I've won 8 in a row. King's Pride is 13-0. Someone's streak is about to end in the semifinals...

Ah, yes. Duh. My bad. It's still pretty rare these days.

Who was the last QB to actually sit for a season and then come in the next year and have a good career? Maybe Jimmy G, but that was more to having Brady than anything else. Teams don't really do that anymore, even with projects like Josh Allen. The best that you can really hope for is for a guy to be eased into things after a bye week. Who are the last ones to actually sit, Rivers or Rodgers? Everyone else either played sooner or busted.

I haven't dabbled much in the online, but Nintendo seems behind there as always. World of Light is kind of fun, though some of the battles are absolutely ridiculous. I haven't played as any of the new characters yet. Anyone have a favorite?

What's the status of this league? It was...less than active for quite a few owners last year.

The game is pretty great so far. I'm sure some of you have put in way more time than I have, but I've had a lot of fun dabbling in the different modes. I put a couple of hours into the adventure mode and I've completed the classic mode with 4-5 different characters. It seems like every 10-15 minutes I'm unlocking another character, which is fun so far. I think that I have 15 or 16 characters unlocked, which means that I have 60-ish to go. The game also looks pretty nice, and it's surprisingly easy to keep track of what's going on if you're playing handheld.

That's pretty huge for Nintendo. I wonder how they pulled that off? Anyway, SMASH is out today! Who does everyone like to play as? I haven't played much Smash since Melee, so I'll have to try out my old favorites (Link and Marth) and go from there.

Players like Washington just really make me wish that we either got to keep everyone, like a true dynasty league, or that we had a taxi squad of some sort. It makes it hard to keep those developmental guys on your roster when you can only keep 12 players each year.

Pettis should be interesting to watch going forward. I was hoping to pick him and watch him develop in SF with Jimmy G, but you took him right before my pick. I ended up with James Washington, who hasn't done much so far.

Division leaders get the #1 - #4 seeds, right? So even though I'll have 10 wins and probably Top 2-3 in points, I'll be the fifth or sixth seed? Either way I'm happy to be in the playoffs for once.

It's convenient. If there's a game that I plan on going in and out of on a regular basis, it's nice to not have to switch disks. Most games don't really retain their value very well either - if you wait more than a few months you'll be lucky to get $20 for most AAA games, especially if you try GameStop and don't sell on eBay. Nintendo games seem to be the rare exception, and that's because they never go on sale. Digital games can also be shared (on Xbox), so it's great if you have a buddy that you play multiplayer with.

I'm hearing that money is super tough to come by online. Is this true? Someone mentioned that they did their first mission or raided a camp and came away with something like $0.45. A can of beans costs $1.50 in the game - is it that tough to make money so far?

Yeah, I got the game every year from 09 on, so I'll have to see if I can tolerate going back to it.

I picked up my old 360 last night. The only NCAA games that I still had were NCAA 09 and NCAA 10. I'm going to start a dynasty in 10 tonight - I'm thinking I'll go for a small school like Tulane and build then up or a less prestigious school in a big conference, like Arizona State or Colorado.

Mario Kart is a blast with any age. MK8 Deluxe even has options to assist with steering and speed, so the less skilled can still have a lot of fun.
