NES Jaws Getting A Remastered Release… Why?

Source: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/12/limited-run-games-is-bringing-nes-jaws-to-switch-in-massively-expanded-form

Yes, those physical snake oil merchants at Limited Run Games have struck again, planning to unleash a new expanded version of Jaws on NES, which will apparently include material from all four movies. I hate to pull that one quote from former Sony executive Jim Ross, but I have to ask “Why would anyone play this?”

The original Jaws cart on NES is relatively cheap to pick up and even then, it’s not exactly a lost gem or anything like that. Despite what Jeremy Parrish would have you believe – and I’ve been a regular viewer of his stuff for the past few years and enjoy his insight on things – Jaws is not a game that is clamoring for a revisit, let alone a re-release.

For reference, my original Jaws video review from 2013 can be found here.

It Took Over Two Decades…

…but John Cena finally gave up.

And people are pissed because… why?

Did you really want another #LOLCenaWins moment?

What point would it serve?

So people can have a feel good moment that will be forgotten not soon afterwards?

John Cena tapped out to GUNTHER in the main event of the Saturday Night with a look of contentment. As if to say, “Yeah, I’m done. Time to call it a career.” Lots of fans are upset because he “deserved better” or whatever the nonsense is… but to me, it’s the only finish that made sense. The whole deal with John was that he never gave up, that he kept fighting to the bitter end. You can pin him, you can choke him till he fades, you can beat him to a pulp, but he always comes back because he never gave up.

Because once he gives up, there’s no going back. There’s no more fight.

John Cena had nothing left to prove. He got his #17. He got his Grand Slam. He has a storied career and reputation unique to him. He’s more that likely to get a Hall Of Fame induction down the road. His fight is over. His career is done. Of course he’s going to give up in his last match. Whether it was against GUNTHER or whoever else, John Cena was going to tap out and call it a career, walk off into the sunset, end of story. Fin.

As for GUNTHER… well, he got a rub of sorts. He ended two careers. Management seems to be pretty high on the guy. No complaints from me. I like the dude. Nice, basic throwback heel character. Hope he continues to do well in WWE.

But yeah… John Cena’s done. Doo do do doo.

James Gunn… he’s all yours.

WCW Monday Nitro (Dec. 11th, 1995) – Not Even Gary Spivey Could Save This Show

So this is the show that saw the end of the wrestling career of one “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff.

You folks remember Mr. Wonderful? Wrestlemania main eventer, once had a cage match with Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night’s Main Event? Eventually jumped to WCW and formed a tag team with former Horseman Paul Roma? Yeah, Mr. Wonderful wasn’t feeling wonderful until he had a chance encounter with Gary Spivey – that psychic with the ridiculous hair – and then he had a bit of a revival that ended with his mirror breaking and he needed Gary’s help again… at which point, he got a new mirror.

So he has a match with Disco Inferno and he beats the guy with a pretty slick back suplex… and then he runs into the Horsemen, they have a spat, and next thing you know, they’re given poor Mr. Wonderful a spike piledriver that pretty much put him out of wrestling forever. So ends the career of Paul Orndorff… which was going to end sooner or later due to years of lingering neck issues, so this was a way to write him off. Some psychic you turned out to be, Gary, you fucking hack.

The main event featured Hulk Hogan teaming with WCW World Champion Randy Savage against Flair and Arn Anderson… and since this is Charlotte, NC – Flair Country, pretty much – the crowd is very much against Hogan, who does his usual thing because he’s delusional… so, of course, Hogan wins and there’s a brawl afterwards… eh. I’ve seen worse.

DTM Rambles #29 – My Thoughts On The Game Awards

The narrator’s very succinct and very thorough thoughts on the Game Awards event that has become an annual tradition in the video game industry. The narrator describes in great detail what the narrator is looking forward and what the narrator expects will happen at the latest iteration of the prestigious event hosted by former Doritos pitchman Jeff Keelee. Other topics discussed includes the virtues of Pop Tarts as well as the behind the scenes effort in producing this thorough document.

The Annual “I’m Not Watching The Game Ads” Post

Welp, tomorrow will see the annual Game Awards take place; the walking advertisement for non-game products with occasional game trailers you could watch online and a handful of award presentations with winning speeches from people who are told to please wrap it up so we can have Geoff Keighley give Hideo Kojima his annual verbal blowjob. And true to form, this is my annual “I will not watch the Game Ads because I have better things to do with my time… like giving the dog a bath” post.

Please feel free to enjoy the show if you’re actually looking forward to this pile of shit, but please don’t bother me with this stuff. It’s not worth my time or energy.

Doctor Boo And Chef Gordon Debate Fish Custard

Doctor Boo and Chef Gordon debate the culinary value of fish fingers and custard. Obviously not a real thing and the AI thing helped a bit, which should strike fear in the heart of Marble Mouth Davies that ChatGPT can produce a better Doctor Who script than anything out of his return trip.

Anyway, here’s the fun portion…
