Another nice win, Charisma! But if you wouldn't mind losing next week, I'm trying to gain back that extra W in the rankings! I forgot all about the game last night until it was already over at about 11:30. Can't believe the Jets pulled it out!

I certainly won't go down without a fight! Best of luck though (to everyone) :D

 

I kept debating between Randle or Floyd for that spot, SO glad I made the right choice. Came down to luck in the end though honestly.

Anyone want to join a fantasy hockey league with me? I can't find anyone willing to play fantasy hockey, everyone says it's too much work so I'm joining a public league. I joined "Ice Cream Saturday" on Yahoo, drafting tonight at 8pm EST if anyone else wanted to join.

I love Vernon Davis so much.

 

That is all.

 

(Different league, but he made the difference for me this week.)

 

Tough luck AJ. James Jones should have had a fantastic game, of course. I hope he gets well soon :(

Since we didn't get it posted last week, I'll put up the week 6 recap, although we are on week 7 now and that should get posted tomorrow night :)

Can you believe the Giants played so well last night? I know the Vikes really only have AP to speak of, and I thought NYG might win, but I didn't expect a blowout like that. Good on them.

Thanks Charisma. I've been slammed at work recently and haven't had my forum browsing free time!

 

And damn, I hadn't seen that I got stat-corrected out of that win Week 6! No wonder things looked wrong when I was looking at the records Monday night.

Whoa. WHOA NOW :rofl: Did you see how many 3-and-outs the Giants had? They didn't play well, they just lucked into playing the Vikings at the best possible time heh. I stayed up to watch that game then wondered why I'd made the effort ^_^

Hahahaha, yeah, the Giants were absolutely awful. The Vikings were just that much worse. I'll give it to the Giants D, they didn't look too terribly bad, but they didn't have much to do. The star of the game was really Peyton Hillis who doesn't even play or work out anymore, haha.

In other news, reports are that J. Finley has a bruised spinal cord, but he's up and walking.  That was a super nasty hit he took, and we were a bit worried that it might be a career-ender.

I was so worried for him. He needs to get lots of rest, but I'm so glad there isn't any massive permanent damage. Get well soon, Finley <3

OK, you're right. I likened it to watching two minivans race. The competition is there, I suppose, but it's boring and rife with problems and not really something many people want to watch for three hours. It's a testament to how badly the Vikings played that they looked "good".

Haha, yup pretty much.  It helped that Freeman basically set a record for the worst QB performance in NFL history.

Insane points for Megatron last week.  Much needed boost in points.

 

Alright Charisma, ready to chalk up a loss!  :D

BOOOOOO CALVIN JOHNSON, BOOOOO!!!!!

 

I was killed by byes in both leagues last week, but might as well get it over with. Still won my other league, obviously not here. :laugh:

Sorry for slacking on posting up everything, thanks Charisma for helping out too.

I found out last week that it's really hard to maintain an active interest in fantasy once the byes hit in earnest when more than half the teams in the league haven't changed since week 1. I'd like to join next year's Neowin league right now xD

Man, you need to get in a league with people who actually play then. The Neowin league is semi active, most of us keep up with it fairly well, a few of us stay on top of it. My other money league you don't get a second to sleep on it or else you'll miss every opportunity that arises. Bye weeks are what make it interesting when there aren't many players available as free agents.

I have the worst luck with my team this year.  Every single player on my team has missed time due to injuries.  This week it's Aaron Rodgers, next week it's probably going to be my punter.  

Man, nice game Astra. Andre Johnson blew up!

 

I was actually at Green Bay Monday night for that game. It was such an awesome experience! But then I watched Aaron get hit >.< I was so disappointed we lost, but more concerned about him and the viability of the team going forward. :S

Oh wow, I bet your heart sunk.  I know mine did.  With A-Rodg out, we might have to worry about even making the playoffs.  :cry:

I think they activated the ex-Badger Tolzien, so it would be neat to see him step in and do well.

ALRIGHT CHARISMA, IT'S TIME TO LOSE!

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
