One of 2014’s best games is on sale through January 8. If you’ve got ten bucks to spare, pick up Shovel Knight on either Wii U or 3DS. And if, somehow, you haven’t read anything about this fantastic action game, here’s my review.
The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived.
Michigan already went through the boring part of announcing their new head coach -- holding a press conference on national television. Here's how you really know Jim Harbaugh is back at the college level: he has returned to Twitter!
Doors are open at Schembechler Hall. Look forward to getting knee-to-knee with the current team. Players, stop by and say hi!
After being diagnosed with a form of mental illness I have recently taken a look at how mental health is represented in the various forms of entertainment I choose to use. I am hoping to keep this all PC. I am hoping to find one which enables the player to define their issues and give them tips on the way, I am hoping for a fun education and less of your Sanity is based like hit points. I also would love if you could share positive or negative stories on how mental health of "characters" have affected your game.
Lolja reportedly attacked a female MTA worker around 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 23 who was on a platform of the East Tremont Avenue station announcing service changes. Apparently upset about the announcement, Lolja allegedly assaulted the woman, grabbing her from behind, throwing her to the floor, and choking her before fleeing. The woman was hospitalized for neck and back injuries. From the New York Daily News:
The officer said he fought with the conductor after she cursed at him for asking when the next train would arrive. When he demanded her ID and took out his phone to take a picture of her, she grabbed it, prompting a struggle, he alleged.
Police released security footage of Lolja supposedly fleeing the subway stop after the attack aired on local news; CBS New York reports Lolja turned himself in to the precinct where he's worked for seven years after seeing the clip on TV.
'we are coming to a point where if Wizards doesn’t release a license for 5th edition or we are going to have to make a decision. Either a) support it through existing OGL material or b) forget about the game entirely. I really hope I don’t have to make that decision, but I do not know I can wait much longer.'
Greetings,
I have done a few meta posts before, but I am going to try to make this a yearly thing. This is not only going to be my thought on how Jon Brazer Enterprises is doing but how I view the industry as a whole, from my chair in New Jersey, at least.
2014 was a real mixed bag in my opinion. In a number of ways, it was an awesome year. I had three Paizo writing credits this year, JBE had a pretty freaking awesome year in terms of sales, and oh yea, a game called Dungeons and Dragons came back and both the GF and I love it. In other ways, 2014 had its hard side as well. JBE pulled out of traditional distribution, 5E still does not have any kind of official license to go with it and then there are the personal hardships that I will not go into here. But as always, we pick ourselves up and we keep going. “You just have to say ‘no, I won’t’ one more time than they can say ‘yes, you will’.” -John Sheridan
As I write this, I just finished uploading our 3rd Deadly Delve adventure. Until recently, I have really resisted adventures because I started roleplaying in systems that did not have much adventures. I mean, sure, I created the Temple of Orcus adventure for Shadowsfall, but that was my first adventure I ever created, and I knew I could do better if I had more experience. But now I am actively writing and hiring writers to create adventures for us and I have to say it is quite a bit of fun. For a while I was getting burned out of Pathfinder. In the 5-1/2 years since Pathfinder’s release, more than 100 companies have published Pathfinder Compatible material (some of them weekly) and that is on top of the 3-ish products/month that Paizo releases themselves. I will be honest, there are times I try to come up with new products and I come up with a blank. This brings us to Deadly Delves. While there are alot of adventures out there, I do believe there is still a considerable amount of room for new stories. So that is why we are focusing on adventures for Pathfinder.
It did not start out that way though. Deadly Delves, when I came up with the idea of doing adventures a year ago, was for 5th Edition, not for Pathfinder. To be completely honest, the original idea was for an adventure path where the players faced off against the 5 different types of chromatic dragons. That specific idea was scrapped when, about a month after, Tyranny of Dragons was announced. But that did not stop Richard Moore from developing the adventure he was working on from completing it. In fact, Reign of Ruin still holds a number of ideas and names from the proto-setting we came up with for the adventures.
Which brings us to the 13th Age version of Reign of Ruin. Both Richard and I like 13th Age. So when it became obvious that a license for D&D 5th edition was not going to be available at launch, he developed the adventure for 13th Age and then converted it over to Pathfinder. We’ve made adjustments to how we develop adventures since then, but I have held off on releasing other 13th Age adventures until we got some feedback on the first. And we did. The feedback is overwhelmingly positive with some constructive input to make it better in the future. Namely: more integration with the 13th Age icons and suggestions for campaign failures. So once we make those adjustments to Rescue from Tyrkaven and others, we will resume releasing adventures for 13th Age.
The other area in Pathfinder we are focusing our energy is in races. Shortly after the release of the Book of Heroic Races Compendium, I started a thread that I thought was going to be a good promoter for the book. Instead it generated about a 1000 ideas for ways to develop playable races that have been largely ignored. Sure, races outside of the core rulebook have gotten some development, but 7 pages in the advanced race guide is hardly noteworthy and 2 pages is just a downright scandal compared to the supplements devoted to core book races. So we are going full bore ahead with the Book of Heroic Races Advanced Series. About half of the drafts have been turned in and we really believe that people that want to play something other than what Tolkien wrote about are going to just love them.
Which makes me think of new races for 13th Age. I mean there is no reason why I can’t adjust these races for this system. Sure, they will each need a new section talking about how they fit in with the icons, or possibly new icons for those that want to ignore elves and dwarves, but being such a rules light system, we can do so much more than what is possible with Pathfinder. For example, races don’t necessarily have to have a humanoid shape. We can have unicorns, pseudodragons, butterflies (tiny gnome-like creatures with butterfly-wings), intelligent wolves, rock people, and so much more. With 13th Age we don’t have to stick to D&D-based games, but can go a whole new direction. The possibilities are endless.
Speaking of D&D, I mentioned that I love the game and that there is still no official license for it. You see, no supplemet is as popular as the first 6 month to a year of the game. Paizo’s two most popular adventure paths are 1) Rise of the Runelords, their first AP and 2) Kingmaker, an adventure path first published 6 months (ending 1 year) after the release of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. That means that we are coming to a point where if Wizards doesn’t release a license for 5th edition or we are going to have to make a decision. Either a) support it through existing OGL material or b) forget about the game entirely. I really hope I don’t have to make that decision, but I do not know I can wait much longer.
To totally change subjects for a moment: Traveller. This company was founded on supporting Traveller and to this day Traveller remains some of our best selling products. Which is why I keep kicking myself for how little support I give the game. It certainly is not for lack of ideas. Developing border words for Foreven produces endless ideas. Adventures are a great idea as well. We even have a few short ones written that are apart of a larger campaign. But we have yet to finish it. We keep working on it when it when we have time. However, time is one of the most rare commodities we have these days. So we will be releasing more Traveller supplements this year, but when is kind of up in the air.
Now here is the real question: what surprises do we have up our sleeves for the year. That’s a good question and we are not totally ready to reveal that just yet, but have no fear, we have surprises coming, some that will be exceptionally amazing. We hope that you will stick with us for the year and enjoy the ride.

Although a lot of the notes are calling the poster’s bluff, (while I was writing this, I checked on the posts and saw that the last user I used for picture deleted their original post), I’m still afraid with Tumblr’s policy of let-hate-this-person-with-no-proof-what-so-ever, users will still blame him on something he couldn’t have possibly controlled.
That driver will feel guilty for the rest of his life that he killed someone, and I can guarantee doxing him or sending him death threats will only make things worse. We don’t need another person to lose their life over this.

The Alien series may have taken a sharp turn downhill after its second film, but District 9 director Neill Blomkamp is — at least somewhat — interested in stepping in to save it.
With last quarter’s sparkling 5% annualized growth in US GDP and the unemployment rate falling below 6%, it’s safe to say that 2014 was the year the US economy completed its recovery from the financial crisis.
But there’s still one major problem: Wage stagnation among American workers. Average wages have remained unchanged for the last eight years, and remain below what workers earned in the nineteen seventies.
One reason, you might suggest, is the problematic slowdown in US productivity growth of recent years—the so-called “great stagnation.” But even if you believe workers wages should rise in concert with productivity, that hasn’t been the case in the US since the seventies.
Another common excuse for this stagnation is that overall compensation is growing thanks to increased spending on benefits and healthcare, but as Brookings economist Barry Bosworth notes, non-wage compensation has held steady over the last several decades.
Which is why hopes that the recovery will finally begin bleeding into worker’s paychecks are misplaced. While there’s no question that the recession was a major drag on living standards, the trends that caused real wages to stagnate were in place long before. And given how much economic growth in the US is generated by personal consumption, it’s not just a problem for the working class.
That leaves Bosworth, and us, with one last explanation: The changing global economy, with its massive pool of labor, increasing emphasis on intellectual property, and permissive rules for capital sloshing around the world, has resulted what Bosworth calls a “new phenomenon … the decline in labor’s share of income for which we have no satisfactory explanation.”
If Bosworth and other wage-growth skeptics are correct, the increasingly robust US economy isn’t going to finally reward workers for their patience in 2015. Instead, it will confirm that wealthy countries haven’t found a way for the new global economy to spread its prosperity widely.

now that the college postseason isn't a complete fucking disaster joke I might just switch to college ball
Oregon and Ohio State used huge runs to reach the College Football Playoff final, Melvin Gordon gave fans one final memory, and Michigan State pulled off a three-touchdown comeback in the fourth quarter. It was a hell of a New Year's Day.
College football's showcase day, now headlined by two College Football Playoff games, lived up to any and all expectations. Let's look at the key numbers from January 1's five bowls.
The Citrus Bowl began with Missouri nursing a 19-17 lead over Minnesota. The Tigers had overcome a slow start (Maty Mauk threw interceptions on the first two possessions) and an incredible Maxx Williams touchdown to take the lead on a gritty Mauk touchdown run, but everything still hung in the balance.
Against a team that loves nothing more than to wear you down in the fourth quarter, Missouri wore down Minnesota. Fourth quarter rushing yards: Missouri 151, Minnesota 13. First, Russell Hansbrough ripped off a 78-yard touchdown run after pummeling blocks from center Evan Boehm and guard Connor McGovern. Then, Marcus Murphy raced 69 yards to set up a touchdown pass from Mauk to Bud Sasser. The Minnesota defensive front that had dominated the first quarter gasped for air.
When the clock ran out on Missouri's 33-17 win, the Tigers had outrushed the run-heavy Gophers, 337-106. Minnesota stayed in the game because of some impressive passing from Mitch Leidner -- 21-for-31 for 258 yards, one touchdown, and only two sacks -- but as the Tigers did during the six-game win streak that finished the regular season and won them the SEC East title, they gutted things out.
And by allowing just three points in Minnesota's final five possessions following Williams' touchdown, they sent defensive coordinator Dave Steckel, recently named Missouri State's head coach, out a winner.
Even if Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon had surpassed Barry Sanders' 2,628-yard single-season rushing record, it would have come with an asterisk, as Gordon got three extra games to attack the mark, despite having a similar number of carries. And he came up 41 yards short.
But the only way Gordon can fall short on anything is if you compare him to what might have been the best college running back of all-time.
In Thursday's preview, I said Auburn would likely stack the box to stop Wisconsin's running game because the Badgers couldn't even pretend to throw. And Badger quarterback Joel Stave completed just 14 of 27 passes for 121 yards, a sack, and three interceptions.
Did it matter?
Goodness, no. Gordon rushed 34 times for 251 yards and three scores, and backup Corey Clement added 105 yards on 15 carries.
eAnd with Auburn up three points and the Badgers having failed on six of their last seven drives, Gordon gave us one last incredible highlight.
At the 45-yard line, Gordon juked the wrong way and didn't fool the Auburn defender close to him. And it didn't matter. He just changed direction and outran him to the end zone regardless.
Gordon's mix of vision, agility, underrated strength, and untouchable speed have made him a gift to watch for the last three years, first as a big-play understudy for Montee Ball, then as a co-No. 1 with James White, then as a featured back. He has already declared for the NFL, as all running backs should (perhaps no position has a shorter shelf life than the running back). Before leaving, he carried his team one last time, this time to a 34-31 overtime win.
With 23 minutes left in the Rose Bowl, the day's first Playoff semifinal, Florida State's Travis Rudolph caught an 18-yard pass from Jameis Winston to cut Oregon's lead to 25-20. The Seminoles had blown some early scoring opportunities and had given up a quick Oregon drive to fall down by 12 points in the third quarter, but the perseverance meme that had defined FSU's season looked like it might continue.
It did not.
The dam that had shown cracks throughout FSU's season broke, and it flooded Tallahassee. Devon Carrington scored on a 56-yard pass from Marcus Mariota to make it 32-20. Dalvin Cook lost his second fumble of the quarter, and Mariota found Carrington for another score. Jameis Winston lost a fumble that launched a thousand memes, and Tony Washington returned it 58 yards for a touchdown. Winston threw a tipped interception, and Mariota scored six plays later. Jesus Wilson lost a fumble, and Thomas Tyner went in for a score.
In the span of about 13 minutes, Florida State turned the ball over four times, and Oregon scored five touchdowns.
The Seminoles had made a habit of playing sloppy ball until they could no longer afford to, removing all margin for error before hitting the accelerator. But they hadn't played a team anywhere near as good as Oregon. The Ducks showed toughness early, stuffing the 'Noles on an early goal line stand and allowing 13 points on five first-half scoring opportunities. And when judgment came, Oregon had none of FSU's "do just enough" routine.
When a team pulls off a few squeakers to get to within shouting distance of the national title, the end of the run is often disastrous. Notre Dame won six games by nine or fewer points in 2012, reached the BCS Championship, and lost by 28 points to Alabama. Florida's offense struggled to find fifth gear in 2009, and the Gators won four games by 10 or fewer points against teams with seven or fewer wins, then lost by three touchdowns to Alabama.
The regular season is good at weeding out pretenders -- it's hard for even tremendous teams to win 12 or 13 in a row -- and even when Auburn pulled off a series of magic acts in 2010, with six one-possession wins in the regular season (and almost a seventh in the BCS Championship), the Tigers at least matched the good fortune with clear improvement.
Florida State never improved. The Seminoles' run game got better, but the defense never came around. The combination of injuries and inexperience in the front seven, combined with a downright disappointing secondary, threatened to do them in repeatedly, as did general offensive sloppiness. That they got to 13-0 was a testament to Jimbo Fisher's in-game coaching ability and the ability of players like Winston and defensive tackle Eddie Goldman to make huge plays late in games.
But 13-0 isn't 14-0. And a 29-game win streak, while incredible, isn't 30. If you're not worthy of the title, you'll be found out. FSU was the best team in college football last season, but it might not have been one of the 10 best in 2014.
Oregon was by far the best team the Seminoles played, and after a slow start, the Ducks' offense lived up to the hype in terms of not only tempo, but play-calling, execution, speed, depth, and everything else. And when the FSU offense had to press, Oregon's defense stepped up. That FSU made mistakes was one thing; it was another for Oregon to take complete advantage.
I wrote that soon after Alabama took a 21-6 lead in the second quarter of the Sugar Bowl semifinal. A camera followed Ohio State's Jalin Marshall on the sideline as he fought off an emotional meltdown. The Buckeyes had blown a couple of goal-to-go situations, settling for field goals against a team field goals don't usually beat. It was beginning to look a bit dire for Urban Meyer's squad.
Then Cardale Jones hit Marshall for two 26-yard gains, and after losing five yards on eight previous goal-to-goal downs, the Buckeyes scored following consecutive three-yard gains by Ezekiel Elliott. After Alabama went three-and-out, Jones blew up the middle for 27 yards, and on a picture perfect trick play with 12 seconds left in the first half, receiver Evan Spencer threw a perfect pass and Michael Thomas made a perfect, just-barely-inbounds catch. Instead of being down 15 (or worse) at half, Ohio State was down just 21-20.
The combination of the late-half scores, playful play-calling, and Jones' aloof (in a good way) nature -- I'm not sure what it would take for him to look like he isn't having fun -- relaxed Ohio State. And in the second half, it was time for the team on the other sideline to grow unstable. A perfect zone blitz baited Bama quarterback Blake Sims into a Steve Miller pick six, and after a bad punt gave the Tide a golden opportunity to take the lead, down 34-28, Sims forced the ball into coverage and was picked off at the Ohio State 1. Alabama worked into Ohio State territory four times in the fourth quarter but scored only once.
Ohio State didn't even need to work the ball into Bama territory. They put the game away with a lightning bolt.
Alabama hadn't allowed more than 183 rushing yards in a game all season. Elliott rushed for 230 yards in just 20 carries. In Friday's preview, I wondered what would give, Alabama's incredible run defense or Ohio State's top-ranked run offense. It was the former.
Down 21-6, Ohio State went on a 28-0 run. And a perfect block, a hesitant angle from the safety, and a big back with big speed sent Ohio State into what should be an incredibly fun Playoff final.
There's something about Michigan teams in bowl games, apparently. (Well, two out of three. Sorry, WMU.) Barely a week after Central Michigan scored 34 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to nearly overcome a five-touchdown deficit in the Bahamas Bowl, Michigan State uncorked something even more impressive.
Down 41-21 to Baylor heading into the fourth quarter of the Cotton Bowl (partially because of the fattest of fat-guy touchdowns), the Spartans not only scored three touchdowns in four possessions, they kept Baylor off the board.
Baylor had scored on seven of eight possessions heading into the final stanza, and while State had done a good job of slowing the game down and holding Baylor to eight possessions in the first place, the Bears had still taken total command.
But Baylor kicker Chris Callahan hit the upright on a 46-yard field goal, and State scored on the ensuing possession. State recovered a surprise onside kick but threw an interception, and with the dagger in hand again, Baylor turned the ball over.
With 4:55 left, Jeremy Langford scored to cut Baylor's lead to 41-35, but again Baylor looked like it was ready to put the game away. Bryce Petty found Levi Norwood for a 31-yard gain, then he hit Corey Coleman for 26 yards to the State 7. But Coleman was called for a face mask penalty during his run, and the Bears were backed up to the 22. After a false start and a four-yard loss on second down, Baylor had to settle for a 43-yard field goal instead of something much shorter. Marcus Rush blocked it, R.J. Williamson returned it 36 yards into Baylor territory, and Chris Callahan got destroyed, and with a minute left, State needed to go just 45 yards for the win.
They went 45 yards. Cook found Keith Mumphery for 18 yards, then Tony Lippett for 17. And on third-and-goal with 17 seconds left, State completed the comeback.
Two sacks and an interception finished Baylor off, and with outgoing defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi (recently named Pitt head coach) and Mark Dantonio celebrating a win for the final time, we got ... feelings.

The Panthers are back in the playoffs for the second straight season, while the Cardinals are back in for the first time since 2009.
The NFL playoffs begin Saturday when the Wild Card round kicks off with the Carolina Panthers hosting the Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers won the NFC South division with a 7-8-1 record, while the Cardinals finished at 11-5 and earned a Wild Card spot after placing second in the NFC West behind the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks.
Despite Arizona boasting a better record, Carolina is a whopping 6.5-point favorite, per OddsShark. That seems less crazy when you realize the Cardinals may once again have to use their third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley if backup Drew Stanton is not ready to go. Stanton suffered a knee injury in Week 15, and Lindley went 0-2 as a starter in Stanton's place. On the other hand, the Panthers are riding a four-game winning streak and only allowed 43 points in the entire month of December.
The Panthers' defense will look to feast on Lindley in the same way it did Matt Ryan to end the season. In Week 17 at Atlanta with the division on the line, Carolina sacked Ryan six times and picked him off twice, both of which were returned for touchdowns. The Panthers dominated the entire game for a 34-3 win.
The thinking by many is the Panthers are on a roll and the Cardinals are toast with Ryan Lindley at quarterback. But I think the Arizona defense will keep them in this game long enough to find a way late to pull it out. It's too easy to bury the Cardinals and anoint the Panthers, who have played well as of late, as the flavor of the week. I just think the Cardinals are better than most think, and they will rise up to play good defense here and move on.
At ESPN, 10 of the 13 experts sided with the home team. Our SB Nation team agreed, favoring Carolina by a 6-2 margin:
Trig, 6, who has Down Syndrome, is shown stepping on the back of the family's black Labrador while it lies on the kitchen floor in order to reach the sink. The dog appears unruffled.
On the day of my 50th birthday I received an injury because I was overindulging in exercise boxing and cycling, which was itself an overcompensation for overindulging on alcohol coming up to the big birthday. I promised myself I would be more mindful of my limits, but just four years on, it happened again.
The accident occurred when an elastic exercise band broke, striking Reid in the face and causing him to fall, said spokesman Adam Jentleson. Reid struck some equipment as he fell, breaking multiple bones near his right eye.
As he hit the floor, he broke several ribs, Jentleson said.
