Those three Nolan Batman movies would have been better had they not had Batman. Just better crime movies with the police winning the day in the end and being given those moral questions. I'm not even sure Nolan wanted to use Batman, he just did because it was more money thrown at him.

It was like GTA V if GTA V was the exact same, but you have five extra missions as a guy with an awful throat cancer stopping a few of your crimes. ANGST!

So, I hear Hogan is quitting TNA. This means TNA will definitely go under in about six months, because Hogan doesn't quit a company unles he can later pretend the reason they went under is because he wasn't there.

How this man is able to convince so many people he's a draw, even though evidence as far back as WCW proves otherwise is astounding.

Unfortunately because people still react to him when he shows up. Mostly those who don't really follow wrestling too much, but enough people that make it seem like he is still a big deal for when he spins it to " you should hire me brother Mrs. Dixie!"

Dawg, where are you getting confused about WWE's current storylines? I can help you.

Why didn't Triple H fire Daniel Bryan for colluding with a WWE official?

 

[slightconfuse]

DKR was ok enjoyable. Bane was pretty awesome. clearly the weaker of the 3 films

 

[jmdajr]

Batman Begins is the best. I don't know why I didn't like it when it came out. It's the best of the series.

Mighty fine flick

Daniel Bryan is good for business. He's just not a "face of the company" guy.

Why didn't Triple H fire Daniel Bryan for colluding with a WWE official?

Ok, this one's a little tricky so I'll try to break it down in a way that's simple to understand.

-It was actually Triple H that colluded with the ref. This was subtly revealed when he offered Armstrong a lucrative severance package and promised to take care of him when he fired him.

-Triple H fired only Armstrong instead of both he and Daniel Bryan because Daniel Bryan is a loose cannon. He was fired before and look how that turned out. Armstrong can be controlled and bought with cash, Bryan would run to the dirtsheet writers and expose Triple H. Triple H knew his trickery wouldn't hold up to the careful observation of Dave Meltzer, so he decided that simply stripping D.B. of the title and having Orton defeat him in the ring is the best course of action.

Does this help?

But in terms of canon, it's still Daniel Bryan that colluded with him. We ain't talking about under the table stuff right now.

If Triple H does not like Daniel Bryan, why not fire him for such a major transgression? This is threatening the legitimacy of the business and their officials, and Daniel Bryan gets awarded not only his job, but also a title match for it?

Imagine if it was revealed that an NFL player colluded with an official to call the game their way, does that player play the next week?

 

[strobogo]

That player main events the Superbowl the next week.

 

[KenOD]

In terms of "canon", no one actually believes that Bryan pulled any such trick with the ref, outside of Puppet H and JBL that is.

In terms of Cannon. http://www.wwe.com/videos/wwe-nxt-yoshi-tatsu-vs-lucky-cannon-25010474

Although Triple H doesn't like D.B., even he has acknowledged that he is popular with the WWE Universe and in that way, good for business. What he can't tolerate is D.B. being WWE Champion. If Triple H fired D.B., he'd make him into a martyr plus he'd have nuclear heat with the talent in the locker room. He decided it's best to keep D.B. and bury him so his popularity naturally declines.

If Roger Goodell caught Tom Brady spying on the other team, he'd blame it on someone else because Brady is good for business.

Exactly. Bryan is Austin, just not nearly as rebellious. Trips is Vince, but a little more callous since Bryan didn't do anything to him at all (Austin stunned Vince like 80 thousand times)

And yeah, you're not supposed to believe Bryan colluded (COLLUSION~!) with Armstrong, but Trips did. Trips fired him to keep him quiet, which Scott didn't know of, but he's getting bought off.

Eventually Scott will come back and be all 'I AM MR. INTEGRITY, the person who told me to count fast wa-' *Kick Wham Pedigree*

I think on Giant bombast they said it best. At this point controllers should be perfect enough. No need to keep fucking with them.

I mean I still use a steering wheel, gas&brake. It works.

As a left handed person I lolled hard at the people pretending like it matters that left and right are interchangable. Your thumbs have nothing to do with that. It doesn't matter if you push A with your right thumb or your left.

A mouse, where you use your entire hand to point to a location is one thing, but thumbs doing stuff? No difference at all.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Sure that controller looks stupid but what's it matter if it's intuitive? I don't give a fuck, but if it makes it easier to play Civ V in bed I'm on that ish

This is coming from someone who HATES Steam.

It's an extremely conceptual controller that uses high accuracy trackpads instead of sticks. If it works it will be awesome for FPS and RTS and shit for literally everything else. Makes sense for a hard core PC player but will be rubbish for a lot of console games (interestingly enough the ones that were already better on PC will be excellent for this controller)

That's the best case scenario. I don't think it's likely that this thing is ever made or if it is, widely adopted.

I guess. PC gamers love their fucking mouse and keyboard, and Console gamers like what they have. So yeah..I don't know.

There is not a shred of evidence, Bryan would sue and win a wrongful termination suit in a second if all their evidence is an inaudible "they got us Bryan"

He bribed Armstrong to frame Bryan so he could prevent him from becoming champ even if he beat Orton, it was never intended to fire Bryan, the company needs B+ talent.

 

[KenOD]

You can stick with any current or future gamepad you use with PC, it's another option. One that Valve admits is trying to fill the section of games that don't control well with a standard home console influence game pad, like say RTS or or train simulators and other keyboard and mouse controlled titles that aren't supported by gamepads like my two great PC loves of Independence War and Descent (yes I know work arounds, but those are poor).

Plus who knows, the entire controller is going to be moddable, for those that want it to be like a 360 or Dual Shock 4 controller without just buying those, they could release parts to make it so.

Then why do we not have an investigation going right now instead of shitty 11 on 3 handicap matches and shit? These were very serious charges, and it feels really shady that Daniel Bryan wants to let it go so easily. It's almost like he wants this whole thing to disappear instead of clearing his name...

Man, Maffew needs to hit up some NWA for Everyone Talks Too Much, it's almost completely audible. Everything.

 

[DMczaf]

If you were accused of colluding with an official and calling into question your character as a professional and a MAN, wouldn't you want to clear your name instead of "What's done is done. I just want to be WWE champion!!"?

Daniel Bryan is hiding something.
