Medium shells.

@Kal-El814 - Unfortunately this is correct. Sorry, pal.

Well it's better than what I feared; Mario enemy or generic FE dude. But it's not that exciting for me. I give it a meh out of 10.

Neat! In that case.. NOTICE TO ALL PLAYERS: At the conclusion of Week 4 Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and their players will have effectively tallied zeroes for all their weekly stats (0 yards, penalties, interceptions, etc.) for the purposes of questions 4, 6, and 8 and a no-contest/draw for the purposes of questions 5 and 7. If you need to adjust your answers to the questions based on this development, you have until the deadline this evening (08:19PM Eastern time) to edit your entry. The Steelers/Titans game has been replaced with Colts/Bears in question #5. @Kal-El814@ManUtdRedDevils@Alpha1Cowboy@Dodger@AbsolutSurgen@BasemntDweller2@Keyser_Soze@Emperor Diocletian II@Greatoneshere@Biggie

Steam is hosting a festival for ‘digital tabletop’ games next month WWW.THEVERGE.COM The festival runs from October 21st to the 26th. "The festival will showcase speakers like prolific designer Steve Jackson (creator of the GURPS roleplaying system, as well as many individual roleplaying games), Call of Cthulhu RPG designer Sandy Petersen, and Games Workshop co-founder Ian Livingstone. It will also include sessions for individual games." Sounds like it could be interesting. Like panel day at a traditional con.

Haha, well unfortunately it's not an option. Questions five specifically is "Call the winners" and question 7 is "how many home teams will win"; if they draw, neither is a winner and would thusly be an incorrect answer for those questions. Similar to how any player who called Philly or Cincy for question 7 last week did not get credit for the team getting off the schneid.

There's lots of characters it could be, but I'm afraid it's going to be another random Mario Bros. enemy or another generic strategy/SMT/Fire Emblem sword guy. I hope I'm wrong.

No changes if they play before Tuesday. For the purposes of the MGT the NFL week ends at the conclusion of the Monday Night Football games. Word right now is that the game will be played on Monday instead of Sunday. If that's the case, great. If however the game is postponed beyond that, then Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and their players will have effectively tallied zeroes for all their Week 4 stats (0 yards, penalties, interceptions, etc. for the purposes of questions 4, 6, and 8 and a no-contest/draw for the purposes of questions 5 and 7).
