I ramble about things.

The Irate One HATES Beyond The Grid!

Anyone remember Chris Bores?

You know, he of the Irate Neo Breakfast Is Ruined fame?
Well, some time ago, he posted the following thoughts on Facehole:
“Is anyone else out there reading the Boom Comics Power Rangers Comic? For God sake, who the hell green lit this “Beyond the Grid” storyline. It is a complete trainwreck. This was one of the comics I looked forward to reading every month. Now I have to wait 10 months for this damn thing to end. 10 months! Talk about a huge gamble gone wrong. It’s no wonder they press released the next story they are doing months before they normally would so they don’t completely lose their fanbase. Gah!! Makes me want to do an Irate Comic Book Show.”
You know… I’m not a fan of the current Beyond The Grid thing going on; there are some issues with the series that stifle my enjoyment, but I don’t think it was a complete trainwreck so much as it’s just not all that interesting… at least, not enough to endure the length it’s been given. Honestly, five issues was more than adequate before going back to the main team of which the book is named after and then if there was any real interest, you could turn that into its own book.
Now, Bores, on the other hand… look, I’ve no ill will towards the guy. I mock him at times, but only in good humor. But I read this reaction from him in regards to this one story and I’m like… Chris, why don’t you have a seat over there?
“Fine.”
Good boy, Chris. Now, what’s wrong?
“It’s this Boom Boom Power Grid thing. It’s a bunch of diarrhea dickwaffles!”
I see, I see… what were you planning tonight?
“What are you talking about?”
Well, you said you wanted to do an Irate Comic Book Show because of this one story.
“Well, it’s just an idea and I’m sure my fans will love it.”
So how do you explain these text messages?
“What text messages?”
You know, the ones you sent to Cousin Steve saying you’l [blank] [blank] his [blank] [blank]. [blank] [blank] [blank] [blank] [blank] [blank] [blank], you [blank] [blank] [blank].
“Wait a minute! I never send that! That was Evil Gamer!”
Okay, Chris. Go ahead and head out that door.
“Fine! I’m outta here, I gotta go shoot some more Puppet Ste… er, I mean, spend the next five years filming the next edition of Chris Neo and… wait, what the fuck are all these cops doing?! Hey, get your hands off me! I didn’t do anything! DON’T TASE ME, BRO MAN!”

Mega Man Maker Test Level – Wily Star Remix II

So this is what I wanted to try out. Take one of my older levels and fill those empty rooms with bosses. This isn’t uploaded onto the server; it’s just an experiment I’ve been fiddling around with.

Actually, I might do a little run of these “updated” levels somewhere down the line. We’ll see.

Smackdown (March 26th, 2019) – Five Points Of Stuff

So, in celebration of Kurt Angle’s farewell tour that sees him have matches with guys that he faced in TNA, I decided to DVR last night’s Smackdown and gave it a watch. Unlike RAW, this was a much easier viewing experience at a mere TWO hours. However, I’ve little to say on this show beyond the four points that I’ll bring up after the break.

The End Of Google Plus

On March 31st, Google Plus comes to an end and with it, all your goodies. Therefore, if there’s any stuff you want to keep around, you might as well start downloading your archive of Google Plus stuff. This includes your +1s, your Youtube search history, your Google Photo things, and whatever else comes to mind that might seem important.

I made a point to download my archive of stuff and this means getting all the photos that I have uploaded up to this point. I’ve also switched the “user” account on this blog back to the old dtm666 account, which bares a silly face of NWA World’s champion Nick Aldis as a placeholder of sorts. Truth is that I’m not sure how affected everything will be by the Google Plus purge, but I guess we’ll find out next week.

RAW (March 25th, 2019) – Joe Got His Headbutt Back

So in light of Kurt Angle taking on Samoa Joe for the final time, I decided to fire up the DVR and recording this week’s episode of RAW, so that I can sample that match. I didn’t watch the whole episode of course (perish the thought), but as per usual, I will offer five points of interest that came to mind when watching some (but not all) of this episode.
