NJPW's Dominion event in 2009 had a very....uhh...unique poster design.

Like they weren't even trying to be subtle. They just went full on "here's a poster for our wrestling show ripped straight out of Berlin in 1940".

The MP is good

It's the campaign that sucks

Hasn't this been a pretty accurate description of Call of Duty since, like, the original MW3?

$2.79 CAD (about $2 USD)

"Flags are literally everywhere no matter what. The only time I would see that many Canadian flags would be Canada Day."

This must be a old list because ever since Trumpism invaded conservative politics there's tons of right-wingers running around with Canadian flags plastered on everything.

I honestly wasn't even aware that it had come out. When the hell did it release?

If you're buying an All-In-One, no. It's pretty much exactly the same as installing an air cooler just with the added step of needing to attach the radiator to the case.

I had a donut burger once and it really wasn't that good. The donuts were so think and sweet that it was all I tasted, everything else was just texture.

If you want to add sweetness to a burger or chicken sandwich just put a sweet sauce on it like honey mustard or maple BBQ or something.

Jacksonville is so forgettable that literally nobody remembers that its the biggest city of Florida.

Think about it. How many Florida cities do you think of before Jacksonville? Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Tallahassee, Ft. Lauderdale, more? Hell, if you werent an NFL fan, you probably wouldnt even know about Jacksonville, and its the largest city in Florida.

How many other states largest cities are that forgettable?

TBF calling Jacksonville "Florida's largest city" requires a huge asterisk.

Jacksonville only has that title because for whatever reason the defined boundaries of the city proper for Jacksonville are absurdly large. A massive 747 square miles, the 6th largest in the US (the other 5 are Anchorage and some bit towns where their entire county is counted as "city").

Miami, for comparison, is only 56 square miles and pretty much only consists of the downtown core and everything else that people (especially people not from the area) would generally call "Miami" are actually separate cities like Miami Beach or Hialeah.

If you go by metro area Miami, Tampa and Orlando all dwarf Jacksonville and it's not even close.

i feel like his music doesn't fit the show, it sounds like some super creepy sci fi shit instead of goofy action anime. i prefer the original

I mean, let's take a look at the overall plot of Dragon Ball Z.

• An alien super warrior arrives from outer space and reveals himself to be the brother of our main character. Shortly after two more alien super warriors arrive from outer space. Most of our heroes are killed in the ensuing battle.
• Our remaining heroes then must travel through space to an alien planet in order to revive the defeated heroes. There they become stranded as the planet is under siege by an evil galactic space emperor. Our heroes eventualy defeat the space emperor and bring back the others.
• The evil space emperor however is not dead and, alongside his father, comes to Earth to extract revenge. However he is defeated by a time traveller from the future (who is also the son of two of our heroes, unbeknownst to them). The time traveller reveals that the future was destroyed by two Androids who defeated all of our heroes and our current timeline heroes must train and prepare for their arrival.
• During the battles with the Androids another arrives from the future, this one a biocreature formed from the amalgamation of our heroes DNA. Our heroes eventually defeat the creature with the help of another Android as well as a chamber where time moves at 1/356 of real world time allowing for extensive training time.
• Fast forward seven years and our heroes encounter a new threat where an evil magician turns one of our heroes against the others in order to gather enough energy to revive an ancient creature to wreck havoc on the universe.
• The creature uses absorption techniques to shapeshift and steal our heroes abilities. Eventually the creature completely destroys Earth and kills most of our heroes. The remaining heroes eventually defeat said creature while fighting him on an alien planet inhabited by the gods of our quadrant of the universe.

I don't know, most of that sure sounds like "creepy sci fi shit" to me.

How is it a glitchless run if there's absolutely no way of having done that legitimately?

Have you watched a glitchless run? It is done legitimately.

Gltiched runs are only a few minutes long, not 2 hours.

And Spielberg can't watch it again because he thought it was his greatest failure.

I can see being disappointed in it and thinking it didn't live up to it's full potential, but thinking it's your "greatest failure" when Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is on your resume is just silly.

I wouldn't say "love it", but I like it well enough. There's one right across the street from my work which I stop into for lunch every couple of weeks or so.

I know people complain about the prices but everything is stupidly expensive now. I can still get 2 McDoubles and a Jr. Chicken for less than $10 and there's few places where I can get lunch for less than $10 anymore.

And what if the legislature tells the courts to screw off and use their own map? Cause thats probably the most likely action they will be taking.

Well in a normal world blatantly ignoring a court order like that should get anyone involved removed from their position and arrested.

But of course politics is not a normal world.

I'd say the answer is someone who was a one-term president, who didn't inherit the office from a dead predecessor (as those who did are a common trivia tidbit), and is generally ranked in the middle of the pack in historical rankings of presidents because they were unremarkable enough that they can't be labelled as good or bad. They also shouldn't have any major well-known landmarks named after them (like Herbert Hoover and the Hoover Dam). And also they probably shouldn't be a major plot point in a huge Hollywood blockbuster (so Chester A. Arthur thanks to Die Hard with a Vengeance).

So someone like...say...Rutherford B. Hayes.

Are they any different? Every person I know who was opposed to the COVID or flu vaccines is also fully on the "vaccines cause autism" or "vaccines let Bill Gates track us" trains. So no.

I mean, this part of the game literally is a game show.

Snails, Brussels Sprouts, Raisins and Oysters. So 4.

There's a few other things on that list I'm not fond of, but I wouldn't not eat them. Like I'd never make beats for myself but if I was at a family dinner and they were on the table I'd have a couple pieces.

Gears of War

I played through the first three games and did tons of co-op with my friends back in the day, but I couldn't tell you a damn thing about the plot or backstory of those games now and if I played through the campaigns again I would probably only remember one or two parts from each game. The rest would pretty much be new to me again.

Based on what I've seen from checking out some Twitch streams the last couple days, it looks quite literally like "Bethesda In Space".

So if you like Bethesda's style of gameplay, are accepting of the flaws that comes with it, and are interested in seeing their take on a space-based sci-fi game. Here you go.

If you don't like Bethesda's games; didn't like Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 or Fallout 4; then I'm not sure why you were ever paying any attention to this game anyway.

My downloads on Steam typically sit between 35 and 50 mbps. Origin (or whatever it's called now) was typically about the same.

Both blow PSN and NSO out of the water. I hate downloading anything on those two systems because of how ungodly slow it is.

The collection was the first time I played 4 and it was so awful. I loved the first three games as a kid and I basically 100% them again in the collection and had a great time doing it. Then I played 4 and I had to force myself to finish it.

Everything about it was inferior to the first three except the streamlined travel system (no repeatedly running through the subway or, worse, 3's airport). It just wasn't fun at all. And when I found out the post game required just playing through the story 2 more times, I quit there and moved on to 5.

So far I'd say 5 is definitely worse than 2 and 3 as well.

Rain Dance all day. Blastoise, Gyarados and Dewgong are an ungodly trio of cards.

A Haymaker style deck centered around Hitmonchan, Electabuzz and Diglett/Dugtrio is my usual backup.

I do like fooling around with Damage Swap and Energy Trans decks too, but I don't find them reliable enough to be go-tos like the above two.

I don't work in the customer service part of retail, but I do occasionally get stopped by people (even though I don't wear a uniform or a nametag or anything identifying me as a staff member) and I see the actual customer service staff deal with people as I walk around the store and I'd say it's at least 30% to 40%. Maybe even 50/50.

The Magnetic Gloves would've been cool if there were more things to use them with than just arbitrarily placed S poles and N balls and the whole two enemies designed around the gimmick.

The Switch Hook would've been better as just a regular Hookshot, although I get why they went with the gimmick they did for puzzle reasons.

The original DB is a fun series that's really easy to watch.

DBZ is obviously it's most well known and iconic iteration, although objectively I do think a degree of nostalgia is required to enjoy a lot of it, especially the Buu Saga.

Honestly I thought GT was okay for the first arc when it was kind of paying homage to the original, a light-hearted journey through the galaxy for the Dragonballs, but the rest was beyond awful. As soon as you see Baby, get the fuck out of there.

Super had it's moments, frankly I enjoyed the Goku Black and Tournament of Power arcs for what they were, but it pales in comparison to DB and DBZ. Maybe it's just because it doesn't have the nostalgia factor.

The movies are dumb non-canon affairs until the Super movies which are dumb canon affairs.

I can't think of a single Arby's that isn't located in a mall food court. Every other major fast food chain we have around here is popular enough for at least one stand-alone location.

If you go by metro area, yes.

If you just go by just the city proper, we're short by 9000 people.

And the third, obvious side

People are fucking idiots and allowing anyone to carry a gun anywhere just increases the odds of some idiot shooting someone for something stupid

This. Every time this comes up people always go "Oh well if someone is going to commit a crime anyway, they're not going to care about a concealed carry permit", as if that's the type of shooting these are supposed to prevent.

It's not. It's supposed to weed out average people who should not be carrying guns on them at all times to prevent shootings like "Guy shoots gas station attendant because said gas station doesn't accept Discover cards".

Right, because slavery was a uniquely American concept and never a thing in Europe thus anyone who's family immigated to the Americas after slavery was abolished couldn't possibly have slave ownership in their ancestry.

But shit happened and I was back home at 23 and with the sheer insanity of rent and housing prices, I'm not getting my own place again any time soon.

There's a bunch of potential balancing issues that should be addressed. Most have already been said (stronger bosses, nerfing items, etc.), but here's one I didn't see yet: Make the characters actually fit their archetypes better.

Mario is the balanced all-rounder, Mallow is the all magic no physical black mage, Geno is the all attack no defence glass cannon attacker, Bowser is the all physical no magic warrior and Peach is the bad at everything but can heal white mage. You can tell this is what they were going for based on their early states and growth, but by the end I think the only one who fit their archetype was Bowser except his physical was worse than everyone else's too.

I know I saw Tenet, but I legitimately can't remember anything about it except it has to do with bullets that travel through time.

I always play as a woman, and I thought the VA did a pretty good job; general consensus seems to lean towards this being the case as well.

To be honest, when your (female) character finally finds 'Shaun' in the Institute is one of the few moments in any of these games (including NV) that actually stirred a bit of emotion in me.

Also, one of my favorite bits in the game (so much so that I do it the same way every playthrough regardless of build or what my companion thinks of it) is during the Silver Shroud quest; at every opportunity I take the goofy superhero-voice dialogue options, right up until the very last dialogue option with Sinjin, where you can punk his minions into retreating by breaking character and telling them that you're going to slaughter every last one of them; the VA sells that line pretty well imo.

When I first played the game I got about an hour in as the male player before I gave up and quit because of how bad his voice acting was. While looking up who he was I learned that the female player was voiced by the same woman who did Jack in Mass Effect so I started a new game as a female and it was a night and day difference. She was infinitely better.

Reminder that one of the people in this scene is an Academy Award winning actor and it's not Harrison Ford.

I haven't played it in a really long time so I don't know if it's changed, but 4 or 5 years ago when I did it was one of the best examples of a F2P game out there.

I would strongly recommend having some friends to play with though. I feel like it'd be really hard to get into solo.

Sajak leans right, but he's still not the most unhinged right-wing game show host.

That award goes to Chuck Woolery.

Chuck Woolery also hasn't been relevant at all for about 20 years. Sajak is still in the spotlight today.

Exactly what is Super Dragonball Heroes?

An anime based on an arcade card game in Japan that's basically a fanfic that heavily leans on time travel, among other things, to utilize basically every character in the series and gives them all nearly every transformation imaginable as well as several new ones invented for the series.

Like there's literally a scene where a Goku and Vegeta from one timelime fuse into SSJ4 Gogeta and a Goku and Vegeta from another timeline fuse into SSBE Gogeta and then the two Gogeta fight together (and lose BTW).

If he got 4 cheesy Gordita cruches, 2 steak quesadillas, and 3 nacho fries that would be around 35-40 bucks.

I can't see drinks topping 50, and that's a lot more than it sounds like posted like that. O.o

Since I'm also in Canada I just added up his order using the menu for my local Taco Bell.

4 Soft Beef Tacos - 2.59 x 4 = 10.36
2 Chicken/Steak Quesadillas - 7.59 x 2 = 15.18
3 Regular Fries with 3 Side of Nacho Cheese - 2.99 x 3 + 1.25 x 3 = 12.72
2 20oz. Pops - 2.99 x 2 = 5.98
Added together that's $44.24. Add tax on top of that (using Ontario's 13% HST since that's where I am) and it actually comes out to exactly $49.99.

I'm in southern Ontario and i dont think I've ever seen smoke from a wildfire settle over my city before. I went out thus afternoon and it looked foggy and cloudy even though it was sunny, and I could smell the smoke in the air. It was kind of surreal.

Even at its wackiest I still enjoyed the show a lot for the first 5 seasons. Even the time traveling didn't bother me nearly as much as it did most people.

Season 6 however was completely ruined by the stupid "flash sideways" thing.

Maybe I'm just not far enough to hit the grind wall yet, but I've adopted the mindset of "I'm not ready yet."

If armor needs 12 lizalfos tails and I don't have 'em, I'll come back when I do. Not gonna run around grinding lizalfos, not gonna dupe tails. Just let the upgrades happen as I play.

If I need 800 rupees for new armor and don't have any, I'll sell some monster parts or just...not buy the armor until later.

The game throws shit at you just for playing it. Play the game.

Ordinarily I would agree with this, but dragon parts and star fragments are a thing. You'll rarely collect them "as you play", you pretty much have to set out to find them and in the amounts you need for armor upgrades alone (assuming this game is comparable to BOTW) farming them is just too painful. I did it once in BOTW and I have no desire to do it again.

Even the older Zelda games didn't have the same amount of glitches

You realize Ocarina of Time allows you to trick the game into putting a bottle on your B button. Then rewrites your inventory based on what is in the bottle and what is on your C-Right button every time you use it, right?

Or that you can hover with bombs and bombchus.

Or that you can slide incredibly quickly along the ground which can also push you through solid objects and out of bounds.

Or the plethora of other places you can clip out of bounds via side hopping and jump slashing. Oh and you can skip right by the Door of Time doing this.

Or that you can equip child only items as an adult and vice versa

Or that you can do a mini hop that lets you grab otherwise unreachable ledges

Or that you can play any item as an ocarina as long as you have a bottle with bugs or fish

Or that you can put away a lit stick while standing next to a torch and then pull that stick out in a different spot and it'll still be lit.

Or that you can trick the game into loading a room and a cutscene simultaneously which instead warps you around the game

Or that you can pull a Spooky Mask out of a chest stuck in the ass of the Gerudo Archery girl

Oh and should we count the fact that crouch stabbing wasn't given a damage value so it utilizes the damage table of the previous used attack, allowing you to store specific damage values in an extremely fast and easy to use attack?

And that's barely scratching the surface. Seriously there are few games with as many glitches and exploits as Ocarina of Time.

The only thing that should be eaten with ketchup is a grilled cheese sandwich. Anything else and there's a better condiment for it than ketchup.

The Ice Arrows don't really do anything interesting in the game anyway.

There is one interesting thing they do. If you shoot one of Bongo Bongo's hands with Ice Arrows he won't continue to attack you with the unstunned hand (like he does if you stun a hand normally) as a unique animation plays where he tries to break the ice off his frozen hand.

Dave's Single by a lot. I like diversity in my food. Crisp lettuce, tomato, meat, cheese, all in proper harmony. Working together in both taste and texture.

How can people even eat the tasteless blob of grease that is the baconator? Just for memes?

Pretty much this. I make fun of people who eat their burgers with just meat, cheese and bun, and that's all the Baconator is.

The combat and gunplay was easily the best of the Bethesda Fallout's and the world was mostly fun to explore and fuck around in.

In terms of story, lore and characters, definitely worse than New Vegas by a wide margin, but I'd probably rank it higher than 3.

Overall, it's a perfectly enjoyable experience, especially with the right mod setup.

Probably Ultima IX: Ascension

Usually when a game is this bad I just quit playing it, so other contenders for "worst game I've ever played" aren't eligible. But I'd played the entire rest of the main Ultima series up to that point so I was determined to finish this one too.

In every aspect this game was a failure. From a technical aspect; it crashed all the time, it was riddled with bugs, the hit detection was horrible, audio would freeze, and it was horrifically laggy. From a story standpoint it completely butchered or straight up ignored the previous eight games in the series. Hell the opening cutscene directly contradicted the end of Ultima VIII. From a gameplay standpoint; the combat was weak, the animations were horrible, the side quests were awful (and this was a series known for convoluted side quests), and the world was about half the size of Ultima VII because the 3D graphics used up so much memory. The voice acting was also terrible though this was a bit more forgivable as voice acting in video games was still pretty bad in general in 1999 (that said, MGS was a million times better and came out a year earlier).

Even though it's gone up in recent years, 2 for $10 Whoppers still makes it way cheaper than any other fast food burger place for their signature burger. 2 Quarter Pounders or Dave's Singles is nearly $15.

I ran a number of SNES and N64 games about 10 years ago, but I wasn't like a WR contender in any of them unless you count having Dam Agent :53 in Goldeneye which like every Goldeneye speedrunner had.

I also used to race OoT Bingo, Beta Quest and Randomizer until most races started moving to racetime.gg and their site required streaming for all racers and I couldn't be bothered to learn how to set up a twitch stream on my lackluster Canadian internet just to participate in races. I do still play all three solo from time to time though.
