ATGames Blasts Now Ten Bucks A Pop… SWEET DEAL!

So yeah, a trip to the local Great Tiger general goods store yielded these incredible finds of products that are not only not sold at Wal-Marts, but cost far cheaper than the two models at those stores.

Naturally, I did not purchase them… because my experience with the last BLAST unit has been soured and even ten dollars a pop is not enough to justify the second chance… especially if the games are just going to be substandard emulations of home ports.

And in case anyone was wondering, I still have the other unit. It’s buried in boxes somewhere, but it’s still there.

AEW Fight For The Fallen 2019

Two weeks after the gamer-centric Fyter Fest, All Elite Wrestling presents their third event called Fight For The Fallen, a charity wrestling show where all a large portion of profits go to victims of gun violence, which is a worthy cause.

So there’s a promo on Smackdown that was cut by Kevin Owens at the beginning of the program… something about talent being underused, too many McMahons on the Tee Vee, wanting change or that sort of thing… boy, does that sound familiar?
