Andrew POE!

Also blasting through SR4. This is slowly taking over as my GOTY. The last mission I just did was surprisingly sad.

I would seriously watch weekly episodes of Impotent Rage & Moorehead Rides Again after watching Archer. Can't wait for September 17th.

XBOX ONE finally has a release date of November 22nd. A week after the PS4 in the US but a week before the PS4 in Europe and a week before Black Friday in the US.

This makes the most sense and would *gasp* have continuity. I think turning The Miz would work as well -- HHH could dangle the carrot about how "he once main evented WrestleMania and now he's on Superstars." Basically, The Miz is told to take out Daniel Bryan so he can 'take Bryan's spot' against Orton. It would also allow Bryan a chance to actually get a win against someone since the Miz would insist on taking out Bryan on his own.

And did you hear that every chant got progressively quieter until at the end when Orton posed over Bryan, the crowd was half-dead? Not to mention that the crowd was waiting for Big Show to KO HHH (or even Stephanie) and for Daniel Bryan to grab one of the Shield for the Yes! Lock. They wanted a basic payoff from it for the faces and the heels to be sent running. Instead, it drug on and on and the crowd just gave up on it. If this continues on next week's Raw, don't be surprised if the crowd completely shits all over the segments with HHH droning on and on for 20 minutes or standing victoriously without getting his comeuppance.

Yeah, Daniel Bryan is pretty much buried. I don't see him winning at Night of Champions. Gotta love HHH and his hogging the spotlight even when he's not wrestling.

TJ looks like he dropped about two tabs of acid or E in that picture. I've known guys like Vincent at parties and they usually end up with going to the hospital after getting in a fight or getting arrested. Ariane really could do better but hooking up with a Jersey Shore reject is OK and makes for entertainment. JoJo really doesn't belong in the WWE. If she were two years older and has actual wrestling experience under her belt, she would be fine. I also thought it was interesting that Eva Marie didn't drink due to 'personal problems.' If CM Punk wants to reform the Straight Edge Society, Eva Marie can join.

I finally beat Dead Rising and its 72 Hour Mode & Overtime Mode. Once you get above level 20, the game becomes surprisingly easy. The final boss in Overtime Mode was a bitch to deal without weapons.

I didn't know you were in Atlanta for Dragon Con.

I would recommend waiting. 1) There aren't as many great games at launch. For the XB1/PS4 launch, however, most of the games seem to be great and will be truly spectacular (Battlefield 4, COD Ghosts, Watch_Dogs, ACIV Black Flag, NFS Rivals, Forza 5, Killzone Shadowfall, Knack, etc.) But as the systems go along, better games will be released (like Infamous: Second Son, Sony Santa Monica's rumored PS4 game, Naughty Dog's PS4 game, The Last Guardian, Halo 5, The Order: 1886, Thief 4, Titanfall, etc.) 2) The launch games will get cheaper. 3) We don't know if there will be a RROD or YLOD for either system. Usually, with early systems like from this past gen, they were LOTS of hardware problems. I'd rather wait until those problems are reported or resolved. 4) There's too many good games from this past/current gen. I know I'm still going through them -- I'm just now playing through games from early on in the 360/PS3 life cycle. I haven't even played RDR, GTAIV, Killzone 2 & 3, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, Dragon's Dogma, Dragon Age Origins & Dragon Age II....I could go on. I know I'm taking a break from gaming when the next systems come out. I don't necessarily need them at first if at all. I still got a lot to finish through before I even think about owning the PS4/XB1 gen.

I'm so glad I renewed my PS+ subscription -- RE Chronicles HD Collection and Galaga Legions DX for me.

If EA announced tomorrow that they are making Mutant League Football with the Madden engine for next-gen systems, I will shit my pants AND buy a PS4.

I pre-ordered for PS3. Can't wait to play with some of you online.

The great news is that the Wii U is now $299. Still won't get one this year.

When I heard that Curtis Axel & Paul Heyman handcuffed CM Punk, I thought "they watched the Youtube video of Tom Pritchard/Dirty White Boy and they are going to try to hang CM Punk with a noose."

I can't believe Eddie Gilbert ran out to pull Jerry Lawler away. That's like Moriarty saving Sherlock Holmes.

I found the whole thing with Miley on VMA to be a ripoff of M.I.A. I'm also surprised that if Miley really wanted to say 'screw it,' she would record an album of Belle & Sebastian, Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker and other alternative indie acts' songs. Her cover of "Lilac Wine" is surprisingly decent.

Fuck you to a girl I know who posted her engagement pics on Facebook and is pretending like she's some celebrity/reality TV star/actress. The guy she got engaged to looks like he runs a convenience store while she looks like a skinny model, so no loss for me. I'm not bitter, really (I can hear some of you say "yes you are"). I don't mind other girls I'm friends with/acquaintances on Facebook getting hitched because they are mostly not bad. But I just find this particular girl annoying.

I hope you gave him a flying knee and shouted "NO!" repeatedly after that conversation. Nah, but I wish I did. I asked him to name me one good match recently from Randy Orton and he couldn't come up with anything. He also wants Steve Austin back in the WWE. He's a bit special. I was one of those people who argued that Nattie is a decent wrestler. I then realized that I could not come up with an actual match that was memorable and that was great that involved her. For all the talk about her 'Hart family bloodline,' she is a mediocre wrestler. If she were a male wrestler, she would be like The Miz basically.

I talked to a guy I work with about the Daniel Bryan feud with Randy Orton and he's a Randy Orton fan and he thinks that Bryan sucks. Why? It has nothing to do with their matches. It has to do with a f*ckin' ringtone. He likes Orton's entrance music. I swear you don't need a functioning brain to be a WWE fan nowadays.

I have absolutely no faith in the WWE given the title to Daniel Bryan or him gaining the upper-hand on the "Corporate Legacy." For one, Daniel Bryan is seen as too weak to do so and is not charismatic enough to do it. He's a great Everyman, but it's easy to see the writing on the walls with HHH's comment about "Randy Orton carrying the WWE title for him." And AJ's promo was great -- I would love to believe that it will lead to great matches with her against Natalya and/or the Bellas, but Natalya has let her ring skills lapse and the Bellas are awful as wrestlers. AJ Lee burying Total Divas is pure Vince McMahon -- if he had a problem with her saying that, AJ's mic would have been cut off.

TJ Wilson/Tyson Kidd is a complete loser. Nattie Neidhart could do better than that. I mean Kidd's mom and his sister have the 'bitch face' disorder and TJ would rather spend time with them? Nattie is practically throwing herself at TJ and he is too smoked out to notice and won't stand up to his own mom/family. Plus, another guy is wanting to make the moves on Nattie because TJ is too stupid. Poor Trinity had to wrestle Alicia Fox, so no wonder she got winded. To me, Ariane is a blonde haired white girl trapped in a black girl's body (not being racist, just noticing her behavior). And she's not very good at wrestling, unlike Trinity who is serious about becoming a great wrestler.

From what I'm playing of the game, it's OK but Steelport is completely boring to tranverse in. It's like a combination of SR1 (which I haven't finished) and SR3. I really hate the Blazin' speedrunning sections. One in Wesley Int'l Airport is "easy," yeah right.

After Ballmer leaves, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft unloads/discontinues the Xbox division and/or Windows phones. Whoever they get next may not fully understand video games and just sees the dollar signs from Xbox Live service.
