I’m glad Andor continues the long tradition of showing that the leadership of the Rebel Alliance/New Republic are dumb as fuck and it’s a fucking miracle that they were able to overcome the Empire/First Order. Although I suppose you could chalk that up to an equal amount of hubris and stupidity on the part of the Empire and First Order.

Holy shit.

HELL YEAH, FUCK YEAH. Nobody 2 I can only get so hard.

Ok. Clair Obscura is really fucking rad. This has to be one of the most unique and good battle systems I’ve played in an RPG. Only thing that sort of bugs me are the words not coming close to matching up with the character’s mouths. That’s pretty minor though.

They're not gaming comedy. It just happened that when they'd talk about games it would be funny sometimes because they were without a leash and free to basically say the things that we all thought. But I would not describe them as gaming comedy. Not the least.

Praise Game Pass. Downloading it now. I'm just hoping that if I start a session on the PC that I can continue on my Xbox on the big tv.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Hell, I thought that when it came out because while there wasn’t a full blown invasion, there was still fighting in the Donbass and Crimea was occupied. It just was very tone deaf.

Billy Bob’s wife on Landman is one of the worst written characters I’ve ever seen. Holy shit. Honestly, I’m only watching this because Billy Bob is really good in it. I guess Jon Hamm is too. Everyone else is written like a fucking caricature.

I was bored while making a craft so I decided to watch Landman for whatever reason. It does feel gross because it’s not very MAGA-y, but it feels like I’m being lectured to by oil companies at times for why renewables are just as bad for the environment as oil. Aside from that, this is pretty fucking funny. Every episode that I watched, which was 4 of them, gave me a pretty big laugh. I feel really bad for the guy that plays Billy Bob’s son on the show. He is somehow uglier and more rat faced than Alfie Allen.

Well shit. I'm sold.

Sounds pretty dope. What is the story about? Typical saving the world stuff?

I'm not gonna lie...I haven't watched any videos of Clair Obscur and up until a day or two ago had no interest in it primarily because the name is incredibly dumb. That is also very dumb and vain, I understand. However, it's like the fucking thing at this moment and it's all anyone is talking about or doing videos for. One dude I relied on for Last Epoch and Path of Exile videos is now doing videos for Clair Obscur. So I guess in the simplest way possible, wtf is this game?

Oh man, now THAT would get Cena some forever heel heat - getting Vin Diesel to interfere to help Cena win a match. But there is no fucking way ol' Vin is taking the ego hit from getting booed.

It's weird you don't know given how long you've been gaming and on how many corners of the internet you're on. It's a games website. Maybe one of the best. They probably laid the foundation for independent games journalism, podcasts, and long form videos and streams. It started a couple years before my daughter was born, I think, so around 2008. The original crew was Jeff Gerstmann who was fired from Gamespot because he wouldn't change his Kane and Lynch review and then spoke out about review practices over there (under an older leadership that has been dead for a long time). Ryan Davis from Gamespot joined him. So did Vinny Caravella and Brad Shoemaker. Once Alex Navarro was done with making Rock Band games he joined the crew as well. Others came on board, content remained great, they partnered with a company called Whiskey Media to keep them going, they came close to being killed off and then Ryan Davis died and there was a massive outpouring of support which showed just how much Giant Bomb meant to so many people. The site stayed alive, it was eventually sold to Gamespot and CBS because there was new ownership there. Since then, it has been sold too many times. Brad, Vinny, and Alex all left and formed Nextlander, The last corporate owners were Fandom, who fucking suck. Jeff was looking at putting in his two weeks because he had a new kid on the way, said he needed some time off, they fired him instead, which was super shitty. From that point on the site has been jerked around in multiple directions. A week ago it looked like the site was dead on the same day Polygon was sold and essentially died. Then as of yesterday, the main guys remaining at Giant Bomb purchased the site back from Fandom and it's back to being fully independent again. Why does that matter? When so many gaming sites are dying, the good ones anyway, it started looking incredibly dark when Giant Bomb and Polygon both looked like they were done. Giant Bomb staying alive is a faint glimmer of hope for people that want to report on games, not do reviews of games and do longer videos instead to show you what you're in store for, a podcast that doesn't pull any punches when it comes to talking about the shittier aspects of the gaming industry and what everyone is playing from bigger games to independent games, etc. It's an awesome site that has never not had excellent people working there and with how bleak gaming looked over the last week or two, this makes me feel really fucking good.

I hate everything about this Cena turn. Like everything lately, started hot and not it's a wet fart. The booking in these matches is beyond fucking dumb. Tonight was even worse with every top official coming out AFTER Cena destroys the ref with a belt shot. How the fuck is that not a DQ? This shit is dumb.

Same here. Like, Casian Andor? Really? Why do we need a series just for him. And ultimately the series is more about what happens between Palpatine declaring himself emperor. Casian doesn't even need to be there, but it doesn't hurt that he's there.

Holy shit. They did it. Those crazy bastards did. Giant Bomb lives and Jeff Bakalar, Jeff Grubb, and Dan Rykert bought it. Bless those beautiful idiots.

Yeah, those two, especially Ryder, have done the equivalent of getting fired from a good paying corporate job to starting a handyman business and making more than they made behind a desk and they get to set their own schedule. If I'm either guy, I'm NEVER going back to WWE unless it's for a lot of fucking money that I would just bank into a retirement fund and only for a year.

I thought the same thing! I just figured he was hurt or something. And speaking of dope as fuck tag teams that get ZERO airtime, Silver and Reynolds are criminally under used. They're both charming as hell, their comeback/heat spot is awesome, and they work their asses off. WTF! He hasn't wrestled once this year! Is he fucking dead?

I mean in my lifetime and beyond, but I see what you mean. As for passing yards, as much as I borderline hated him this past season, I kinda hoped the Bears or Colts would have taken Riley Leonard late and then the Colts did, which was good because they need the QB work more than the Bears do funnily enough. I can't believe I'm saying something nice about Leonard, but I think his aww gee shucks golly gosh darn mormon-esque dumb as a Golden Retriever mentality may lend itself well to the NFL and a program that can mold him into a better passer. His progressions and accuracy (come on man, you threw the football at your TE's feet when he was maybe 10 yards away and wide open) were atrocious, but every game he'd do some things that looked exceptional, so there's a good QB in him somewhere, probably a good system QB.

Shit. Chicago will have a second pope before the Bears have a HoF QB.

Holy shit. Those last two episodes man...Fuck, this is the best Star Wars has ever been and kinda what I've been dying to see for so long. Mando is really fun and all and it does pull back the curtain on the ineptitudes of the New Republic which I also wanted to see, but Andor is like watching a documentary about how it really all came crashing down. And of course, everything comes crashing down because fucking bootlickers who know in their brains and in their hearts what is the right thing to do don't do it and choose to stick with a regime and a leader that they should know would dispose of them at any given second. Huh, weird, now where have I seen that before.

Going back to something above, I never saw Butch Reed outside of WEF or WCW. Are you telling me he was an even better wrestler?

The real question is Pequods or Lou Malnatis. (The answer is Pequods)

Dipped with hot peppers? Call it the baptism.
