Direct thoughts: excited for Metroid Dread, Kirby: Forgotten Lands not sure how i feel about the Mario voice casting. Pretty damn star studded. Chris Pratt as Mario? sure thing. Jack Black as Bowser? sounds good. Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong? eh....maybe? Charlie Day as Luigi? nope, not a fan of this one. not my thing: Bayonetta 3, Splatoon 3, Switch Online (although the concept of Nintendo producing a Sega Genesis controller makes me happy)

i certainly hope the AEW belts fare better than that!

thanks for clearing that up. i read it as they wanted to cast a wrestler, but WWE's Producer put the nix on it. and the person mentioned left it *just* ambiguous enough.

i will admit that my experience with the handheld CV games is minimal. definitely an oversight i want to correct. as soon as i clear more games off my backlog......

i think the Smash Bros. final DLC character announcement is pretty likely. why would Silksong show up in a Switch announcement? Isn't that more likely to be put out by the developer? 100% ready for Mario Kart 9, although i hadn't heard that rumor from anywhere credible.

Bloodstained ROTN is my 3rd favorite Metroidvania game, after #1 Castlevania SOTN and #2 Super Metroid. I played through it last year, after marathoning the NES/SNES Metroid and Castlevania games. Immediately after finishing it, i wanted to start all over. That's not the reaction i have to most games (for example, after beating Super Metroid, it just made me want to play NES Metroid again.)

look, Christopher Daniels. just give the people what they want. Curry Man!

i couldn't agree more, and the bolded part is especially surprising and refreshing. Think about how many big matches have happened on Dynamite (and, to a lesser extent, Rampage). They continuously run BIG matches, but none of them feel throw away. that's a feat in and of itself.

your quoted was the wrestler to be cast, or the producer who stopped it?

it is indeed. when i'm at my LCS this afternoon to pick up Nightwing, i'll be adding this!

i have absolutely no idea what this says, but i find it funny that the first words in the picture are "+WEED"

make it Brodie Lee's entrance gear, and i'm 100% behind you in this.

i feel you, brother. Owen's death hit me hard in 1999, and hit me even harder a few years ago when i rewatched all of the Attitude Era shows. not the first time Owen's been involved in a non-WWE wrestling project since his death. he was in (at least) one of the Legends of Wrestling video games.

Ross always seems to try to play the middle card. While acknowledging that it was, in fact, his job, he also deflected and claimed that he only did what he was told to. That's not how it works. You either make talent decisions (regarding hiring, firing, punishments, etc.) or you don't. which is it? Also, when asked about Ric Flair's lack of punishment, JR said that Flair was a "made man" and wondered aloud if that was right or not. YOU FUCKING ALREADY KNOW THAT'S NOT RIGHT. Fire him, fine him, take him off the road, send him to counseling/rehab, do SOMETHING. Just ignoring it and letting that behavior continue is ABSOLUTELY ABHORRENT. I know Vince is ultimately the one true boss, but if your VP of TR is letting shit like this happen, he needs severe repercussions. In any normal company, Ric Flair, Dustin, and numerous other people would have been fired as soon as they landed. Ross would also have consequences for letting that go on while he was there. Fuck that old time "boys will be boys" mentality.

how does this put over Roman Reigns?

the day of 9/11, i was a few weeks into starting college. i was skipping my morning classes that day so i could watch the Price Is Right (i probably had a major hangover too, but i can't confirm that). didn't get to see Bob Barker that day. and i usually feel like the odd man out in that i'm not that effected by what happened. like yeah, i can appreciate the tragedy and mourn the loss of life, but i have zero personal connection to what happened. @Tabe's comparison to Pearl Harbor is spot on for me. now, this did lead to friends of mine signing up for and/or being deployed overseas by the military, so it's not that i'm completely cut out from connection.

well, seemingly not Dreamer.

i agree with the 2nd part of your quoted post. as for the first, i feel like Starks got drowned out basically the entire time. what i did hear was good, but Jericho's still finding his balance and continues to talk over everyone. i really hope he can dial it back going forward.

oh god dammit. just cancel the whole thing now.

Midnight Connection sounds like some drug running circuit to me....

ok, i have started to/tried to watch Extreme Rising 4 on three separate occasions now, and I'm just not feeling it. i don't know if it's the presentation, the production, the performers, or what, but i just can't get into it at all. feels bland and uninteresting. damn shame after coming off a fun card in ER3. thus officially ends my ECW watch. next up, another promotion i have no history with (albeit a much shorter tenure), Wrestling Society X.

no, needs more Seinfeld.

my LOL of the night: Jade with a big pump kick or whatever, and JR says "that got her right between the headlights" hmm, a 30 second video of Suzuki killing guys while Archer talks over it. as if somebody requested something of the sort. i feel like AEW has grown by leaps and bounds, and i hope when Hangman returns he's able to pick up where he left off. great show tonight. needs more Thunder Rosa. next week is gonna be off the charts.

i just built a shelf to house all my disc-based games. having the Greatest Hits version on Mario Sunshine never bothered me until today..... https://ibb.co/vHd83hN
