Just got VVVVVV for $0.50 on Steam. Fun 2D puzzle platformer. Incredibly frustrating.

Agreed with 20LEgend. Don't know where this is going, but I'm excited to see it progress. It's a risk, and I want to see how it unfolds.

I grabbed Papers Please (pretty fun indie game), Star Wars Battlefront II (nostalgia overtook me), and Gone Home, which I'm about to play now. Anyone ever played these? I'm sure some have played Battlefront haha, more interested in thoughts on the other two.

BattleBowl was well worth the wait! I rather liked the short writeups for the undercard, having those oddball teams for the Lethal Lottery was cool enough, the writeups didn't need to be extravagant. Great song choice for Austin haha. The later writeups were great too, had me thinking Sting all the way in spite of Jake, then when he got tossed I thought of how awesome Vader vs. Hogan would be, with the fans getting behind Vader. I even thought Dustin had a shot at beating Steamboat, but Ricky was the right choice. Even though I gave Simmons no shot, you had me a couple of times thinking he was gonna win, which made it worth it to put that match after the BattleBowl. I liked it, it was a great PPV overall.

BioShock: Infinite for $10 on the Steam Sale? Count me the bleep in.

In an attempt to hold back from spoilers, I'm just gonna say that the Season 4 midseason finale was the best episode of the entire series thus far. This season has been great, I just hate that money-hungry AMC cuts every season in two.

Aaron Rodgers anybody? As a huge Packers fan, I'm still crying.

<p>Finally sat down and caught up with this! Agreed with all of the positive comments so far, this keeps getting better and more interesting. Poor Sting though, beats the champ in a PPV main event, beats the second in command for the next one .... then he gets in the US title picture? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> He's all over the card though which can only bode well for the man (Austin) who takes him out.</p><p> </p><p> “Hot Rod” Roddy Piper w/Jimmy Hart vs. <strong>“The Enforcer” Arn Anderson</strong></p><p> Comments: Because he's the man</p><p> </p><p> The Stud Stable w/Col.

<p>I kinda like that the Shield are involved here...even though it surely means that they are gonna be getting beaten quite often by guys like Bryan who are trying to get at the Corporation. Can't imagine they're gonna develop into much more than lackeys at this point before the potential face turn. Titles will be gone soon.</p><p> </p><p> Oh well. At least it separates them from doing the same exact thing the Wyatts are doing right now.</p>

<p>Quick summary of my thoughts.</p><p> </p><p> Ambrose/RVD: The Shield are now the Hounds of Just-the-Pre-Show. Very solid match though, these two should continue what they're doing.</p><p> </p><p> Wyatt/Kane: I actually really enjoyed this match for what it was. The ending was kind of expected, but cool. I liked what happened afterwards as well.</p><p> </p><p> Rhodes/Sandow: I am a HUGE Sandow fan. He's my favorite thing going right now, but the finish allows him to move on. I was hoping he would cash in tonight, because not many people would have expected it.</p><p> </p><p> Christian/ADR: Quietly a great match. Man, Christian tells a story every time he goes out. Both of these guys are so damn solid.</p><p> </p><p> Brie/Natalya: Breaking Bad was on so I skipped this one.</p><p> </p><p> Punk/Lesnar: Missed the early parts of this one too, but I kept tuning back in during BrBa commercials. Luckily it was over before this match really got going because it was phenomenal and I want to watch it again very soon.</p><p> </p><p> Mixed Tag: It did was it was supposed to do. Kaitlyn kinda needs to go away IMO.</p><p> </p><p> Cena/Bryan: Fantastic match. Both guys looked great. In an era where the Internet pretty much thinks of everything, the WWE still found a way to go a little against common intelligence. It was a good way to end it and I'm definitely excited to see what happens next. '03-'04 Orton is one of my favorites, so I kinda still have a soft spot for him. And I will shut up about Triple H inserting himself into the main event now because that was a cool way to do it.</p>

<p>Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!</p><p> </p><p> Awesome match, awesome ending. Triple H turning heel is cool. Good stuff.</p>

<p>I blew through all of Breaking Bad recently. Possibly the best show I've ever watched.</p><p> </p><p> On Dexter's final season, I'm a bit underwhelmed. I'm just waiting for some big stuff to happen and all of these side plots are a bit...I don't know, they're just a bit boring for me. </p><p> </p><p> Jennifer Carpenter is great though.</p>
