Danny O'Dwyer is fixing to enjoy himself a wrestling PPV on the WWE Network. He should watch December to Dismember and sit in on the Powerbombcast next time. I'd love to hear his reaction to it.
 
just listened to the podcast last night finally. Samantha was really cool and her game looks really interesting. would definitely like to hear her again on the podcast in the future.

oh and the EVO talk was just dumb.

man, there's content to last me through the weekend now...

times are good.

no matter your opinion on the state of affairs for Giantbomb.

If you're still genuinely enthusiastic about the guys and what they do there is a lot of fresh content being served right now.

I actually have to go to Latest to find some stuff I missed from earlier in the week.

Watching the Destiny beta quick look. One of the first times I've ever felt "backseat driver anxiety" when watching someone else play a game. The way Jeff kept letting the Hive Thralls run straight into him was killing me.

Did you do the GAF thing and make inappropriate comments about his appearance purely for his own good.....

No interest in DOTA but the impressions will be interesting.

Drew and Brad are totally gonna end up watching wrestling by the end of the year. Believe that.

Guys, if there isn't a video of that part in the Sumo game where they fall off the platform and one goes through the table overdubbed with the audio and commentary from Mankind's Hell in a Cell fall, we will all have collectively failed as a species.

Please, someone do this.

There was some great content on Screened back in the day. It would be a shame if it was lost forever.

Since AnimeVice is still basically alive but completely unattended to, I thought I'd check it out and yeah... the Screened logo is still there. Although at least the stories point to Tested links. lol
 
So I am watching the comboman quicklook and I have learned about a new foreign American food: Combos. They don't look too appetising.

They are ok. I probably have them once every year or so. They are just expensive for the small bags that you get (But then that is basically every snack now-a-days)
 
The Nightmare Cooperative looks like something I will mark down to buy when I upgrade my iPad this Fall (I am still rocking an iPad 1 from 2010 - that is a crashy mess right now).
 
I fell asleep watching December to disremember last night

When you know the story of how Heyman (and Lagana I think) originally wrote Punk to win that Chamber match, that PPV (or at least the main event) is very interesting. I believe Punk was supposed to take out on the bigger guys much in the match (Show if I remember right), and the whole story was to make Punk seem a huge threat.

There is a podcast somewhere (I think Dave Lagana's old podcast) that went in-depth on the whole thing. Would love to listen to that again if I could find it,
 
i haven't watched wrestling in years but the podcast and the concept of the network tempts me at times to return.

Or maybe i should continue to listen to the pain of others LOL.

It's weird at the moment, the last few years the highs have been amazing but then we get big lows too. Some of the stuff, like Bryan, Bray Wyatt & The Shield has been some of my favourite stuff in a long time. Great promos and some amazing matches.

But they're in a lull right now, the loss of Bryan & a few others has made it seem like they're at a loss as to what to do. Hopefully the run up to Summerslam will be better.

Did anyone archive Screened.com before it was shut down ?

I seem remember Rorie and/or Alex saying they had copies of the video content still. So hopefully it'll resurface somewhere at some point. I really dug their video features on that site.
 
Things are so bad in wrestling right now, I have stopped watching regularly and starting playing DOTA and giving anime a chance with the time I gained. Tonight's PPV will be a horrible trainwreck - but seeing as I am locked into the Network for another 2 PPVs I am going to watch anyway.

I cannot see WWE turning things around until Royal Rumble 2015 at least.

Summerslam will be a mess too I fare, as WWE caters too much to celebs for that event every year.

It's a bummer how much they've managed to lose people's interest. I still watch Raw every week but a few months ago I was watchin Raw, Smackdown & NXT every week, now I'm just not motivated to watch.

I do still stick on the Network every now and then and will watch what's on if it's something interesting. Some of their original shows are pretty good, I've enjoyed countdown and the docs (which are broadcasts of their DVDs to be fair) are fantastic.

Man GB is on fire right now. I don't think we've seen that much content since...ever? Especially during the summer drought.

Possibly right before the end times of whisky when they started doing a lot more premium content (load our last save, etc.)

But yeah, content is coming out at an alarming pace now that GBeast is up and running. I'd still kill for Vinny to get on a podcast. I'd love for him to get on scoops and the wolf. Just call it Scoops and the Wolf sponsored by VinnCo.
 
Great content from GB these days, but the only thing I do not like about the current direction is that Unprofessional Fridays feels like it is becoming a hassle for them in the same way Whiskey Media Happy Hour used to be.

They stopped doing that show as an effort to try and produce more irregular subscriber content - Load or Last Save (Souls) and Random PC Game, and random live shows dedicated to a single game (Backflips 'n BioForge, Bradley May Cry) were introduced because they dropped Happy Hour.

GBNY seems to be trying a few things, but GB Prime seems happy to get UPF out each week and be done with it.

Would anyone else be happy to lose UPF in an effort to shake things up a bit again?

That would probably be a way to get me into listening to Bombing again. Alex is alright but I don't find Patrick very interesting or funny to listen to.

Not really, no. I like having at least one regular feature each week.

Yep. But we gotta get at least one Danny + Gang Beasts run outta them first
