  1. I think chop blocks and clipping are the only normal O-Line penalties that are 15 yards. I mean anyone can commit a personal foul but those are ones I guess I'd consider more specific to the offensive line. O-line can be called for facemask but usually they go with hands to the face unless its a really bad one.
  2. Joshi fed is still running, UNION closed and Basara basically took its place days later, no idea why.
  3. All I care about is cost, if its $10 or less that's fine but anything more than that and I'll probably keep watching the way I currently do. I'm all for supporting, just don't get greedy about it
  4. And someone that doesn't understand how to follow rules and probation restrictions which is a bigger issue probably, but I think we've all had this conversation on this board last year with people's stances probably not changing since then. I don't think having high hopes for him is a great idea, when he did play in 2014 he was just average. And this is an even longer layoff than last time, so it seems optimistic at this point that he will repeat his 2013 numbers. But I hope he has learned from all this and comes back strong, nothing against the guy, he just seems to made a lot of poor decisions up to this point and he may end up being a one-hit wonder of sorts, a "What If" like Blackmon.
  5. To get ejected, it usually takes either a series of personal fouls, or doing an egregious act after the play is over. Punching a player and touching a referee generally are automatic ejections, otherwise it is just a 15 year penalty. I mean players aim at other player's heads and knock them unconscious and don't get ejected in the NFL (something I think will change at some point since college already did) and that to me is worse than what Talib did.
  6. I hadn't seen people saying Talib should have been ejected, that's the silliest thing I've read on the Internet in at least 12 hours. If anyone can name one time a player was ejected for a facemask I'll eat my shoe, I've seen similar facemasks not lead to an ejection. Suh alone has tried to kill like 12 QBs with worse things then that and I think only got ejected once. The Super Bowl isn't really the place to set a new precedent, if they want to talk about it in the off season for rule changes that's fine but that wasn't the moment to do it. That does come across as sour grapes, wanting the NFL Officials to just go rogue for the Panthers' benefit. And they do really need to look at Intentional Grounding, it is just too vague and not called correctly even by the vague rules. Besides that I thought the officiating was fine, they mostly stayed out of the way which is what people want most the time anyway.
  7. I am not anti-OZ, but I agree with the zombie man. I got tired of lots of interference in matches back in the late 90s and its just not something I enjoy in wrestling anymore. Hell even the 1985 AJW Crush Gal matches I liked less than I should have (still loved) due to all the interference, I just want to see wrestlers vs. wrestlers. Not that I mind cheating of course, I just don't want the cheating to be constant interference which kills the flow and enjoyment of the match. So while I do watch OZ as I like Kato a lot, I like Stardom and WAVE better as promotions (between the promotions that air with the most frequency).
  8. If Cam isn't aware enough not to do something his detractors already say he does, then what can ya do. He's still young, so either he'll learn from it or he'll just be seen as immature. But he can still be a great QB and be immature so in the long run I don't think it matters either way.
  9. Its possible, after it acted funny like twice I just gave up on it, decided it was too minor of a game aspect to really worry about too much. I just made one settlement have everything I needed and called it a day
  10. I mean if I store... wood in one settlement it wouldn't show up in another settlement. I'd assign people to the supply line, they'd happily go off but it never seemed to actually work correctly. But sometimes it would. It was just skitzo. Same issue like if I assigned someone to a shop, he'd man it for awhile, then suddenly be gone and I'd find the settler wondering around the village. It wasn't a huge deal since I never intended on building up lots of settlements, it just seemed more buggy than it should be.
  11. I don't mean to sound like an ass but I can't go back and read 46 pages to see if everything I am about to say has been said 100 times. My apologies So I finally beat the game and felt like I could even go into this thread. I... liked it but there were definitely some issues. As I am sure as been mentioned, the Power Armor was game-breaking. I rarely even used it just because it made everything way too easy, I think only two parts I decided I needed it. I also thought the end game pushed you really hard to go in one direction, as I really didn't want to take that direction but I try to play games the first time doing what my character would do and it just pushed me too much one way so I went with the flow. I already sold the game but I plan to buy it again when the super edition comes out next year, and pick a different path. Some of the side missions were really fun but I couldn't be bothered with building towns. I found it really really awkward and poorly done, people didn't stay stationed where I said to, salvage didn't appear in all towns when stored (they need to patch that), etc. So when I do my next play-through unless they fix that I won't even do as much as I did in that regard. What struck me is how much of the game felt lifeless. I know that is kinda the point of Fallout but so many of the enemies were the same (I killed 1,000 raiders but didn't run into many radscorpions, etc.) and walking from town to town exciting things didn't seem to happen as often, it didn't charm me like Fallout 3. I had to really push through a few times because I did want to finish it. But it wasn't the GOTY entry I was hoping for.
  12. I don't know what these words mean.But I made a chick in a skull facepaint like Vampiro who stabs aliens with a goddamn sword. Game of the Decade. See, that you don't know what a RNG is yet run a gaming channel keeps me from taking you seriously. Cool. Totes. That would be like being a wresting fan and not knowing the difference between a SSP and a Firebird Splash. Amateur, your opinions are now no longer valid. (I hope sarcasm reads over the Internet) I am off work Mon to Thurs so I hope to get some quality XCom 2 time in soon. Very excited.
  13. Looks like Star Wars will crawl across 900 million/2 billion this weekend. 900 million should be safe for a little while anyway.
  14. So what's the argument here? That anyone who doesn't think intergender matches make sense shouldn't watch matches between men of different weights? I think his point is, as I am sure you are aware before pulling up your usual strawman, that it is fake and in theory wrestling fans suspend some believe when they watch it because wrestling at its base is ridiculous. Irish whips, shooting star presses, nothing that is real. Action movies have men punch women, no one freaks out over it. If it makes some uncomfortable for whatever reason, I have no issue with that, to each their own. But not understanding the other side of the argument makes one look incapable of thinking other people may see something differently than they do. And thus not worth debating things with.
  15. Yep, Gears is my brother and my's favorite couch co-op game. Never tried it solo but I'm sure its not as fun that way.
  16. Hmmm can a person (rich person) pay extra to buy the rights? I mean that implies if LeBron had a t-shirt made and sold that he would have to pay rights to all his tattoo artists if the tattoo is visible on the shirt. Just sounds like a slippery slope, doesn't it?
  17. It is an interesting theory. Does he still own the work? If I buy a painting and some website shows it without permission and makes some profit somehow, wouldn't I be the one suing them? I'd think once an artist sells something to someone they lose those rights.
  18. I wouldn't go that far, I mean Stardom only had one meaningful retirement last year, and Act didn't really have a choice. None of the wrestlers that debuted the last two years have retired except Koguma and Reo Hazuki, but both were still mid-carders and may return somewhere some day since they are still young (who knows). But the stars of the promotion have been around for awhile, the upper midcard to main event wrestlers have been steady. I liked Koguma a lot and was sad to see her go, but I wouldn't call her departure a big emotional hit. Either way I guess I don't see three "retirements" as a big exodus. The other wrestlers that left (Takahashi, Iroha, and Yoshiko) are still wrestling somewhere or will be wrestling somewhere soon anyway.
  19. I haven't followed Joshi at all for six or seven years now, but I'm game to get back into it. Who are some of the wrestlers I should be watching matches of? In no specific order, my favorite current wrestlers are Io Shirai, Kairi Hojo, Hikaru Shida, Mayu Iwatani, and Meiko Satomura. Honorable mention for Syuri but she just joined Pancrase so her wrestling bookings will decrease. I have a list of my recommended matches from 2015 here with Dailymotion links, not that my opinion is the end-all be-all but those were my favorite matches from last year.
  20. It is funny you two posting back to back, a comedian that is getting into radio, and a radio guy getting into comedy. Good job branching out
  21. Yea New Japan's phase of doing 60 minute matches didn't do anyone any favors, and trying to make Nakamura into something he wasn't. Plus he found a personality/gained charisma at some point which helped along with just gaining normal experience over the years.
  22. If its a mobile game, my cell isn't strong enough to play the more cool games out there.
  23. Welcome back. Myself and James are trying to stimulate the Joshi conversation on here again so you're welcome to stay.
  24. Options are definitely getting limited. I still use dailymotion, but do to the copyright sweeps I have to keep the videos private and keep a master list on my website. In the ideal world the puro uploaders would do the same, just have a website like Ditch that has private DM links to matches on it, but they are doing it the way they feel is best. Most events end up on XWT, if you're a torrenting kinda guy.
  25. First nomination, isn't this exciting. NOMINATION - Io Shirai vs. Kairi Hojo in Stardom on 1/17/16 - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k7D9x2bnfIDOPmf5M2S In the past when these two battled, it generally felt like something was off. Here though I thought that they synced up really well, it was a perfectly paced and well executed match which is not easy when going almost 30 minutes. Some of the moves were just brutal (in a good way) as they were really laying it into each other, I have no idea how they manage to go this hard as often as they do without literally breaking. Hojo going for the moonsault was a callback to Shirai starting to use the Elbow Drop, which temporarily was her undoing and allowed Shirai to get back in control. Everything was on point, it is only the first month but this is the best Joshi match of the year so far and will likely stay in the Top 5 for the year. Not perfect, there is some blowing off of some bigger moves faster than I'd prefer, but a must see match.
