So the 16 box remains. If no one here takes it by say, 9pm Eastern, I'll be offering it to someone outside the forums. I'll take 16!

Kind of a complicated story, but I remember a situation that fits this topic.
I met Shawn Michaels at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that).
Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.”
My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. "I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?" Then out of nowhere Shawn Michaels shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.”
And I (being a big HBK fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.”
Shawn was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget.
Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galapagos, Shawn Michaels and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.

When taken at face value, yeah, it's probably okay. It's their product to do with what they want.
But when you factor in the number of times we've been told about the importance of connecting with the crowd, and Vince McMahon listening to the audience, it becomes kinda ethically shitty.

I liked the match, but I have to admit that I feel like they're trying to do some things in-ring that they shouldn't for their experience level.
Like, Charlotte's moonsault worked out fine, but I was cringing the whole time she was setting up for it expecting the worst. It looked like Sasha's dive nearly went south before she rotated at the last possible second. There were a few minor spots (the german suplex/sunset flip, for an example) that just didn't work due to them moving too fast or nerves or whatever.
Re-reading this it sounds like I'm super down on the match, but I really did like it. It's just the culmination of things I've noticed where sometimes people try to do too much too soon.

Roman Reigns got kicked in the balls tonight as well, what a good luck charm.

There's been others that I've enjoyed less, but overall it was just kinda boring. The only moments that stood out for me was Triple H's Warrior Skull Army Entrance w/ Dominatrix Queen Stephanie, and that spear that Steph took like a champ.
It was basically a Raw main event with production value.

Both were great, but Daniel Bryan got me emotionally invested in the product in a way that I haven't been since I was a kid.
As much as I enjoy Punk's work, Daniel Bryan's WWE career from beginning to end meant more to me on a personal level, so I'm giving the edge to him.

Reminds me of Ken from Street Fighter. I'm for it.

The Sandman was sooooo bad in his WWE run, but I still love him, so yes.
Added caveat that they have to switch entrances.

Giant Bomb is the best video game channel I've seen so far, easy to navigate, a fair degree of content that's updated regularly.

Anyone have any thoughts on Divinity: Original Sin? I'm considering picking it up, but I've never played any games of that style before. From what I've read it sounds interesting, but visually it doesn't do much for me.

I'm gonna play through some more of these over the next few days, if anyone has a free moment and is looking to play through some of mine (they're challenging, but I don't think they're unfair), that'd be swell:
Pow Block Puzzle Palace: 9925-0000-00C6-F711 Pow Block Puzzle Palace 2: 18A4-0000-00EA-0F33 Road Rage: 8EF8-0000-00D7-19A1
Thanks gang!

I used it a few years back, I found it pretty intuitive as a beginner who hadn't used Final Draft or anything comparable before.

Obviously Streets of Rage, Final Fight, all that good stuff. Urban Reign is a nice hidden gem. Urban Reign is fantastic, and probably the best translation of beat 'em ups into 3D that I've played.

8 goals in a Rocket League match last night. I saved the replay so that I could bask in my own crapulence.

Just got back from the east coast on a beer-centric trip.
Favorite beer: Allagash Curieux was amazing. Tasty Belgian that packs a kick.
Also managed to stop by the Dogfish Head Brewery. The facility was awesome, wouldn't recommend the tour.

Anyone else playing Rocket League? There's something so simple but addictive to it.

I got divebombed by a crow a week or two ago. I can sympathize.
