It would have been some Atari game. We got a NES in 88 or 89 I think when I would have been 5 or 6, but we had an Atari before that, so I must have played something on that.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Kurt with the swords was excellent. Not quite X2 level but excellent. There were some good moments and I am generally enjoying things. It's just kinda crazy to think how optimistic things started out. Yes Magneto was taking over the school but otherwise the X-men were in a good place, mutants were starting to be accepted. However, a few decades of reading comics taught me that the people in charge will never allow mutants to be accepted for long before reasserting the status quo. It's kinda like how they never let Spider-man be successful or happy too long because that isn't the Spider-man they grew up with. I guess I'm kinda over mutants being hated. That said, I'll definitely catch the rest of the season. Just curious to see where we end up and it the end is as dreary as it seems it might be.

Just remember that when you call Rey a deadbeat dad, you're agreeing with JBL. Think long and hard on that.

So much talk about his hairline. He’s become LeBraun Strowman. It wasn't even just the hairline, it was also the random shaved bits on the side while also being kinda unruly in the back and then the hairline. It's like they started shaving and then he realized he was behind schedule and just cancelled the rest of the haircut.

Having managers turn a meeting to discuss problems between two of our workers into an attack on us. Also them basically admitting they will protect a highly problematic employee because they're scared of them suing. This is a person who should have been fired years ago. Instead I got attacked by HR for doing my job.

I don't know what the crap was up with his hair but it's terrible.

…….getting drafted alongside man. Thing is, Carlito still being in the LWO after last week is so on brand for the LWO. They're the worst faction ever. They're just honouring their roots. The WCW LWO ended up being the worst faction ever too.

I'm racking my brain and I can't really think of anything I've bought twice. I've thought about rebuying some golden age squaresoft stuff and maybe the mass effect redo, maybe the ff7 redo. I just have far too much of a backlog of unplayed games.

Cordelia in Buffy/Angel started as a one dimensional mean girl meant to be annoying. However, they developed her character and she actually became fantastic.

The Neighbour from Home Improvement. We never saw Wilson’s face but there was a time when we saw him with his whole body with his face having shaving cream on it. We never saw his whole face. Parts of the face, yes but not the whole face. I think in the finale they briefly showed his face, after they took down the fence for the wedding.

I don't feel this way anymore, but as a kid I preferred Season 3 of Transformers with Rodimus Prime because it had more of a hard sci-fi edge to it than the more cartoony earlier seasons. This. Could get darker at times too. And it had the best version of the theme song. There was some definite darkness in the first couple seasons too though. When the dinobots were created and rampages due to low intelligence, Optimus had them shut down and sealed up. They only got reactivated to save the automotive. Later, he banished the dinobots to an island until theylearned teamwork. Just straight up don't come back until you figure shit out. Optimus made some pretty harsh choices for a kids show.

Eddie, Batista, Santos, his own son, Carlito Maybe Rey is the problem here Rey's problem is seeing the best side of bad people and trusting them. Eddie lies, cheats and steals proudly and Rey figures, hmm I should trust this dude. Batista was part of a group of bastards who regularly cheated to win and he only left them because they turned on him. Carlito has a move called the backstabber and his friend stabbed John Cena. Santos maybe should have been consulted about adding new members, but no decent person does what he did to Rey because of that. Dominik turned on him because he got some action from a dominatrix and assaulted Rey in his own home. I will give you that his recent penchant for teanmg with people who aren't in the lwo doesn't look great. However, an adult would have had a conversation with Rey, not done what Carlito did.

Did anyone else find it hilarious when Lola Vice brought out Shayna Bazler in her corner who then cuts a promo while Lola Vice just randomly latin dances? I know that's Lola Vice's thing, but when she's standing next to Shayna, the juxtaposition is just so ridiculous.

This is mainly for my fellow Canadian posters, but what's going on at Boston Pizza and the absolute thinnest slice of green pepper they could possibly put on a pizza? Also, avoid their pierogi pizza. Had heard for years it was delicious, tried, it's awful. Don't believe the hype. I've only ever had one good experience at Boston Pizza and I don't think it was pizza. I've found the vast majority of their fare has always been overpriced.

My friend years ago introduced me to the glory that is Double Pepperoni and Extra Cheese. That became my go to, though I love other kinds as well.
Usually the only stuff I won't get on a pizza would be anchovies, pineapple or olives. Normally, I'll try to do a mix of meat and veggies (I will often try to work spinach in for the iron boost).

Here's hoping that he doesn't just end up in a forever feud with AJ Styles.

The most recent episode of Speed got 300 comments and 9,000 likes. They got more engagement than that out of the graphic for the Women's Tag Title match. Of course people in the crowd don't care. I don't even really know who the concept is supposed to appeal to. "Hey, you like matches that end just before they can even start to get good and make everyone involved look like complete jobbers?" I mean to be fair, it's blatantly obvious that Jade and Bianca are squashing the Kabukis at Backlash for the tag titles, so its going to be the coldest match on the card. The only thing in doubt is if it goes over or under 5 minutes. I think they meant that the women's tag title graphic got more engagement than the most recent episode of Speed. One picture got more engagement than an episode, that's rough.

When Nick and Pearce were on NXT they specifically mentioned having an eye on the women's division and how great it is, that was nice to see it get some love. If only HHH had someone in NXT who could help him figure out how to create similar success on the main shows, perhaps a longtime friend who is in charge of booking? If only.

Also, why devote an episode of your show to telling people you're maintaining the status quo. 3 people switched brands but all the upper card guys on the shows are the same. Unless there's some bombshells over the weekend, this was a giant waste of time.
Also, I guess Smackdown is staying the A show?
