I grew up on wrestling, but haven't actively watched in nearly ten years now. The Benoit murders were kind of the final straw for me. I still find it interesting, and occasionally go to PPV parties at a friend's place, but I just can't bother following it week to week anymore.

Also:

There were four different Cold-Weather Guys. Snow Job was in a bunch of episodes and was a white dude with a ginger beard. Iceberg showed up later and was a clean-shaven black guy. The joke is that he grew up in Texas and became a snow trooper because he hated hot weather.

I'd love to see something like that, and I'd love it to include the Frankie Goes to Hollywood video game as an example of an early attempt to intentionally create "art" within the video game space.

It's very console heavy, and 4X games have never really worked on consoles.

You are being too hopeful, I imagine. (that being said, a "video game hall of fame" that doesn't eventually get around to Twisted Metal 2 is full of shit.)

There really ought to be a 4X game here. Civ II or Starcraft or SOMETHING.

Yeah. AB was a game changer for mobile phones as a gaming platform. That's undeniable.

You need at least one classic JRPG - let's say FFIII, and a classic Western RPG - maybe an Ultima?

It's seriously displeasing that there's only three PC games on here. Civilization is an obvious absence here, as is anything remotely resembling an RPG. Final Fantasy? Baldur's Gate? Fallout? C'mon.

Huh, I thought it was a The Americans joke about how Martha is Hollywood Homely, even though she's clearly fucking gorgeous. Same thing with Meredith, I guess?

yeah, this is it. they set us up for GETTING THE BAND TOGETHER ONE LAST TIME and nope, that trick doesn't fly anymore and everyone knows it EXCEPT the band themselves.

Faygo - A Coen Brothers Film.

Those farmers aren't going to keep voting for us if we don't pay them, dude.

Sorry, you gotta get new business cards, because "Shape" is way funnier than "taste".

I think it's safe to say that while all cops are potentially suspect these days, cops in a small Southern town are perhaps doubly if not triply so.

There's at LEAST a Master's thesis in the transformation of Harry Crane over the run of the show - he goes from arguably the kindest person in the office (doting husband, generally doesn't fuck secretaries, etc) to possibly the worst person on the show.

When I was a 22 year old AP it was hilarious. Now I mostly just feel sorry for the woman.

Worked in a TV newsroom for three years and change. Favorite "blooper" was actually kind of sad and not from our station. Another station in our corporate family had a reporter do a stand up from a homeless shelter on Christmas Day, because what better to make the folks at home feel like shit?

I am feeling "Wolfgang Amadeus Mariokart".
