Which some would be fairly fluid. Say Yoshi-Hashi for instance who was in CMLL for 2010, he left to return to CMLL and I think only did the FantasticaMania shows if anything (to be related to North America) so to add him back in should he ever do a return tour would require someone going back finding the last stats and adding him back into the game.
This line of reasoning is why Bill's updates got so bloated in the first place. It doesn't take much work to add these guys back in if you want to use them. I say delete them if they don't wrestle regularly on US soil.
Take Keiji Mutoh for example. According to Cagematch he only wrestled in 3 matches outside of Japan from 2013 to today. All these were one-off's for TNA. Should he really be in the database because of that? Let's take a random name from the list posted: Masa Takanashi. According to wrestling-data he hasn't had a match in the USA since 2011. Why should he be in there?

12 Monkeys. I remember watching a review by confusedmatthew in which he thrashed the movie and because I used to hold his opinions about movies in high regard I refused to watch it for a while. After listening to podcast in which the participants raved about the movie and because I've become a fan of Terry Gilliam movies in general I decided to give it a try and I ended up loving it.

The Home Alone Movies
Scrooged
Trading Places (I know this isn't a christmas movie per se but we watch it anyway)
The Last Unicorn
Die Hard
Those are the ones I always end up watching. The rest depends on whatever is on TV.

And you probably won't find one. Only few scenario creators made pick packs to go with their scenarios. I suggest you look for the pictures you need here:

Do you see the "eye" icon in the editor? That is the new icon for spoiler tags. You can't write them yourself anymore. You have to klick on the "eye" icon.

Is it just me or aren't there as many guns in the game compared to previous games? All I keep finding are variations of the stupid pipe gun and rifle.

The original Die Hard is an unmatched action movie classic. None of the sequels ever managed to even come close to be as good as the original. Some where enjoyable movies in their own right though. Die Hard 2 was a good action movie. Die Hard 3 started out strong and evolved into a complete clusterfuck as the movie went on. But in my opinion it was still an enjoyable movie overall. But the cracks began to show.
Die Hard 4 was shit. And that had nothing to do with it being PG-13. Although it was a travesty that they had to censor McClane's catchphrase because of that. It concluded the evolution that started in Die Hard 2 from McClaine being an everyman into a generic action movie protagonist that can withstand superhuman amounts of punishment without as much as a scar that was completed with Die Hard 5. Although I'm still suspicious that they didn't just randomly take an generic action movie screenplay and decided to slap the name Die Hard on it and change the protagonist's name to John McClane.

Diamond City radio disappoints me as well. I know they probably have a reason why they play some of the same songs as in Fallout 3 but I find it just lazy for them not to include an all-new soundtrack. Obsidian managed to do that. And whatever algorithm they chose to pick out which song is played sucks. I swar to god I've listened to Butcher Pete like 10x by now and I barley get any of the new stuff.

It's better than Season 1 so far but still a mixed bag for me.

I don't think they care much about contradicting the canon. Apart from the basic elements they have to keep (like the Wayne's being murdered and Bruce growing up with Alfred) they only use elements from it if it suits the story they want to tell. And I honestly have no problem with that approach.
Edit:
New GothamSpoilerRiddler and Penguin reunited yay!
And FOR FUCKS SAKE GORDON! All you had to do is pull the trigger and we could've gone on with the series never mentioning Barbara again. But you couldn't do that, cold you? I know this may sound excessive but I really can't stand her character nor the actress that is playing her.
-
What would be cool about that? if you want to see regular crimes to be solved there are a metric shitton of cop shows on TV and just about as much movies out there. And given that John McClane ist just a normal cop I fail to see what would make that movie stand out from all the other movies other than the main characters name being John McClane.

And here's my pitch for the next Die Hard film:
Agreed. And if you're doing another one:
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T reference that piece of shit that was Die Hard 5. And Die Hard 4 for that matter. I think no one will hold it against whomever they get to write the next one of they pretend these 2 movies never happened.And I HATE HATE HATEEEEEEEEEE the idea of a John McClane origin story. These fuckers just don't get it, do they? One of the main reasons why the original Die Hard was so awesome at the time is that McClaine wasn't a indestructable special forces black ops Roidy Magoo demi-god like Schwarzenegger or Stalone. Neither was he a Martial Arts master that could take out hundreds of goons with his little finger like Jan-Claude Van Damme or Steven Segal. What made John McClane so relatable was that he was an everyman! Just a normal guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. No special training and no super powers or anything like that. Just a cop that happens to stumble into a hostage situation and has to think on his feet. THERE IS NO GOD DAMN ORIGIN STORY TO TELL! I would hate for them to tell a bullshit story that will no doubt try to sell us that he was somehow the chosen one destined to be at the Nakatomi Plaza.
At this point I'd be happy if they never made another Die Hard ever again because It seems like no one involved in these mvies these days seems to realize why we loved the original Die Hard and to an extend parts 2 and 3 as well. Just let it die already.

I've been watching the show...okay, actually, I binge watched Season 1 on Netflix and then got caught up on Hulu. Either way, I really like the show and am interested to see where it's going. I happen to enjoy Bruce and Selina, even though it does seem a little forced. The thing that keeps messing with me is the fan service. Okay, we introduced all of these characters that people know from the comics, or from the different TV series, or from the movies, and here we go. They're Easter eggs sometimes, while others are a little more on the nose. Honestly, I could do with a little less of that.

Yeah, there are some choices I really don't understand. Like young Poison Ivy. I don't know why she is in the show. She has done nothing of note so far. It's a role that could've been filled by any other orphan.
And what character in particular are you refering to?

It's a shame. He was one hell of a drummer.

Early side mission spoiler above
SpoilerAs I've said numerous times I haven't done barley any main story stuff and spent most off my time exploring the wasteland and doing a side mission here and there. Now I don't know where exactly I found it but during those explorations I picked up a automatic pipe sniper riffle that helped me a lot when I eventually god to the car plant. It uses the .38 rounds which you should be able to find a lot of. I also picked Codsworth as my companion as he is OP as fuck.
I went into the plant via the side entrance which leads you to a staircase with a platform in a large room. I used Codsworth as a tank to take most of the fire while I stayed in the back atop of of the platform using my sniper rifle to take care of most of the guys. That is how I got through the rest of the plant as well. Use Codsworth as a tank and take out the raiders from a safe distance with my rifle.
Also bring a lot of stimpacks or purified water or anything that can heal you but doesn't cause radiation damage. There is a small town called covenant to the east of the plant where you can trade to get some stuff. The lady running the shop there usually has like 9-11 stimpacks. That is if you haven't already done the side-mission there. Depending on what you did you might better avoid the town.

Can weapons no longer get damaged over time? I thought I could use one of the 5 identical pistols I have and combine them like on the old ones.
Apparently not. I wondered about that as well. But I suppose that game mechanic wouldn't mesh well together with their new crafting future. I suppose what they want you to do is either sell the duplicate guns or thrash them for parts that you can use to modify other guns.
And I don't think I will be spending too much time on the crafting feature. I just feel like the constant collecting of random shit and fast travelling back and forth slows me down. I'll probably use it to make some guns or ammo but I won't be building any settlements any time soon unless I have to.

Slight sidemission spoilers:
SpoilerSo I still haven't continued the main quest that sents to to Diamond City. I've been goofing around in the wasteland collecting better gear than I probably should have, doing side missions and collecting caps.
Has anyone been to Covennant yet? If so, how have you dealth with them? I'm really not sure how to do it. On one hat what they tell me about the synths sounds scary as fuck. On the other hand, as Dan said, it could never been proven that they have been involved in anything and these assholes are torturing people. I suppose I'll just wait with finishing this until I know more about the synths.
Only complaint I have so far is that things are a bit to easy. I've managed to raid several Raider camps and even a super mutant settlement inside an abandoned hospital. And Codsworth one-hits fools left and right

Nope. You can play any of the post-interplay Fallouts without playing the games that were released before and after them.

I have to vent about the new Bond movie again. It's probably the most disappointed I've been about a movie this year. I am one of these fans who like the darker tone and the overarching story of Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace (I actually enjoyed that movie a lot more than Spectre despite it's flaws) and ever since I saw those I've been waiting for the resolution of this plot. I was kinda disappointed when they decided to ignore it it for Skyfall but since that movie was so awesome (apart from the stupid Home-Alone-for-grownups ending) that it didn't matter much.
Now Spectre is supposed to be the end of this "saga" that weaves the story threads of the preceding movies together. And they do a piss-poor job at it. They want the Bond series since the Craig reboot to be this marvel-like universe where everything is connected together but they're not willing to put any effort into it like Marvel does.
WARNING: Heavy plot and character revelation spoilers and long, frustrated rant ahead:
SpoilerIt all starts with the fact that Quantum is suddenly Spectre. Now it could be that Quantum was a front for Spectre for some reason. If they went with that explanation and gave me a decent reason for it I would've been on board with that. But they can't even be arsed to explain it. Quantum is now Spectre because fan-service.
Then there is this stupid "It was me Austin! It was me Austin all along"-type reveal that is supposed to connect everything even though it makes no sense in context of the previous movies. Especially in the case of Skyfall. As mentioned above they broke with the story of Casino and Quantum. Silva had nothing to do with that organization. IIRC he even mentioned that he was working alone, making his own missions. His raison d'être was to get revenge on the MI6 and M in particular. That he got to mess with Bond was an added bonus. It makes no sense for that event to be orchestrated by some mysterious figure behind the scenes. They never even hint at that. But fuck it, they're going to bring it up anyway because they don't care about continuity.
And the motivation of the character who is supposed to be to Bond what Joker is to Batman, what Voldemort is to Harry Potter and what Hans Gruber is do John McLane is soooo laughable. It's literally daddy issues. They wasted Christoph Waltz for this nothing part. The reveal of his name is pointless as well. It has no significance in the context of the movie. It was never mentioned before and they never build up to it. In fact he kinda mentions it in passing. They could have named him Heinz Schröder Rübenfeld and it would've made no difference. It's purely fan service. And does anyone actually believe that Silva would've taken orders from this guy? For the record I don't think Waltz is doing a bad job. He is merely working with what they're giving him and that ain't much.
They also don't even try to capture the same dark mood that the first movies in the reboot had. This is much more like the 90s Bonds that are about the action, the chases and the one-liners. And if you enjoyed it that's fine. It just wasn't what I was looking for in this movie. I think I would've been much less critical of all this if Bond actually gave a shit about what happened and was still hellbent on avenging the one girl he actually loved. But at no point does it feel like the stakes are high or Bond is invested emotionally in what is going on. Craig may be more cool and laid back but that doesn't make sense for the story this movie is supposed to tell.
The villain also falls for the same mistakes all other bond villains fall victim too. I get that there are certain tropes and conventions that you just expect from a Bond film but it's 2015 and Bond #24 and they still haven't found a way to make it more believable. Also he's supposed to be the big boss. I expect him to be a bit more cunning and smart than the other villains. I'm talking especially about the “grande finale”, if you can call it that, in the old MI6 building. That was a beginner's mistake.
Then there is this sub-plot about a politically motivated new super-invasive security measure being introduced by the intelligence services for the common good and to replace the old guard of secret agents and their “prehistoric” methods. Of course that turns out to be a ploy instigated by the super shady secret organization that has infiltrated the agencies to gain more power which was ripped off straight from Captain America 2 and seems to be the theme of every spy movie that comes out these days. I just love that they pretend that M16 have the moral high ground here despite being just as shady. Albeit on a much smaller scale but still very shady. And you can't really compare the work a secret agent does with the work a drone does. Especially if he is deployed in a country like Russia or China where doing a drone strike would most likely cause WWIII.
Add to that the fact that this movie looks boring. One thing I loved about Skyfall was the awesome pictures that Mendes managed to conjure up. The vibrant colors. You could pause the movie at any point and have a perfect wallpaper. This is by the same director and despite having some good shoots it doesn't look nearly as breathtaking. They've also wasted Batista. And remember the fuzz they made about Monica Bellucci being the first Bond girl that is about the same age as him? Well, if you saw the movie poster you know that she isn't the one that gets the spotlight. She is only in the movie for about 5 minutes before they write her out and replace her with Lea Seydoux who is about 20 years younger. And like Christopher Waltz Seydoux isn't a bad actress. Like him she is merely working with what they gave her and like him it isn't much. And the worst thing about this is that for the short time they spent together Craig and Bellucci have actual chemistry.
Which is something you can't say about him and Seydoux. It is the same as every hokey Bond romance. At first she has no interest in him and proclaims that she hates any form of violence. Then after Bond violently as much as anticlimactically gets rid of Batista she suddenly falls for him and the powers of his magic penis.
I know most of what I do is rage against series tropes and conventions but when they rebooted the series they promised me something different. Something that was more mature and dark and I liked it. And I wanted it to end in the same manner as it began. But they seemed to have abandoned that approach to something more akin to the early movies in the series. And if you are into that you'll probably enjoy this movie. I just wanted something different and that is why I am so disappointed.
And then there is the song they choose for this movie. “Writing's on the Wall” by Sam Smith. I actually don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. They obviously tried to capture the mood of “Skyfall” and make another big Bond ballad. And while the song never reaches the highs “Skyfall” did I think it's good in his own right. It's Sam Smith's singing voice which I can't stand. Especially when he is hitting the high notes using falsetto in the build-up to the chorus when the orchestra suddenly pipes down and they put the focus on his voice. It just sounds so whiny and weak. Adele would've nailed that part but Smith doesn't manage to do it. I'm not familiar with his work so I don't know if this is his trademark style of singing but it doesn't work for me.

Are the dialogue choices just bad in general or are they like significantly worse than the previous games?
Compared to FO3? I suppose it is about the same quality of questions (average). Kinda like in Skyrim. Compared to NV it feels worse. But I really love New Vegas and would choose it over FO3 anytime so maybe that is just the fanboy in me speaking. Plus as already mentioned I haven't played nearly long enough to make my final judgement on the matter. These are really just the first impression based on the first few hours I played. Ask me again in about a week and I can tell you more.
-
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the "streamlined" dialogue system either to be honest. I always feel like I'm missing some information because I can't go pack and go through the choices I have. But to be fair I haven't done much in terms of the main quest line and spent most of the time I played wandering around the wasteland doing sidequest so maybe things will get more interesting as the story progresses.

Are you asking whether we should edit the title or whether spoilers work or not?
It it is the 2nd: According to Kliq the forum software is still buggy and because of that spoiler tags don't seem to be working for non-donators.

Avatar: The Last Airbender. From the looks of the few minutes of the show I've seen I thought it was just an attempt by a western studio to profit off of the popularity of Anime by ripping off some of their more popular tropes. A stupid show for kids created not to tell a compelling story but simply to sell merch. I decided that I was too old for it and skipped it during it's entire run. It was a combination of a friend of mine being really into Korra (the sequel show) and trying to get me interested into the show as well as the Nostalgia Critic bringing it up very often in his reviews that made me finally watch it. And I loved it. Each episode. As well as the sequel show (although I admit that it had a lot of problems).
