Another of my current weirdo faves is Unmatched. It's the ultimate board game version of kids on a playground imagining who would win in a fight between their favourite heroes, except it's taken to the most extreme absurdities. Like, have you ever wondered who would win if Nikola Tesla fought Bigfoot and his friend the Jackalope? Or who would win in a clash of fisticuffs between Bruce Lee and a T-Rex? Or how about if Buffy the Vampire Slayer, teamed up with The Invisible Man, and Sinbad the Sailor to stop Mothman from blowing up bridges? You can do that too. It's dumb, and it's amazing, and I love it. not a board game but I have a card game that's similar called Superfight. Each person draws a person/object/whatever card, and a super power, the person to your left places a weakness on your character and the judge chooses who would win in a fight. (there are also expansions for adding locations or events as well) One of my favorite power cards is "you are figuratively on fire ...also literally" One of the other players in my DnD game has mentioned owning Superfight, so I may get a chance to play it sometime.

Whatever happens, it'll be interesting to see what sort of returns she delivers on, because I feel like we never got a good feel of her potential outside the fed with her injury last year.

He USED to be a piece of shit, he's not anymore I'm worried that Hangman Adam Page thinks Swerve Strickland can't change Don't worry, next time we see Hangman he'll have arrived at a scene where Swerve's car was run off the road, wearing a hotdog suit, trying to find the guy who did this.

Anything involving Owen Hart and Over The Edge 99. WWE spend the last 2 decade gaslighting their audience into thinking that Martha Hart was in the wrong for her not wanting to work with the company or have anything to do with them. Also the fact they sued Martha for breach of contract on Owen's behalf is up there with the most scummy things they've ever done.

I had a games night over the weekend and we ended by playing a few games of Azul. Now there's nothing super weird about the game itself... by my god, you try and sell a game themed around Portuguese bathroom tiling without everyone's eyes simultaneously glazing over in record setting time.

I hadn’t realized KK was a Q-chud. So that’s fun.

I remember his catchphrase: “You are SOL and you know what THAT means!” So edgy! That was up there with Hogan's FUNB vest that left this young fan pretty confused at the time.

The main problem with Monopoly is that it's not fun.
The only reason I'd ever suggest playing it on a games night was if I was trying to get people to leave... So I guess in a way it could be useful to own a copy.
Honestly Monopoly Deal is the only version worth playing.

I regret to inform you that Zack Snyder is back on his bullshit: Is Zack like pilled up or something? What is he talking about with that god stuff, I genuinely don't know where that's coming from? His rationale would be similar to arguing that Spider-Man should fly, because he needs to, or whatever. Having limitations and constraints placed in writing and creativity is what leads to unique stories and characters feeling special. There's nothing wrong with telling a story of a Batman who kills, but they A) tend to be secondary elseworld stories that exist in contrast to the nature of the character as known in the mainstream consciousness, and B) have a message or point behind beyond: "something, something, god;" or as I actually believe his thinking actually is: "but I wanna!"

Unmatched is one of my current favorites. It basically plays like games kids would imagine in school about what if x fought y, who would win. Except over half the historical/mythical figures aren’t even fighters n the traditional sense… or any sense really.
For example some of the characters you can put against each other in bloody combat are Nikola Tesla, Little Red Riding Hood, Bigfoot, Bloody Mary, Sherlock Holmes, Harry Houdini, the Genie of the Lamp, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a pack of Velociraptors, William Shakespeare, Bruce Lee, and a whole lot of others.
But wait, there’s more. Don’t want to play a tabletop version of epic battle simulator? Then how about teaming up your characters to stop Mothman from blowing up bridges, or fend off a Martian invasion, cause you can do that too.

My thought is that brains aren't so great.
I mean, if they were then why do we hide them under our skulls and stuff?

He looks like what you’d get if you ordered an off-brand Great Muta.
I’ll call him Gleat Muta.

I remember getting 'The Crow' soundtrack (which is still pretty great) the day it came out, but the movie was not that good, IMO. Like a C+ at best. Honestly that album is by far the best thing to come out of the franchise.

When I was a kid Sting was my favourite. Just by pure happenstance, I had the luck to happen to be live at the Mania he wrestled at which was neat. I'm also really glad that after all these years, he's one of the few wrestlers I was a big time genuine fan of who didn't end up being a dipshit... That probably should be faint praise, but we all know what pro wrestling is.

Match begins, Roman spears Cody and pins him immediately.
As Reigns is celebrating we hear Cody on the mic laughing. He posits that Roman didn't read the contract for the match because it stated the spear was banned, and also that the title could change hands on a DQ. Cody celebrates with the belt, and everyone feels confused.

I just don't see the connection between what Heyman's background or beliefs have to do with a post he made that clearly was about trying to tie a real life event into making it all about himself. If it had been some sort of emotionally charged statement or reaction, then I could see that being a defence as to why he shared it. But nothing about this seems to point towards the guy feeling like he needs to stand up for anything beyond his own hubris.
