Happy birthday, zorak mothr

That's right, we're doing seasonal name changes just like on the ASMB. Simply leave a post ITT and we'll be sure to get to you as soon as possible with your *OFFICIAL* spooky Halloween name!

My house including the walls is damn near covered in spiders and slugs. Can't put anything on the towel rack in the bathroom because it'll get coated in slug slime. Fuck

An extremely detailed and realistic Donald Trump mask and wig/costume. Gotta maximize my minutes

Any sugar-free chocolate treats?

Who is that?

Been rewatching What We Do in the Shadows lately before starting the new season. Is there a better show on tv? I don't think so.

My brain read BREAKING NEWS: Sniper

AEW makes me laugh a lot. Adam Cole with the fake rage against the machine theme song trying to be his group's x-pac. Never seen this guy before this but it's pretty funny how famous and immediately over he is, thinking about like people invested in WWE watching this going hrmm.... Black's entrance is much better without tony talking through it, but it was weird hearing complete silence from the 4 man booth for like 30 consecutive seconds since there's always constant chatter. They were clearly ordered not to speak during his entrance whatsoever the way talking ceased the moment it went to his music. I hope one time the lights come back on and Black is tripping in the dark or still scrambling to his spot. JR's endless fuckups are fine because they make me laugh, "RTF." His shitty attitude sometimes is also funny. Punk on commentary was pretty good, he seemed excited and talked a ton over the fozzy singalong and everything making a lot of jokes. So andrade is done with chavo and sticking with his other new manager named Jose who he threatens and abuses. Ok.. Is he going to get Ric Flair out of all this? Ric Tully Arn all on the same show... Tully is my favorite manager, just a very menacing, somewhat demented seeming old man who high fives his guys win or lose but either way he doesn't really have to do anything. Thinking about him fighting Sting in an actual match is hilarious these men are 60. RTF crushed that spike piledriver. Is the pinnacle over now..? That looked like a badly blown table spot. Excal tried to save it with "this is a lucite table" idk maybe. Why not just put him through it not-longways and just do a normal announcer table breaking spot. Kinda looked like shit. Punk is one thing but it is very surreal that Bryan Danielson is in AEW right now.

First

For the first time I was a couple pounds under instead of a couple pounds over (one of the key weight thresholds that determine the volume of plasma they remove from you) so it went quicker since I didn't have to give as much. This would usually pay less as larger people are able to make more money per $ due to donating more plasma (and taking a longer time to do so) but for rn it was still a flat $100. Feels good to be helping people during a pandemic with my bodily fluids somehow, and I appreciate the opportunity for $ from a non labor employer. I have developed some "superficial thrombophlebitis" on the same ide of my body as my donor arm. These are several little red blood clots visible beneath the skin on my hands and feet. Just like little red dots. Google says it's usually fine and goes away without incident in a couple weeks and lists recent injections as a common cause. Slight risk of serious complications beyond that. I'm not going to worry about it. Might switch up and try the other side for some balance, just wanted to avoid scarring that arm but o well Couple dots on the heel of my foot that I had been sitting on

That show was so good. Norm was great in that setting, plus the freaky intern breakout character, all of it

My favorite thing about Al Snow is all the many jokes throughout Mick Foley's first book like "it was the worst pain I had ever felt while not watching an Al Snow match"

Gonna say probably not since there's like a million similar-looking Samoans in that family and he was 18 at the time and not at all involved in wrestling beyond his family connection. That is a very 2003 list of Sunday Night Heat All-Stars... Meeting Booker is cool though, at least.

Sounds like he earned himself some Head. Maybe it's just the name of the city that makes it memorable but it seems like WWE was there all the time back in the day. Like damn near every few months they were once again coming to you live from Wilkes-Barre, PA

I still think Bray is the natural choice to take control of the dark order and finally do something with it, unless they just plan on letting it dissolve its way back to just a tag team, which I also wouldn't have a problem with. Idk though, they already got Malachi Black doing that sort of character on his own, so giving the dark order to bray would provide him with a little more to do out the gate other than just being another brooding solo guy trying to jostle for position among this stacked roster. Can Tony Schiavone please just go away forever? Or at least off of commentary and just stick to microphone holding? Their commentary is pretty bad overall but he absolutely ruins it for me.

There's some rom hacks that explore some of these questions and scenarios, if you ever wanted to play a pokemon game with some weirder and darker stuff than Nintendo would ever allow

Not painful at all except for the needle insertion. You have to keep the blood pumping by squeezing a foam rubber thing constantly so your hand might get pretty tired, but the more you do that the quicker it takes. If you just sit there and don't pump at all it takes twice as long.

Yeah it's totally predatory, always has been. $20-$100 for a plasma donation that is sold for hundreds or thousands. The Red Cross recommends donating plasma only once a month, but these places let you do it 2x a week with a day in between visits infinitely. There are regulars who come in and know all the nurses and have their usual chair. I read that frequent donors have lower quality plasma bc fewer proteins in the blood and stuff (this is something they prick your finger and test for before every donation), I'm sure those exploited lifers are less healthy in some intangible way because of all their many constant donations. I'm not really worried about it in the short term but yeah, it's not something I would do regularly for years. It's probably fine though.

They probably said something like Earn Up To $1000 This Month As in they'll pay new donors $1000 if they donate twice a week for four weeks, something like that. It definitely wasn't $1000 for one or two donations.

He'll yeah

They also had Fastlane... The only thing I watched on techtv was the occasional late night anime like Gungrave and Last Exile. And catching a lot of two second glimpses of Screen Savers while channel surfing, seems like that show was on all the time.

It seems kinda murky but they're acting like it's imminent from what I can tell, unless kids these days are using terms like "on air" and "tv" to describe being hired to do a twitch show or something. https://g4tv.com/ Like for real. It's really coming back. There's a website with a fancy purple shape design with stars in it and everything. You might be asking, "Why relaunch a TV network about video games now? We already have Twitch and YouTube!" Great question, we'll think about it. In the meantime, here's what we CAN tell you... G4 is a digital first network going live in 2021. Will it be on TV? Comcast pays the bills, so take a guess! The network will feature gaming and pop culture shows plus epic live special programming. And an alpaca every now and then. It will look awesome, but also kind of low budget at the same time. We're doubling down on reruns of COPS and Cheaters. Okay, that last one was a joke. The rest is true. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/g4-talks-summer-relaunch-attack-of-the-show-x-play G4 dropped a little buzz bomb in the midst of last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, with a cryptic tease hinting that the groundbreaking network, which for legions of fans elevated gaming and geekdom to a higher plane of of pop culture status, would be returning to television after airing its last broadcast late in 2014. Now the newly-resurrected network is closing in on an actual launch date for later this year, and some of the key creatives who’re making it happen are beginning to talk about what to expect. If you’re a fan of old-school G4 mainstays like the gaming-focused X-Play or the live news/variety daily Attack of the Show!, there’s reason to celebrate: G4 has confirmed that both those series will be coming back under the network’s new programming lineup, and — just as before — they’ll serve up tech and gaming news with a generous side of funny. Thought this was more credible a second ago but just realized syfy.com isn't SyFy the cable channel, which I'm pretty sure still exists? But o well it has some quotes from a old G4 tv host guy so Wait... it IS SyFy...the home page of the site just really looks like that.

It'll probably be on Sling I assume, they stay loaded with terrible channels and are always adding new ones as they crop up. From their twitter it sounds like they're still doing "prelaunch" stuff right now but when it's up I do kinda want to go to a bar or somewhere and ask them to put on G4 and just sit there for a couple hours feeling 2007 time travel vibes

It really is a nice stimulating feeling, along with being a pleasant word to say, nostalgia.... I was just randomly trying to remember the name of the guy who hosted xplay at 1AM and after finally digging up "sessler" had to go to his wiki to see what he's been up to. Recruiting video game players with existing audiences makes sense, I wonder if we'll be getting Let's Plays on cable tv lol.
