Ep 09

1. Lost Odyssey 2. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD (Hero Mode) 3. Mega Man 11 (Normal Mode) 3a. Mega Man 11 (Superhero Mode) 4. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings [Dark Mode] 4a Easy Mode/Roche Path Ahaaaaa, most of the political situation was locked away in the other part of the game. That was definitely more interesting with the full story and me paying attention to learn the names and kingdoms Got the rest of the achievements too, 1000/1000.

Ouch, but at least lost a close game and not a blowout

I think I'm the only person watching just the anime at this point, so I'm just gonna drop reactions to whatever things I find cool for all y'all manga readers. Please no spoilers. Just for reference in the last episode

Stray Dogs 33 And here I was wondering if anything was actually going to happen this season

Takeover 25

Last-three matches and ending angle were great and it makes me excited for the future and wanting to watch the big matches at their next few shows. That fucking advil blade-job by Dustin, god damn. And it was so bizarre seeing Moxley in the ring with Kenny Omega at the same time. Like KO in the ring with Cena alternate-universe shit. Criticsm-after-the-fact time though: Awesome Kong being on the show was a fun surprise, but there's also like 3-4 reasons I didn't like how they did it (took away from Nyla Rose, Kong has a bad back and can barely move, changing matches randomly on the fly looks minor-league even when they do it in the WWE and it implied evil authority figures could be a thing in AEW) I think there was too much indie shit in-a-potential-bad-way on the show and I think the wrestling and match lengths in the non-main-event matches should have each been cut down by 4ish mins each. A lot of indie wrestlers know two speeds, fast-paced moves with no-selling and then suddenly over-dramatic selling because it's near the end of the match, which leads to their matches peaking too early and then they just keep going and going and going and "it should've ended already." It really stands out because I'm also watching the NJPW BOSJ right now, and they have 10 singles matches every night but they're all done with guys who know how to pace it so that they don't overstay their welcome. I'm mostly being nitpicky, but two things I absolutely hated: - That they mentioned that tag team matches will feature a 10-count for illegal wrestlers leaving the ring after tagging out and then the referees never bothered counting and the wrestlers ignored it anyways. - That the plan is to feature Japanese women in a similar fashion to the WCW Cruiserweights in the mid '90s before they got buried as a way of standing out from other companies, but then they throw six women into a tag match and maybe the hardcores in the building have heard of Aja Kong from reading Meltzer Star-Rating lists and everyone just kind of gets lost in the shuffle and no one gets over (I used to wonder if Cornette complaining about the multi-team Junior openers at Wrestle Kingdom was just him being too much of an old man, but I do get it now, it's hard to follow what's going on if you aren't familiar with the people involved and you kind of just forget about them afterwards.). Buuuut I also can't tell if this was a dry-run for the future product or just working to the audience they knew was at the show. Feel like it's the latter because they do work their audiences.

Alien Has to have been at least 15 years since I've seen this. When I was younger, I'd always get impatient and bored because there wasn't shooting and space marines like Aliens. I still did get impatient through this one, but I did appreciate the slow rollout and the logic used to introduce the alien. A lot of the special effects on the Alien and a few moments with the Ash didn't age well, but it's probably not as bad as it could've been because you see the Alien so little. Pretty GOAT liquid movie, though. Everyone's constantly drenched in sweat, the Alien's stickyness, dripping saliva and acid blood, the milky insides of the robot (that's such a great twist now that I think about it, a movie called "Alien" having a robot in it), that one scene where Brett's letting water leak down on him to build tension. Something I never really thought about before, I really like how the Alien drags off the bodies without massacring them and you're never really told what happens to them. You can presume what's going on based on how the Alien is born and how future movies show you the Queen and such, but never really see it. Also kinda miss the grimyness of late '70s/early '80s sci-fi. The modern world has made technology so slick and presentable and Apple and small and convenient, it's a little nostalgic to see submarine boards and picture-tube monitors and an entire room dedicated to housing a basic computer simulator But ye, some things are better since I'm older now, some things are worse because time and special effects moved on, some things are nostalgic because got-old, and a lot of it was realy wet.

1??. Gargano 2. Io Shirai 3. Forgotten Sons 4. Dream 5. Matt Riddle ? B1. Yes B2. Montez Ford B3. Yes B4. ??Breeze B5. ?No

Something about ladders, maybe something about interference in the ladder match (the third forgotten son, Unsdisputeds) Which entrance has more extra human beings involved, Dream or Breeze Does Roderick Strong and/or Adam Cole interfere in each other's matches? Do the Horsewomen successfully interfere in the Shayna match Any non-regular unnannounced main-roster people in the crowd/on the show?

Badass, Raptors get a home win in the Finals (I still don't think they're going to beat Golden State)

Ghost Rider Was expecting this to be as bad as Hulk, but it ended up being aight. Generic '00s Horror-Action movie, cool motorcycle shit, Ghost Rider always looks cool, Eva Mendes' boobs, accidental comedy because Nic Cage can't act. I'm not sure I'd ever watch this again, but I wouldn't be against watching it again either. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance This one was bad as Hulk. Barely any motorcycle shit, retconned the first movie, Ghost Rider was a silly laughing demon for some reason, they wrote in goofy shit for Nic Cage so it came off as forced Nic-Cage bad acting. Only thing that was better than the first was the CGI.

Mail Gear Solid: Postal Ops

Guess Mox is still unhappy about Brock not wanting to do a deathmatch at Mania

BOOK IT, TONY KHAN

St Louis stole one in Boston (Also first ever finals win for them despite being in the finals three times, expansion was a weird time)

Assassin's Creed Huh, that was actually a really good video game adaption. Actually felt it could've been a bit longer just to get more of the Spanish Inquisition setting and flavour in there, but I'm also used to the games drawing you into the past setting too, it may not have played as well in the movie.

>Castlevania Anniversary Collection >Contra Anniversary Collection Mother fuckers

Game 6 apparently peaked at 5.3 million viewers in Canada, about 1/7th of the country, largest audience for a basketball game ever here. Might have a chance to eclipse an All-American Stanley Cup Final if they win a game or two early.

Sami name-dropping AEW on Raw If I recall right, one of the Young Bucks used the Helluva Kick and the Corner Brainbuster at DoN too

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Goodass movie series. I was about to say "My favourite movie of the series is..." but then I mentally started making cases for Chamber of Secrets, Goblet of Fire, the end battle in Order of the Phoenix (Dumbledore vs Voldemort is my favourite battle), and then the whole Snape/Horcrux set-up and the Draco showing in Half-Blood Prince, and the outcomes of all that set-up in Deathly Hallows 2. That's crazy that I can make cases for half of the 8 movies being my favourite in the series and another in consideration because of how it ended.
