I am sure the Yinzer Hot Takes machine is gearing up for a sports talk radio blitz in the coming days. Calls for him to be traded will be clogging up the lines.

FOr those that do not follow New Japan, Shibata’s career is one of the more interesting stories in professional wrestling, and almost plays out like an old samurai movie.

Greg Brown and Bob Walk gets into a verbal tussle at least three times a week during the season. It is amazing that Root Sports Pittsburgh or the Pirates have not stepped in and did something about this.

That Tracer had the character’s voice down pat. I heard her speak while wandering the hallway near the AFK Room, and I thought it was a recording until I heard her again. Blew me away.

It still blows my mind that an industry that thrives on “adopting” gameplay mechanics that are well-made, and well-received, to shoehorn into every AAA game imaginable has done nothing with the Nemesis system.

Now that he finally got that EVO title at Marvel, I was hoping that Chris would jump in with both feet at Street Fighter. He was doing some cool stuff with FANG early last year, and he really took to Guile when he made the switch.

Brings me back to the Goldshire Inn brothels days in World of Warcraft.

Gee golly, I wonder who will get cut more? The folks that went to school to pursue a professional career in broadcast journalism, or the former athletes that barely manage to put together two consecutive coherent thoughts?

The “collecting” aspect of toy buying has come on hard since the action figure and doll segments have been nosediving in the last decade.

Drew is one of the most talented video producers in gaming. It has been an absolute treat to witness his work as a fan of Giant Bomb since he took a seat behind the camera. He always had the technical chops, but it was great to see her personality evolve over to the years.

The fact that they are having trouble simply nailing down a tournament schedule highlights the deficiency of Valve.

I really dig this “real world test drive” approach you took with the system.

It is obvious that Nintendo is pushing out a feature-poor system before the end of their current fiscal year. They are banking on a successful launch, plus the mobile numbers, to make the end of the year books look spectacular.

Most of these comedy shots are from a promotion called DDT, Dramatic Dream Team. This the promotion that had Kota Ibushi fight a blow up doll to a four star match, and Kenny Omega wrestled a little girl to a time limit draw. The largest Japanese promotion,

Of course it was stolen. Someone probably sneaked a case of them out of a distribution center and sold them.

Little collectible toys aimed at preteens that look like the come out of a twenty-five cent machine are the magic formula for something that is next to impossible to find during the holidays.

There has been tricks to figure out which packs had good cards in them. When YuGiOh was huge, people were weighing the individual packs of cards because the special insert cards weighed a little bit more than a normal card.

Flooding the market with proprietary plastic is a great way to burst any fad’s bubble. It happened, to a small extent, at the end of the Wii’s lifecycle, and it happened with instrument based rhythm games.

While it may not seem “right” for an EVO to happen without Marvel, I was really hoping that the ninth game would have been something different.

That loss is 100% on the coaching staff. After that insane catch by Julio Jones the ball was on NE’s 22 yard line. All they had to do was run the ball three times, and kick the field goal. Time gets chewed up, they get a 11 point lead, and they are the ones celebrating. Kyle Shanahan continues to prove that he is in…
