  1. Time to muddy the streaming waters. Again. ESPN, Fox, and WBD announced a joint streaming venture today for all of their sports broadcasts across all of their channels. No word yet on if that will include AEW.
  2. My hypothesis is that Dave is a lot like one of my close friends where his bit was to always be extremely literal as a goof. That was back in high school. We’re both 43 now. He’s done it for so long that now that’s just how he is. It’s like a bad habit he can’t break and we just go along with it.
  3. The Switch Pro controller is…alright. At the very least it’s their best normal controller ever simply because it just copies the other two companies. Even still, the d pad stinks and the buttons are too squishy, but I’ll take that any day over using Joycons. My daughter likes the Joycons if they’re in the little handle for them, but even she is using the Pro controller more and more.
  4. Meltzer first said it happened on Seinfeld 100 years ago, but because he is nearly Drax levels of not understanding or using sarcasm, he had to immediately correct himself by saying, “well, not 100 years ago, probably more like 10 or 15.” It’s too bad for Bryan that they’re on video now and can’t mute himself before banging his head against his desk. Oh Dave.
  5. There is part of me that feels like WWE co-opting a fan movement to make it artificial is pretty cynical. The other part of me says, fuck it, whatever delivers us Cody vs Roman at WM is fine as long as that happens and Roman vs Rock happens. But it looks like Cody vs Drew vs Seth? Or not because there was that Sami promo?
  6. Well, to be fair, Sega got out of the hardware business so it was publish their games elsewhere or die. And a lot of us near the end of the Dreamcast were saying the same when 3rd party support for the Dreamcast sucked. Hell, it wasn’t that long ago that it looked like Nintendo could have headed down the same path until the Switch changed everything.
  7. I don’t see stuff like Halo being multiplatform, but it’s still kind of bananas that Bethesda would be tied to only Xbox and PC. Timed exclusives seems more likely than anything.
  8. What? You need to stop taking such huge leaps in logic. Cody feuding with Brock for a part of last year has literally no bearing on anything happening right now. Also, why wouldn’t Cody beat Roman for the title?
  9. I still don't get why it's such a mountain of a problem to do Cody vs Roman on one night and Roman vs Rock on another night. It's two fucking nights of WM. So who the fuck is blocking this simplest of ideas and solutions? Rock? Roman? There's no reason to do a triple threat unless, of course, it's the only thing Roman and Rock would agree to. Roman doesn't strike me as someone with that big of an ego to not work both nights of WM and take an even bigger payday. Hell, I don't even see why the Rock would give a shit, unless of course the Rock is trying to weasel his way into winning the title. Or creative is really that braindead. This shit isn't hard to figure out.
  10. I seriously doubt anything happens to Nick Khan or Ari Emmanuel. Well, maybe Nick Khan, but Ari isn't going anywhere. I'd be willing to bet that whatever Vince did, Ari has done, seen, or knows of way, way, WAY fucking worse stuff and has paid people to clean up those messes. Of course, who knows if anyone speaks out against Ari.
  11. 4 days until Helldivers 2. I’m ready to do my part! SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP
  12. Also, Enshrouded still rules so hard. If they can make enough money to get their own servers for players to play on then that would be awesome.
  13. This is pretty close to being as big a shitshow as Curt Schilling’s foray into video games. Curt still takes the cake as biggest scumbag for essentially stealing a bunch of money from RI, talking shit about government handouts and welfare, stiffing employees on paychecks and overtime, then shuttering the studio without paying a ton of people their backpay and keeping the money RI gave him.
  14. Aside from the first episode, I hit skip intro for everything. When my wife or daughter have the remote they just let it play and it drives me nuts. Even for shows with really long intros like For All Mankind.
  15. That is an impressive level of projecting you have going on. Why is it so hard for you to accept the reality of the situation? You’ve made about every excuse possible, but this is maybe the lamest.
  16. The Punk Card (hehehehe) being in their back pocket is one they can play if they do indeed decide to pivot and they could do it as early as Monday. Cody comes out, does his “so…what do you want to talk about?” thing, gets into how the Rock convinced him to let Rock go after Roman and even though it didn’t sit well with him he didn’t want to deprive the people of that match. Seth comes and says something and then Punk comes out. Tells Cody this isn’t happening again, rehashes his history and says even though he’s cool with the Rock now that Cody needs to finish this story at WM like he intended and the difference here is that over 10 years ago there wasn’t much Punk could do about it but now…WM is two nights. Then seal it with if Cody is more of me than me then you need to take what’s yours and finish your damn story. Hell, you can even delay Cody’s answer to his only other booked SmackDown appearance this month where he says the Rock is right…but CM Punk is right too, so I’m sorry Seth, I need to do this and I need Roman at WM. Crowd explodes and chaotic tv ensues all the way up until WM. That all plays very, very heavily off of HHH booking these shows as serialized TV with giving you a taste so you come back the next week followed by an even bigger taste followed by the whole slice. It’s the best way to play this all out and keep things interesting until WM or at least recapture the entire feel of the Sami/KO/Jimmy/Bloodline saga again.
  17. I think if that were the plan then they wouldn’t have had Cody specifically say he’s not going to face Roman at WM.
  18. This is hilarious. WWE gets ratioed on every tweet about the Rock.
  19. CJ had an infection that turned into MRSA where she nearly lost her finger or worse. Miro has been at home with her while she heals up.
  20. I don’t think it’s a work. This feels like WM 30 all over again. The people want DB/Cody? Ok, let’s give them Batista vs Orton/Roman vs Rock. And for the people that think this is a different time and what happened 10 years ago won’t happen again because those fans are gone, well, they’re not gone. They’re still part of the audience. And now you even have Rock trying to promote this shitshow on Twitter and getting ratio’d at one point. They fucked up. If they wanted to pull this off with no time left on the clock for fans to hijack it, then they should have done this closer to WM.
  21. I sometimes forget it's just constantly dark out so when they were at the school a couple episodes ago, I was a little confused why high school was going on at night. And then I realized I'm dumb. I'm slightly surprised by the low audience score. I may have really loved that first season, but this season has been creepy as fuck in all the right ways and the mystery stuff has been rock solid. Part of me wonders if it has to do with the female centric cast.
  22. It’s my fault. I let SD get me so riled up that I went looking for other people’s takes on this on Reddit and, ugh, Twitter, and then almost immediately regretted it. I then logged out of my Twitter account which I probably haven’t logged into for over a year. Done stare into the abyss, kids.
