Something something Jay Cutler is the less talented-but-luckier(-edit-and-dumber) twin of Jonah Ray Rodrigues.

Trading in my Wii U today, but unfortunately not going to be getting a Switch for mah birfday.  Gonna accumulate credit until I can snag it or wait after the holidays and pay off the difference.

Soon, you NASA-in-secret piece of fun.  Soon.

Giants undrafted rookie Jadar Johnson retires.

Part of me wishes that this is because he has a good business venture ahead of him as opposed to health, but I can't help but think there is something more.

I forgot about the humble bundle thingies... I have NBA 2k17 if anyone wants it.

Y'know, I'd take that one.  Been curious about an NBA game on the PC.

It won't be.  Supposedly a single minor leaguer coming back to Atlanta.  'Cause of course.

Sounds horrible to me  

No sympathy from me after that last Cubs/Braves series.  It's one baseball series.  Just let me have this.

My bad, my bad.

Series.  A Dodgers/Astros World Series.

Damn.  I was holding a little hope that the Braves could nab Gray, but there was no way Atlanta was going to part with any decent prospects and Oakland doesn't need veterans.

Houston is all the freak in on this season and rightfully so.  Would really want a Dodgers/Astros NLCS if they started today.

As a child, I remember vividly when I would sneak out of bed to go watch Jaws or whatever horror movie was playing on cable.  I also remember vividly when I fell out of love with the genre.  Maybe I had become desensitized or maybe there were just so many other things that intrigued me more, but alas, horror was not really my cup of tea anymore.

Then I woke up at 2.30 in the morning to the sound of a radio DJ talking about how the unidentified assassins were conducting mass homicide.  With blurred vision, I watched as a black man boarded himself up and chuckled about his fate.  I knew I had to find out whatever this was and devour it entirely.

To this day, that is one of my favorite scenes in all of film.  I'm eternally grateful for what Romero created.

Yep, I have retired to my new career of Fantasy Football Voodoo Practitioner.  I have a few people already making requests, but strangely, they all seem to be asking me to curse @The Chiksrara Special.

Ohhh yeah.

Finally finished the Inarius set, only to find on Icy Veins that Trag'oul is the new hotness.  Everything Corpse Lance, all the time!

Thabo Sefolosha leaves Hawks, heads to Utah on a two-year deal.

At this point, Atlanta will have the lowest payroll in the NBA when they take the court.

I had forgotten how...erm, awkward that armbar looks in the game.

Be like me and use both! 360 controller during matches, keyboard during edits

Yar, this be the way I sail the Fire Pro seas.  Sticks for the beats, keys for the deets.

Don't be fooled by the "Partial Controller Support" listed on the page.  I've played it with a Dualshock 4, wired XBox One, and wired XBox 360 controller.  All worked flawlessly (though for wireless DS4, go nab InputMapper or something akin to it.)

This sounds great, but I don't really game on PC, and don't have a gamepad for my laptop. Is there any advantage to getting it now, rather than waiting for a PS4 release?

I'll say that what sold me on the PC version is that I had picked up a cheap, wired 360 controller and had familiarity with Steam Workshop.  If you only want to play the matches and don't mind strictly doing your own edits (I'm leery of how downloadable characters will be presented for the PS4), then wait for the console release.

Springing up with a superkick during one of those feels immense.  Can't wait to create the Young Bucks and just have every move be...well, ya know.

The gameplay is exactly what I wanted.  This is FPWR for PC and I am going to lose a lot of time to this one.

Ref bumps.

That is all.

Finally had the chance to play a Switch yesterday and there is some NASA-level engineering with that thing.  Surprisingly comfortable, though the detached Joycons take a bit of getting used to.  Now to sell a kidney.

Bit the bullet, nabbed Injustice 2 for $40 at Gamestop.  I'd say it is a fun game so long as you haven't owned any of the more recent Mortal Kombats.  Even still, Short Girl loves it because superheroes, so I'm not complaining one bit.

How graphically intense is this supposed to be? I can get Binding of Isaac, Chroma Squad and similar games working fine on my Laptop I have hooked to my TV so I wonder if I can get this working.

You should be fine.  I can't imagine this would get any crazier than some of the more intense rooms in Issac, even with the maximum number of wrestlers or explosion effects.

So the Hawks are really all in on Kent Bazemore.  Goddamnit.  If this team wins 20 games, I'll be shocked.

Oh, and that rumored Kevin Love deal?  Good to know the front office learned nothing from the Howard stint.  "We need a name!"  Bite me.  This team can just bite me.

Yeah, I'm glad I held out during the Summer Sale.  This may stand alongside Jackbox as my goofy party game.

The Workshop integration for this looks like everything I hoped it would be.

It has Link to the Past and Super Mario RPG on it.

...anyone need a liver?  Spleen?  Slightly-somehow-used appendix?
