cult of devotees. Examples of titles I already own: Fallout ( :roll: ), Torment, Arcanum, Bloodlines...

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=486903 If this game turns out anywhere near as good as Victoria 1, I'll be very happy. :D

Have at it: http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/04/video_games_can_never_be_art.html I think he's wrong but I think the pro-video-games-as-art people are in general too quick to dismiss his arguments.

I saw Alice in Wonderland (in 3D!) and I liked it. Not particularly deep, but very strange and entertaining. It actually made me wish Tim Burton was doing The Hobbit. He's one of the few directors who could actually do justice to that story.

I now have Torment sitting on my shelf. I don't have time to play it right now, but I'm sure I'll start some time in the next few weeks. I'm wondering if you veteran Torment players can recommend any unofficial patches or mods along the lines of the Restoration Projects for Fallout. I know...

Oh...my...god... This game has the worst combat of any game I've ever played, hands down. It's more unpleasant than watching Nicholas Cage stumble through two hours of bad italian accent in Captain Corelli's Mandolin, and I didn't think anything could be that unpleasant. And you start the...

I saw the movie 9 today. It's a strange mix of post-apocalyptic reto-futurism in roughly the same line as Fallout. The reto is hard to define, though. Some parts of it look Victorian, others look like either the first or second world wars. I didn't really care for the ending, which was oddly...

I bought the trilogy pack after I tried the Gothic 1 demo, but it's been sitting on my hard drive for several months awaiting my attention. A few days ago I finally fired it up. I think it's great. I'm about level 10 and having a blast. My favorite parts so far: [spoiler:8646d72045]In...

I've been enjoying reading this thread by a Hearts of Iron 3 beta-tester. He's playing as the Soviet Union in an Operation Barbarossa scenario. If you like grand strategy games you'll probably dig it. Hint: use the chapter index in the first post.

The Discovery Channel is going to be airing a program about a handful of survivors trying to rebuild society after almost all humans are destroyed by a plague. It's called The Colony.

I know it's been a few days since he died, but I thought he deserved a thread since Billy Mays has one. He was great in On The Waterfront. I also enjoyed him in the Paul Newman movie Harper. :clap:
