See, Atlanta Rovers doesn't even sound that bad. Whereas Atlanta Albion is just ridiculous.

Spartak Altanta! Atlanta Academicals! Hajduk Atlanta! Atlanta 1896! See how Rangers are actually Glasgow Rangers, and Celtic are actually Celtic Rangers? Why is there no MLS team called Texas Rangers?

32 hours into Mass Effect 2, just starting on the final save the World mission, and my Playstation freezes. And when I restart it, it's deleted my save games for that character. I'd made sure to have more than one save active, just in case. But they're all gone. This is really upsetting. I mean, I planned to play through it twice. But I'd planned to complete it the first time before starting a second run.

Wrestling cliches that should be brought back
AxB replied to cwoy2j's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Babyfaces who don't cheat, even when their opponent is cheating loads and getting away with it. Heels who cheat because they can't win anything at all if they try to play it clean. Heels who work the ref, by complaining about how dirty the face is. -
Wrestling Clichés That Should Be Abolished
AxB replied to Skeeball Wizard's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Don't watch much Soccer then? Actually, who was the last heel to 'dive'* and try to get his opponent disqualified when they'd done nothing wrong? It was Eddy, wasn't it? Guys don't even complain about having their hair pulled after an armdrag any more. * 'Flop' in Basketball terms. Fake being hit with an illegal technique. -
Atlanta United? What's wrong with Atlanta Athletic? Or Atletico Atlanta if you want to be exotic.

Whatever could they be referring to with that name? Seriously, what is going on with education that people can think the term 'Master Race' is acceptable anywhere?

I'm with you here, and I'm still baffled there aren't more western video games. Literally every single western trope is also basically standard video game fare. They fit like a glove. Yet Red Dead is pretty close to the only highly successful example, like, ever. Too young to have played Boot Hill then? It was pretty big in the very early 80s. So, I'm playing ME2, and I've got to Project Overlord, and suddenly I'm not playing Mass Effect any more, and instead I'm playing Frogger, only the lake is made of Lava and the logs are made of rock, and they keep sinking and this is really fucking stupid why can't I just use the fucking shuttle I use for every other bit of planetary travel in the fucking game? This is worse than waiting half an hour for the fucking lift elevator in ME1. On the plus side, I did manage to get to number one in agar.io earlier. I was called Where'sMyMoney? Seriously, just type agar.io into your browser. Trust me. It's good.

I went on a Rollercoaster with a broken rib when I was 11. That was fun. I could feel it sliding around inside and stuff.

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase III Discussion
AxB replied to RIPPA's topic in "COMIC BOOK" MOVIES & TV
You have to understand how the Daily Star works. It's not actually a Newspaper per se, they don't report news*. They decide what they want to print, and then try and find someone who says it happened. In this case, they had found/ photoshopped a picture of Beyonce dressed as Wonder Woman, and they really wanted to run it in the paper, but there was no actual news story involved. So a 'Source close to Beyonce' (a Daily Star writer who once might have met her, or has at least met an African American woman at some point. Or seen one on TV or something) said she wanted to be in a Superhero movie. And a 'Source close to Marvel' (a Daily Star writer who might have set foot in a comic book store once, maybe... probably the same person who was also close to Beyonce) responded by saying they couldn't wait to work with her. They also said she could possibly play Hawkeye. So yeah, paying loads of attention. * Ironically, the most accurate and true to life reportage in the paper is the Pro-Wrestling column every Thursday. Although even that is a bit too 'All wrestling is fantastic and there has never been a bad wrestling match in world history'. -
You think TNA will still exist in October? Have you ever had a twitter account?

I remember when Angle won the title in late 2001, and JR started taking how great it was that we had a Patriotic American as World Champion, and how 'all is right with the world... or at least the Wrestling bit of it'. They're so keen to tell us that they're being watched in all these Countries around the world but they never stop to think about how cringeworthy the nationalism they espouse would seem overseas. See when you've finished the IYH/non-big 4 WWF/E series, are you going to watch every WCW Clash of the Champions ever? Some of them are really good.

Glasgow, Scotland. I've seen Jim Duggan get UK crowds to chant USA in the past as well though. Although that's mostly because he chants it himself and they join in. Gunner got them to do it spontaneous. When Gunner had his title shot against Magnus, that was one of Magnus' best title defenses. Mostly because it was booked to be a Wrestling match and not a series of run-ins.

We don't celebrate Father's Day in our family... because there's no such thing as Father's day. Greeting Card companies made it up in the 60s and for some reason people went along with it.

They changed your name to Penis Stroke-Off? Oh, those crazy Russians.

Not available in your area. Bollocks. Something called Five Star Wrestling is, but apparently that's just a shit copy of WWE's games.

Connie Steele. Klondyke Kate's little girl. It went 20 minutes, and Connie took about 5 bumps in the match. Saraya took no bumps.

Currently reading The English Monster by Lloyd Shepard. It's a two-pronged historical novel, one about a guy who goes to make his fortune at sea in the 16th century, and one about a horrific murder in London in the 18th century. Seems good so far, and hopefully we'll find out what the two stories have to do with each other at some point. Before that, I read Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson. It's good that he's trying to bring things together, but one of the main characters is travelling incognito towards the epic showdown, and the moment he takes off the mask and says his name, you're clearly supposed to be going 'Oh Shit! It's really him!'. But I had no idea who he was. Because there's too many plotlines and too many characters and you never get to know any of them properly before they disappear for a few hundred pages. There's good scenes in it. Good chapters. But it's ultimately too unwieldy to hang together enough to be a good book.

Back in the days when I had aSoIaF quotes as my sig, I had a Qyburn one for a while.

Having seen Saraya Knight wrestle a match in person, I don't know why anyone would want to see her on the big stage. Unless she's actually really good and just sandbagged like fuck because it was All-Star. But it was like they were trying to do the 'get a lot out of a little' type match, and ended up doing a 'get nothing out of nothing much' match instead.

See Sicario, is it going to be one of those films where everyone in Mexico not only speaks fluent English, but actually opens conversations speaking in English rather than establishing the other person can't speak Spanish first? One of my Playstation friends is called Sicario Antrax 5. So he's Hitman Anthrax 5. Never realised that before.

Qyburn says the poison is Manticore Venom. Pycelle says it can't be, that kills in minutes and the Mountain is still screaming days later. Qyburn says the Red Viper must have thickened it somehow to slow the spread and ensure it's a prolonged, lingering death. Pycelle says that's impossible. Qyburn says lots of things Measters think are impossible have been happening lately.

Anyone else playing Agar.io ? It's pretty straightforward. Eat the dots. Eat any blobs smaller than you. Run away from blobs bigger than you. And yet, it's damn addictive.

We didn't see Stannis' head separated from his body, so he might still be alive. Well, we didn't see Ned Stark's head actually falling off either. We did see it on a spike the next week, but they cut away from the beheading.

The Sand Snake we've seen most of in the books is still undercover and not outed to the reader as who she actually is. But the other ones are basically liked because of everyone liking Oberyn.
