Sheen, OK I read rumblings of some of that stuff but without you bringing it up again. I forgot I saw that people were upset Chad Gable wasn't in that match. I like Zayn a lot but there is no way he is beating Gunther.

Those two women's matches should be great.

I think Zayn may have a chance if only because they may want to take the title off of Gunther to push him further, and they may have figured Zayn was the best choice. Which I get. Zayn is very over. That said, the most over person in the moment, especially considering the storyline, is Gable, so they missed an opportunity.

That said, yes, the women's matches should absolutely be great. Another underrated match I forgot about is Jey vs. Jimmy Uso. Jey is by and far away the more talented Uso, but I do expect the two of them to create a very fun match.

Deny. The only time I've ever enjoyed ranch is when it's in the "spicy ranch" variety from Taco Bell.

My first girlfriend was on Maury awhile after we broke up. True story.

I believe it. Maury, much like The People's Court, hires background people to play the part of friends/supporting witnesses/whatever. You don't even actually have to be the subject of the episode, you can just apply to play the "friend"/"witness"/etc. There's a Youtube channel of some guy who posted about his experiences playing a "witness" for like... 6? different people, on People's Court.

Nobody takes Maury seriously, even Maury. It's entirely a meme show.

Wrestlemania is this weekend and I know one match.

Outside of the Reigns/Cody stuff, the only matches I know of for sure are Rhea/Becky and Iyo/Bayley.

Feels kinda weird that the matches that feel the most well built are the women's.

Actually, I also know Sami Zayn vs. Gunther, since a lot of people were hoping for Chad Gable to be in the match.

well I did mark it and suggest they do that, so it's good they did.

Honestly, I wish it had stayed open, to continue to catch awful people.

It's crazy, having watched the PS5 board topic, on this. People basically lined up to get suspended/warned over this. Like, they witnessed people before them getting warned or suspended, and yet still entered the topic to post literally the exact same shit. It was just... Mind boggling. It looks like the topic had to be closed because people couldn't stop themselves from coming in just to act like total asses.

How did MadTV surpass SNL in being funny, yet was the one that died out?

Fox wasn't willing to give MadTV the budget it deserved, since they expected it to lose out to SNL due to lack of celebrity involvement.

EDIT: Also there are rumors that the Fox heads, at the time, looked down on MadTV for how diverse the cast was.

It's actually extremely difficult to automate excel. It's way easier and cheaper to put all that data into some kind of business intelligence software and automate that. If you have to specifically use Excel you're going to run into a lot of annoying bullshit including VBA which isn't useful anywhere outside of Microsoft office.

This. Excel, itself, requires an input method that isn't particularly conducive to being automated. It's easy to automate Excel-esque things, but if you want something done in Excel, specifically... At this point in time, it's easier to just hire somebody.

A non premeditated murder would be something like you started beating the shit out of me and I just happen to die. If you start with trying to kill me, that's always premeditated.

This is true, yes. If you planned to kill, no matter for how long, it's premeditated. The only time it's blatantly not premeditated is if you have a way to argue that you didn't expect death to occur from said actions, such as "I just pushed the guy, I didn't expect him to fall and hit a rock in a precise enough way that it broke his neck." Granted, there's also "crime of passion," but that gets more complicated.

Dragon Ball games as a while don't have licensing for DBS manga stuff. Iirc they also don't have licensing for stuff like voice lines so they have to rerecord those.

Yeah, it makes sense, the more you think about it. There's probably a reason the new Budokai game included a focus on Bergamo, of all characters, as a new addition to the series.

the chances of the glass breaking shouldn't be incredibly high. it should be plexiglass, which is even cheaper than regular glass and would have no chance of breaking from that.

a vending machine with breakable glass would be so easy to rob.

It SHOULD be, but it's not, for whatever reason. I'm not gonna pretend to know why they use real glass, I'll just say, yes, in a perfect world, your argument is completely correct. That said, we know they use real(ish?) glass, for whatever reason, since videos like this actually aren't all that uncommon.

I'm at the point where I just enjoy whatever I feel like enjoying on TV, and then the majority of the wrestling content I like comes from shit like Up Up Down Down, or blog channels like Asuka's and Danhausen's, and so on.

Skullgirls just got another DLC character added a few days ago. It came out in 2012.

Ooh, another good one. I know Skullgirls is a case where they wanted the DLC to be out a lot sooner, but things got delayed due to the legal battles, but... Screw it, I love it, anyway. More of this. They could have just canceled the remaining DLC, like similar games have, but they didn't.

Grand Theft Auto 5.

Eh, I'd argue that doesn't really count. They've only supported the online stuff, the main game itself hasn't really received support at all. Same thing for Red Dead Online.

It'd be like saying older Call of Duty games receive support because they support Warzone.

ScazarMeltex posted...

Yeah, in that aspect it's very much like WCW all over again.

It's really not, but a lot of people on the internet like to insist it is, for some reason.

thronedfire2 posted...

you really think the chance of the machine falling over and crushing you is higher if you jump kick it instead of standing right next to it?

The chances of the machine actually tipping over on you if you rock it like normal people do is pretty small, since your average person isn't strong enough to rock it that far. And if you're rocking it THAT far, then, yes... You should recognize the chances of it tipping over on you.

However, the chances of the glass breaking if you literally jump kick it are INCREDIBLY high, because it's not designed to take that kind of impact.

Tipping vs. glass breaking are two different things. The chances of it tipping from a normal rock are miniscule, and increase the more you rock it. However, the chances of glass breaking of you kick it is... Much, much higher.

thronedfire2 posted...

it's no dumber than the thousands of people who have rocked vending machines or stuck their arm up the window to get something

it just happens to be on the internet

Rocking the machine is a lot less dumb than jump kicking it, to be fair. Literally jump kicking the machine feels like... You should just know it's dumb. It's not like the shit is bulletproof glass or anything.

MarcyWarcy posted...

Pretty much. A lot of people seem to have this weird thing in their minds with wrestling where they worry way more about putting down "the enemy" than they do actually consuming and enjoying wrestling. The weird fed war people rarely seem like they actually watch a whole lot

Yeah. I'm just gonna enjoy what I enjoy, whether I "should" or not.

I enjoy the hell out of Roman Reigns, but also, yes, I'm ready for him to lose.

I love midcard shit like Awesome Truth and DIY.

I absolutely love the hell out of Danhausen, Orange Cassidy, and the Best Friends.

Judge me, I don't care. I just like what I like.

I bet they'll add characters that are present in the new Budokai but aren't in Xenoverse, such as Bergamo, since it appears they can't actually move forward to match the manga.

Irony posted...

Wish they'd add stuff from the Super manga but I guess there must be a licensing issue

Yeah, I did notice they're currently kinda doubling backwards on anime stuff. I bet they don't have licensing for the, so far, manga-exclusive stuff.

TMOG posted...

Rock Band 4 released weekly tracks for nine years, the longest stretch of the series. If you count songs going back to Rock Band 1 (since all DLC is forwards compatible) then it had a 17-year run of DLC, not counting the two-year hiatus between 3 and 4.

That's a good call. Rock Band's DLC is a LOT less involved than Xenoverse's, but it's still a fantastic note.

I love games being supported for so long.

This game released in 2016, and there's a new Dragon Ball game coming out soon... But instead of focusing on making people want to buy that, they're still releasing DLC for this nearly 8 year old game.

Has any other title ever lasted this long? This is kind of incredible.

MarcyWarcy posted...

internet wrestling fans are just really annoying and loud in general. its just this never ending string of total losers who want to feel like they have unlocked all the secrets of what makes punchgrabs good and absolutely have to tell you all about it in the most aggressive confrontational way ever, except 95% of their information is made up piecemeal by memes and things they've heard on podcasts

I've found it's honestly better to just be more of a "mark" than a "smark." Yes, sometimes it's fun to debate the inner workings online, but I honestly just enjoy the product more, whether it's WWE, AEW, or something else, when I just let myself go... Fuck it, I'm gonna enjoy what I'm gonna enjoy.

thronedfire2 posted...

...you guys really think he did that on purpose?

he was just trying to knock the bag of chips loose.

.....Yes, we know. People are laughing at the fact that it was a dumbass thing to do, and he faced consequences (breaking the machine and falling on his ass.)

Solid_Sonic posted...

I wish WWE would start letting heels shit on someone's dead relatives for heel heat like Christian did to Jungle Boy.

They've literally done that multiple times in the past several years. Very recently (as in like, it's happening right now), in fact.

I like how the person filming has a slight moment of clarity, immediately stopping filming once it breaks, but then they apparently lost that clarity and posted the video online.

thronedfire2 posted...

no I was pointing out that school children need more fiber in their diet.

I hope you actually tag me this time so I dont see you replying to me anymore. This is probably the 5th time in the last few months youve tried to goad me into an argument just so you could mark me for trolling

How can I mark you for trolling if you just never say stupid troll shit to begin with? Novel concept, right?

Ok to me it seems the largest obstacle for POC is within their own race. They are being oppressed by their own and don't even realize it! While The government just feeds off it and laughs their asses off. It's sad.

Ahh, and there it is.

Fair I can delete if you're not ready to have that convo

Nah, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

specialkid8 posted...

Why can y'all only respond in gotcha statements instead of having a fucking discussion? Grow up.

They tried to have a discussion by asking you for examples and you couldn't give any, so, uh... How were they supposed to have a discussion?

specialkid8 posted...

I can't think of any specific examples because they're such minor things. I don't keep track of them. But Doctor Who has done it quite a lot since the Moffat era.

"This is happening a lot and it's annoying. But also I can't actually give any examples."

So is it either not happening "a lot," or is it not actually annoying, to explain why you can't give examples?

Yeah I think it'd be wise to just back away from the topic for awhile.

haloiscoolisbak posted...

Less hostility.

...So, were you playing devil's advocate, or not? Because the entire point of playing devil's advocate is, you know, taking a contentious viewpoint to provoke people. Why would you not expect hostility on a subject like this, when it basically sounded like you were arguing not just against diversity, but in favor of MORE racism?

haloiscoolisbak posted...

No concept of devils advocate on this board

You literally chose to play devil's advocate against diversity with some of the most questionable posts in the topic. Not sure what you expected, really.

haloiscoolisbak posted...

What a cheeky misinterpretation of what I was trying to say.

I really don't think it was, considering what you followed it up with.

haloiscoolisbak posted...

I can't see how half the gang were marginalised though? Marston, Dutch, Arthur and Bill were white dudes who rob and kill people

They would be likely be racist people IRL and I guess I think it downplays what the era was like to show a happy smiling "we believe in equality" style criminal gang.

It was a racist time, show that. Make the characters flawed

Oh god I thought the last post was bad, but this argument is literally "This game isn't racist enough and should be more racist because there are a few characters who aren't openly racist and I feel they should be racist."

I just can't

haloiscoolisbak posted...

This absolutely can compromise the quality if hamfisted

Even Saving Private Ryan back in the day I thought seemed a little too evenly distributed with it's stereotypes within the squad, the Bronx Italian, the Jewish one, the religious hick etc

Just felt too "neat"

...Wow. Never thought I'd see somebody so against diversity that a group of all white guys with different backgrounds was still too much for them.

Naysaspace posted...

there are gf reddits??

Yeah, you'd really like it there, they whine about the same kinds of things you do.

He's just literally trolling about racism, at this point. Wild.

Women get attacked, one murdered, and yet somebody comes in to whine about sexism against men. Oh boy.

...I am calm? I'm having my own laugh at TC. Why so upset?

Speaking of, what makes it even more amusing is that Rousey also quit WWE when they had her lose to Shayna Baszler, basically claiming she had to retire for medical reasons... Only to come back to a smaller pro wrestling company that was willing to let her compete without ever losing.

AbstraktProfSC2 posted...

its nothing like that at all?
Theres rankings in UFC that mean things

She literally dropped weight to compete in an underdeveloped division, and then as soon as the competition actually started to improve, she... Got her ass kicked. And then once she got her ass kicked, she basically ran away. She literally couldn't take losing, even once.

The key point I'm making is this: The only thing we know, for sure, is he is doing this:

Years after the controversy, Rittenhouse is now promoting The Rittenhouse Bundle from Armored Republic. According to the Arizona-based company, Rittenhouse designed the package, which includes a Testudo Gen 3 armor vest, ceramic body armor, a multi-caliber rifle magazine triple pouch, trauma pads, and a hydration pouch.

Whether he was scared or not in the moment, he is, quite literally, trying to profit off of the fact that he killed people.

It's not worth it to argue in his favor for... Anything.

lolife67 posted...

Yes, I misspoke. I was trying to set he isn't just a stone cold killer.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. We don't know.

What we do know is that he is quite literally selling himself and grifting off of the idea that he is a stone cold killer, so I'm not sure he deserves the benefit of the doubt that you seem so determined to give him.

lolife67 posted...

That was literally my first post and what I've been discussing ever since. You'd have to go back and re-read the topic to see why.

You said he "isn't some killer."

He is, quite literally, a killer. By law, by public opinion, no matter what way you slice it.
