This needs a good solid update.

I mean, I'm down if others are. I'm still a WWE cuck.

Like you said, fanboys. Like, I'll probably be a WWE junkie for life unless they lose all their interesting talent. But I'm not gonna pretend like they're not making shit a majority of the time. Or better yet, a shittier version of what could be.

Yeah, but we mostly hear it from disgruntled ex-employees. You'd hear a little bit on things like Jericho and Steve Austin's podcast, but usually within some parameter of making him look good, or "he's a genius for a reason" or some shit like that.

It's nice to hear this from someone in the know instead of just assuming and becoming an echo chamber of jaded wrestling fans. It makes you feel less crazy for saying things like, "When Vince dies..." Also hilarious because I always imagined Triple H getting frustrated with the way his stars are handled, so it's great to hear that confirmed. I can only imagine how reaction to "The Viking Experience".

Now THAT would be worth it.

Oof. Yeah, I'm pretty terrified by that. inb4 her new character "loves to have fun."

Haven't watched it yet, but having that music for a whole episode definitely sounds like it would be a bit much. Was the content enjoyable otherwise?

I still like Smackdown as a whole. I kinda liked the format of last night's show, but I still mostly watched RAW in the background. Also, I think we're starting to see more of the "edgy" content Fox supposedly wants. *Sigh*

Black Clover had hit a bit of a lull for a while, but the last couple episodes have really ramped up.

If I'm not mistaken, I think HBO Go essentially has a live stream. Either that or it's uploaded right afterward. That's how we're watching tonight.

CazXL? Really? Also probably the dumbest way to introduce them. I feel like this won't go well.

Just realized this won't be on Crunchyroll... Guess I'll have to find an illegal stream.

This is hands down one of my favorite anime/manga of all time. Other than my introduction through Gall Force and the occasional Sci-Fi Channel Saturday night movies, this was the first non-DBZ/Pokemon/Sailor Moon anime when I was younger, and I fell in love. I always loved the balance of comedy and martial arts, with a hidden romance plot becoming increasingly present as the series progresses. Ranma 1/2 is a pinnacle for me. And I love Rumiko Takahashi(even if Inuyasha is very bleh).

I'm not quite sure what the musical taste is hear, but I was curious what everyone's opinion is of sampling in music. Specifically, I'm thinking full samples from other pre-recorded songs. The kind you hear in old school hip-hop and various forms of electronica. But this could be a broader discussion about live instruments vs. digital/sampled instruments as well. Personally, I love the sound of a well-used sample. As a hip-hop head, I think it's fascinating how some people can take some obscure sample and transform it into a hip-hop beat, even if it's literally taking the beat and throwing some kick drums on it. Even making music, I find it fun to mix sounds I create through a keyboard with actual samples of random songs. I'm also a huge fan of using vocal samples, or ones that seem to punctuate a line or story. That said, I do believe in trying to mix or chop the sample enough to where you are making something new with it. With hip-hop, it's a little different for me, but I think any good musician will try to push the bar more than always using the aforementioned kick drum solution. I guess to me it's really just about whether it sounds good, but I know some people feel adamantly about keeping it all original. Thoughts? Do you like or hate samples? Do you care?

Don't you give me that sass, mister! As for the actual argument, my personal preference will always involve not compromising the intended creation of the game, and I think a game like Dark Souls is a bit harder to create a proper easy mode that doesn't transform the game. But in general I'm in support of people being able to play games how they want and allow for different difficulty levels. As long as the whole game isn't watered down in an attempt to make it accessible to everyone(i.e. sticking with one difficulty but making it easier, shoehorning tutorials, auto-targeting, etc.).
