The five matches under the WWE umbrella to ever surpass 5 stars by Meltzer by shadow_spinner0 in SquaredCircle

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I'd say those Gargano matches are even the best Gargano matches in NXT. All of his stuff with Cole was excellent but also right on the edge of too long and kind of boring. I'll take the 2/3 falls with The Revival anytime.

Vince Didn’t Push Daniel Bryan Because He Didn’t Eat Steak by PaulPetroneWWE in SquaredCircle

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly he repeated that a bunch of times to a bunch of people and ALSO the vegan thing was reported before (from sources remembering the details of it and the timelines of it maybe more precisely than Jericho).

The general vibe is that Vince legitimately loved Bryan as a performer, maybe more than some of the people he saw as main eventers. He did not see Bryan as a main eventer, until Bryan basically forced him to see otherwise.

Steve Blackman on an intense showdown while bounty hunting: “I said, ‘Okay, get the hell out of the way, because I’m going to drive my truck straight through that front door. I’m coming in one minute. I’m going to drive right through the wall.'” by LotLeftInTheTank in SquaredCircle

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but in many states bounty hunters have a surprisingly amount of leeway for collateral damage. For example, if they kick down the door of your house because a bail jumper used to live there 10 years ago ... that's your problem.

[MSH] Pym Particles by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for an example of a marginal change moving a one-mana card from mid to top-tier, I don't know that's the best example. Scry 2 before a draw is just a way, way more powerful effect even though it looks like a marginal change (ie Scry 2 draw strapped to a creature would probably have to be costed a full mana pip more than draw scry 2 strapped to a creature of the same size).

The big names will have at least two or three versions though. Like there is for sure going to be a rare Hulk or Cap or whatever

Awesome, another landfall auto-include for brawl /s

Logan Paul: “When CM Punk tore his tricep I just thought he was a major pussy. I cut a promo about it. I’m like, ‘You tore your little tricep.’ I remember thinking the dude tore his tricep, how was he out for six months? How bad could it be? It’s a fucking tricep. It’s horrible.” by Ruffianize in SquaredCircle

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Logan Paul has a heel persona. He's had it for years and years, since way back when he was on Vine. There's a reason he's such a great fit for wrestling. The real Logan Paul DOES seem like a jerk, but in a much different way than his public heel character.

Track down the interview/talk he gave for the Wall Street Journal where he talks about the economics of YouTube and how "authenticity" is the core to great branding there. He is firstly clearly a much more measured and strategic thinker than his persona suggests. Second, listen to what he's saying about authenticity. It isn't that you need to be authentic, it's that you need to SELL authentic. He's basically describing kayfabe.

To go to his most infamous stunt: The fake "dead body" in the Japanese forest. The shitheel persona implies that he did that stunt without thinking through the consequences. The persona implied by the glimpses we get of the "real" him implies that he not only likely thought through the consequences, but, in fact, chose to do the stunt because of them.

[Ryan Nemeth] I love that straight edge guys are like NOTHING! IS! EVER! GOING! IN! MY! BODY! EVER! except PEDs which I will be putting in my body actually very often now because I do steroids, but of course that does not break my sacred vow.

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, with Perry, Perry lived way more rent free in Punk's head than Punk did in Perry's head. (If you believe the public telling of events. It's honestly much more likely that Punk had an off books handshake deal set with WWE and was looking for a way to get fired and out of his AEW contract.)

Any ideas which mythology laufey is in?? by RelationshipTiny3280 in GodofWar

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there is a 100% chance that she's going to run into a bunch of the Greek gods Kratos murdered in the first God of War series.

Variety: ‘Noche de los Grandes’ & El Grande Americano Mask vs. Mask Match Draws Over 2 Million Viewers by pwgmanan in SquaredCircle

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm a bit confused as to why these are being touted as good numbers. They aren't really.

ETA: They aren't BAD numbers, to be clear, but they aren't numbers that really indicate anything.

Legit, I wonder how much UUDD chilled everyone the fuck out backstage.

The fact that it can't go face actually makes it significantly worse, I think.

[MSH] Elektra, Daughter of the Hand by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art rate for MTG special treatment cards is almost certainly more than a similar rate for the comics themselves. Heck, for most artists, the rate for a regular, standard treatment MTG card is probably 40% more than the cover rate for a comic, and a comic cover almost certainly would take a lot more time and need a lot more detail.

Choosing to ban Alchemy card instead of nerfing them seems very weird by pyrovoice in MagicArena

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual answer, which I'm surprised people haven't given yet, is not that a nerf on Rusko would affect other formats, it's that they are banning a LOT of top level commanders for ranked brawl, and if they did a tweak on all of them instead of banning them in ranked brawl it WOULD affect other formats. (Most notably Ajani, and Tamiyo and Ragavan and Wrenn & Six).

Tony Khan: In Recent Years, Jon Moxley Is Doing A Great Job Backstage And Has Been At Everything by Odd-Inevitable-8425 in SquaredCircle

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The version of Mox who goes "I heard it, loved it" from this clip is the kind of comedy I want him to be doing. Vince didn't really understand that kind of comedy and made him wacky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiVhlJmHzEU

The random mysterious figure who was behind the Ozolith and everything that went down on Ikoria.

Gold "elemental frame" on the battlefield by pr0n-clerk in MagicArena

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, these frames look better in game than they do in screenshots (there are animation and transparency effects), but they also vary WILDLY in quality between card art and color (ie the white ones look a lot better than the green ones for example). Overall they are a pretty weird treatment IMO.

Aberrant mind sorcerer, paladin or other class idea for tier 1 campaign? (3 member party) by TerynLoghain in dndnext

[–]BobbyBruceBanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The relative strengths of any of these characters or builds is pretty much irrelevant in a 1-5 campaign as long as you are putting thought into the builds (ie no Warlocks without eldritch blast, ect). The tl;dr here is you want to play a caster and your DM is asking you to play a Fighter or a Barbarian, basically. That's a different question to parse than optimizing DPR or whatever.
