I'm curious #wrestlesky do you consider Revolution to hold the same basic role in the PPV calendar for AEW as the Rumble occupies in WWE? Or do you think beyond having "The Biggest Show of the Year" in All In, that there isn't a similar curve to AEW shows?

Yeah that's fair, wasn't sure of the angle but that makes sense

People have takes about it? I'm finishing up the interview now and he's seemed pretty amicable about everything

Do you have a fave TTRPG that involves food or cooking? I'm looking for some interesting ones for an article.

Would Last Tea Shop qualify?

Legit was about to QRT with a fact checker bit like "Be advised: Reporter is a known Nico Robin enjoyer"

Dream blunt rotation but its John Morrison, Thekla, and Lee Moriarty talking about art

Oh that's very cool, always good to hear stories like that

He talks about being a film major, makes allusions to call sheets, describes method acting beat for beat when talking about how he prepared to perform as ECW champion, I knew I liked him for a reason

I never knew how into the acting side of things Morrison was, his perspective on things is very interesting

Oh I agree with you there, certainly, especially since these seem to be less "news" focused as their other reporting around AEW (PPV Results, etc.)

Ah, with that added context to me it feels like they sent the more conservative talent to do media with the conservative outlet, but I could be surprised

I don't know why but Shaved Johnny Consejo is giving Simon Miller vibes

Feels less "AEW and Fox?" and more "Jeff Jarrett knows a guy at Fox News"

Oh hey I actually saw your Dragon Gate video, it was sick. I assumed this was a response to some sort of uptick in social numbers they saw internally resulting from the press surrounding the crowd chants

Listen Fiorentina really thinks getting Celebrity Skin playing in the stadium will keep them out of Relegation

I remember what he did in CMLL, I know he's got it in him

Tried to listen to a new podcast and it opened with a bespoke Anthropic ad, so that's a dead end.

As someone with no prior knowledge of the general vibes of GDC I have to imagine the inclusion of GenAI slop merchants sours it somewhat

Slay The Spire 2 Silent Card "Echoing Slash" Cost: 1 Attack Deal 10 damage to ALL enemies. Repeat this effect for each enemy killed.

Hearthstone Warlock Card "Defile" 2 Cost Deal 1 damage to all minions. If any die, cast this again.

Don't people say winking for buttholes?

In the card game Blackjack the objective is to reach a score (essentially) of 21, so it having 21 entrants makes it a Blackjack variant as opposed to the original concept which I believe had wrestlers drawing from a deck of cards to determine their entrance order by suit (spades, diamonds, etc.)

Second time I've seen that idiom today it's really catching on

Of all my hours of Tarkov 50% is menus 49.9% is me being a scared baby but that last 0.1% is the most alive I have ever felt

Gamers harassing the Crimson Desert team over console footage is ludicrous

"Its so close to launch and we don't have a framerate 😢"

THEN WAIT UNTIL LAUNCH AND SEE HOW IT REVIEWS ON CONSOLE YOU DO NO NEED TO PRE-PURCHASE THINGS SIGHT UNSEEN AND GET MAD YOU CAN JUST FUCKING WAIT YOU IGNORANT CLOWN

Oh my god I'm cooked I thought the placeholder art in Slay the Spire 2 was like a design choice I'm out here thinking "Hmm what does it mean about this character that the art unlocked by them is in this style? 🤓"

A problem I often have with pro wrestling journalism that catches my eye. Everything is binary:

Heel OR Face
Hot OR Cold
Buried OR Pushed to the Moon
Dead Crowd OR "The crowd were really into this"

Not to sound TOO pretentious but the medium has evolved beyond paint-by-numbers critique
