Teasing The Rise Of Hamill

In case anyone remotely cares… it’s the teaser trailer for the next and final chapter in the much-maligned sequel trilogy of thrown-together feature films with no cohesive thought behind it whatsoever.

I won’t say much here – I’ll save my thoughts for tomorrow’s DTM-Cast episode. The only thing I will say that after the time wasted on The Last Jedi and the less than enthusiastic impressions of Solo, my reaction is simply… meh. For what it’s worth, there’s a good chance I’ll probably watch it with my older bro, but in terms of excitement, optimism, or anything resembling an emotional response or the slightest hint of interest… meh.

Oh well… let it play out and see where it goes, I suppose.

JDF and CM Punk To Finally Fight

And so it came to this, didn’t it?

After all this time, the fisticuffs will fly and two “iconic” legends will be in the ring for the first time after a long time of… mostly one-sided talks.

Jay Dee Eff… public nuisance and self-proclaimed Greatest Ranger of All Time.

Cee Em Punk… wannabe UFC fighter, former pro wrestler, and global asshole.

Finally, these two will be going at it and we have the details here…

Actually… no, we don’t.

Because nobody actually gives a shit beyond JDF and his mindless fanbase.

April Fools, everyone. Business as usual for the rest of the week.

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!”

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.

Fun With X-Wing (Collector’s CD-ROM ’95) – Pilot Proving Fail

Something a little bit different; a late-night excursion in my X-Wing on the Rebel’s secret Pilot Proving Ground. Do I succeed? Well, no, but I did get a promotion. That counts for something, right?

I’m trying to experiment with different formats to see what works best for me as well as anyone else concerned.

About Kurt’s Announcement

G. Raffe Added To Protect The Geek… no?

Yeah, so Kurt Angle’s final opponent at Mania is going to be GEEK CORBIN.

The guy who people were sick and tired of to the point of TUNING OUT OF YOUR FUCKING TELEVISION SHOW is getting a high-profile Wrestlemania main match and might even be the one who ends up winning that match.

You know… I’ve never skipped a Wrestlemania in twenty years. This may very well be the first time.

As the man in the black hat would say, underwhelming.

Playstation Old Stuff Was On Sale For $39.99

Well, add another ten for the Canadian price, but for those who have been hesitant in picking one up, it’s a bit cheaper now.

I’m still holding out for an even cheaper price. Perhaps even second hand.
