Also, the PS 4 Slim will NOT play UHD blu rays, will NOT have a 2TB hard drive, and will NOT have 4k output. So, excuse me while I go buy a XBOX One S.

I can't believe they didn't announce a sequel to Red Dead Redemption. I can only imagine some crazed fan breaking into the Rockstar Games HQ and holding the staff at gunpoint, demanding to play the alpha and going crazy when Dan Houser reveals they haven't done any work at all on a sequel. Also, no news of a new singler-player DLC campaign for Grand Theft Auto 5, no news on Bully 2. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

The Eagles tight end corp. all have names that sound like WWF jobbers circa 1988: *DING DING DING* Mel Phillips: The following contest is a 3-against-1 handicap match, it is set for one fall. Currently in the ring, at a combined weight of 780 pounds, the team of Brent Celek, Zach Ertz, and Trey Burton! Mel Phillips: Their opponent, to be led to the ring by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, from Grenoble, in the French Alps....

Mods, please delete the above thread, I hate the quote system on this board. Ahem, anyways, this has easily been the weakest year of "Why Your Team Sucks" articles on Drew Magary's part. The fan letters have been hilarious, but next year Drew needs to either farm out the actual columns to professional comedy writers, or just stick to the fan letter part with no input from himself.

I finally saw the "Honest Trailer" for Starcraft 2 and when they showed the clips from the Starcraft World Championships, and all the young, Asian contestants, I really, really, really wish that tournament had been won by some slovenly, morbidly obese American basement dwellers in their late 40's who no one had heard of in the gaming community and had started out playing table top wargames in the 1980s and they had literally come out of nowhere to win this "staged for TV" tournament and during their victory speech they dedicated their win to Larry Bond and started listing all these strategy games from the 1980s that none of the kids in the audience had ever heard of: "Well Bob here started out playing 'Silent Service' on an Apple IIe, and we met when he came to my computer shop to buy a copy of 'Red Storm Rising' and I told him that he needed to play 'Zulu' which wasn't available in stores, you had to order it out of an ad in 'Computer Gaming World,' and it took six weeks to get to you, but it was awesome because you had this hexagonal map and it was 5,000 Zulu warriors versus 160 British commandos in the 1800s..." [Camera cuts to horrified teen gamers in the audience, realizing that this is what they will become in 20 years if they don't do good in school and have a decent career.]

Having a voice that sounds like you gargled with sulfuric acid pretty much disqualifies you from NXT, I would think.

If they wanted to do like Heyman used to do in ECW and bring back guys just to be buried one last time, I'd be fine with Truth coming out to cut a promo about how the House of Truth will rise again but then the Young Bucks come out, cut a promo about his irritating, scratchy voice and then nail him with the Meltzer Driver and he leaves on a stretcher for good. Seeing as how this is the 15th Anniversary year for ROH, maybe they could have The Carnage Crew be the ones to beat the living hell out of Truth.

Am I the only one who thinks that Carson Wentz will turn out to be a "made of glass" frequently injured QB like Sam Bradford? I mean, I know it was only one broken rib during his first pre-season game, but I fully expect Wentz to go out on a stretcher from a seemingly innocious hit against the Browns on Sunday.

Those "WWE SuperCard SummerSlam Update pack" commercials with Seth Rollins on YouTube are REALLY fucking irritating.

I really hope on this third season of You're The Worst that Justin Kirk and Tara Summers are brought back as recurring characters, reprising their "older, hipster douchebag married couple" characters from 'LCD Soundsystem.' It'd be fun to have them show up in every other episode as background characters who get unwittingly dragged into the Jimmy/Gretchen/Lindsay/Edgar/Dorothy/Sam's insanity and slowly have their lives destoryed throughout the season.

Everything I've heard is that even if Bridgewater recovers, no one knows if he'll be anywhere close to the same player he was before the injury, so wouldn't it more sense to tank this season, get the number one overall draft pick, and then go to the playoffs next year with Deshaun Watson as your starting QB?

This has to mark the beginning of serious "Fire Bob Stoops" talk, right? It's been 17 years since his last National Title and he just lost to Houston. I know the administration will want to keep him, but I can see the wealthy alumni starting to apply pressure to replace him.

Um, those were actually the second ROH tag titles. The first ones, won by Donovan Morgan and Christopher Daniels, were really cheap looking knockoffs of the IC title belt.

Rest in peace to the last surviving member of The Weavers: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/03/us/obituary-weavers-fred-hellerman/index.html

Okay, none of this "it got pretty dusty in the room" nonsense. This thread is for scenes in films/tv shows/plays that make you just burst into tears whenever you watch them. Everybody remembers "Did You See The Sunrise" where Magnum kills the KGB assassin in cold blood, but this is from the 1985 episode "Going Home", when Magnum returns home to Virginia for his grandfather's funeral and is forced to reconcile with his stepfather and the memory of his (previously unmentioned) younger half-brother Joey, who hero worshipped Magnum, followed him to Vietnam, and died there. Selleck got a Golden Globe for this episode, but he had just won the Emmy the year before so he was passed over in 1985. And yes, that's the recently departed David Huddleston as the stepfather.

And speaking of "throwback" managers, why haven't we gotten any vignettes with Kevin Sullivan drugging and brainwashing B.J. Whitmer yet?

Not gonna miss Martini. I always thought his act was pretty bush league, even for a glorified super indy like ROH. Martini managing the ROH Champ was, to me, the equivalent of if Slick had showed up in mid-1990s All Japan and become Misawa's manager. Or if the Four Horsemen had fired J.J. Dillon and replaced him with No. 1 Paul Jones. Probably the best equivalent was when Pedicino was actually pushing "The Expert" Bruce Prichard as the lead heel manager in GWF.

Anyone know what's up with Dave Millican? I've sent him three emails asking for a quote on a copy of the Jim Crockett version of the World TV Title belt but haven't gotten a response.

I don't really follow gaming news that much, I don't watch the E3 coverage or anything, so the first I had heard about this game was at the end of July when I walked into a Fred Meyer and on the TV displays in the electronics section showed a five minute trailer and I watched as you were on a planet, scanned some flora, then hopped into the ship, used the map to go to another star system, warped in, landed, and scanned some aliens... ...and the whole thing looked boring as fuck. Not only that, but I was turned off by the cartoonish artwork. It looked like the makers of Firewatch had designed a sci-fi game. If I wanted to play a space exploration game, I could just download Wing Commander: Privateer off of Gog.com If anything, No Man's Sky should serve as a valuable lesson to both developers, in terms of controlling the PR message and not over-promising on features or over-hyping, and to fans who basically in forums over-hyped the game themselves with all the assumptions they were making. When the awful X-Men: Destiny game was announced, a couple of gamers started a thread for it on the official Marvel Comics message board, and they e-mailed invites to the developers to come on the forum and hype the game. Quickly, users started posting questions and started making wild assumptions for the game ("Can we explore the Xavier Mansion?" "Can we kill Cyclops and make Emma team leader?") and then after about 20 pages of questions and self-hype, the users finally noticed that none of the developers were coming on to answer questions, or had in fact even responded to the e-mail invites. And, of course, we remember how awful the game was. Sean Murray and his staff have learned a valuable lesson here (assuming that No Man's Sky doesn't result in Hello Games going out of business, it very could). Keep things close to the vest, don't start the hype train until the game is pretty stable and less than a year away from Gold Status, and most importantly, make sure the game is bug-free and has most of the features you promised at launch.

Mods, please delete this post due to Curt's use of sexist, mysoginistic language.

I'm really surprised elsalvajeloco hasn't come into this thread to rip this commercial. These are clearly two black people who have "sold out" and "abandoned their cultural heritage" (trademark Angela Davis) and have embraced white yuppie hipsterdom. Look at the woman: while to her credit she doesn't have any product in her hair, she isn't wearing it "natural style" (read: afro) and instead has it in a white, European style combover and ponytail. Plus, she's wearing yoga pants and earbuds rather than Beats by Dre. Clearly, when their fellow New York blacks were marching in protest of the choking death of Eric Garner, these two were sitting in a Starbucks in Brooklyn, working on their iPhones. In fact, when the news of the protests started on New York One, the wife probably asked the barrista to turn down the volume on the TV in the Starbucks so she could hear the Jimmy Fallon monologue from last night on her tablet. So I'm assuming elsalvajeloco doesn't have TV, because otherwise he should be in here threatening to beat these two actors up if they ever come to his neighborhood in Mississippi.

Hey guys, I've been scrolling through the pages in this sub-forum, trying to find the memorial thread for Elie Wiesel because I wanted to share my thoughts on how Night really moved me when I read it in college, but I can't seem to find a memorial thread anywhere. You guys did do a memorial thread for Elie Wiesel back when he died on July 2nd, right?

The irony of Augie writing that is hilarious, given he now survives primarily through doing freelance softball interviews for Newsarama where Tom Brevoort and Axel Alonso spend most of the time hyping Marvel's new projects while Augie avoids asking any deep or serious questions.
