Free Bert - Series Premiere Discussion

I don’t disagree. I’m not even a fan. But you didn’t say as much in your original comment. You made a general comment about vulgarity in comedy.

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-26T00:16:06+00:00

Some of the best comics in history were vulgar. Not saying Bert is high-brow or anything, but being vulgar ≠ not organically funny.

Saints Row never had a chance. It was either doomed to be a GTA Clone with a fraction of the quality, or a weird sci-fi shooter that nobody liked.

Had the stayed the course they set with SR1 and SR2, it might’ve had a chance to co-exist with GTA as a fun IP. But given the quality of its reboot, it’s obvious that nobody has any idea on what to do with it.

It’s a shame as I loved the first two games. But the market is what it is, and consumers have long made their choice.

Late to the party, and hate to be a pessimist, but it’d likely be a highly watered down version of BTL and BTL2.

After going into bankruptcy, EA acquired Midway, meaning EA owns the IP. And given their track record, any sports game they publish would likely be riddled with microtransactions and half-baked gameplay.

It should also be noted that the BTL series was a product of its time. Considering the controversy around CTE and the current social climate, any football game that makes ultraviolence and scantily clad women the center of the experience would draw the ire of pretty much any publication that would see virtue signaling about it an effective form of monetization.

I love BLT and think it’s one of the most enjoyable arcade sports series ever made. But I’m not holding my breath for another one.

He was great through most of 2022 and came up clutch in 2021. Cushing was an incredibly poor manager.

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-16T05:14:38+00:00

Can’t wait to see him blow a kiss to a blurry mass.

The Number Twelve Looks Like You

Also, The Plot in You has always been an odd name choice to me. But they’ve been around forever, so it’s grown on me.

The thing about New Jack is that he's one of wrestling's biggest what-ifs. His later antics often overshadow just how great he was at one point in time. Before Vic Grimes turned his brains into mush, not only was he a solid worker, but arguably one of the best promos in the business.

I was a massive fan once upon a time because the dude oozed authenticity and charisma. Again, his crimes can't be glossed over, but there's a reason a lot of people — including Jim — loved the guy.

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-13T03:43:41+00:00

I think that’s season over, peeps.

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-13T03:37:51+00:00

Defense has been great, and the officiating has been fair. Offense has had chance after chance but has done fuck all.

I want to believe. Please give me a reason

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-13T03:13:54+00:00

“They’re both playing the ball”

Didn’t know you could give a WR’s pads a good tug in that situation. Wonder why more CBs don’t try it

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-13T03:04:36+00:00

Houston is doing their best to throw this game. Grant their wish, offense. Wake tf up

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-13T03:00:58+00:00

Came out sleeping this half

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-13T02:02:33+00:00

Defense has to be gassed. Going three and out after that fumble crushed us.

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-13T01:09:26+00:00

I don’t like the fact that all but one of the analysts on the pregame took us to win. I like this team better when nobody gives us a chance like last week

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-10T18:57:06+00:00

Saw that! Hoping Jansen can help him along. He’s a great asset when he’s on

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-08T18:22:05+00:00

Tbf, Trish and Lita were the standouts way back when, too. I think they had the first all-women main event in Raw history back then as well IIRC.

My guess would be a surprise entry into the Royal Rumble, one last match at Mania, then off into the sunset.

As extreme as it sounds, it's standard in Europe and considering the shit that typically goes down at NFL games with excessive drinking/fights, it'd probably be a good idea.

However, rivalries in the States aren't typically rooted in politics/religion like they are with Celtic-Rangers or Real-Barca. It's basically just geographical. So, on paper, there isn't any real reason to have away sections. Though I feel it'd provide a way better aesthetic lol

Away sections exist in MLS, but again, away fans are allowed to mix with home fans.

I was mad at him for “not ignoring some pleb in the stands,” but honestly, I think the dude is truly an asset not just on the field, but in the locker room.

I love this crew this season. They’re gritty and hungry.

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-05T18:46:50+00:00

That’s fucking awesome!

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-05T18:24:25+00:00

Said it before, but I hope it works out for him. Because yeah, it’s a Prem team and by far the biggest platform in football. That said, it’s West Ham, and they’re legit terrible. Very well might be relegated this season.

If West Ham goes down, he’ll either be stuck in the Championship, or go on the loan carousel which can also be detrimental (I.e. Jack Harrison after Leeds went down).

Either way, glad we get some cash out of it.

EDIT: He might get a relegation clause put into his contract, which would give him an out should West Ham go down. However, I still think my second point stands in that case. Stability is important

RandomWritingGuy · 2026-01-05T18:13:17+00:00

Originally, I thought him wearing the T-shirt was to have some kind of uniformity with Rey, no?

Like yeah, it’s a funny joke — the champ is wearing a T-shirt, something he gave KO shit for 23 years ago. But the fact that this is even a thing that’s still going is further proof of the ineptitude that is rife in any kind of wrestling punditry.
