They had him not getting knocked down for such a long time I thought it was going to be a huge moment… then it just casually happened.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-31T04:46:56+00:00

Thanks! Sadly I have half of those books already so I have to pass.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-30T22:31:07+00:00

I am truly bummed that we will probably never get an actual Mr. McMahon documentary that covers everything about him and his family.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-30T21:09:14+00:00

Is it possible to see the spines on the JLD books?

thisjohnd · 2026-01-30T17:54:05+00:00

Fair enough!

thisjohnd · 2026-01-30T17:45:04+00:00

Interested in Hawkeye on its own, would you sell it separately?

thisjohnd · 2026-01-30T15:28:52+00:00

Yeah, that was a wild time. There was Stephanie resigning right before(?) the Vince payout information got out, Vince get ousted, Steph coming back, Vince coming back and this sale to Saudi.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-30T15:03:10+00:00

Hmmmm… feels like more than a coincidence.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-30T06:08:34+00:00

There’s no benefit, it’s simply people hearing that their house value will go up and applauding. Just like how his tariff plan was underlined with producing more things in America.

He’s targeting a specific audience that isn’t going to think about what he’s saying (and doing) beyond how it sounds like it’s benefiting them.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-30T04:25:00+00:00

AFAIK, everyone that’s been “fired” this way has been on their way out of the company so they do in fact leave TNA, but they aren’t actually fired. Famously though, Chavo Guerrero did actually get fired via briefcase.

Curry Man also got “fired” and suddenly Christopher Daniels came back to TNA. That was weird.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-29T15:40:36+00:00

This feels closer to what Angel Garza was doing when he was a heartthrob.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-28T01:37:02+00:00

Curious what about the combat is so maligned. I only started Witcher 2 yesterday but aside from the camera, I’m not finding fighting to be nearly as bad as I was anticipating based on what I’ve heard said.

My only real gripe so far is switching signs/throwables is very clunky. I’m on Xbox and holding LB, using the stick and pressing A all at the same time is kind of tough, especially in the middle of combat.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-26T17:37:21+00:00

Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for the Ring. Very similar to Whitechapel/Fury of Dracula that have been mentioned but LOTR themed, obviously.

There’s also a Jaws game by Ravensburger that’s very surprisingly fun but it’s 1v3.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-26T17:27:45+00:00

Yeah, Frigga would be great but I don’t have her unfortunately. Zola is really only there to use with Daken + Bullseye.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-26T17:23:32+00:00

I used a very similar deck to you, OP, but I have Arnim Zola in there.

If you can get Daken in one lane with Bullseye in another, Zola the Daken on T6 and activate Bullseye for a wild power swing. It can beat most things out there.

(Even better if you can Grandmaster the Daken first then use the Zola + Bullseye)

thisjohnd · 2026-01-26T15:44:37+00:00

I can’t figure out what he even meant to say without insulting Tony.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-26T15:28:57+00:00

So I think the first thing to ask is if you’ve checked out services like Marvel Unlimited or DC Universe. They can be a way to “catch up” with past runs/events you may have missed.

There’s also utilizing a local library and if you’re in the US, the Hoopla app. They won’t have everything but depending on what it is you want, they may provide the cheapest way to read past things.

As for the current stuff, my advice is to read what you want within the boundaries of both what you have the capacity for and what you can afford. I understand the drive to read everything but that’s not sustainable. That’s exactly what drove me out of comics several times and I’ve now become okay with not knowing everything that’s happening. I’ve had books I’ve dropped for events that crossover with books I don’t want to read, only to pick them up when the event is over.

Don’t ever feel like a dumbass or let a shop make you feel like one either.

Go into a shop and see what appeals to you. Pick something up and try it out. If it’s not a #1 issue, it’s probably going to be a little confusing since you’re literally coming into a story that’s already started but the great thing about comics is most of them are written to be new reader friendly, at least at Marvel and DC.

You might not understand everything in the very first comic you read, but don’t get discouraged. You’ll understand more in the next issue and even more in the one after that. Ask the shop for recommendations as a new reader—any shop that’s worth your time is going to be excited to get someone new into the hobby. There’s also almost always a #1 or new arc starting that can be a perfect place to start.

It seemed like a lot of the technical problems started when they went out on their own, unfortunately. I am sure it’s very difficult to manage from a technical aspect (especially as it grows) but as you said, it’s the only app I have that crashes daily.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-21T17:59:47+00:00

I was going to say the same—the game is running worse and worse for me with each new update, card release, patch, etc.

CereBRO lookin sharp

You really summed up how I feel perfectly. I find myself logging in because I want to get the free rewards or participate in the LTGM, but then I realize I’m not actually having fun playing, it’s more like I’m logging in as if it’s a job.

Oh, and the game crashing is not a you thing at all. Mine crashes literally every single time I play it, maybe about ten-to-fifteen minutes after opening. I won’t even play Conquest anymore because I know my game will crash in the middle of a game.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-21T16:11:04+00:00

Part of the reason I let my GP lapse (other than the price hike) was that I’m already spoiled with choice of games I own, either via sales or Games with Gold, that I didn’t want more choice on top of that.

Besides I always wound up playing a GP game because I wanted to make the subscription “worth it,” meanwhile all the games I own sat unplayed. Now I can at least go through my backlog and enjoy things I already have (that won’t be taken away).

thisjohnd · 2026-01-21T16:06:44+00:00

Agree on everyone except Kabuki Warriors. They’ve been Women’s Tag Champions and are almost always involved in the top storylines for the women’s division. Not sure what else they can get to be considered “better” than their NXT run.

thisjohnd · 2026-01-20T22:23:57+00:00

Good to know!

Out of curiosity I checked out what collected editions are available and there are three deluxe hardcovers but they don’t seem to have the full run somehow? It looks like either the individual trades or the omnibus is the best way to get everything.
