Sleep And Cold Are Enemies Of The Empire… Or Something

Right, so there’s supposed to be a Crocodile Dundee: 40 Years Later post here today. That’s being pushed back to Thursday for a one-off thing before the rest of the series (all two of them) are slotted for the next couple Tuesdays. What’s stalling this one was the obvious Mother’s Day festivities, which involved fried chicken and cake… her preferred foods.

And then I went for a walk because I felt a bit bloated… and then I laid in bed for the rest of the day and by the time I woke up, it was one in the morning. I slept through the whole evening… which I hadn’t planned on doing.

I feel like it’s been like this for a few weeks now. I’d go on with my day, I’d have a dinner or so, I’d pass out, and then all of a sudden, hours will have passed. There used to be a time when I’d only take hour long naps and that’d be enough to get me by. Feels like my body is playing catch-up for all those insomnia filled late nights in my earlier years.

I suppose I should be happy that I’m getting more rest… I’d be much happier if I could choose when to get that more rest.

Also, while we’re at it, I wish these winds would die down and the heat would come in sooner. I’ll probably regret that when the summer season hits, but I tried to take a walk and the wind was ridiculous. Not so much the breeze, but the coolness. It irritates me.

Anyway, that’s it for me. Old video outtake from last decade is coming up later today for the blog visitors.

I Asked ChatGPT to Book Asuka’s Last Match… Against GUNTHER

WWE can have this one for free, by the way. It’s AI-generated, which they love – and it involves GUNTHER continuing his gimmick of having people’s last matches and then “retiring” them. And then if people shit on this thing, you can have McSon-In-Law tell them to fuck off and be fans… or have Nick Khan call them the vocal minority… or maybe drive up more subscriptions to hear Uncle Dave stammer about how this is the worst affront to a Japanese wrestler since Okada stubbed his toe or something.

I don’t know. I didn’t make this up – I just asked a question and some gimmick gave me an answer that thoroughly entertained me… which means the people who actually get PAID to throw this creative together are doing a worse off job than a common AI program that anyone can access. I’m not advocating for AI to completely book wrestling shows anytime soon, but at this point, it’s difficult to argue with results.

Anyway, I give you Asuka vs. GUNTHER in Asuka’s Last Match by ChatGPT. Enjoy and be afraid.

You’re Jobbing Asuka To GUNTHER, Aren’t You?

I can see it now.

Goldberg Complains About “Some Japanese Girl” Getting Better Send Off Than He Did.

Also, that big announcement John Cena teased is for another competition that nobody is going to care, but are going to pretend they do because the algorithm requires engagement… and Dauhausen’s mystery partner turned out to be a Minihausen.

I thought I told you clowns not to do mystery gimmicks anymore. They’re always disappointing and you suck at them.

This is where I remind people that I don’t have a Netflix subscription and have no such inclination to get one any time soon.

But, hey, that Ronda/Gina thing is next week, isn’t it? Maybe that’ll be a big hit or something… right?

Moving right along…

But What About The Muppet?

(Update: Helps if you embed the correct video, dumbass.)

A little late to the party, but they released the trailer for the upcoming fourth and penultimate season of Strange New Worlds, which is due to begin July 28th. It has dinosaurs, it has spatial anomalies, it has Spirk, it has other stuff… less of a focus on the so-called “big swings” that the past couple seasons liked to toss around.

Strangely missing from the trailer is the muppet. I’d imagine most people were thrilled by that omission and expect the “dumbass Muppet episode” to never be a thing. Well, I’m here to tell you that not only is that Muppet episode a thing, it will be such a thing that it’ll go “double dumbass on you” all the way to the bank… or something.

Yeah, sure. It looks fine. Showing all the right things, it looks to be doing. Whether the season holds mustard is another story. I guess we’ll see come July.

Can We Fire Logan Paul?

Local hero Joe Hendry asking the hard questions… and if not, then why not?

Seriously, though, good for Joe. Glad to see WWE lean into his musical talents and letting him do these music videos. That’s what got him into the dance. Lean into it. Use it. It’s a rare gift. In a time of uncertainty, we could all use a little levity.

Wishing that man all the success in the world.

I still believe…

Oh, and Danhausen trolling Miz is fun, too…

Good for him, I guess…

Someone Else Is Writing Those Symphonies

Source: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/05/im-sorry-legendary-castlevania-composer-confirms-shes-not-working-on-belmonts-curse-or-bloodstained-the-scarlet-engagement

Veteran Castlevania composer Michiru Yamane had confirmed in a recent post that she would not be providing music to either the upcoming Belmont’s Curse game or the upcoming Bloodstained game in a recent video update. This will no doubt be a disappointment to those who were hoping to see her make her return to the former or continue her contributions in the latter.

Her not doing music in Belmont’s Curse isn’t much of a surprise. I’m sure the Dead Cells people have their own composers that they could use and while I think that’d be a cool thing to have her come back and bust a couple tunes, it’s not a total deal breaker, either. However, the fact that she’s not doing Bloodstained is a bit of a surprise. Not sure if it’s scheduling issues or Iga wanting to go in a different direction, but considering she had been an instrumental part of that Igavania equation since it ran roughshod these past two decades, it’ll be interesting to see who fills the void and if they can live up to the legacy she established in either brand.

In any event, I wish Yamane-san all the best in all her future endeavors and I look forward to seeing who steps up to the place in either game.

Marble Mouth Davies Wants Surprises In Doctor Boo!

“Wouldn’t it be great if we got to this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special and nothing had been spoiled and everything was new? Why do we do it any other way?” says current Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. “Marble Mouth” Davies in explaining why there are no news regarding the upcoming special or anything afterwards. He says this presuming that people want to be surprised by what’s going to happen, but people are just wondering what the fuck is going on with their favorite sci-fi show of the past 60 years.

Honestly, the question I’d be asking your audience is “Wouldn’t it be great if we got to this year’s Christmas Special and it didn’t suck. Why would we do it any other way?”

But yes, Russell. Keep telling yourself that we want surprises and not good quality Doctor Who stories like you used to be able to conjure up.
