    I'm glad this game is getting negative reviews, because yeah…there doesn't seem to be anything terribly interesting about it. It was amusing to see people's expectations deflate more and more as this became less of a "next-generation game" and more of just another dull GTA clone. (Sleeping Dogs was the best open-world

    HG101 needs actual standards, something beyond what even a good copy editor can do.

    I won't pretend I'm as remotely sociable as many people, but shows like this are just…yeah. I'm sometimes confused and frustrated/sad for those who demand the cultural norm and force themselves to pay stupid amounts of money to achieve that "norm".

    And the biggest problem is that WWE continues to try their hardest to sell themselves as not wrestling in order to try and break away from the stigma. It's just not happening. People know that you specialize in wrestling and will continue to look down on wrestling. Calling it something else doesn't make it that. (It

    TAR being moved to Fridays? Weird. With that said, the super positive to this is the show can no longer be pushed back due to weekend sports. However, wow…Friday is something of a death slot - is this a sign? I know the show hasn't been super great the past few seasons, but it's still watchable and a great way to

    It's funny, because the first game in that series was a perfectly normal, quaint WWII game on PC. I even enjoyed it back then for what it was. But wow, now it's the series that just won't go away, to the point where I think it's forever jaded video game taste in a dangerously wrong direction. I'm not suggesting people

    And I get that for sure. Upon thinking about it, there is a person or two I know that probably fits your quota for being an insufferable (and loud!) sports fan, and for that I'd agree. (Those people also have a large tendency to be completely full of crap on many, many other topics!) I have a good friend who's a good

    - Ignorance (especially proud ignorance) of general news/pop culture. (Exceptions can vary, but notably overplayed news stories and/or news stories that are depressing. I admit I've tuned out large portions of the Ukraine situation because it's just too morbid for me.) I don't expect you to know everything about

    Nintendo is becoming increasingly more difficult to defend. I like their smaller games, I like the idea they aren't jumping at the big, mostly terrible, trends of current gaming. I like that their games have a pleasant charm to them that makes me not embarrassed to play video games.

    Somewhat. I think the many things Go-Bus tried to do to change up the formula didn't quite stick, and it still had similar trope problems such as relying too much on child actors and monsters of the week. It was a more "grounded" show, that's for certain. (Especially compared to wacky as all-out Kyoryuger with samba

    I'll be the sentai nerd here and overthink this to a great extreme.

    But, but…you should have the freedom to be walked over all by corporations, especially the ones who could previously deny you coverage for no reason!

    It's basically a giant wrestling era podcast cabal at this point. It started with video podcast OSWReview (which expanded to also talking about wrestling moments once they caught up on the entire Hulkamania era), then AEP, then the New Generation Podcast (which is fine, if super low-key compared to OSW and AEP) and a

    "…and I got the fat guy!"
    "Oh, that's not the fat guy." "THAT'S the fat guy."

    This series is great. I really liked how someone managed to sell a kids' cable network on a show that had episodes centered on incredibly mundane tasks. Like the driver's ed/DMV episode. Or the episode where Rocko has everything go wrong while he tries to take advantage of a supermarket sale. Or the fact one of the

    That's enough, Hollywood.

    This will fail miserably. Wrestling will never experience the same hot period it did during the 80s and the late 90s because of multiple elements, primarily because any owner of a new fed will be so full of themselves that they'll never hire anyone but 'yes' people to create the product. Just look at TNA, a promotion

    Never mind how terrorizing the Ice Cream Bunny was…how about EVERYTHING in that whole "feature"?

    Quite honestly, if these shows ran endlessly forever in syndication without any new episodes, would the viewers notice?

    Oh, if someone could just throw western Iowa so far into the sky it landed beside western Nebraska and then somehow the Omaha-Lincoln area merged with the rest of Iowa, well…now we'd be talking.
