The opening segment with Cena and HHH was actually pretty good. Swagger/Rusev was awesome, I'm surprised to see both guys pretty over. Although I'm not sure if Rusev just has X-Pac heat/it's still mostly just Lana, but I actually like him a lot, thought his match with Big E was good last night.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Then could you explain to me what people love (to hate) about this guy? Every time he comes out I just see the Bulgarian version of Vladimir Kozlov. And the "Russia number one" crap makes me feel like I'm stuck in the 80's.</p><p> </p><p> EDIT: For that matter, why is a man from Bulgaria, a nation that was only communist for the first four years of his life and doesn't even border Russia, playing a Russian nationalist? Do we want to get a Bahamian in the ring and have him play an All-American?</p>

Marked out for the RamPaige. After Naomi's performance I'm a little disappointed she didn't win the title. If AJ isn't returning soon are they going to keep this feud going while they build up Summer as a threat?</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Really? Paige got in like, four moves and continued to look like a fluke champion. Seriously, what is the point of even showing us NXT if nothing about the characters carry over?</p>

I enjoyed the first tag match and the first MitB match, everything else just bored me out of my mind.

Jesus Christ! Jeff must be in a constant haze from painkillers (and likely other assorted drugs) to do something that stupid! So what's the point of even bringing the six sides back? TNA spent the last four years convincing their fans that the traditional ring was better and then they just go back to six sides. It's like committing to a concept is pure horror for management.

Personally, I don't get why people care so damned much on either side. Does stuff like this fix racist and classist divides in the US? But at the same time, I don't see why the team name or various emblems matter so much. Teams change logos all the time, and as the Pelicans have shown, name changes don't really affect much either. I'm Vikings fan and I wouldn't give two shits if they changed their name or logo (as long as they don't move to LA).</p><p> </p><p> I'm kinda stuck in this middle ground where I sort of understand both sides, I don't get why they care so much about so little.</p>

As someone who has Native American blood in her and a fan of the team I'm annoyed. I don't find the term offensive and reading things that people are saying makes me ponder things. You have trams with names such as Chiefs, Braves, and Indians who's logo is a red active American depiction yet they fought to be called native Americans. <p> </p><p> Now I wonder if the state of Oklahoma will be asked to change their name...</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Well first, I've seen people complain about the Indians' logo, but it's baseball, so no one really cares.</p><p> </p><p> Second, those other names aren't slurs. And, as archaic as it is, redskin is one. It's the difference between having a team called the Samurai, and a team called the Japs.</p><p> </p><p> Sure it sucks that the team you love has to change its identity, but this has been a contentious issue for years and clearly enough people think it should change. Besides, they'll probably just change the name to the Indians or something like that. Personally, I'm pulling for Potomac.</p>

My biggest concern is whether or not BioWare can make an fun open world to explore without hurting the story aspects. Bethesda sure as hell can't (except the lore materials, seriously, the writer of those things should be writing the rest of the game).</p>

I hope we get some resolution to the Warden/Morrigan god child. I hope he ends up as the protagonist of DA4 or something and has Warden, Hawke, and The Inquisitor as his backup. It probably won't happen but the idea is just badass.<p> </p><p> I also found Carver more interesting than Bethany as there really wasn't much of a relationship between Hawke and Bethany. Carver at least has that living in the shadow angst thing going while Bethany doesn't really have much apart from informed respect that doesn't really come through.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Oh dear God I hated Carver, he just wouldn't...stop...whining! I get that he had inferiority problems, but for ****'s sake there were more important things going on than his big brother being better than him.</p>

Is it really much of a swear anymore in the States? I never even heard it until I started watching British comedies.

<p>OK, finally finished Mass Effect 3. And its ending is the video game equivalent to End of Evangelion. Basically the last ten minutes are nothing but a bunch of existentialist bullshit that barely makes any sense, even with the Extended Cut and all the DLC. TBH, I can't think of one time I ever enjoyed the ending to any work of fiction, so maybe it's just me, but I still love the rest of the game (though it could have used a few more months of polish) and the rest of the series.</p><p> </p><p> I think Mass Effect is a series everyone should give a try, just understand that the ending isn't very satisfying and it really needs the DLC to be complete (which is also BS). I'll still buy the next game, I mean come on, what could really go wrong? They make another Dragon Age II? </p><p> </p><p> ...forget I said anything.</p><p> </p><p> (Wait, I liked DA2...)</p>

I even solo the MMOs I play.</p>

I wish I had remembered to watch Raw now. Stardust is exactly what Cody needed, and anyone who uses the diamond dust is a winner in my book.

Fire Emblem Awakening, Etrian Odyssey Untold, MegaTen IV, Mario 3D World, Inazuma Eleven, Project X Zone & Pushmo are also good incentive to get a 3DS. I've never played Binding of Isaac, is it as pretentious as other indie darlings (Braid, for instance)?

<p>If anybody can't wait to lose all their money on the Steam sale, GamersGate is already doing their own sale.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="http://www.gamersgate.com/" rel="external nofollow">http://www.gamersgate.com/</a></p><p> </p><p> I've used GamersGate for years and it's always been a good alternative to Steam.

With guys like Bo and Tyler Breeze, we might be looking at a renaissance of cocky heels in WWE.
