Was going to say holy shit that was some fast shipping, then I realized Kestrel edited his own post 11 days later

I can see the niners ending up 12-4 winning the NFC West.

Well, I was close.  Damn the Rams

So, I just did the first outpost and I'm trying to enter a vehicle to get to my next waypoint, I hit E (PC) to enter the car I hear the car start up and then it forces me to exit the vehicle.  What am I doing wrong?

I assuming its a pc bug cuz on ps3 I haven't witnessed this. You're not holding down E, are you?

It says to hold E....  I've tried both

And shortly after my last post it worked out of the blue.

This year I'm making a resolution to not buy any games until I finish the ones I haven't beaten yet.

I just bought my last game today (Far Cry 3)

Here's my steam backlog with 2 xbox games in the mix
Assassin's Creed III Xbox 360
Black Mesa PC
Call of Duty Black Ops II PC
Borderlands 2 PC
Borderlands 2 Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty PC
Borderlands 2 Mr. Torque's Campaign of Carnage PC
Borderlands 2 Creature Slaughterdome PC
Darksiders PC
Darksiders II PC
Dishonored PC
FarCry 3 PC
Madden 2013 Xbox 360
Max Payne 3 PC
Spec Ops: The Line PC
Torchlight II PC
The Walking Dead PC

Well, even though I had just convinced myself I would wait, Far Cry 3 went on sale today so I caved in. 

There was a site that you could just buy the cd key and was legit.  It was in Europe, selling it for $30 US.  I wanted to download the client first and do some research on the company before buying it, and after I found out it was legit, they were out of stock, and has been out of stock since Christmas.  Pissed me off for waiting.  This will have to do.  This is my last game I'm buying for quite some time.

This topic has been moved to Forum and Site Feedback.

Marking my territory here.  now I'll need to force myself to go back and (ac)count for all the games I played last year.

Enter that in the 2012 thread

Yah, I saw that.  So much for all turnovers are reviewed...  Of course if Harbaugh challeneged it would have cost us a TO.

Niners defense went into PREVENT D in the 3rd quarter, allowing Brady to dink and dunk, with some occasional deep passes. Straight out of the Steve Mariucci playbook. Thankfully the went back to the 1st half defense and saved the day.

Don't know what they were thinking that a 28 point game was a big enough lead against Brady.

And Kap.... Learn to take a snap in the rain. Jesus.

wow, while it's nice that this happens in niner's favor (finally) I've always hate that rule. Niners are ruled for muffing a punt, patriots recover, but niners held, and that negates the play. I hate that rule. (except this time )

Thank you I had no idea what the call was.

Ok, between my 1 week old baby crying, and the referee's mic going in and out, I believe it was ruled that Ginn touched the ball, I could be wrong.  It was very similar to Kyle Williams disaster last year.  Guess they haven't learned.

My first match involved me initially Zerg-rushing basic engineers to all the capture points. However, my foothold soon crumbled under the weight of Soviet sniper bullets.

It’s now worth mentioning two of the new features being implemented for the sequel; a new line-of-sight system (dubbed “TrueSight”) and the dynamic weather. Large objects in the world can now block your unit’s effective LOS until they move into a position where the object no longer obscures their view of a particular part of the terrain, opening up ambushing opportunities.

This, in combination with the random blizzards that now appear, was the saving grace of my veteran engineer unit when it came under fire from enemy snipers. The sudden snowstorm reduced the range of the snipers and I was able to retreat back to safety behind a bunch of trees to wait for reinforcements.

But if the bullets didn’t kill them, the cold definitely did. I found out the hard way that leaving infantry idling in a blizzard without basking them in the warmth of a building or fire is a reliable way to ensure their torturous virtual death.

I wonder if there's a "Meteorologist" unit that runs around yelling "Partly Cloudy! Cold front on the horizon! Wind coming in from the SE! Wintry mix!"

Every game I watch seems to have questionable unnecessary roughness calls for any thing resembling a hard hit.  Tough to watch a game with so many flags being thrown on each team.

Ya the roughing the passer call against Bowman was incredibly retarded.

Are these the Niners or Raiders with all these penalties?????

Penalties weren't as bad as weeks past.  Last week was horrible, some legit, and some refs need to let players play.

What we should be concerned is the 3rd down conversion, and the conservative play calling we seem to be doing game after game.

Bring back Alex Smith

My dad was here watching the game while visiting his new granddaughter, and I was saying Kap is playing the same way as Alex, no difference, than all of a sudden he runs it in for a 50 yard TD....  Well, Alex can't do that.

I just want to know what the f that guy was thinking diving into a clearly sliding Bradford and giving them 15 yards for nothing. Also Cortland Finnegan is a dirty piece of shit.

From what the announcers said (it wasn't shown on the replay) was that Goldston had already committed when he slid.  I also don't think it was a safety.

By the way, I don't mean to take anything away from the Rams.  Their D played phenomenal and it was pretty clear that Fisher and his staff outcoached Harbaugh and the 49ers coaches.  But those mistakes are what cost them the game, and they were largely unnecessary.

Ya both games the Rams out coached the 49ers.  The 1st game they just kept making mistakes, but even with those mistakes they had our number.  Today, they made Kap uncomfortable, and took away alot of his plays. 

Lots of penalties in this game, some questionable (like unnecessary roughness on Kap (helmet to the head)) and many penalties due to lack of discipline for the niners. 

Looks like the Rivalry has shifted back to the 49ers vs Rams.  The last several years it was 49ers vs Arizona.

LOL

did he really get it?  Looks like he was tackled with his knee hitting the ground before crossing the line.

I don't think so, but it was ruled a first down before they reviewed it.  After review it stood.  Honestly, the whole sequence for the review and marking distance took about 5-6 minutes to resolve

Hometown Review. 

Except that the game was played in SD.

They really didn't have any HD cameras at the game?

Man where is Akers from last year?

really.  Age catching up?

A good win.  Had some calls go our way, but hey I consider it even considering last year they were trying to injure players for cash. 

It's just Window's stuttering

From the article:

Harbaugh informed Smith of his decision and that it was not due to the former No. 1 overall pick's recent concussion.

Got what you wanted Niner fans.  Good luck.

I've always wanted Smith out, I'd admit, but the last season and a half he's improved so I was willing to see what he could now that he had the weapons.  I don't think right now is the time, unless he's injured, or a series of bad performances. 

Hope this works out, Harbaugh's going to have egg on his face if this backfires.

Harbaugh...come on man

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8661168/alex-smith-colin-kaepernick-san-francisco-49ers-play-according-jim-harbaugh

I don't really like that strategy.  It would make it hard to gain momentum.  When the 49ers played the Giants, Alex had started to move the ball downfield (early on mind you) and they pulled him out after a nice pass (this one longer than 5 yards ) and put in CK.  The play bombed, and when Alex came back he couldn't convert, and it just ruined the flow. 

Ran across a live playthrough.  too much chat but gives a good look.

Can't you guys just be happy they didn't tie again?

I'm very happy.  That game was horrible, bad play calling, flat offense and defense, just mind boggling they played so badly against a bad team like that.

From Chris Mortensen:

@mortreport: 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh on QB starter next time out, Smith or Kaepernick: We'll see.Tend to go with hot hand.

If you take Smith out now, then there's no going back.  Talk about confidence crusher.  It be one thing if Smith was playing horribly.  He's no elite QB or anything, but he's done a decent job this year.  His INT's have increased due to him passing more compared to last year when they didn't really have any targets, and the niners were game managing him (which I still don't think that's a negative term)  But to kick him out now would really screw with his confidence should he have to come back as a starter.

Play with what you have.  Colin will be around, continue to develop him.  One good game doesn't mean you're ready to go.

I agree, though I think a 70% completion rate and a QB rating of 104 is better than "decent".  He may play safely within the system, but he's executing that system very well.

Well when you are throwing passes 4-5 yards at a time all the time, it's pretty easy to have an accurate QB rating.  But that's fine, it's got them their wins.  It just makes it a boring offense.  Two QBs, two different play styles.  It's just to early to switch just because of one good game. 

Incorrect assumption is incorrect:

He can thank his receivers for the extra yardage.

Try again: http://hosted.stats.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=231

That stat doesn't prove anything other than 49ers are near the bottom in YAC.  According to that same site, Alex Smith is #31 ranked in Passing Attempts, so of course their YAC are going to be low.  The WR's don't get as many opportunities as other teams do.  The stat you are looking for is something that measures how many yards did a QB throw to at the spot where the completion was made.  I don't know or think there is a stat that measures that, but that's what I'm referring to when the reason why Alex's rating is that high is because he throws short passes before the WR's takes it the rest of the way (YAC).  It's pretty difficult to not be accurate when dinking and dunking.

I wasn't criticizing him at all, I'm just pointing out that there is a legitimate reason why his QB rating is high. 

Either way, I'm glad the niners are succeeding, I'm glad that we now have insurance in terms of QB (first time in a long long time).  Each QB has their own style, the coaching seems to adapt to that and succeed.  But stick with Smith until it's his job to lose (injury or performance based)

Man it feels like someone hijacked my account right? 

Like I said, he's not a great QB, but Harbaugh has done something that no other coach has done, understand his strengths and weaknesses, and he's used that to form his offense.  Mainly through game managing, and that's the style Alex is.

QB controversy incoming.

Yeah, dude looked like came to play.

I think for this year Smith is still clearly the better choice, but tonight's outing really gave me some level of hope for Kaepernick in the future (whereas before I really had none).

I agree.  Smith built up his equity the last year.  But if things change with his level of play (ala pre-Harbaugh days) then it's time to pull the plug.

DA NINERS!

What an ass kicking. And it should have been a shutout no thanks to the ref who blew that play on the fumble recovery attempt. Illegal block my ass.
