I just got a level 1 Phalanx, and it feels more effective than my level 6 Charger. I also got a Widow, but I haven't got an Infiltrator I'm playing yet (I'm just using the Human Engineer and the Asari Adept for now), and it's too heavy to use as a second gun when you're a Powers first-type character.

See how WCW once did a 'Judy Bagwell on a Pole' match? Well, the way you one-up that is to put Ivan Putski up there. The 'Pole on a Pole' match.

80s: 90s: I can totally see Magnum TA going grunge. He could do the "I was grunge before grunge was cool" promo no hassle.

I thought the most overused Christian name in Wrestling was Shane? Since you've got all the guys using it as a last name as well. If someone says Eddie is an overused name, does Eddie Edwards count as one usage or two? Or zero, because it's his real name? "The" has nothing on "El".

Homicide: Life on the Street featured great single/ double episode performances from Robin Williams, Vincent D'Onofrio Steve Buscemi and Bruce Campbell (who was probably the best of all of them; He was incredible). Didn't Judi Dench win Best Actress for a ten minute role once?

If they're going to remaster Saint's Row 2 &3, why not go the whole hog and remaster Saint's Row 1 as well? Put the whole trilogy out there.

They're trying to be all things to all people. The jokes the adults don't like are generally the ones for the little kids (who are too young to understand much of the plot and really shouldn't be in there, but love lil' Groot anyway).

I ran into a guy who clearly had 'Everyone who's never revived me' on his no revive list. Refused to revive me when I was the only one hacking. Wouldn't revive me when he was standing on my corpse during extraction. But as soon as he died and I bought him back, suddenly he'd run all the way across the map to pick me up. It was glitching out this morning and wouldn't let me start any matches. But technically I shouldn't be within ten foot of an online server, so I'm not in any position to be angry about that. I'll see if it's still keeping me out later tonight.

It's Lacelle, Cris. The only man in board history to run a board romance angle (with his own sock puppet, no less). I'm not sure he has the wit to comprehend sarcasm. Vince McMahon's world. Not Stephanie's though

I thought you could punch four people at once if you jumped in the air first?

Personally I'd rank Jushin Liger over Evan Karagias, may be controversial but that's my stance.

The only non-default gun I've got in my one day of playing is the Charger. But I've had it four times already.

Decided to try to join a multiplayer game even though I haven't got PS+ and therefore can't play any online games. It let me do it. Levelled up Female Human Engineer twice already.

Been done. mate:

Wait, you can accrue Mission Funds in single player and then spend them in Multiplayer? I could load the game for five minutes a day and build up loads of them... for when I eventually start playing online on PS4.

I'm pretty sure it's in the public domain. Between the Biblical characters, the Wrestlers, the Super Villains, the band* (who are named after the Wresting faction), various restaurants and businesses... if they could sue each other they would. But they haven't. * This would be one for the Not-a-cover thread, but it would involve posting a Coldplay video. And bollocks to Coldplay. So I'll post it here:

When Glenn Close was doing interviews to promote The Girl With All the Gifts over here (she was also doing a play in the West End at the time) she said she'd filmed a cameo for GotG2. But clearly it either got cut (deleted scene for the BluRay?) or maybe the scene was moved to Infinity War (if it was important enough).

Finished it last week. It took a while to sink in... I think that having American Tabloid climax with the JFK assassination, and then Cold 6000 with MLK and RFK, he really had a problem if he didn't want to climax Rover with Watergate (and even then, which bit of it - the break in itself, or the investigation, or Nixon's resignation...), there's no climactic event to build to. So he had to manufacture the non-assassination of J Edgar Hoover (even though he died of natural causes) as his climax. But the really jarring thing to me is that it's weirdly more personal to Ellroy than even My Dark Places was. Because I'm pretty sure that right before he wrote Blood's a Rover, his grey haired, left wing wife left him. And every major male character in the book is in some way or other tragically in love with (at least one) grey haired left wing woman. And they will not keep quiet about it. It was really jarring.

So when I was moving house, I tore my rotator cuff a bit, and I didn't really lift much while it was healing, for like a year and a half. Once I noticed my shoulder was totally pain free throughout the full range of motion, I eased myself back in to the weights. Now when I wasn't lifting, if I stretched my arms high overhead, my fingertips would brush the ceiling. Now I'm jacked up again, I stretch my arms and and I can touch the ceiling with my knuckles. And I'm not on my tiptoes or wearing thicker socks or anything... I'm guessing it's unlikely my arms are any longer, so is it just broader shoulders translating vertically, or have I somehow straightened my spine or spaced out my vertebrae enough to gain actual height? Because I didn't think that was possible in your 40s.

Back in the day, I'd switch my chat to public just to tell the whole lobby I was going to the Tattoo shop by the beach. And sure enough, people would flock towards there and get killed by my friends while I pretended to browse tattoos.

So I finally got around to watching The Wolf of Wall Street. It's very much like a remake of Goodfellas... and it shares the problems Goodfellas has. Both times Scorsese is trying to document the seductive lifestyles of the truly immoral, and both times he allows himself to get seduced by it. He makes it look like these are victimless crimes, the heroes of the story are just having fun, making themselves a good living by doing things that are technically illegal but not that big a deal... and they're ruining people's lives. Lots of peoples lives. But every time they get to 'this is against the law' Leo just does this charming rogue smile and says "But you don't want to know about that". So when it gets to the criminal investigation part of the story, because we've been told the story of a lovable guy who bent the rules a little bit(which everyone else in that business does as well, and worse), you get the feeling that his punishment outstrips his crimes. Don't get me wrong, it's a good film. But on a fundamental level, I didn't agree with what it was saying. I enjoyed watching it, I didn't like it.

He was born with these ones: but he's too young in the picture to know you're supposed to cut the sleeves off all of your shirts.

What's better than having a Platinum trophy in GTA V? Having two of them.

"And remember kid, World title matches are supposed to be really boring. So long as your finish is over, you can just do nothing at all out there and they'll lap it up."
