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 Amateur, your opinions are now no longer valid.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.

Looks like Star Wars will crawl across 900 million/2 billion this weekend. 900 million should be safe for a little while anyway.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

If its a mobile game, my cell isn't strong enough to play the more cool games out there.

Welcome back. Myself and James are trying to stimulate the Joshi conversation on here again so you're welcome to stay.

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.

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.

Buffalo Bills storming the Pro Bowl now. Happy for Tyrod, since he was the official replacement he was already almost a lock to make the pro bowl anyway since the ones in front of him were in the playoffs. He had a better year than anyone could have realistically hoped for.

Really they should at least start Brock Osweiler, and announce it now so the Panthers have to prepare for someone with an arm. Then if Brock isn't calling the right plays/gets hit a lot/looks confused then Manning can come in fresh and pick up where he left off. Not like Manning needs first team reps anyway. They won't do that of course, but I think that would help their chances.

The funny this is, I don't think my city even has a plow. So it doesn't take a lot of snow to make things unfortunate. The main roads are all fine by now but my neighborhood is still slushy ice, so driving at night is a really bad idea since its gets slippery. Course I get off work at 10 PM which means the the last three nights I was sliding around to get to my parking spot. But I am off the next few days which will give it plenty of time to melt.

I think the Broncos aren't very good but I'll have to root for them since they knocked off the Pats and Panther fans are oddly obnoxious. But I think Denver is in trouble. Unless their defense is in super kill mode and they manage to subdue Cam (which has happened this year but not often) I don't think Denver can put up the points to keep up. I think we will know by the end of the 1st Quarter how the rest of the game will go, it should be pretty clear by then if Denver has what it takes to slow down the Panthers or not. If the Panthers score 24+ points I think they win.

Since they sent out God knows how many they sell for $25 to $30 on Ebay, about the same price as the box. Without the other stuff of course but the Funko POP is the real prize anyway.

No one else said anything when I mentioned it so I doubt anyone else subscribes, but the Smuggler's Bounty Funko POP was an adorable It is my first of that "type" so I was excited.

I am hoping here it turns to rain tomorrow night so I can drive home, but I am bringing some stuff to sleep in in case I get stuck at work. In the last 24 hours we went from getting "less than one inch" to "three to five inches" so it may be ten inches by tomorrow at this rate. Newport News, VA is right in that rain/show bubble as we usually are, it is supposed to be in the mid-30s so it can go either way.

I think it is called "PuroScope"

There is a facebook group that uploads Joshi, but I don't have Facebook so it doesn't do a lot for me. I am uploading matches but I keep them private just so they won't get deleted, you can find my list here. Current plan is to upload the best match from each 2016 show as they air, plus occasionally plug in some older matches.

He wishes he played baseball. If that's an option, of course choosing football is regrettable. Poll most players and you'll get a different answer. Heck, I got a daughter on the way. If you told me I could ruin my body and she and the misses will (theoretically) never have to worry about money again, I would do it! It is also a fantasy, he was an extremely late draft pick in baseball, chances are very low he would have been in MLB (and baseball players get broken too). I imagine one of the reasons he picked football was he had a better chance of making it. I mean I get the regret in hindsight, I am sure some wrestlers feel the same way, but he was an adult and knew what he was doing in regards to the leg injuries. I am guessing it is more the mental issues that led to his regrets, the article doesn't say that but I am sure that's a much bigger deal to him and more of a factor. Which is understandable.

The knees issue I don't really have a lot of sympathy for, lots of people have jobs that their knees/backs have problems when they get older and that was a side effect he was well aware of at the time of playing. The memory/concussion issues is different though, especially since he played in a time they they weren't protecting players at all. I don't blame him for having second thoughts if its impacting his mental health.
