Man, it's been so long since I worked on the bios that I honestly can't remember which ones I did lol. If my creations are all my children, then I'm a deadbeat dad.

They booked that pretty much like Dusty booked his main events. That man was so fond of overbooked finishes that you'd think we would have named a specific type of finish after him...

So, I have been having the hardest time getting into Baldur's Gate 3 despite me loving everything I encounter. It's just the "normal" difficulty is pretty damn hard 😂
Lowered it down to the lowest for this play through and I'm finally gelling. Just met Astarion and I can tell I'm going to love him. Shadowheart is giving me potential mystery vibes, so I'm intrigued by her too. Just got to Emerald Grove and the only reason I had to stop was because my controller died.
I had to drop down to easy as well in order to beat BG3. I probably could have beaten it on normal with enough persistence, but I've only got so much time on this Earth and I didn't want to spend hours upon hours replaying the same fight over and over again. And it still felt pretty challenging by the end even on easy!

I read a blurb of an interview with the director where he said Bill's look is inspired by the celebrities popular with Gen Z and that really put things into perspective. This movie isn't meant for me, it's meant for the kids discovering themselves just like I was when I saw The Crow as a kid. I'm still going to give it a shot because I'm a sucker for Bill and even the mostly garbage Crow sequels have good elements.
Oh crap... that means I'm getting old now! I can't relate to young people! I can barely relate to my own generation!

Man, I want to give this movie a chance because Bill Skarsgard is a good actor, but Jared Leto Joker crossed with DMC reboot Dante is making it really hard to hope for a good Crow reboot.

Have a PS5 question that's a bit strange.
For Christmas we had gotten a PS5 from a rental place. Now we are going to buy one outright and was curious how easy it is to transfer the stuff from the rental to the one we'll own? We don't have PS+ atm, but we will in the near future so I can play Baldur's Gate with my friends 😂
If this support page is correct, this should explain how to use a USB thumb drive to transfer data better than I can.

TNA, TNA, TNA... Must you always be run by morons?

It feels like they've been "finishing" this story for years now. At this rate, Star Citizen will be finished before he wins the title.

Eventually the less successful streaming services will consolidate, and much like with telephone companies we will go back to 3 or 4.
Funny thing is that I've already seen articles with film studio execs talking about their "bold new concept" of packaging streaming networks together. Give them five years and these idiots forgot cable packages even existed.

How does Joe get involved in so many random heel turns? I still remember that stupid TNA storyline where he got attacked by Steiner, came back with huge babyface momentum and then "swerved" everyone by joining the Main Event Mafia during the King of the Mountain match.

I'll maintain that Bryan could wrestle an inanimate object to a four star match at this stage in his career, so anything Nigel might do can only improve matters. Plus I want to give the man enough credit to know that if he can't surpass a broomstick, he ought to stay retired. Most of the truly excellent ones do seem to know when it's time to quit trying to be something other than a special attraction, and or me Nigel is one of those excellent ones.
I really hope you're right. Nigel's ROH title run was what saved my love for wrestling after the guy I considered my idol... well, we all know what disturbing thing happened earlier that same year in 2007.

I'm still sure that the entire bidding war thing is a work.
Anyway, does anyone else get the vibes that Nigel is setting up a match with Bryan?Man, if Nigel can still go after all these years that'd be an awesome match.

I don't really get Abadon. They're too small for me to take the taker-style no-selling seriously. Feel they also needed to presented better for the gimmick to get over. Tony presented Abadon as a jobber early on and really did them dirty.
I think Abadon's no-selling would work better if they acted more movie zombie-like with it and less Undertaker zombie-like. Like, don't do the stone expression on the sit up and instead lurch forward and keep their arms loose like their body is moving out of sync with the signals from their brain.

They need to lean into the Occult stuff more often, and make the House of Black feel more distinct like the Ministry or Raven's Flock did.
House of Black could really use a lineup change to freshen the group up. Malakai kicking Buddy Matthews from the group would make a lot of sense.
For a black metal fan, Malakai sure has a hard time doing anything all that black metal with his gimmick. House of Black should be the Ministry on steroids with a generous dose of Kevin Sullivan in Florida. I'm not saying go full Mayhem (never go full Mayhem), but do at least one or two things to get religious nutjobs angry!

There is only one way to solve this...
Merge both companies and create the mega company - Bloldgackden Canvas Grappppling! The new logo will feature a Liger!
Boom, argument over! Liger trumps all!
Only if the announcement of the merger is set to Jushin Liger's theme.

GCG events: (Changed from Lion to Tiger since OG GCG used a tiger in their logo, not a lion. This is the 77 mod after all)
It is now canon to me that CVerse internet fans get into heated debates about whether the lion or tiger was a better choice like the old "Trukk not munky" arguments Transformers fans had about Beast Wars.

I wish I didn't hate going to the theater, because it's going to be hell waiting for Godzilla Minus One to come out on streaming platforms. I had a feeling it was going to be good once I saw the director cite GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack as one of the main influences. Any kaiju movie directed by Shusuke Kaneko is a fantastic starting place for your Godzilla script.

To me that was to try and get the developmental company to beat AEW's main show. Which I understand. You want to prove even your minor leagues gets better ratings than AEW's main show. The fact they were under 1 million viewers was surprising. But still the fact they won against AEW on NXT a down note for AEW. Side note I laughed when TK tried to say oh well Undertaker & Cena never were on a show under 1 million viewers before. Like dude, your company is under 1 million all the time now. Edge just debuted for you which means it's the first time he was on a show under a million people and that was your main show. Also, it's the first time Cena & Taker are on a show under 1 million and it still beat Dynamite. I found that funny so I wanted to mention it.
TK is his own worst enemy. Constantly tweeting, talking about ratings, etc. Dude, you run the clear #2 promotion in the US. Just let it ride. Wars are exhausting, painful, and leave the industry lesser than it was before. Why would you want one? For two or three years of a boost to ratings?

Speaking of remasters, has anyone played the Turok remasters from Nightdive?
I've played the first two (just learned that 3 finally got one!) and they play great! Nightdive is king of remasters.

Talking of games I played when younger... I just got Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos on PC again. So bad but so good!
I actually played Lands of Lore just a few months ago. Super fun dungeon crawler! It even beat Oblivion to the punch on shelling out for Patrick Stewart only to barely use him before the character gets taken out lol. I'm looking forward to checking out the other two games, especially Guardians of Destiny. I love me some awful live action cutscenes. Which is a bit weird seeing as how I'm too young to be nostalgic for FMV cutscenes.
EDIT: Running on very little sleep today and I almost forgot to mention that the Rise of the Triad remaster is A+ gold. They even added in cut content from beta versions as well as a whole new episode! -
Dang it, will! I'm trying to hate on AI here and you're making it harder by the minute!

I don't really buy that a corporation that gets over 1 billion in yearly revenue is worried about the costs of blood testing their employees, I think it's more of a media relations thing and keeping their product relatively "clean" by US television's strict standards. Standards which are still largely stuck in the days where concerned Christian parents were running rampant about their child hearing a curse word or a violent act on screen.
You'd be shocked at the dumb things corporations do to "maximize profit". Though I don't disagree that it's also likely an attempt to look "clean".

side note: I got a pet peeve with the war games matches just being a cage match where weapons get brought in. First of I think it needs a ceiling. Why wouldn’t a heel just exit the ring if not? Nothing happens if they forfeit. Also I find it bizarre that WWE says no to blood cause it’s “self mutilation”, but they allow people to actually be hit with weapons where you see welts and sore on the people’s bodies. Makes no sense to me. Blading seems safer than half the stuff people are doing these days.
My assumption is that they don't want to pay to run blood tests on the wrestlers before bloody matches to check for STDs and the like. Thus there's no legal issue for them if they wind up in a Bob Orton Jr. situation again because they can say that the performers "went rogue". Plus this way they can sell themselves to moralizers who are fine with people viciously bludgeoning each other so long as there's no blood or swearing.
As for Punk's return, I eagerly await the epic drama of him being back in WWE. Oh, and the on-screen storylines should be interesting too. -

I've only watched wrestling intermittently for the past six or seven years now and every time I think about really getting back into it, the (apologies for the twitter lingo here) stans and antis remind me that it's not even worth having an opinion on wrestling anymore. For as long as I've been a fan, there's always been that "Wrestling is garbage now, nothing like it was back in my day!", but now there's just a perpetual persecution complex with the loudest of fans that I don't even want to be associated.
