Back in business – allegedly – as I talk about the first shot, AEW going touring, quick thoughts on the Venom trailer, and thoughts on the Superman thing that somehow morphed into a discussion about a movie I refuse to see.
*Since this episode was recorded a couple days ago, news broke that WWE was looking to resume live tours in July.
Disclaimer: Shaq does not appear on this edition of AEW Dynamite. Shaq’s face does match my own reaction after watching this episode.
Well, it’s the week after le Blued And Goots show… and it’s time for another episode of Dynamite; perhaps one of the more baffling episodes of Dynamite yet.

Got my first shot tonight.
All’s well, so far.
We’re past the first hurdle.
Second one before I turn 40.
Yeah, that’s all I got.
You know… I pulled out my old tablet that came with a keyboard for the first time in a long while. And I’ve been typing shit during my breaks and I have this rather lengthy update post typed out when suddenly, things go whack and I lose my stuff.
Moral of the story; save often and don’t rely on wireless connections with spotty connecting histories such as this thing I’m using.
Other than that, however, it’s been smooth sailing thus far. Managed a couple reserve bits and bobs for the future and I’ve been teasing a new approach that I want to apply towards the web content. I’d share it here, but I’m afraid things might go the way o the crapper. So, I will advise anyone wondering about the future of this blog to check in Sunday and listen to the next episode of the DTM-Cast where I will begin the episode by addressing the state of the blog.
In the meantime, there might be a review up this week. There might be a PPV musings of some kind coming… that’s all I can muster up for now.
Later.

| This dog is more entertaining than SNL. |
So a couple folks I used to associate with before everything went to shit had asked (via e-mail) if I had seen the SNL skit with rich dude Elon Musk. I told them that I hadn’t watched a single bit of SNL since Will Ferrell stopped doing those Celebrity Jeopardy skits ages ago… for those wanting a timeline, that was a long ass time ago.
So I ask them what the fuck they’re talking about and they sent me this link to a Youtube video (which I am not providing here; chances are you’ve already saw it and if you haven’t, then consider yourself extremely fortunate) that features Elon Musk dressed in a Wario costume in court. My first response would be to ask if Nintendo sent a cease-and-desist to NBC for this blatant infringement on their intellectual property.
So I watched the clip in question… I kinda wish I hadn’t.
I don’t regularly watch late-night comedy shows; usually I make a point of it whenever someone is making an appearance there. And even on that point, it’s a genuine struggle to stay through the whole show and watch a series of really bad skits that aren’t funny. And this was twenty years ago.
I watch a clip like this and I find myself wondering how things have gotten so bad that this comedy bits make the worst Irate Gamer comedy seem like Carlin in comparison. I’ve seen old Nostalgia Critic skits from a DECADE ago that are funnier than this and that’s not exactly high praise, either. I mean, it’s amazing that they got these performers in these accurate-looking costumes, including one who is a billionaire dude of sorts, and produce the absolute worst dreck imaginable… actually, now that I think about it, I can imagine far worse dreck and this doesn’t come close to scratching that particular surface.
How is it that I watch something so inane and yet I’m able to type out a couple short paragraphs out of this? Is this really that bad?
And so, after watching the clip, I e-mail the fellow back and let them know my feelings… and I will just end it there.
It’s the Blood & Guts musings… and this time, I’ve seen the whole show and have had more time to reflect on the match… also, I noticed Jericho’s been cut off… oops.

Every once in a while, I’ll go on Steam and I’ll check the games that are on sale. Every now and then, one game in particular catches my eye.
Star Wars Battlefront II.
The new one.
The one that was once riddled with lootboxes and paid content that everyone threw a fit and EA lost money, forcing them to restructure the game considerably so that you’re less reliant on paid DLC and you can just stick with the basic package. Nowadays, I hear it’s pretty good and that the current version has atoned and made up for the mistakes it’s made.
Every time this pops up on sale, I give it a brief thought and I pass.
Sometime ago, this happened and I ask myself “why?” Why am I not jumping at the chance to grab this once former dumpster fire while it’s nice and cheap.
I supposed part of the reason is that I have the old Battlefront games and I enjoy those enough that they’re all the Star Wars Battlefront that I would ever need… even the gimped PSP games have their moment to shine. Another part could because despite sharing the same name, it’s not quite the same game that I’ve played. It looks similar, but it also looks similar to all those other multiplayer focused first-person shooters that I don’t particularly care for today.
So I skipped this one… again. And I’d imagine I’ll skip it again.
Why am I bringing this up? To be honest with you, I’m not quite sure. I suppose I wanted something to post up here and this is the only thing that really pops to mind. All the best to those who enjoy the game and such. But I have a feeling this isn’t for me.
I really should give that Squadrons game another shot, though.
Either that, or go back to TIE Fighter.
Later.
Otherwise known as Quarth… seriously, why couldn’t you just call it Quarth?

Quick morning-ridden edition of the DTM-Cast rambling about the Blood & Guts match… and maybe dabble a bit on the Daniel Bryan Danielson contract thing.
Proper episode is due May 16th and will be a Q&A episode. Some audio has been recorded, but I’m open for more questions. Use the side bar gimmick or email to submit questions and they’ll be used for this or future Q&As if need be.
You know… I ought to be talking about Blood & Guts. But… tomorrow.
In the meantime, we’ve got Rebellion from two weeks ago; the biggest show of the year for Impact Wrestling featuring the biggest match in the history of the wrestling business, a once-in-a-lifetime moment that seldom gets witnessed by wrestling fans around the world and of all ages. I am, of course, referring to the highly anticipated match-up between Brian Myers and Matt Cardonas.
Oh… and Kenny Omega defends his title against some jobber who is also TNA World Champion or something.
So, for the second time this year, I’m taking time to watch an Impact Wrestling PPV and with a big time hook like Myers vs. Cardonas (or, you know, the other thing) as a big hook, I’m fairly certain this show is going to do big PPV numbers… by TNA standards, at least.
Aw, let’s forget that noise and revisit the show, which I will admit only saw the replay this past weekend as I had better things to do on the night of the show. No doubt Don Callis is losing no sleep over this revelation. Also, not much to say in general, so forgive the somewhat skimmy nature of these musings.
