  1. On the contrary, Orton apparently has the rep of being one of the safest pairs of hands in WWE, as well as the RKO/Cutter being one of the better moves, especially compared to some of the other ones out there. They also have the benefit of having worked together previously, obviously lol
  2. I have to completely disagree with this, in it's near entirety; I'll reiterate, the Men's Rumble match was arguably the best in at least the last 5-6 years. Was it the best? No, that honor still goes to probably 2004 or 1992, but it's a contender for #3 in my opinion. Despite the lack of build up to it, Brock actually added a unique dynamic and was booked in it about as great as one could hope; He absolutely made Keith Lee and Drew Macintyre in that match just by his interactions, and the rest of it before his elimination told a great story. Again, it would've been better had they bothered to build it up more then a couple promos of Heyman spouting his usual schtick (which I love Heyman but like, it's getting a bit old at this point), but the build issue can be said of just about literally everything else on the card. Yes it was great to see Edge, but how would you have rather had him booked? Because to have him return then win and instantly be put into a World Title match with (probably) either Lesnar or Wyatt would just be weird, and make absolutely no sense, and that's not even considering the issues WWE still has with relying to heavily on it's established stars and reluctance on building new ones based entirely on the whims of how Vince feels for the day or if he has a bad burrito Also I can't tell if your actually happy or mad that Drew won lol. Like, ideally, he will go on to be WWE World Champ, but this is WWE, no guarantees that is going to happen lol. We've all seen them feeding "bigger" stars then Macintyre to Brock for seemingly no reason then the lulz. So yea, they would but doesn't mean they're going to even though I sincerely hope so. This entirely. The only change I would have probably made in the Rumble is a bit different order, and having Edge eliminated by someone like Corbin. You know, I'll agree with this. Yadda Yadda the build etc, but frankly it really couldn't have turned out much better... and frankly I'm much, much less against it then I was for it, even in hindsight.
  3. I mostly disagree with the OP, but in some cases yea, sure, the early adopter gets screwed; If a console fails out of the gate essentially like Virtual Boy or Dreamcast then yea, the consumer kinda got proverbially kicked in the balls, but thems the breaks as well unfortunately. As @fox kinda established early 3DS adopters also got kinda ballsed, but at the same time (as also has been said) they also got some reimbursement as well in the form of exclusive/limited release games, but that's also an outlying case. In an ideal world we would get (back) to the point where a Console is more like a PC and is upgradeable/replaceable on a part by part basis; that way I wouldn't need to worry about updates to tech in the future and the playing field for early and late adopters would be evened out a bit more.
  4. Seconded. This could've been a contender for best Rumble of all time had they bothered to build it up at all outside of the odd "I'm announcing my entry into the rumble match!" promo What Boosted asked, mild curious as to what you disliked Women's match was probably the weakest match on the card but still by no means terrible... just odd and disappointing choices Probably just your signal, friend. Same. Actually looking forward to Wrestlemania this year
  5. Got to play a Famicom and Super Mario Bros. 2 (the real thing not "SMB USA") back when I was like 4 in 1990 at a friend of my dad's house I distinctly remember it as I got the poison mushroom immediately at the beginning and was completely confounded by it lol
  6. In no particular order; Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow Pokemon Gold/Silver Tetris Super Mario Land 2 Link's Awakening Kirby's Dreamland Dr. Mario Gargoyle's Quest Wario Land Metroid II
  7. I'll echo the sentiment that there are worse games for rubber-banding mechanics out there, though I don't think Mario Party is like that; moreso just nearly 100% luck based mechanics lol This is the destination of pretty much any "Triple A" franchise at some level or another... though to Nintendo's credit they're generally pretty good at bucking trends when needed
  8. Unless we start hearing about the dead rising and feasting on the flesh of the living, I'm personally not too concerned. I felt like we were overdue for a mass viral pandemic panic, and sure enough here we are. I assume they more meant the capabilities of "modern medicine" such as preventive measures/treatments/etc and not just medications. We've come a long way in 102 years.
  9. I second this. PayPal is a pain in the ass to deal with. I lost about $100 due to PayPal fucking up and continually charging me multiple times for a subscription I had cancelled. Had to call four different times, two of the times after they I was assured they would stop the charges (then didn't) after the first couple times. This outlines my philosophy on dealing with any sort of "customer service" now; simply keep calling back until you get someone who actually fixes the problem. Anyone who tells you they cannot do the thing is a lazy jerkass who doesn't want to do their job. You just need to eventually find the person who is willing to help you. Glad to hear you finally got some good resolution, OP
  10. This is me also. Bonus points for "A View to a Kill" as a giant James Bond fanboy
  11. Surprised there hasn't been mention of Settlers of Catan. A great game. Also I love me some Risk. Always down to play.
  12. Came here for Jack's love and was not disappointed You ain't been looking hard enough friend. I see Totino's all the time lol The store (chain) I work for does these 10 for $10 deals on things about once a month; Totino's Pizzas are pretty much always one of the items, and I always pick up a couple A solid choice! And I also agree; 2 is just never enough Not a frozen pizza but Aldi's Ready 2 Bake Pizzas are a fair choice when you're looking for decent Pizza on a budget. Also shout outs to Little Sleazer's Ceaser's Hot n Ready Pizzas... @Foochie776 should just turn this into a Pizza Appreciation thread lol
  13. I did. It was a fantastic show. Dat #DIY vs Moustache Mountain match, and the Imperium vs Undisputed Era. Both strong contenders for WWE Match of the Year already Also holy hell the Rumble was good... better then it had any right to be. The Men's Rumble Match itself was easily the best in the last 5-6 years if not decade. Seeing this guy win was great. Unexpected but very welcome... and this return Amazing. The pop was surreal. If you don't have network or w/e, hear it for yourself Just. Wow. You'd think, Keith Lee would've been the pick imho, have him go against Lesnar, but not this year. I hope they save him til next years Rumble, have a nice run in NXT with the NA then Main NXT title
  14. it was just his primary piece of merch at the time... and it kinda got over as a bit of a catch phrase? Weird shit happens all the time like that. Heck Tommaso Ciampa gets "Daddy's Home" chants currently lol (granted in context it makes sense, doesn't stop it from being a bit weird lol)
  15. 1: They were tag champs and Eddie needed to prove himself against Rey for w/e reason. This was before (and what actually almost directly led into) the Dominick storyline when Eddie turned heel on Rey. 2: His shirt from the Dominick storyline, which was the last big storyline he had before his death (he was just beginning a storyline with Batista which rumours say he was going to win the World Heavyweight title, when Batista went out with injury)
  16. Pretty good go home episode for NWA for their upcoming PPV I like Nick Aldis a lot. He's got a lot of potential and would do great on a platform like AEW or WWE/NXT imo TNA dont count lol
