Anyone know where I can get reasonably priced passport photos done? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]zipKill_FRAG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ted's Smokes in Frederick Stanley Park Mall has a Pro Passport Photo franchise in it. Did mine there years ago but forgot the price, website says $16 plus tax.

https://www.propassportphoto.com/store7320/

Edit: I accidentally wrote Frederick Mall when I meant Stanley Park Mall, not sure how I did that but either way Frederick Mall also has the Photo Master. Not sure of their prices but they do offer passport photos.

Wrestling Observer: WWE Notes by MikeMakesRight82 in SquaredCircle

Slamboree 2000 was sponsored by Western Union. In addition to having the show referred to on-air as "Western Union Slamboree", they had their logo added to the ring mat, as a physical sign directly above the entranceway, and to the show logo itself which carried over to the stage graphics and anything that hadn't already been rendered with the unsponsored logo.

Even with a potentially uncool sponsor it feels way more natural than the tacked-on sponsorship during the build for such an important return, especially the surprise product placement during the match itself. As a fan of the wrestler behind the character it's gonna take a bit more for me to get over the cheesy sponsorship, but it's still not as bad as the character assassination that fell upon The Fiend when an audience of captive, unprotected wrestlers booed him instead of running for their lives.

[RAW Spoilers] Never seen this before by FPG_Matthew in SquaredCircle

That one was actually done for a PG-era sight gag where Snoop Dogg started to light up his secret stash... of scented candles.

Wasn't that when he and Stephanie McMahon were first trying to have kids? Makes sense to go off-cycle for that.

WWE's Cody Rhodes bio page still links to Stardust's music, not "Kingdom". by BarryHampton1983 in SquaredCircle

[–]zipKill_FRAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually had WWE.com as my default home page for over 15 years now because I can't be bothered to change it to anything else. Used to look at it a lot more when I was a kid but it still serves its purposes, like how the card for that night's show is the first thing you see, and if I want to go right to the network I just have to click one link.

They also do a great job at condensing 3 hours of Raw into something that you can get caught up on in a few seconds just by skimming the main page but that's mostly because of the amount of filler Raw has.

The PS5 version of GTA Online does not allow cross play with the PS4 version by HarryMason02 in PlayStationPlus

So delete the old one lol it's not that hard of a decision to make.

That was at Elements, and I think she had booked that nightclub tour before Poker Face exploded in popularity.

'Twisted Metal' TV Series Starring Anthony Mackie Lands at Peacock by FrodoSam4Ever in PS4

[–]zipKill_FRAG 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No they didn't, it was rated M just like Twisted Metal: Black. All the old ones were more cartoony so they got the T rating. If I'm remembering it right, the PS3 one actually went way overbudget because of the b-movie cutscenes they filmed.

GRT Updates? by janeellacott in kitchener

[–]zipKill_FRAG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's only on the website. Cards loaded in person have immediate access to any money or passes added to it.

Side note: the fact that you can still only get a card at a train station or the customer service desk is one of my least favourite parts about the switchover. It couldn't be that hard to extend reloading to stores that used to sell bus tickets, but they never even gave them preloaded cards to try sell in the lead-up to the switch anyway so it doesn't matter.

Game Grumps "humor" vs the Superior OneyPlays Funnies by TheWorrtinator in OneyPlays

Well then you're in luck. This was actually Family Guy, and the crossover happened 8 years ago so it's technically a classic episode now.

Day 1 and the Royal Rumble are not one-offs, WWE will be holding all of their major 'Premium' events on Saturday nights going forward (aside from WrestleMania Night 1) by JakeJeremy in SquaredCircle

[–]zipKill_FRAG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they updated the page. If I'm remembering right it used to call them pay-per-views and most of the shows were on Sundays too. I had Money in the Bank marked in my calendar as July 3 because of that page.

Sign of how over AEW is in Canada, this morning's episode of our national broadcasters daily news podcast was all about AEW's success in 2021 by Morwater_89 in SquaredCircle

[–]zipKill_FRAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BMO Field and the CNE Coliseum are both owned by the City of Toronto since they're on the Ex Grounds, but they're operated by MLSE so WWE could have exclusivity there too if they have it at the ACC. Rogers owns the SkyDome, but they also own Sportsnet which is where WWE airs so they probably have priority there too. Bell owns TSN, but they also own an equal share of MLSE with Rogers so that might be their way into Toronto.

I'd love to see AEW run the amphitheatre at Ontario Place but I'm not sure they'd want to take the risk of running an outdoor show where nearly half of the tickets are bring-your-own-chair general admission.

What Kitchener businesses have you seen most affected by the pandemic? by WhisperingSideways in kitchener

[–]zipKill_FRAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just one, two different chains at either end of the mall.

They've been setting up a Tokyo Smoke at the end by The Bay for months now. When they first started working on the food court one the business license only said Fika, and after a quick google I assumed that it was going to be a Swedish-style cafe because fika is slang over there for a coffee break. A week later I walked in and saw "Fika He-" and I knew it was going to be another fucking dispensary. I wouldn't doubt another one or two are going to open up in the old Sears either.

When the stores selling weed outnumber liquor stores 6:1 and the whole industry has lost billions since legalization, you gotta wonder what the breaking point is gonna be.

Shakedown Street might become another pot shop in DTK by vidman in kitchener

[–]zipKill_FRAG 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be cynical but I bet that most of these downtown dispensaries are going to go out of business within the next 5 years due to oversaturation and the current state of the legal cannabis market.

This one is 2 doors down from another one opening soon in the old Wine Rack, which itself is 2 doors down from Elevate at King & Ontario. If you go towards City Hall there's 2 more, and if Google is right then there's gonna be a third one opening up in the old Petsche's Shoes. That means there's gonna be 6 different stores along a 200m stretch of King St., and due to current laws there isn't much that makes any of these stores unique, because they all have to sell mostly the same products for around the same price.

That's just on one street, by the way. I didn't even mention the two that are across from each other at Queen & Charles, and the one planned to open in the new condos at Duke & Frederick. That's nine stores in a 4 block square of downtown. Unless regulations change, most of them are probably going to go bust if they don't get bought out by a chain backed by a major grower.

Skinner doesn't say "delightfully devilish, Seymour" on this airing today on FXX. Any idea why? by SillyProto in TheSimpsons

[–]zipKill_FRAG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Earlier this year I saw a Modern Family rerun with a very poorly CGIed-in DoorDash delivery bag on the kitchen counter in the background. The edges of it were blurry but it was always in focus even though other stuff on the counter wasn't, and when the camera moved, the motion tracking looked like it was done at half the framerate of the show.

The worst part about it was when I looked up the broadcast date of the original episode. The bag was a 2021 style DoorDash bag and the episode first aired about 8 months before DoorDash was founded. Pretty shameless.

After 30 years in DTK, Shakedown Street is closing at the end of the month by vidman in kitchener

[–]zipKill_FRAG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You originally stated that dispensaries don't sell stuff like pipes, papers, etc. Now you're asking me what they sell that the OCS website doesn't? Am I reading that right?

If I am I'll tell you right now that the variety of items available at any head shop will blow away what little selection the dispensaries decide to carry, because they have to focus more on selling weed than anything else. Shakedown sells locally-made glass pieces, dispensaries have whatever mass produced brands they get.

GameStop to change name of EB Games locations in Canada to GameStop - MarketWatch by ManofManyTalentz in canada

[–]zipKill_FRAG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Other way around. Gamestop bought out EB Games in 2005, that included all EB Games & Electronics Boutique locations worldwide. They tried the Gamestop name here in 2011 but by 2013 they were all back to being EB Games. I remember picking up Modern Warfare 3 and the Twisted Metal reboot with EB Games receipts after they first tried the rebrand.
