  1. I rewatched Raw this morning on Hulu because my feed was going out last night and man, they chopped the hell out of Raw to the point where it felt like 5 segments. Nothing with Charlotte/Becky for example. I also missed the Ambrose/Sheamus match last night, but that aired in full on the Hulu version and it went so long. It should have been clipped or something. They eventually wound up re-doing spots that they did at the beginning of the match. It was such a chore to watch, which is why I made my Ambrose comment earlier.
  2. Superbad is awesome. Everyone gives an A+ effort and the funk soundtrack is great.
  3. Oh, is it that time of year again?
  4. Just a heads up for folks, but a friend of mine in the industry said to keep my eyes open for Gang Beasts rolling out on PS4 following the same release path as Rocket League, making it free for the first couple weeks. Sounds like it's happening really soon.
  5. Right. After the Empire fell, the New Republic made Chandrila their home base. Then they decided to rotate the planet where leadership resided based on elections, which is why leadership was located on Hosnian Prime.
  6. BTW, has anyone regressed more than Ambrose? Ever since the Shield broke up, he's steadily become worse in the ring. Everything he does looks so lazy and sloppy now. Someone else pointed out how slow he's rebound clothesline was too. It's not just that, but everything he does is slow.
  7. You have pulled this shit with me too and it's tiresome. What does it matter what stro thought of it and why does it prompt you to get so aggressive? Just knock it off. Damn. More than that, instead of talking about the show, you're just using this as am opportunity to take on yet another forum poster. I'm in piranesi's camp though. That is what I want. I want Brock and KO taking stupid bumps and beating the shit out of each other. And Kalisto vs. ADR was the most I've cared about either guy. Kalisto made himself a thing tonight. Good for him.
  8. Anywhere but Indy or Chicago.
  9. People are too good at digging up data. Doesn't Powerball know the exact location and time the winning ticket was purchased? So unless you traveled way out of state, people are going to find out sooner or later.
  10. I wanted to say that, but then I thought about how he just loses his shit in front of Troutman. He goes from the biggest badass in the world to a total husk of a person so fast and it's so believable. I love his performance in Rocky Balboa too, especially his "don't forget to visit your mom" speech he gives his son. That cuts deep.
  11. Pretty much this. The one criticism many people had was, "how could this just all happen again?" Well, we live in a world where that's happened time and time again. World War 1 and 2 specifically. And so now, neglecting what a problem the First Order could grow to be has lead to this point where the Republic is dead (unless some facet of leadership exists on Chandrila), Han is dead, the Resistance didn't have many X-Wings to begin with and only 3 or 4 made it away from Starkiller Base in tact, Finn is in a coma, Maz's place is in ruins and the artifacts there are presumably destroyed, Maz's status is unknown, and Kylo Ren is going to become even more powerful. Red Letter Media pointed out how this was really elements of Star Wars and Empire combined because it has a really downer ending that's overlooked. I wonder what the immediate reception was to the Empire Strikes Back and if it took time for people to see what a downer ending it had.
  12. Which is funny, since he adopted. Oh, you meant his fake children...
  13. This is going to sound totally crazy, but wouldn't DDP deserve that kind of award? Rehabilitating hardcore addicts and being successful at it, with whatever bumps in the road may occur, takes some kind of drive and...positivity...that is pretty incredible. The problem with that is that by presenting the award to Steve Michalek, there is this standard where giving it to someone like DDP, who people see as DDP, and not as someone who really, truly cares about people, could be seen as a step backwards.
  14. I tend to agree with what I read elsewhere about how the First Order could afford a new doomsday weapon. After the Empire fell, there were likely very many royalists and other neocons in the Galaxy to fund anything to bring down the Republic/Galactic Senate. I know the Republic leadership rotates from planet to planet, so it's possible there were government officials scattered around the galaxy, but none who would be good enough to have a seat at the table. So either those remaining (races within local governments on whatever swamp planet or junker haven they come from) fill the void, or the First Order does. Then again, a silver lining is that the Republic completely buried their heads in the sand, wanted to pretend that the First Order wasn't any kind of threat, they de-militarized and secretly funded the Resistance to handle defense duties, so maybe decapitating the leadership on Hosnian Prime wasn't THAT bad. Although, I wonder where Leia receives her funding from if the Republic is dead.
  15. So, I'm not going to tell you not to be afraid to fly, since fear isn't necessarily subject to the rational mind, but I'm trying to tactfully explain how none of that (other than that last bit about hiring a pilot-slash-Craig-whisperer) is remotely realistic. I know I'm sure I'll fly again and it will again be with the assistance of a lot of Xanax... Which if I win the lottery, I could actually afford since we have a really crappy, new prescription plan that barely pays anything.
  16. So who wins the Ultimate Warrior award?
  17. IT'S THE BEST! Not counting the Jack Box Party Pack, it's been a long time since a game made me laugh that hard. I couldn't care less about the main storyline because you come across quests like that where the writing is so good. Someone can spoiler it, but do you get to ever chill with Ironsides again?
  18. And yeah, all of First Blood is incredible and I think is Stallone's best performance. Especially the ending, where he just loses it and because a blubbering mess recanting the story of his friend who just had his legs blown off. While I like First Blood Part 2, only like the "Fuck em" part from Rambo 3, and kinda like Rambo, it's a shame to see the direction the series went in. It feels so detached from First Blood, like they should have been a separate series, but I suppose it would be too hard for audiences to not see the characters in each movie as the same.
  19. Do you mean the original First Blood ending?
  20. The names of the planets in the context of the movie are irrelevant, but serve as a launchpad to the satellite content surrounding the movie, if you're into that. What you needed to know was that the planet with the Republic leadership, along with four other planets, were destroyed, and the Republic is no more. All that's left is the Resistance. You also didn't need the "millions of voices" moment. The gravity and impact of actually seeing the faces of those on Hosnian Prime and the inescapable horror approaching them, combined with the look of horror of those outside of Maz's place, did as much to sell the death and destruction as Alec Guinness' line. It's one thing to see a planet destroyed from afar, as was the case in Star Wars (because really, fuck that "New Hope" name). It's something entirely different to see the people about to die and know there's nothing they can do to stop it. It's what made me think that shit was about to get for the Resistance, even though there was no f'n way they would kill all of them off. I found it to be one of the best sells of a doomsday weapon ever.
  21. Thinking bigger, I would pay off all of the debts for my family and friends. I would then purchase homes for all of my friends in some local neighborhood. Since student loan debt sucks, I would pay off the student loan debt for anyone I knew. Board members included, but there would need to be some kind of a post count or tenure type system to qualify. I would become a season ticket holder for the Chicago Cubs and then make sure other close friends of mine who are die hard Cubs fans became season ticket holders. Purchase some kind of a near foolproof system for preserving my life during flight so I never had to worry about flying again. Surely there must be some kind of system that uses parachutes or jet packs or something so that if a flight is going down, my loved ones and me won't die in that flight. And before anyone says, "but they already have that, they're called planes, and they already ensure you'll survive." That's not good enough for me. Maybe I could just have someone to fly me around and actually be able to have a voice or some form of control to tell the pilot to take the safest route possible or just land the plane if I started feeling nervous or scared. Yeah, I'm that afraid to fly, even though I've done it once before.
  22. Totally spamming this thread now. Finally discovered that Vault 81 had a somewhat satisfying conclusion. I found Ashes forever ago and finally decided to go bring that cat back to the girl in Vault 81. That opened up the last quest for that location. For such a large location, there still isn't much to do, but what you uncover is surprising and really sinister. It made me start to wonder...
  23. And if you're using the Furious Super Sledge, then that, plus Rooted plus the other perks to get you additional AP is straight up broken. You can go into VATS and totally avoid the issue of slow attack speed or enemies blocking your melee attacks. It's way too good though. So much so that I gave it to Strong. There's something so satisfying to approaching an area loaded with tough enemies, looking at your current companion and thinking, "we need more power," then fast traveling to where Strong is. There really needs to be a fast forward feature to just jump to the middle of crushing enemies with ruthless aggression.
