I watched Kingsglaive and the Final Fantasy XV Brotherhood anime over the weekend.

As a movie, Kingsglaive is definitely incomplete and you're left with a "Where's the sequel?" feeling.

However, when you combine it with Brotherhood, it's an amazing way to set up the world and main characters of FFXV. The movie sets up the world and you get to see the events that set the plot in motion, the anime gives you back story on the main characters.

Can't wait to start playing tomorrow.
 
Hope he's in the SSS16 next year, or at the Unboxing show next month. You going to that? Kinda excited and also kinda wary of getting too overhyped at the whole mystery aspect of it
so hoping Hero comes over
.

yeah, back on the front row finally, can't wait. Riddle on that show would cause the entire place to lose their shit.

So how is everyone's Black Weekend going? My haul is small so far. I got the Harry Potter complete movie set for $35 and got menu priced Dominos at half off. Made $40 worth of pizza $20. I'm also going to do an Amazon promotion where you can get $10 off $30 of books today.

For me:

- The Witcher III
- XCOM 2
- Bound
- Jazzpunk
- ReCore
- Home Alone 1 & 2
- Creed blu-ray
- considering getting some rad Pumas on Amazon today

For son (Xmas):

- Gameboy Player
- Mother 3
- Lucas amiibo
- Mother T-shirt
- Third Strongest T-shirt
- Runaway Brothers T-shirt
- Star Man Hoodie
- Earthbound Handbook
- Mother 3 Handbook
- Legends of Localization: Earthbound book
- Courage Badge keychain

All that for only $1M.
 
I wish the hardcore Tye Dillinger fans would realize outside of that ten chant which has him over, he's not much on the mic and is average in the ring.

I like Tye and would love to see him do solid enough when he's called up but I'm not gonna be shocked or offended if his gimmick crashes when he hits the main-roster and he ends up being another Adam Rose.

My parents asked me for stuff that I want so they can put it under the tree for me for Christmas and I'm like 'I'm grown I can just buy everything I want'

so now I gotta pretend there's some plastic junk I want.

Vince is going to bury him so bad.

I bought a complete works of HP Lovecraft book for 10 bucks this weekend. That's about the extent of my Black Friday shopping because

FUCK THE BLACK FRIDAY

#Shoot - Black Friday is a retail tradition that should be outlawed
 
Tye's biggest issue is that he's 35.

I wouldn't say no to a short main roster run where he can milk the gimmick for a few months and make some merch money.

My mom always threatens not to get me and my brother presents if we imply that Santa isn't real.

We're in our thirties.

My daughters aren't getting shit.

I wonder what I'd buy my son if he was my daughter. It's so easy having a son. >_>

Fine with me. People are animals.

(I did my shopping from the couch.)

I'm proud to be a fucking gamer first and foremost. None of the shit i download onto my consoles were provided by shitty labor conditions in China and I get to support artists. Yeah, I'm a hippie. Bite me.

Thanks for making me feel bad about wanting physical games. I guess I'll just kill myself.

I'll wait to hear how Bayley and Balor were actually successes

I'll wait

Go on, I'll wait

*turns to dust after Bayley loses arm wrestling contest and Balor has demon entrance on Raw nobody watches*

Bayley sells a lot of merchandise and puts smiles on faces. #success #blessed

Physical stuff is the best, kill the idea that everyone has access to perfect Internet service providers that never have limits, fuck up or lag

Bayley is already succeeding as being a basically universally over babyface who sells a ton of merch. She's one of the few pure-face characters that's pretty goddamn over.

Balor, however, I'm still nervous about. Them debuting the Demon on fucking Raw and basically making it "a thing" sent up all sorts of red flags. NXT handled Demon Balor so much better
 
how most people from nxt crash and burn on the main roster.
To me, the real genuine failures I feel would probably be Rose, Vaudevillains, Bo Dallas, the Ascension, and Breeze, albeit Breeze is slowly making a crawl up with Breezango if they ever decide to take it seriously.

Crews as well. But when looking at it, when you take into consideration the likes of Owens, Zayn, the 4HW, Balor, Corbin (yes, Corbin counts), Enzo & Cass, Bliss, Carmella, AA, hell even Mojo is doing decent for himself, compared to the proper failures I think more succeed then fail.

I guess a bizarre gimmick is the big issue when looking at how the big failures are the likes of a guy who parties, a tag-team acting like an early 1900's circus act and some guys dressing up like Kiss meets the Road Warriors.

Demon Balor to me has been handled awfully all around given that it isn't a demon who's a separate being or character, it's Finn painting himself and crawling around a few times and then virtually nothing changing. Even in NXT that was essentially the case, which is a shame because it makes the whole thing look more like just a blatant cash-grab instead of something that fits the character. If anything at least Raw tried giving an explanation behind it.

Demon Balor badly needs to have an upgrade in a more violent moveset or at least a special finisher or fuck, something unique.

The Ascension
Tyler Breeze
Bo Dallas

But you know who is succeeding?

The guy who got no sold by Rusev the night he debuted?

Oh, I agree with everything you said. But I just meant, in comparison, NXT handled the Demon better than WWE.

midcarders getting called up to be midcarders is fine, it's not a failure

Sami Zayn is definitely a failure, he deserves better
Ascension are failures top to bottom
Vaudevillains too

the others are where they kinda have to be. The problem isn't that they're midcarders, the problem is that the midcard booking is irrelevant these days

The Ascension were always shit. They only reason they got a long NXT title reign is because the NXT tag division at the time was complete dog shit. The only reason they got called up was because they're both old and had nothing else to do in NXT.

That being said, while I think the Ascension is complete dog shit, I still feel sorry for them since they were immediately buried upon arrival.

Was randomly thinking about this earlier.

Why wasn't Undertaker part of Summer Slam '91? He had just squashed Snuka at WM but was nowhere to be found for SS. Same for Jake Roberts.

Any story to this or was it just "creative has nothing for you"?

#Shoot - Black Friday is a retail tradition that should be outlawed

It's a tough decision to make, you need to have these sales to drive a profitable business. The holidays are really the only time most retailers go in the black.

On the flip side, yeah I don't think stores should be starting these sales during a holiday.

Let me be clear, I still think the Big Show character is stale and fucking boring, but after watching this interview last night, I was reminded, again,that the man behind the character is seemingly one of the most genuine and nicest dudes imho.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrJazZkHj7E

My favorite is when he gets antsy in middle of interview because he has to go take a shit.

That man could have been my brother in law

And if it's AAA, it's produced in soul-sapping crunch-time conditions where developers don't go home for days on end and never see their family and children.

Shit just seems fucking dangerous. You always hear about people being trampled/beaten up/killed at Wal-Mart and shit. Stores are probably filled well behind their capacity. Traffic around retail areas is always way more dangerous since everybody is probably road raging. Not to mention anyone who has to actually work those days is being yanked away from their families on a fucking holiday. All so you can save $200 on a television that the store is trying to get rid of because it's not a very good product and they can't sell it otherwise.

Black Friday is a terrible thing that needs to be regulated.
