Well, from what I've read, there was plenty of testimonies out there that painted the school in a good light. In fact, I think they had to be investigated several times as the first few investigations came out with reports that actually praised the school. I suppose that's the scariest part - how do you speak out when you'll look like the crazy liar compared to reports and testimonies that the place is legit.

Learning "the AEW way" is what I meant. Like how NXT is handwaved as "yeah, X doesn't need development per se but he needs to learn the WWE way". PAC's record was mentioned a lot on commentary too I think last week.

Okay, THAT'S hilarious

Didn't play enough to find out? Literally had like two matches. Also @MT Attitude was the only one I really played, except on Dreamcast. The WCW games were my N64 jam.

Yeah, I feel like THAT would be more satisfying. Like, I the first thing I said when it ended was:

So am I. Think he'd ship? That's sweet though, I'm sure the gifts are appreciated

A sorta "who dunnit" thriller shot and looking like a rom-com. It's surreal. I enjoyed it but you will finish thinking you've seen 20 different movies at once.

My major gripe with In The Tall Grass:

How was the conversation with Mayhew?

Ideally more someone you have actually had conversations with, but I'll accept stories of the most famous person you've just "met" once.

I didn't even watch the draft. Did lower tier wrestlers get drafted early?

Well, not necessarily. They can handwave it in kayfabe as the ref's learning curve. Shit they let slide incorrectly in early weeks they're now tightening up on as they get used to what is expected of them.

I believe it was No Mercy. There were at least another two btw - War Zone and Attitude.

For the record, I was absolutely fine with "ref's discretion" and distinctly remember JR explaining it a few times on commentary but... I feel like whoever wrote the intro to this week's BTE browses the forums lol

I take it back. Game 2 ALCS was lovely. Except the injury in the 5th ?

Listening to game 2 of the ALCS (Murrica!) and the commentator just ate a lobster roll. I want a lobster roll. @Betty Send lobster?

List every DiCaprio movie you've seen from worst to best. I've been listening to interviews of his a lot today and I forgot just how much he has been in. Truly one of the greats, although there are a few stinkers in there esp. when he adopts accents.

A Tom Hardy movie from about six years ago. Crime drama. I love it. Best movie I've seen in forever. Go watch and come back and tell me about it.

In The Tall Grass was... strange Like, I'm not unhappy I saw it but I'm also left scratching my head at some obvious plot holes. And like most Stephen King stuff, it just... ends A solid 5/10 the idea is intriguing and execution is fine, but it's not as smart as it thinks it is

I actually don't have any gaming regrets. I suppose that all my consoles are hidden away rn and I'm not rich enough to game 24/7 but lets see: I started with a SNES, built up a decent collection that I still have From that generation, I had a friend with a NES I played periodically and a friend with a Mega Drive. I finally got a MD when the N64 came out so kinda sucked my friends sold their MDs and I couldn't trade but w/e. Also got a Master System at some point with all the games I wanted. A regret would be that my uncle threw away his Mega CD and 32X instead of giving it to me... I found an Amstrad CPC464 at a thrift sale. It was expensive for me at the time, like £60, but everything worked. I think I had to ask my Mum for a loan to buy it, she was finally conviced by the fact it came with an actual BOX of games. Got a lot of hours out of that. Next up, played my cousin's PSX a lot, got a N64 for £1, a PS2 at a decently earlyish time, and the pinnacle of that generation was my Dreamcast I got at launch and was allowed to play early although it was meant to be a birthday present. Got all the games I wanted for that. Skipped PS3 (glad) and Xbox (glad), got 360 and PS4, zero interest in Xbone, Wii U. I'd like a Switch but w/e too much money not enough friends to play with. Got Nintendo DS, Wii, Gamecube cheap, years after the fact. Handheld I just repped the original Gameboy and burned a hole in Pokemon and other RPGs and puzzlers. Upgraded to GBC. Never bought into the rest and don't feel like I missed much (yeyeye PSP fanboys, don't even @ me). The one singular thing I did not buy that I wanted was a Vectrex. There was one in my local games store I played for free every Saturday and one week I eventually decided to buy it and it was gone. Yes, I could eBay that shit any time, but I feel shame I did not secure it in person. So that's one regret. Other than that, I hate buying new "in vogue" consoles. Had the SNES, Dreamcast, PS2 and PS4 in vogue and they're genuinely the best consoles ever anyway. Got everything else decent after the fact for cheap.

There's this cool retro gaming cafe nearby me, has a stock of like 1,000 games, some retro knick-knacks and a few lightgun cabinets. Played: A Pong machine that looked like it was from the 50s (proper tiny dial paddles) Left 4 Dead (360) A WWF N64 game (forgot which one, it had Rikishi in it for a timescale) Street Fighter 2 Turbo Hyper Edition (SNES) A few Saturn on rails gun games (Virtua Cop was maybe one?) Need For Speed Underground 2 (PS2). Played a race in every mode. I somehow still had the muscle memory to ace Drift and Drag modes. Some old FIFAs. 2004 and 2010 maybe? In the house I've only played old FIFAs too. Changed the rosters to current teams on 18 which is hilarious because amazing players are rates so poorly from three years ago.

Did I win?

So... some of you may remember that during the summer I bought a badass PC and said I was going to learn how to edit videos because I'm sick of being sick of my job and wanted a change... Well since then I have: - Worked on teaching myself editing - Which necessitated learning how to film stuff to edit - Started a night course at college to learn that - Realised having photography skills also helps - So joined a camera club - Filmed a short. Realised I didn't know jack shit about acting - Signed up for acting classes - Filmed another short. It was better than the first - Rebooted all my social media - Facebook declined my new account - Now in Facebook limbo - Filmed a third short. I liked this one. Have published it to YouTube - Have a one week break from college, so remembered I hadn't posted here in forever, so returned to post Eyyyyy. Can't promise I'll be super active again etc because when college starts back I'll need to figure out what I'm gonna do with my life next year, but I'm here today, so that's a thing

I predicted Astros v Cards, and the last out being Osuna v Ozuna. Looking like Yanks v Nats though. Eurgh. Been some crazy innings already from the DS but I just can't get into these CS yet.

Riho is super fucking over in the key demographics, and they wanted to build around Britt Baker, so I can't wait for their feud. The rest are meh. Kylie Rey would have been amazing but she's hung up the tights for the time being (believe she suffers from mental health issues and reading between the lines the anxiety of TV pushed her over a little, but that's pure speculation). There's a pretty in-depth feedback survey doing the rounds. I think @AEWonTNT on Twitter has it. Beware, one of the questions asks for a number between 1-3 but doesn't explain what they mean. 1 is the answer for you want more wrestling, 3 for more stories. Overall, I'm excited for AEW and Dynamite is the most I've wanted to watch a weekly show since Nitro.
