Man, this was... a weird PPV. By the time they were cutting to Miz and Angle talking about tomorrow night’s Miz TV sequence, it felt like a garden variety Raw episode more than a PPV.

It feels like Trek. It gives us a cast of interesting, flawed characters in a time of uncertainty with a mission and a direction. It gives us a sense of scale and awe both visually and philosophically, and has a wide canvas to explore. It’s got neat-o gee-whiz tech, better effects than ANY prior Trek series (Klingon

There’s plenty of great wargames made just in the past 5 years alone that are bringing new ideas and systems to the table, even in a hex-and-counter paradigm (and the advent of solo card-driven AI has helped many a wargamer continue to enjoy the hobby even though the audience may be thinner).

Yeah, I weep for AH too. It was (similar to Terra Nova) one of those shows that picked up hugely in the last 4 or 5 episodes when the cast started clicking and the worldbuilding expanded along with the promise of a larger story.

I agree, and I suspect somewhere he’s gnashing his teeth over Fuller pulling out of Star Trek: Discovery.

Personally I’m just waiting for it to catch up so I can go find that crowdsourced Law and Order episode we did as the commentariat years ago.

Bonus points for Hasselhoff pointing out that Nick Fury was played by David Hasselhoff.

40 *million* annually?!?

So, I keep seeing this advertised as being from WWE Studios; are there any wrestlers in this movie, or was this strictly a financing deal?

This... I... what?

Thanks a bunch!

Follow-up to my own comment: what the hell, bold tags don’t work here?

For me it’ll be getting deeper into <b>Observer</b>, a deliciously atmospheric cyberpunk/horror game that isn’t quite what you think it is. Bonus points for getting to listen to Rutger Hauer deliver lines as the protagonist!

David Tennant, possessor of the world’s greatest Scottish accent? I mean... it’s grand and all, but there’s a Mr. Capaldi on line 1 who’d like to speak to you. He didn’t say what it was about, but it sounded like “fuckity-bye”.

I swear, every time I see a comment by a username I recognize from before the Kinjapocalypse it’s like finding a fellow castaway on the deserted island. I mentally jump for joy at not feeling as alone. I missed y’all.

Credit where it’s due, the KFC commercial shown during SummerSlam this past weekend with Shawn Michaels as the Colonel and R. Truth asking, “what audition?” was pretty goddamn funny.

So, uh, checking in post-Kinjapocalypse. Is there any way on God’s green earth to scroll to the bottom of an article and NOT have it immediately jump to the next freaking one just as I’m about to click the “Comments” button? It’s incredibly annoying.

She’s been pretty darned great in Longmire the last 4 seasons.

1) Pro wrestling. It's silly soap opera with pretend fighting and ridiculous characters, but it's the perfect tonic to a lot of the everyday stresses of life - work, politics, bills, and the like. It lets me shut off the rational side of my brain and enjoy some overheated drama and sometimes amazing physical feats.

I bet people in Ye Olden Tymes were saying the same thing about those morons naming their kids "Arthur" and "Morgan" and "Robin".
