Everyone needs to shut the fuck up about Bryangate for a few pages, go watch that Orton v. Rhodes match again, and tell me it wasn't great.5 points

Well, there are a few ways to look at that. One is that he learned some type of important lesson from that feud/match and then went on to lose 4 consecutive times to the gentleman I referenced in an attempt to "do what is best for business" The other is that HHH is a racist that banged your mom.4 points

If their new thing is that everything is real, and there is no where else to work but WWE, then they should start attaching $ values to victories. It would make losing streaks mean something (poor Zach Ryder can't even afford a six-pack of Pabst Blue these days). It would explain how Big Show went broke, as he was 2-8 on PPV's last year. I'd give such an idea four Post-Modern Douchebags, out of five3 points

Fellas, I think I can tie this all together. Werner Herzog's first name can be Anglicanized as Vernon. John Vernon played Vernon Wormer in ANIMAL HOUSE, which accounts for the missing "W'. Vernon Wormer was the Dean of a college. Dean Ambrose's first name is Dean. Now. Focus on the brows. Just the brows... THIS IS A THING THAT IS HAPPENING TO US AND WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT!!!!!3 points

Oh, did I forget to add that in my concussed state on Saturday, my GF convinced me to leave the ER before I got checked (because she was tired of staying there), then after promising to stay with me all night to keep an eye on me...promptly bailed on me because "I was acting weird." Hmmm, might have to do with saving a girl (my GF's sister, BTW) from getting KO'd. With my face. I ended up texting my ex-wife at 4am, leaving her a message telling her to tell my daughters they were the two greatest things that ever happened in my life...just in case I didn't wake up in the morning. I then followed up by dumping my GF on Sunday...which also happened to be her 30th Birthday. BEST! WEEKEND! EVA!!!!!3 points

I would like to give a special shout-out to the people complaining about HHH and calling Randy Orton boring because you are being worked and it is really interesting to read these threads with that in mind. I honestly thought this place was above that. I can not for the life of me figure out why internet fans can't realize that the reason HHH and Orton are heels right now are exactly the reasons they've been complaining about those two for years. It was the same thing with Cena and folks not realizing that his super hero status is a vital aspect of his character designed to keep him dynamic, controversial, and versatile booking-wise. You are SUPPOSED to think HHH wants to be the focus of the show and is burying Daniel Bryan. You are SUPPOSED to think that Randy Orton doesn't deserve to be the champion or face of the company. It is baffling to me that people can dislike the heels for exactly the right reasons, support the faces for exactly the right reason, and still think the show was terrible and threaten to stop watching WWE altogether. You're adorable. You're terrible.3 points

Actually the biggest complaint anyone should have is that they just did an angle two years ago where the roster walked out en masse on HHH as COO when he wasn't being nearly the dick he is now.2 points

So I played Batman: Arkham City for the first time since the 8th of August yesterday (didn’t want to play it while my Mum was in hospital). I had a big session in the main story: going back into the Steel Mill, fighting The Joker with thugs, Mr. Hammer and a Titan jumping in as ghost trains are running, playing the Catwoman section when you break into the TYGER vault, as Batman climbing helicopters in search for TYGER Master Control Program codes, climbing Wonder Tower, going up against Hugo Strange, finishing the main story as Batman and the final Catwoman section as she faces Two-Face. If you remember, I said I forgot to destroy the one remaining Titan container when you visit Wonder City for the first time. I wasn’t looking forward to going through the Subway to get it as I found it the easiest place to get lost, then Wonder City but you return to Wonder City as you head for Hugo Strange. I liked that as I was able to destroy that Titan container and end the Fragile Alliance side mission. I also unlocked a couple more challenge maps. Before I stopped, I found the third remaining Deadshot victim and narrowed the three possible locations where he’s at and completed enough riddles to rescue the fourth Riddler hostage. Remaining now from main story mode are a few side missions, Riddler Trophies, Riddles, Riddler hostages and the breakable objects. I have Harley Quinn’s Revenge as I own Batman: Arkham City, Game of the Year edition. I’m guessing as that was DLC, it doesn’t reflect the upgrades/skills made in main story mode? Don’t like that. I also have the medals from challenge mode/challenge maps which I think most people know it as, not Riddler’s Revenge. This post is getting big so I’ll spoiler tag my favourite and least favourite things from Batman: Arkham City for size.2 points

Yes. That was so much better than a cut scene or a jump right into the action. Very interactive and fun. The one thing Arkham Asylum had that I missed a lot in City was the Scarecrow stuff. I lost it during the Crime Alley sequence. that was so fucking awesome.2 points

The important thing is to complain about how badly an angle has paid off before it has paid off. That way you can boost your internet credibility by saying I TOLD YOU SO and it doesn't at all reflect how shitty your life must be.2 points

This is pretty spot on. There are actually two characters here who are behaving differently than everyone in the history of WWE. Bryan, by acknowledging that he can easily survive in a world that apparently (who knew!) exists outside of "The WWE UNIVERSE!!!" and HHH who is making it clear that the Austin thing won't work with him. It always used to be that if the boss told you not to do something or you'd get fired...you just stunnered/rock bottomed/whtavered the boss...and he would be so mad that he would keep you around to try and destroy you...and end up losing his company to you or something. HHH is short-circuiting that, which makes sense considering that's exactly what he used to do to Vince and he understands the ploy It is clear that if you attack him...he'll just fire you. That's new too. (except that he's conspicuously not doing that with Bryan himself..apparently just not being afraid of him or because as you said he knows firing him won't hurt him since he can actually survive in the world. This one mistake should be his downfall). So both sides in this story are off the normal script. the Bryan thing is, as you put it, more subversive and makes him seem like the only real person in the company.2 points

I really don't understand what everyone is complaining about. This angle, for the most part,is brilliant. And remarkably subversive. The reason why none of the other faces are standing up for DB is because they are essentially brainwashed by the WWE.They believe, like Cena, there is no other place to wrestle other than the WWE. Only DB sees the world differently. He's already stated that if he was fired tomorrow, he'd just go back wrestling in high school gymnasiums. But they won't fire him,because he's too popular and makes them money.I just think it's a really well thought storyline,one of the best they've had in a while.2 points
-
Jesus Christ people they just FIRED Cody Rhodes so that he can come back and HELP Bryan... and before his exit he cut a money promo. Yes, they are in a situation where they produce way too much television and that's an issue but the reaction here is way overboard. Buried Bryan? Seriously? He's been fighting 4 on 1.2 points

The thing that always confused me with the Boss Man/Mountie feud is that neither of them had any authority to arrest the other leading to the Hard Times match. The Mountie was way out of his jurisdiction, heck not even in the right country, whilst Boss Man wasn't even a policeman.2 points

As for all the debates about cast changes, I think MST3K is a show that stayed strong despite the changes over the years.1 point

If you're interested in the Hammer radio plays check this out, I saved the page long ago but never ended up listening to any of these. Inner Sanctum along with Lights Out and Suspense was a classic radio show in the pre-TV era and thankfully the shows are preserved for history here: http://archive.org/details/otr_innersanctummysteries1 point

If you're going to drag Bryan's title win out that long, I don't see why you don't just wait an extra month and have him win the Royal Rumble and get the title shot at Wrestlemania.1 point

He was REALLY thoughtless and had violent outbursts. He wasn't a monster but he also wasn't "a generally solid guy".1 point

For the record, the actual wrestling on WWE is rarely bad these days. I'm perfectly fine with Bryan and Rollins wrestling each other a whole lot.1 point

Make sure you have enough room and voltage to plug a bastard in. Make sure you don't get one of those videocards that's really only built for playing movies and shit. If all the user reviews mention HTPC, you probably don't want it. I got a GTX 650 off newegg for 90 bucks a few months ago. It's MSI so that's why it was under a hundred. That seems to be the cheapest good card of that whole nvidia bunch at this momemt. You go lower and you don't see savings, you go higher and it bumps up about 150 bucks for not that much power increase. Sometimes you get free game vouchers but that is mostly on cards over 150 bucks. If you see it has a rebate, and you want to get that rebate, be prepared to fuck around and then wait three months to see that 15-20 dollars. Even with a good card your CPU can still slow shit down. Mostly on big online deals with tons of players. I can't run planetside 2 with anything resembling a playable framerate. Good cards are going to hopefully get super cheap at the beginning of 2014 once the new consoles have been out for a minute.1 point

Naomi was pretty awful the last time I saw her in a singles match. She's got a great look with lots of potential, but she's still not on Nattie's level(Who people decided to deem terrible because of one botched Sharpshooter).1 point

I hope WB Montreal keep Rocksteady Studios traditional slow walking introduction. Batman: Arkham Asylum's has Batman taking The Joker into Arkham Asylum and in Batman: Arkham City, it's Bruce Wayne who is in Arkham City. So well done.1 point

-Bryan is receiving louder and more sustained pops now than he was prior to the Cena match -Cody cut a money face promo and will return to help Bryan -Big Show has gained sympathy and had people actually chanting his name -Titus appears to be front and center of a possible revolution -Ziggler is bumping around in handicap matches and appears to be in line as someone who will also assist Bryan -Orton is fresh again -Shield are still world beaters and pushed back to the top of the card Yeah, the angle is helping nobody.1 point

Of course he doesn't win at NOC. Why would he? It would be like opening a movie with Batman in trouble, then twenty minutes later, he's the winner. I really think, at this point, the WM main event will be Bryan/Orton and Cena/Undertaker (or Lesnar or something), so settle in for the long haul, or start watching TNA where angles are hotshot every week. Wrestling smarks have to have the shortest amounts of patience of any fans ever: "Come on, this has been going on for two weeks now! Where's the payoff!?" Seriously, people, two weeks. That's it. The Triple H turn was on August 17th, today is September 2nd. Also, I seriously doubt we're going to get anyone standing up to the new corporation on Raw, it's probably going to come on a PPV. You want your big pop/big moment, you've gotta pay for it. It's not about patience in my case, it's just that this sucks cock. I mean I get what they are trying to do (I think?), but Bryan being held still by Reigns for what felt like ten minutes, while Big Show blubbered around, and the whole roster just watching again....I mean....I don't see anyway that segment was good. And I really want to because Show, Bryan, The Shield are some of my absolute favorites It was completely compelling TV. Big Show having to sell his soul to the Corporation (It's what I'll call them until they come up with a name), or get fired and punch out the most popular guy on the roster. Bryan having literally no allies. If I was a kid (Who, once again, are the prime audience), I'd be so ticked off at what they were doing to Bryan that I'd be tuning in to each and every show to watch Bryan get his revenge and Show finally find his balls. This is your basic superhero booking: superhero loses his allies and is repeatedly beaten down until there is almost no hope, then starts to fight his way back. I'm honestly baffled at the responses this storyline is generating. I have to chalk it up to Triple H's involvement and everyone suspecting what he's doing is burying Daniel Bryan like he's supposedly done in the past to others. Otherwise, I'm honestly puzzled.1 point

So Invincible Universe has been fun, but even so I hope we can get some longer stories or at least continuing subplots. "Done in one" doesn't have to mean "isolated", which is how most of this series feels; they grab a plot point from Invincible or one of its other former spin-offs, follow up on it in a cursory fashion and move on to something else. Picked up the $30 Valiant bundle on Comixology, haven't started it yet but I'm looking forward to it. I need to catch up on Transformers: RID before the crossover starts in the fall. I had kept up with More Than... but dropped RID after #15 because of IDW cutting the back-issue discount. (Yeah, I know, I'm part of the problem for non-big-two publishers.) I wish they hadn't announced that the Christmas wave of toys would have comics from that crossover, since it kind of spoils some of who survives the current arcs and who hasn't been IN series but will be getting prominent.1 point
