Beef is a self-hating kind of guy. He does the Sonic OT, he meets Big E and The Zimmer Man at a Dennys...it's a shame.

Being in Japan and seeing the demographic that buy shonen, you can understand all the tropes and "friendship is magic" shit.

I swear naruto is dead here, or more popular in the west now. Ain't seen a lick of it in the 2 years I been here

Columbus Short could use a fixer of his own.

After getting tangled in an altercation a West Los Angeles bar in March, Scandal's former Gladiator reportedly came clean to TMZ/

After a night at Gabe’s Bar and Grill, Short reportedly left a 37-year old man knocked out cold after the victim had a few words at the expense of Short’s estranged wife. Last month, the actor justified his actions during an appearance on Atlanta's V-103 station by saying he was defending his missus after the victim slapped her in the face with $20 bills.

TMZ says they got their hands on the apology Columbus via personal text message, where he wrote, "I know im texting and incriminating myself but I have to own what I did wrong in that situation.”

Short added, “Im so sorry and completely disappointed in myself. Whether I go to jail or not that will not be the worst punishment of all. Losing you guys."

Wait, you mean Rusev or the kid-killing, woman throwing piece of shit?

Rusev

I shouldn't call him the Zimmer Man even though he looks SO similar, it's really uncanny. Rusev doesn't deserve that.

We have a dude in WrassleGAF that loves to buy wrestling merchandise that doesn't look like wrestling merchandise. My question is why buy wrestling clothes period?

This War Machine dude is about to be in jail getting his guard passed for years. They're going to gang up on him and go from full mount to ground and pound. It's a shame that people are using this guy as an excuse to shit on MMA.

One piece is too huge.

The main reason it can never end is because there is literally nothing out right now that could replace it

It's crazy how good that became. Like for real, for as goofy a premise as stretchy rubber man, that shit gets hella dark.

One Piece has done really well. Never thought it would have the mileage it has and continue creating new and interesting looking characters.

There are plenty of things better than One Piece. One Piece just has a strong strong following

Im talking about how much money it makes and how many readers it draws for jump.

Nothing that is running currently could fill its shoes. Which is why I believe it's still running.

Naruto is in the same boat. Nothing else has naruto's international appeal and it doesn't look like anything ever will for the foreseeable future.

Which is why I believe that series is still around looooong after Kishimoto has lost any and all passion he once had for it. It's like he's given bullet points by higher ups and just meets all of them with zero effort towards having them make sense.

Wii U has the best selection of exclusives out for any of the current gen systems.

Unless you don't like Nintendo games.

But vita was always another level of L above wii-u. Like it was never not an L and will never not be an L. Wii-u is pretty great for a certain subset of consumer at least.

FTFY.

Nintendo has such a wildly diverse catalog that I can't see an honest consumer (particularly not one on GAF) being able to made the sweeping generalization of disliking Nintendo games in general. That'd be like saying you dislike movies and TV in general.

Thats a strong assumption, I feel the opposite. I think he has a bit too much, I think his shit was so successful they just let him do whatever for better or for worse.

Yea. With how off the rails things are, I'm not feeling much corporate mandate here.

So is Vita finally at the same L level as Wii U now?

The fact that Vita is mentioned in the same sentence as a home console is a W for Sony. They're still selling the Wii U and didn't scrap it because they can't afford to take the L. The market for $40 handheld games is drying up and this is proof. The Vita is doing great in Japan. It's not doing that bad in America.

However, for the price of a Vita I can buy a tablet.
