J.T.

I think that technically Barricade (2012) was the first one not to have a WWE wrestler in it. I don't count The Day (2011) because it was co distributed with Anchor Bay. Barricade is currently on light rotation on the Showtime family of networks.

Melraz, Rippa and I won a Capture where the team that steals the most buses from a depot and gets them back to their base wins. That was the most fun I've had in a while in GTA Online. I don't particularly care for the Capture scenarios where there is more than one team. The advantage in multi-team Capture missions usually goes to the guy working solo.since the tiebreaker criteria is K/D. I agree. I'd rather do missions and jobs to make cash because I'm online cutting up with you rubes. Earning GTA bucks while doing it is the bonus.

I agree somewhat, but some of those bugs are game killing and need to be fixed. I especially hate the garage / live weapon glitch after having survived two attempts on my life. Car duping really doesn't bother me because it's not like GTA Online is an MMO where the devs actively regulate the player economy anyway. I just assume that even the lowest rank droog probably has a Rhino and a Buzzard at his disposal because of cash glitching. There are come Capture scenarios I like and others that can eat a bag of dicks. I have yet to play in a session with more than ten people, so any Capture scenario with more than two teams is counterproductive.

You need to invite me to these deathmatches with the no-skill having bullet monkeys you normally play with, Rob. I need low hanging fruit to help boost my kill count. I never get random invites to DM's when I am in free mode and no one ever seems to show up in the DM lobbies that I host. I just find random firefights in the city and shoot people like everyone else does.

Ten Nights of the Beast and The Black Mirror are great. I like City of Owls and Court of Owls. Paul Dini is my favorite Batman storyteller not named Jeph Loeb so get your hands on Mad Love, Batman: Private Casebook, Hush Money, and Batman: Detective.. I have a soft spot for R'as Al Ghul, so I will always reccommend Tales of the Demon, Birth of The Demon, and Son of the Demon. Though technically not a Batman only storyline, JLA Tower Of Babel is fucking sweet.

I got a miracle headshot on Rippa during the first DM. He repaid me in triplicate the second time around. I think I am two headshots away from the Gold medal. No idea how many I have to get for the skull tat and the Platinum medal. Getting past you in that race was just good timing, the downward slope of the ramp, and my own acceleration. If you had spun out on an incline, I wouldn't have had the speed to get past you. Truth be told, I almost mantled the curb and would've ended up in the ocean if I hadn't broke hard and fishtailed myself back onto the path.

Herby was not bullshitting. Looks like this is the change log for 1.12 and it looks like it is going live today: Lots of good fixes this time around. Happy to see the live weapons in garages / apartments glitch fixed but the days of multiple Armored Cars in one session seem to be done. Team Balancing on by defaul in Capture is a decent idea, but I think that crew affiliation / friend affiliation should be priority when setting up teams if there are randoms pubs in the mix. I've only played in a few Capture matches, but they've never ended in draws even when teams have had the same number of packagets. I always thought that the crew with the highest K/D won even if both teams were tied? The whisky drinking / attacked by clone bug sounds awesome! Too bad it is fixed.

Robert nearly decapitated me with his dune buggy during the second off-road race. His car was spinning in mid-air just as I made my move. The sedan race on the docks was bogus. I got PITed by everybody on purpose and by accident. Thank God that the ammo bug did not show up during the forced weapon deathmatches. I had over 300 rounds of Heavy Sniper ammo.

Ha! I said that about the Batarians to get a dig in on Fresh since he's a lousy Hegemony sympathizer and he knows that Tali hate angers Rippa.. Hey, what do you call a Vorcha with two brain cells? PREGNANT~!

Doesn't really matter. Fun was had by all, there was a little smack talking, and open ridicule of Odessa's driving and lack of appreciation for the bullet stopping power of concrete barriers. Good times!

First climactic post WM show in a while. Booking was so solid it was unbelievable. I turned pernanently from the NCAA Championship to RAW with five minutes to go in the half.

Moongirl messaged me today and told me she unlocked the Survival achievement a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully she and Fresh will start playing again if heists ever becomes reality.

And when you do Arrival, do not even bother to warn the Batarian colony. They don't deserve to live anyway.

It may have something to do with odds and your win / loss record as well as K/D. I have an overall K/D of 1.42, but I have a lot of second and third place finishes in deathmatches. I agree that the team build mechanics needs to change. There's no reason for the teams remaining static the entire session.

Well, for one thing, we stuck together and were able to cover each other. Most of my kills in the first match came from guys shooting at Robert. Rippa, Dolfan, and DevilSaint used our tactics from the first match. They were never too far away from each other in the second deathmatch and split the map in half on us. Rippa nailed me three times while I was moving in on Dolfan. I had to get better cover because they found SMG's and shotguns almost immediately and armor wasn't a factor because they had the high ground and were scoring headshots at will. You and Robert were making a comeback when you had the high ground and had them pinned into that bottlenecked alleyway, but I wasn't able to contribute because I had no shots from my position. By the time I had a target, Dolfan found my sniper's nest. I got the Gold Medal for Killstreaks in the first match, but I wish I had been able to convert some sniper shots in the second match or at least get a revenge kill before getting smoked. I captured a $2000 bounty this morning before going to work. I countersniped a Rank 100 guy sniping from one of the cranes in that construction site near Simeon's dealership. I only need to collect four more and I get the Platinum medal and the tattoo.

My best K/D ratio in a deathmatch around 10 or so. Some maps I do well on and some I don't. My deathmatch play is remarkably inconsistant.

You ain't lyin'. Those two deathmatches definitely represented the best and worst of my gameplay. You guys seemed to find the better weapons in a hurry in the second match and by the time I got a sniper rifle and found a good spot to set up shop, all of the fighting was on the other side of the map..... no targets to be found until DevilSaint took cover near my position and had no idea I was right above him.... ....and then Dolfan shotgunned me at close range while I was zeroing in on DevilSaint's head. Game over... I can take comfort in knowing that I still know how to handle a dirt bike. I haven't seen any news yet on the 1.12 patch. Herby might be in a test pool. Five grand for three minutes of delayed pursuit? That's an eternity in GTA time and could be game breaking, but it is a good money sink. I would think that the trade off would be getting reduced RP for surviving the Wanted Level. If they don't fix the garage & apartment related live weapons glitches with 1.12, I will be annoyed.

You need to send me some invites to matches where we are up against witless idiots on the other team. I could use the kills. I have my share of matches when I am a total assassin and others where I am bullet fodder, but for the most part I give as good as I get. After two or three deaths in a row, I would definitely just find a defensible position instead of just running around waiting to get shot.

Just one and Boneyard is the easiest map to get the achievement / platinum medal for Surviving 10 Waves. I dragged Fresh and Mark kicking and screaming to victory huddling in fear behind the white trailer while hillbillies in helicopters tried to kill us.

I haven't fired a shot in anger in GTA Online in over a week. I am not looking forward to being rusty when Rob is in the deathmatch lobby with me. I send a PM to Moongirl every so often. She logged on long enough to get some of the t-shirts from the Valentine's Day update, but her clan has been pretty busy in all of the CoD games lately. I think she still plays GTA Online long enough to keep her racing skills sharp but she's a bit out of practice. If you ever wanted the bragging rights of beating her in a motorcycle race, now's the time. She still wants to make it through all ten waves of Survival for the achievement so if someone can help her with that and run through the Boneyard / White Trailer scenario if I am not around, I'd be grateful.

I was talking about new peeps in general, Curt. Sorry if it seemed like I singled you out. Starsky & Hutch has been this network on for two weeks now and no sign of the ultra corny yet awesome vampire episode with John Saxon. I am bummed. I don't think they've shown the two-parter of S&H in Vegas chasing down the serial killer yet, either.

It isn't a spider pose. It is actually something quite clever and far more sinister. He is mimicking the epileptic-esque body contortion symptoms witnessed in people who allegedly suffered from demonic possession. The first time I saw Bray do that in a match I was like, "Ohhhh, shit...."

I would tend to agree given the All Men Must Die slogan for the season, but the timeline is currently only partially through A Storm of Swords. Jon doesn't get stabbed until A Dance With Dragons and there is all of the A Feast Of Crows material to contend with.

Let's blame OSJ. Problem solved. Do not blame John when the fault is clearly mine. My girlfriend is trying to sell her house and the home inspection, shall we say, was very enlightening... in a not so good way. As soon as her cash crisis du jour period ends, I can stop being a financially tested asshole and make arrangements with these folks I know at NYPL and get OSJ a scan of Yellow-Jacket. I am sure he will be in better spirits when the manuscript finally arrives.

Get well, punk and good vibes to Hooks and Red.
