I've never broken a controller out of rage, the only time that came close was when i was playing Sonic Heroes when i was growing up, the game frustrated me so bad due to it being a broken mess at times with the characters clipping through floors, clipping on rails and falling to bottomless pits resulting in numerous cheap deaths. Something must've snapped and i threw my Gamecube controller across the room and hitting a wall, i still have that Gamecube controller to this day and surprisingly it still works perfectly..
I used to play Left 4 Dead alot with my friend over Xbox Live, we'd rush the level zooming past our team mates and sneak into the safe room stealing all the health packs even if we didn't need them. We'd also purposely lure the tank over when it spawned half way in the level over to our team mates and get it to attack them, sometimes we'd even hold a team mate in place by healing him so he couldn't move just so the tank could send him flying halfway across the map, good times..
Me and the same buddy used to play Team Fortress 2 on the Orange Box, we'd pull off that glitch where you can place a turret on top of the Red teams barn roof just to get an advantage over Blue team, our team mates would be staring at us in awe over the time it would take us to set the damn thing up and by the end of it we'd both be dancing on the roof laughing our asses off. The turret would insta kill any unsuspecting blue team member who would try and break into our base, it was funny for a while until they'd catch on then it just became a minor annoyance to them..
Believe it or not, i've never played a Call of Duty game and have no interest in playing one..
I don't really follow gaming trends and rush out to buy whatever is new on the market this month, i just play whatever i feel i'd enjoy playing whether it be an old game for the Xbox One or something that's been out over ten or so years ago on the 360. Hell, i don't even have the current gen Xbox Series console yet and i'm no rush to owning one, there's nothing that's came out that really excites me anymore..

Hot take: save for a few minor features like running grapples and such, I find that I much prefer WrestleMania 2000 to No Mercy. I agree with this, No Mercy to me always felt alot slower in gameplay when compared to it's previous N64 counterparts, it doesn't help that Wrestlemania 2000 felt like WCW/nWo Revenge but with a WWF coat of paint on it and that's a good thing seeing as Revenge was my favourite of the four games. That and WM 2000 had full entrances instead of just ending on the ramp, a small thing i know but i enjoy watching them before engaging in battle, presentation and all that sh3t. The Big Show being in is one thing but WM 2000 also gave us the timeless legend himself.. BLUE.. FING.. MEANIE. Come at me!..

The Spy from TF2.. That arrogant smirk, those witty one liners, his expensive and very fashionable suits along with the ski mask.. whenever i played as him i felt dirty as i stabbed ppl in the back like a coward and tampered with the Engineers' equipment all while crawling back into the shadows after a crime had just been commited on the battlefield and to top it off, he'd smoke those exotic cigarettes over your fallen body while laughing with that smug look on his face, the dude sickens me.. Now the Demo man, that's a character you can get behind!. Always drunk on the job whilst spewing out Braveheart speeches as he carries the team to victory.. "I'LL BE GENTLE!" He was the hero for generations, the hero we didn't deserve and didn't know we needed until now.. bless you Demo man, you magnificent stereotypical stallion of a man!

the first CD I ever had was probably a pop band or something when I was really young first CD I bought for myself was appetite for destruction, which I bought solely because people I thought were cool like guns n roses and the badass album cover. axl’s falsetto threw me totally off initially, I thought guns n roses was going to be similar to Metallica. silly me. and yep, I still listen to it regularly. Do you own Use Your Illusion part 1 and or 2?.. that stuff was legendary!

The first physical version of any music I remember owning was a cassette my Mom got me of a Divo album for the song "Whip It." I don't remember if it was a single cassette or the full album cause I was like 5. I heard the song on Beavis and Butthead when my Dad was watching. Lol My taste in music as a kid was pretty busted. I had everything from Eiffle 65, Lenny Kravitz, Chumbawamba, Spice Girls, etc. Thank God my Mom had a great taste in music. She had Zeppelin, Van Halen, The Cars, etc on vinyl...and hundreds of cds of stuff like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode, Metallica, etc.I am pretty open minded and listen to a wide range of music. I go from Slayer one minute to Laura Branigan the next. My dad was kind of similar in that way, he had a whole stack of old vinyl records with stuff like Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Bon Jovi, in a way i think he steered me in the right path as i too often listen to the stuff he was into.. I know i said Hybrid Theory was the first album that was gifted to me when i was alot younger but if we're all mentioning the first albums that we ever purchased with our own pocket change, mine would have to be Pearl Jam's: Ten album. I own a few of their first albums as i didn't like the later stuff when it felt like Eddie's voice had cracked and they didn't seem to have that same youthful energy they once performed with during the 90's, some of their better material in my eyes was on that record. Evenflow, Alive, Jeremy, Black & Porch.. I still listen to them here and there to this day in rotation with other bands i'm into and i still own the album.

It's all good aslong as he comes out to that sweet Barry White inspired theme song, it will all be worth it then!
So was the whole character one big rib on Mark by crazy Vince McMad or was this a Russo creation?, i know anything goes in the Attitude era but i'm starting to wonder, McMahon did like playing ribs on Mark to see if he would crack..

Wasn't my favorite Christmas but one i remember fondly on for a laugh was Christmas in 2002, it was some time after my parents had split up and i lived with my dad. We had just moved out of our old house in the summer so this was the first Christmas in the new smaller house, must of been Christmas Eve night where my dad was out drinking with some of his buddies and he came home late that night with a friend of his. A man i never met before but he seemed like a cool dude, we were all joking around having a good time for like an hour in the living room before i headed off to my room to go sleep and left them to continue drinking downstairs. My dads friend must of passed out on the couch not long after, so my dad locked the front and back door and went upstairs to sleep aswell..
The next morning i can remember waking up hearing someone screaming at the bottom of our stairs, it was my dads friend who was desperately trying to open the front door, kicking and slamming it in a panic and probably had no clue where he was or who's house he was currently in. My dad rushed downstairs and calmed the poor man out, opened the door for him and i never did see that dude again..
I think at one point when the guy realised he had no way out, i think he may of been crying, that's when it got real sad for a moment..
Never catched his name as i was still in high school and didn't really talk to most of my dads drinking buddies at that time..

I once watched a conspiracy documentary about the behind the scenes McFlurry ice cream machine breaking down every day, man i wish i could undo everything i witnessed in that 30 minute long video, it was like heading down one rabbit hole after another..

I can't see Triple H as this courageous/heroic leader banding team WWF together & leading them into the promise land against the Alliance, i really can't.. I know he was a face for a short term when he returned at the start of 2002 but the guy just loves playing a bad guy so much for most of his career, Triple H as a face just seems wrong especially after the year he had feuding with the Rock & Austin in 2000 & teaming with Austin in early 2001..
After all, he was the guy behind mowing Austin down with help from Rikishi, the dude was everywhere when the time was needed for a dastardly heel
From my perspective, i'd see him either switching roles with Austin as the WWF guy turning at Invasion to join up with the Alliance, so Stephanie would still be storyline ECW owner and the two would be together in the same faction and Austin would be the WWF leader or..
He'd take Kurt's role as being the inside mole, screwing Austin at Survivor Series and revealing he was really team WWF all along just to stick it to Austin one last time..
I'm just wondering if Triple H was still around, how this all would effect Kurt?.. would he still be in the main event scene or would Triple H & Austin cloud up that world title picture?

] So.. two simple questions, what was the first album you ever owned and would you still go back for a listen?.. I ask this as our tastes in genre of music often change over years, even decades of our lives or you could still have the same taste in music from when you was growing up as a teen. You could be thinking, man that Zeppelin album rocked back then & it still rocks even now or you could be thinking.. My Chemical Romance?.. Panic at the Disco?.. what was i on? My first album was gifted to me for Christmas one year when i was back in middle school, i believe it must of been the year 2000 as Linkin Park was blowing up at the time & i asked my grand mama for the album: Hybrid Theory as i used to watch some of their music videos playing on Kerrang tv at the time while flicking through the music channels. Songs like Papercut, Crawling, One Step Closer and the big one that's been featured on millions of edgy teens Dragonball Z music videos: In The End Would i still give it a listen?.. to quote the immortal Heisenberg: YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I WOULD.. Not to say i'm the biggest Linkin Park fan out there as that album is mostly all ive listened to from the bands catalogue besides a couple of songs down the line afterwards but that Hybrid Theory album still holds up in my opinion to this day.. like that one dude from NewLegacyInc once said, every song on that album is a banger, i've just recently listened to it after years spent exploring other bands & finding new favourites but after hearing that dudes statement & giving it a listen back, i couldn't agree more with that guy.. So.. what was your first album & would you still give it a listen after all this time?, do you even still own the album to this day?.. I still own Hybrid Theory lost within my collection besides Faith No More, Pearl Jam, Guns N Roses, Metallica etc.

I'm dreading Christmas more if anything.. despite my best efforts of wrapping those darn presents not too tight & not too loose but just somewhere smack down in the center.. oh the balance of getting it just right without ripping those presents feel like a chore to open on Christmas morning.. it.. it CONFOUNDS ME

So where are these guys?.. seems like they've disappeared since Jack got his head shaved, i've been watching the product in & out for the last few weeks & noticed they haven't shown up for a while now. I remember they both disappeared from AEW for a few months some time last year aswell, are they doing shows down in Mexico or something?..
Oh & why wont Tony Khan push this team?

Me & my friend was watching alot of the AEW shows a few weeks ago, as we were watching Dynamite/Dark/Elevation, it occured to us as the matches went on during the show that almost every wrestler on the roster are aligned with a certain faction to the point we were counting how many there are in total on the show. I've counted atleast twelve without too much thought put into it while writing this post, i'm probably missing a couple but do you think twelve is too many?. I can't think of any other promotion that had almost every wrestler on the roster tied to a faction, to me 4 or 5 is probably enough, hell the attitude era and Vince Russo WCW era didn't have as many as AEW today..
What do ya'll think?..
- The Elite - Inner Circle - The Pinnacle - Dark Order - Jurassic Express - Best Friends - The Nightmare Family - The Factory - Team Taz - Death Triangle - The House of Hardy - Dolph Zigglers' Brothers Faction(forgot the name)
Hell, at this point it's criminal that AEW don't do some kind of "gang wars" style match/themed ppv with all the different factions waging war amongst one another to find out who's the dominant super group running the show.. then again, the Elite/Bullet Club 2.0 would come out on top i'm sure..

Yes there are multiple secret figure agents among us that are employed by the aforementioned promotions. Shush, you don't want the WWE representatives to show up on your doorstep in five minutes.. Are they even human?.. i think you've said enough.

When you think of the great jobbers over the years eg. Spike Dudley, Stevie Richards, Blue Meanie, Kaientai, Brooklyn Brawler, Just Joe etc.. the list goes on, basically wrestlers who show up and get destroyed by top talent in the ring to help elevate them on the program somehow. Has there ever been a women's jobber equivalent to the men, like one that really stands out in everyone's mind?. I was thinking about this the other day and all that came to my mind was maybe Alicia Fox or perhaps Dana Brooke or Lana for today's viewers?, we have so many memorable men's jobbers but i was having a hard time nailing down which women wrestlers stood out in this category. Maybe it's just me and i haven't really watched full episodes of WWE in years, i only catch the odd Youtube clip here and there if something interesting comes up. What are your guys thoughts?..
Does the Women's division need their own set of jobbers and can you pinpoint one that really stands out in your mind over the years?

Some kind of: "Luchadore, retrieve your mask match" - Two luchadores' masks would be hanging above the ring, the two luchadores wrestling in the match would awkwardly be covering their faces and their identities under a towel over their heads during their entire thing. Almost looking like two grown men wrestling drunk and blindfolded as they stagger around trying to attack one another, the aim is to get a ladder and fight their way up it to retrieve their mask and bring honor and tradition back home, the loser has to reveal their face to the world and bring great shame to their families back down Mexico way.. I always liked that TNA reverse battle royal abomination, 20 something guys all start the match in the ring, when the bell sounds they all book it to escape the squared circle in a frantic frenzy only to fight their way back into the ring at ringside once all men have left the ring. The two who successfully climb back in now has to fight in a regular old singles match.. what was the point of the other 18 or so guys being there if it's just gonna turn into a plain ol' singles match in the end?.. That Vinny Ru, a true visionary!
