Happy Death Day was a pretty awful horror movie, and a worse mystery movie. But it was at least watchable on the strength of the actors (especially Jessica Rothe).

Really glad that they're going the Evil Dead route and turning up the comedy/absurdity for this one.

...is this a joke?

The original was always a horror comedy and never tried to be a super serious mystery movie.

Why would you want to be there and maybe incur the wrath of the Mothman?

Because Mothman is dope as hell and my favorite monster.

The dude just hangs out where catastophe are going to happen with his glowy red eyes and then watches it all go down. He doesn't do anything but just watch horrible crap happen. That's great!

Also, Fallout 76 has actually made Mothman a more popular thing. Since announced, I've had two people ask me if I own my Mothman shirt because of the game.

I actually go to the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, WV every year, and Bethesda sent some people there with like two days notice. It was still the busiest it's ever been (and super unfortunate they had flooding because it was the most disappointing it's ever been). They gave out free swag to people and ran out of stuff pretty quickly. I only wanted this amazing Mothman/Fallout poster they were selling. It is currently on my wall.

But you could tell everyone fucking hated being there from Bethesda, and they wanted to leave so badly. I know some of it is because of how hot it was (record breaking for the festival) but I think a lot of them just didn't want to be there to begin with.

Because they had an idea of getting Charlotte over which was to make her diet Becky Lynch, which is promptly destroyed after she has to do one promo of Becky telling Charlotte that she had to be diet Becky Lynch to have any sort of success right now.

I cannot honestly believe they had Charlotte be a rip off of Becky and then they just had her go right back to trying to compete with Becky. This booking is so dumb.

205 matches died on raw. i've no idea how you could think that's a good idea. maybe as a viewer who desperately wants one good 15 minute match a week on raw, but otherwise it's just guaranteed murder of the cruiserweights unless they start presenting them differently.

They died on Raw because they were poorly booked or so short that it was impossible to care about.

There were maybe one or two cruiserweight matches ever on Raw that were on par with the stuff that was on 205 Live every week. I will never understand why they didn't have the blow off matches for feuds early on in 205 Live on Raw. If you gave them those killer feud-ending matches on Raw, people would care much more.

Everything they did with the cruiserweights on Raw was completely harmful to getting them over. Obviously if they do what they were doing before it would suck, but if they put forth an effort to actually put on entertaining stuff, it would be better. What do they seriously have to lose at this point when you have freaking No Way Jose vs Jinder Mahal in its place or another heat segment where we are expected to hate a heel over and over and over?

What I don't get is how you just don't have 205 Live matches on Raw again. And like, actually let then have the quality matches they have on their show on Raw. Because that will at least start to get over on a show where literally everything else is piss boring and impossible to care about. It's not like it will be a ratings killer now.

This however, is just incorrect.

I guess if you just want more time in your day to layabout. Maybe if you have something in particular you like to spend hours of your time doing like a club or something, but if it's just more time to hang out, it's worth sacrificing to help your long-term future.

I take a bus for an hour into the city to and back everyday. My girlfriend drives an hour to work every day for her job she hates every day. I don't have any sort of sympathy for people not willing to go a distance for a better job.

This stuff sucks though. The commute is a big deal and saps your life. This is why being open to moving is really important too (not to a big city or anything, that's a fallacy too).

My girlfriend needs to work at that school for this last year to get $15k off her student loans. I got a good opportunity in the city that I moved for. We picked a place closest in the middle. But it's a busy city, so you're just going to have a 45 minute to an hour commute every morning.

Adding two hours of commute to our day does not hurt it at all. We have tons of time to still work out, make food, and hang out and still get 8 hours of sleep. If you get a big opportunity to better yourself and make more money, it is absolutely fine to add on a commute like that. It's just a sacrifice and you have to make them sometimes to better your position in life.

Hell, I may be moving across the country next year for a big opportunity to double my salary. I'm not thrilled about that aspect, but long term it's the best move and it isn't going to be a thing forever.

A little more tough love.

A small town is really no excuse. Drive for a while if you have to for a better opportunity. Don't tell us this is the best you can have going for you. GameStop cannot be the only retail store within 45 minutes driving distance from you.

Forget a dream job. That's a dream job. We all have it and we all want it and eventually you may be able to. But you are literally just sabotaging yourself if you aren't going and looking for a better job. Hell, push for regional or something man. You can surely do a better job of it than the goon currently running your region.

I take a bus for an hour into the city to and back everyday. My girlfriend drives an hour to work every day for her job she hates every day. I don't have any sort of sympathy for people not willing to go a distance for a better job.

It really just feels like this is what's comfortable and you're settling, and that just sucks man. You don't have the credit to take out a loan for that dream? Well then get yourself a better job man and make more money and get your credit right. As far as I'm concerned, there is no excuse.

Why are you still working as a store manager at GameStop dude?

I'll be blunt because honestly, with your shitty situation you can use bluntness. You have tons of retail experience as a manager. You can work anywhere with better pay and benefits. You should be trying to move forward with your career and your life dude. Always move forward. If you're not looking for something better already, look for it today. Why would you throw away money on a GameStop store manager job?

Hell, why are you protecting this inept loser who is your regional manager? Roast this fucker. Tell your higher ups what you had to do and how screwed you and your store are now as a result. Then maybe they'll at least promote you to his job sooner than later since you're reliable and have been through some shit.

Like dude. You can obviously do better than this. I don't know you personally but you've always seemed like a good guy to me, so I'm telling you as an outsider who would hope for the best for you: improve your career asap. You will love what happens and kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

My PC is in my room which I do not game in. If I don't get the Steam Link I will literally never play any of the dozens of games I own on Steam. I already quit Trails in the Sky because I hate playing on PC so much, this is the only shot it has.

I should also say that if you don't use a wired connection it is spotty sometimes. For games like Trails it will be fine, but for anything with a decent bitrate, it becomes choppy.

From what I hear, after Charlotte's brutal, wicked beatdown in which she snapped a chair over Ronda's neck, Ronda came out smiling, not selling a thing.

Which... God damn, how do you do something like that and have it completely no sold? Who could possibly give a shit about Charlotte's attack now?

I mean they will literally not interact any time soon thanks to the brand sep so in all honesty it really doesn't matter.

Think Punk/Rock all those years ago.

So then why do such a brutal and ruthless attack if nothing will be followed up for months and it will be no sold entirely the following day?

(lots of text about high summoners)

honestly that was more interesting than anything I've read on the wiki

maybe you should go work for riot...

True story: I honest to god almost applied to work for them with a portfolio with scripts and ideas and concepts.

Then they announced they were going to ditch the Summoner's Rift being canon and I said this is absolutely absurd and this company is so dumb for this. And then I saw maybe one or two of the lore change stories after and went "wow this shit is bad" and abandoned the idea completely.

In the long run it worked out because I may have had to work with Anthony Burch, and I'd rather be homeless.

Okay, I wasn't sure if you were serious or not. Lol Thanks for clarifying the meme. It just blows my mind that the most media mainstream thing we have for League now are just commercials on TV well after it's been in it's prime. Unless they are in their prime now and I'm missing it.

Small indie company bro

As if they haven't had tons of people banging down their doors begging to work with them to create media for one of the most popular video games of the modern generation. Small indie company works for their game, but the idea that they couldn't work with other companies to create like a TV show or something is nuts.

I find that weird, the summoner story actually seemed like something that would make writing characters more flexible, not less.

What else would be a reason for all those people from completely different backgrounds to be there killing each other in organized matches?

I thought it brought more sense to the story. It gives somebody like Vel'Koz an excuse to be around. He gets roped into it as a promise that he will gain as much wisdom as he wanted. Or give Renekton and Brand the story that they must be contained for being too beastly and that they will be used as penance for their crimes.

I always felt that the high summoners were woefully underutilized. I always invisioned them as the Guardians from Green Lantern. Just a bunch of stuck up assholes who want to run the world. They keep this world in order by doing these summoning rift games and everyone is basically at the mercy of them begrudgingly. On the outside, they seem good natured, but they do shady shit like bringing around fucking Renekton from another universe instead of putting his ass down so they can just ship him off to compete for the highest bidder in the summoning rift games.

And then you could have a story (ahahahaha) if they ever decide to branch out their highly successful series into literally any other medium where eventually these creatures can escape or do escape. Like if something like Vel'Koz gets out, shit gets real. Because you have this nigh godly creature looking to vaporize anyone to gain knowledge, and he needs to be locked back up immediately. Or, again, Renekton escapes and goes on another butcher rampage and Nasus needs to put him back in line. Instead we get this dumb shit where they have static stories, nothing changes, and it's impossible to actually give a shit because it has nothing to do with the world our game is in.

You have all these relationships and rivalries and none of them matter because there is nothing done with them. I would have killed to see a Jinx vs. Vi and Caitlyn story where Viktor is funding Jinx's insane new scheme for his own agenda and Jayce gets involved to help out his buddies Caitlyn and Vi.

Or a big story about Leona and Diana's rivalry, where Diana just goes back and butcher's the sun tribe while Pantheon and Leona must defend it. They have so much they can do with this universe and these characters, but there's no ramifications for any of it.

They could be the biggest company in the fucking world if they were proactive at all with anything. League would be more than a household name right now. And kids would be walking around with dumb Teemo dolls everywhere. But Riot cannot get their shit together enough to have capitalized on any of this half a decade ago when they were at their most popular.

Side note: my worse week ever. If I get 100 points this week it will be fortunate. God, I had Eric Ebron with 0 points, the Carolina kicker with -2 points somehow, and Chargers defense with 2 points. So basically it was like three people on my team didn't score a single point.

It's still such a stupid move to make, and I maintain they're hack writers if they can't make that work, especially since their excuse was that it was too constricting and all of the stories they've told since haven't needed the summoner lore to be removed.

Listening to Doug Lackey's review, and he keeps saying Becky might miss Wrestlemania, has anyone else heard anything about that? I'm thinking he might just be full of shit.

He also seems to be a Becky hater, so that could be part of it. He keeps praising Nia for what happened, criticizing the booking for not taking advantage of that (I guess I can understand that part), and saying that things were so much better with Charlotte there instead of Becky.

Edit: Apparently the reason Joe got eliminated so quickly is because he has some knee issues, and they were planning on writing him out of TV for a while, so he's not in the doghouse. Really hope that one is true, Joe should have a long title run.
