Remember last month when I asked for help putting together a compilation about folklore? Well imagine I posted the once again bernie meme.
The compilation I'm putting together right now is on Married Couples. Not literally married couples, but the ideas of matchups that have wrestled each other so many times that they're capable of tighter and more intense matches than irregular opponents. I need help coming up with some more examples of this. Here's what I have now
- Rey Mysterio & Psicosis
- Tajiri & Super Crazy
- Hijo Del Santo & Negro Casas
- Ric Flair & Ricky Steamboat
- Eddie Guerrero & Chris Benoit
- Finlay & Regal
- Rock & Roll Express & The Midnight Express
- The Four Pillars of AJPW
Anyone else come to mind? Double points for joshi because I have a big blindspot there I'm trying to fill in.

lol yeah that came off way more like "NO BODY LOVES ME T__T" than I intended. I've got a good & strong support network, it's just bitter to learn about that so far after the fact because of who his circle became. Nothing to be done, I suppose. Kind of you to say that, though.

One of my best friends from high school passed away.
In February.
No one told me because the only person in his life that still wanted me around was him.
I'm gonna be in shock for quite a while, I suspect.

Quick procedural question: Netflix originals are in, right?

Similarly, as someone who loathed the first game and is only playing the second on account of a labyrinthine dare process, seeing the spoilers for the laster of us make me extremely excited. That's probably not great news for people who liked the first one.

Alright, this is inspired by the bombcast and then by me changing one of the answers and bringing it to my friends, only to discover I'm the only person I know to feel this way.
Fuck Marry Kill:
- Procedural Generation (roguelikes, minecrafts, dwarf fortress)
- "The Meta" (includes Team Comp for team multiplayer stuff, tier lists for fighting games)
- Deck-building (MTG, Slay the Spire, etc)

Mokujin Ken (although Tobita will probably cover him)
That is exactly the Tobita match I have picked out

So here's a completely unrelated question: I've been putting together like Wrasslin Mixtapes for friends, one per two weeks, and I've been working with themes. I have a good theme now but I'm trying to see if there's people I'm missing.
The theme is Folklore Characters, which is to say wrestlers that have more of a specific mystique and niche in wrestling history outside of the norm. The names I came up with are:
Cassandro
Ox Baker
Necro Butcher
Survival Tobita
Gypsy Joe
Mike Quackenbush*
Great Sasuke
Mecha Mummy
Bull Curry
Tom MageeAnyone else come to mind?
*to explain my reasoning: quack's weird quasi-self-taught parallel universe WOS/lucha is, i think, kind of the apex of what someone can achieve with raw wrestling nerddom and tape study, highlighted by him being able to parlay that into actually great matches with legends in those styles
-
with all due respect, is there a reason there wasn't a team of Greats? Great Sasuke, Great Antonio, Great Muta, etc

I have a list of like 35 films I'm intending to watch over the next two months, which is maybe more movies than I've seen in one year in my life, but so it goes. Here are some brief reviews of the stuff I've seen so far:
The Rover: off a friend's recommendation. Enjoyed it well enough. Robert Pattinson is fantastic in it, and it also is one of the few post-apocalyptic movies that didn't bore me.Dredd: I hate cops. Yet, this is about as good as an American-made action movie about a hero cop can probably be. LOVED the Slo-Mo scenes. Thought it lost steam halfway through, p. much after the chaingun bit.
Jonah Hex: I dont know that I recommend that anyone watches this? But man I laughed fucking hard multiple times during this. I love multi-million dollar hubris that fails, and buddy this had it.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: I don't know what I expected but I thought it was pretty good. It's really hard for me to enjoy comedies (my sense of humor is much more partial to, say, Wonder Showzen than Judd Apatow) but this one worked for me.
ok now i have to stop running from finishing The Act of Killing because it's making my head spin once per ten minutes
-
quick procedural question since this'll be the first one of these I submit a ballot to: are short films allowed?

it's almost like suda has more bad games than good ones and the two everyone loves are like accidents or miracles compared to the standard fare
it's almost exactly like that

Hyper Light Drifter on Switch is incredible and has extra dungeons. It is also my game of the decade. If you like Zelda and synthesizers and mystery, Hyper Light Drifter is fantastic.

sequel to the story mode he wrote for whichever SNES game he did. Super 3? anyways at the end of that the main character has Bad End and in this one you'll be his son

As if there was any doubt. Yeah, the mascot - at a public meet & greet - ran across the room and punched a 13 year-old kid and there's no witnesses and no video? Yeah, seems legit.
honestly, I preferred imagining that yeah, he did do that, but the kid was being such a shit that everyone simultaneously decided "that's cool" and no one rolled over.

Kentucky Route Zero Spoilers:
today I learned there are three small exchanges in the course of the game where, if you miss them, you do not have access to the epilogue. I learned them because a friend of mine told me about an epilogue in the game and I said "yeah act 5 I know" and he said "no it seems to involve carrington" and I was like "what is a carrington." So, uh, if you don't have access to the epilogue, go back to Act 1 and when you get out of the mines, go back to Equus Oil.
