Showing some love here for Mega Man 2, because:

- the best weapon in the history of video games (Metal Blade)
- the best soundtrack in the history of video games (Bubble Man, Flash Man, Quick Man, Wily's Castle 1)
- Wily morphing into an alien for the final boss (but not really) freaked the hell out of me as a kid


Anyway, Raw is bad.

Metal Blade is why I like 3 more. Give me lovely weapons like Top Spin, so I don't have to sleepwalk through the whole game. Besides, 5 is the best Mega Man anyway.

this is how TV works tbh

Having worked in TV, it would honestly be more like, "We don't like the script, but you can't change more than 30% of it without giving you a writing credit. So here is the match laid out as it is which can't change, but the good news is that you get to decide which hand of the winner is raised after the match. Make it better, or you're fired!"

Speaking of Peacock, it ain't doing so well.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/23/viacomcbs-roku-shares-jump-on-report-that-comcast-is-considering-deal.html

10 million paid subs after a full year. Ad revenue is apparently ok, but I wonder how long that will last when advertisers realize no one is really watching The Office, they just have it on for background noise.

There's rumors that Comcast is considering partnering with ViacomCBS or locking up a deal with Roku (or outright buying them.)
Guess being the exclusive home of wwe and the office and ONLY those two shows might not have been the best way to start a streaming service

So my spouse has been watching Voyager for the first time and there was an episode where the crew go to Los Angeles in 1996 and they put black Spock in a durag to hide his ears.

Creepy. This is literally the episode I'm watching right now. For Voyager it's actually pretty good and has two solid cameos in Ed Begley Jr and Sarah Silverman.

Tucker on his release posted:

Yeah I mean of course, it’s never fun to lose your job or whatever. I hadn’t been in that positive of a creative position I would say since the split of Heavy Machinery. So, like I said, obviously disappointed, but I think some people say that, for them, their releases were surprising or came out of nowhere – I was pretty sure I was gonna get released.

After I hit my former partner in the head with a briefcase and then we didn’t have a wrestling match, I’m like, ‘Uhh, I kinda know where this thing’s headed, I think I know where this thing’s headed’. So that was kind of at least my thought process through that horseshit

on the breakup with Otis posted:

I was never told really. The first time I found out that it might happen was at TVs the day that we did the Talking Smack segment, I found out a couple of hours before that, ‘Hey we’re gonna do this Talking Smack thing where they’re gonna say that like…’, but it wasn’t like a hard split really, because they were just putting us on different brands and they were kayfabing everybody on what was up. And then a few weeks later we do the El Gran Gordo thing with Otis in a mask pretending not to be Otis, and then I think the split happened two days after that.

I wasn’t booked that day, the day the split happened, I wasn’t booked to be on the show that day. And then I got a call at like 1:00 in the afternoon saying, ‘Hey, we need you to come to the arena’. I’m like, ‘Okay…’. And then I wasn’t even told until, I don’t even know, like 3:30 or 4:00 what was gonna go down. And that plans changed a couple of times, and looking back on it, I don’t know this, but I’m very sure, I feel confident that the way that it happened was so that I wouldn’t ask a bunch of questions, and so that I would kinda be frazzled into doing it, which is exactly what ended up happening.

So honestly I didn’t really get any answers on that (plans for Otis’ MITB run) either. I think that Otis getting the briefcase was a real last minute decision, I believe, I don’t know that either. The truth of the matter is, no I don’t really have any set answers, I didn’t get any, I feel like I was definitely lied to straight to my face on multiple occasions.

It looks like Seinfeld was Sony & Friends was Warner Bros. so they probably won't get either, I think. Maybe. I don't understand how things work now.

It's still weird to me that it's called Peacock and not Universal+ or whatever. And that they advertise having The Office and not having Fast & Furious, Harry Potter and Jurassic Park.

Generally, streaming deals are limited in time, and rights revert to the holder at the end (but are typically renegotiated before the end of the period if it's something popular). Since Sony doesn't really have a streaming network anyone cares about, it'll get renegotiated and with multiple companies vying for the rights, will probably be more expensive. Friends is on Home Box Office Maximum, also owned by Warner, so that's not going anywhere.

You have to laugh over Tucker betraying Otis… So Otis will lose the briefcase… so the Miz will lose for a year, then get the title and hold it for less than two weeks… and then canonically get eaten by zombies.

The WWE is an amazing entertainment company and never why they intend.

the WWE network was awesome if you like wrestling history. Peacock sucks rear end and it is nigh impossible to be a wrestling fan and know what you want to watch then find it and put it on without a tremendous headache. I hope it fails and they bring the network back.
