There's some buzz going around about a potential Fallout 4 being announced in early December. http://thesurvivor2299.com/ Right now, the site is just a date and some morse code with the Fallout font and the Vault-Tec logo. Someone did a breakdown of an audio file that was apparently pulled from the domain, too. It has another Ink Spots song (To Each His Own), like the other Fallout games have had (Maybe and I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire) among some crashing waves and the sound of a gun being loaded. At this point, nobody's sure whether or not it's legit or if it's a hoax. Hopefully it's real. . .the Fallout series is probably #2 on my list of favorite video game series of this generation (behind Mass Effect). Maybe Bethesda will even hire some testers to find most of the bugs before the game comes out this time around.

All of the "Big 4" sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) - Minnesota everything. Because North Dakota doesn't have any big league sports teams, and Minnesota is closest. Stopped giving a crap about the NHL when the North Stars moved (and Norm Green still sucks, if you were curious), started again when the Wild were established. Kind of liked the Celtics before the Timberwolves came along, but that might have stemmed from being more of a fan of Larry Bird than anything. College football. . .never had a huge rooting interest, largely for the same reasons as detailed above (though NDSU has been a great D-II/FCS program for most of the time I've been a sports fan), but writing about the Gophers for a stretch has kind of pushed me in that direction. I do more or less follow the Big Ten as a whole, though.

So IGN gave the PS4 and XBox One versions of Madden a bit of a middling review, apparently because it's too realistic. I'm not sure why this would be a problem. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/15/madden-nfl-25-xbox-one-and-playstation-4-review

Had a PS4 on pre-order, but wound up canceling. With the release date and the shipping and stuff, it would have gotten to me here in Korea in just about enough time for me to hand it to the movers and say, "Here, pack this with the rest of my stuff." Had ordered Madden with it, too. . .think I read that they weren't allowing reviews of Madden until after the official console release.

It would be awesome of Cesaro were to get Hornswoggle in the swing and then just launch him over the top rope. Not sure how possible it would be to do, but it would make for a great visual.

He obviously stole her autograph book and tore it in half.

I would totally pay for this. Also, a 30 for 30 on the story behind "Iron" Mike Sharpe's arm injury. Do it Spinal Tap-style or something.

I will point out that CRZ. . .yeah, that CRZ. . .is one of the candidates on the ballot for Mayor of Minneapolis. I haven't seen anything resembling returns yet, but it's still kind of cool.

A full-on Heyman retrospective would be cool. I know a lot of it has been done in the ECW documentaries, but they could get into some of the early NWA stuff (like when he managed the "Original" Midnight Express of Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose), and the entire Dangerous Alliance run.

SMARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT. . .MARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKS! Pillman was so great.

The Wolves are going to be a lot of fun to watch until the inevitable Kevin Love and/or Ricky Rubio injury. It would be nice for them to get back to the post-season, though. . .been a long dry spell.

Was looking for Cattle Mutilation to use for a CAW I wanted to do. Is it in there anywhere? Maybe I missed it.

36 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0493161/ And yeah, she looks basically the same. Uncanny. While never improving as an actor. She was never even the best teen cast member on New Class. Also I'm not saying the day College Years was cancelled is the worst day of my life. But I guess I am. To re-visit this.

You realize how high you're setting the bar there, right?

CAW.ws is still around. The only downside to this year is BrienJ has said he won't be doing a texture editor for this game which will definitely affect the quality of certain CAWs being made. Cool. . .found them after looking around yesterday but, not surprisingly, they don't have a whole lot yet. Do you have to add people to your PlayStation friends or XBox friends (I'm on PS3) to be able to download stuff

I haven't bought one of these games since it was still called Smackdown vs Raw. Are there some sites out there that are better than others when it comes to CAWs, move creation, and that sort of thing?

Since I went ahead and (unfortunately) canceled my PS4 pre-order, I'm going to do another run through the trilogy. Downloaded ME1 (since it's on PS3 now. . .first time I did it was on my 360 that died), ME2 and all the DLC, and all the DLC for ME3 except for Omega, which I'll probably pick up at some point before I finish the first two games. Going to be interesting. . .not even sure what class to be at this point. My favorite is probably the Soldier, but I should probably branch out into some of the other classes.

With that much vitriol? Clearly. You are too easy of a target. Ah, the excuse of the pre-tween bully. And after you do it, do you get a rush? Feel more manly? He's pretty useless. Always has been. If you ever need a place to stay, though, I've got a rent-free spot in his head you can shack up in.
