How do you call the Viola bike in Metroid Prime 4? I just unlocked the test track in Volt Forge that I clearly need the bike for but don't have it with me or whatever. How do I summon the thing?

Now, witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational Joel Embiid.* *yeah, I know it's against the shorthanded and bad Pacers, so IDK if we can expect this to be his norm again, but still very encouraging/impressive especially without Tyrese Maxey in the lineup

KOTOR was obviously fantastic, and, uh, FOTOR (???) maybe will be, too, but that trailer was blah as hell and appeared to be all CG, and it's probably in a race with Elder Scrolls VI to see which can release last. Meh for now, but I'm sure I'll get excited for it...later.

It's frankly absurd that Donkey Kong Bananza is appearing on all the GOTY contender lists but Metroid Prime 4 isn't. I assume it's getting pushed to 2026 awards, but that's stupid, bc, and this is true, it released in 2025. MP4 is far, far better than DK, which is also good.

How was that not intentional grounding on Herbert? Chucked it at the feet of three offensive linemen with no one else in the vicinity. What obscure goofball rule makes that not grounding?

The entire NFL owes the Eagles a huge thank you for breaking the Chiefs.

Sixers would probably be first in the East if the third quarter didn't exist. Unfortunately, it does exist, and they are basically as bad as The Process Sixers during the third quarter.

You know LeBron James is getting old because he had a mismatch on Tyrese Maxey and refused to attack him, instead passing it off, which led to a turnover. There's no chance the Maxey of today would even be able to cover the James of last year.

So far, I have to agree with everyone who said the most annoying part about Samus having sidekicks isn't the sidekicks but the fact that Samus doesn't talk to them. It's 2025, long past time for Nintendo to fully voice Samus, Link, etc. It's just silly at this point.

Is there no way to invert the vertical aiming while in lock-on mode in Metroid Prime 4? Easy enough to invert normal aiming in the settings, but it didn't invert lock-on aiming, making it a nightmare for me to control.

Nintendo really made me wait over 18 years for this, but it's finally here. I don't even remember wtf I was doing in August 2007 at 24 years old when Metroid Prime 3 came out. Just occurring to me that was before even Halo 3 came out. Before "Finish the Fight." Wow.

Why is 76ers Assistant Coach Kyle Lowry playing basketball right now?

Arlington Clownboys basically clinch an early January Cancun berth. You love to see it. Dallas still sucks.

Let me get this straight: Netflix is showing the Stranger Things finale in theaters...but not in any theaters in Philadelphia. And also there is now something called a "Netflix House" in "Philadelphia" (King of Prussia, PA)...and they're not showing the finale there? Does it even have a screen?

Best part of Spotify Wrapped was @bowulf.bsky.social and @ej-smith.bsky.social of @phlyeagles.bsky.social telling me that even relative to other "sickos," I am truly the sickest of the sick. Much for me to reflect on in the year ahead.

We'll see how the ending pulls it all together, but they nailed it with Volume 1 of the final Stranger Things season.

Jalen Carter was being held and still came up with the sack. It's crazy that he still doesn't get the calls at this point in his career. We see this every week.

Can someone explain to me why all the sports merchandise for sale in North Carolina's "Triangle" is UNC, Duke, (makes sense so far) and...Buffalo Bills??? Are there a ton of Western NY transplants down here or what? Oddly, zero Carolina Panthers stuff anywhere.

Should have just let him score at that point.

Eagles have done a lot of dumb crap, but seems like every even slight infraction on us they catch and every 50-50 call is against us and nothing against them in the second half. You have to play smarter than this, but some of these calls/missed calls are brutal.

Eagles, can you maybe chill out with dumb penalties a little bit? This game is a blowout if not for some really silly mistakes.

🎵 Marjorie got in one little fight with Donnie and got scared She said, "I'm moving with my conspiracy and cat back to Georg-ia"🎵

Someone check on Freddie Mitchell and Donovan McNabb. The Bills just converted 4th and 27.

Fifty-four points and nine assists in 47 minutes for an OT win on the second night of a road back-to-back by Tyrese Maxey is frankly insane behavior that might actually be illegal. The Sixers won't win enough games for it to happen, but he looks like the NBA MVP so far.

Some deranged white woman just screamed that she was going to call ICE on the Hispanic guy driving behind me...over an argument about who was going to back up and let the other through first. Microcosm of the insane lack of humanity in the world.

So, you're saying, "Half-Life 3 Confirmed"?

"They're taking the Koroks to Isengard!"

Since 2022, the Eagles are 24-7 against teams with winning records. That's just insane. Never imagined I would live through this level of dominance. The offense deserves criticism, but you have to let yourself enjoy this if you're a Birds fan. Unprecedented run of success.

Eagles stop throwing behind the LOS please. PLEASE.

Can't believe all these Eagles fans dressed up as Packers fans and went to North Jersey to boo an injured Giants player. Shocking stuff. Wild but commitment.

I can't prove this, but I know it to be true that the Sixers lead the NBA in surrendering end-of-quarter half-court three heaves.

I'm of two minds here. On the one hand, I'm very open to changing the vibes & such. I want that feeling from Metroid Prime of this is completely different than anything I've ever played, wow. But, Nintendo blabbermouth sidekicks have historically sucked. www.eurogamer.net/metroid-prim...

Is 2025 the worst holiday season for games releases ever or just, like, this century? Yotei is solid. I'm hopeful for Metroid. And that's it. Worse, the next thing to get excited about is Resident Evil...on February 27.

Me earning seven figures as a senior football strategy consultant and fixing literally every problem the Eagles have

Hate to compliment the Celtics on anything, but those uniforms are sharp.

Don't tell nobody, but they just released the real NFL Power Rankings. 10. Packers 9. Bucs 8. Bills 7. Lions 6. Seahawks 5. Rams 4. Colts 3. Patriots 2. Eagles 1. Broncos

A pass down the field to a wide receiver? Is that allowed? They might get sent straight to football jail for that one. #FlyEaglesFly

Yeah, good call on this one, Daboll. lol lmao even

If you just view them as the comedy troupe they are, the New Jersey Giants are super entertaining.

And now the Giants basically do the same stupid shit. These coaches are so dumb, man.

Punting from the opponent's 37 is insane behavior. LOL Bears.

I don't know why everyone hates Tony Romo as a broadcaster. Honestly, he's the best color man there is. Romo: This is usually where Josh McDaniels comes up with a big play. Next play: *huge touchdown pass, longest Patriots play of the season*

Valve should definitely shadow-release Half-Life 3 on November 18, 2026 just for the bit.

One of CNN's roundtable guests having a complete fucking meltdown over Mamdani's victory in NYC. You love to see it.

Spanberger just said American democracy was born in Virginia. This is Philadelphia erasure! Slanderous!

Not for nothing, but how old are the kids in the Autos for Adolescents jingle now? Are they legally renting cars yet? The ad has to be at least 15 years old now, right?

No NFL team has ever dominated their Bye Week the way the Eagles just did. A generationally great bye for the Birds.

The Northeast is covered in pro-Dugan/anti-Krasner shit, there's an army of Dugan bots on social media, and there's been a decent amount of Dugan advertising, but I haven't seen shit from/for Larry Krasner, making it even more apparent Krasner knows he's coasting to a huge win

No more Andre Drummond threes, please.

Really enjoying Ghost of Yotei so far but Sucker Punch, are you serious with, "someone out there gotta know something about someone lol lmao"? I am 30 or 40 years old. I'm not traipsing around the whole overworld hoping to randomly trip over the next main quest start point.
