What would happen if fans ran the WWE

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Impetus: Butthurt wrestling fans flood social media with their displeasure of latest WWE product, make major outlets like TIME actually think WWE is in trouble.

The WWE’s going to be fine.  They’ll weather the age of insufferable (social media) as they weathered the age of steroids, the age of reality, the age of competition, and every other age that they’ve ever had to weather.

As much as I hate to cite those obnoxious “Keep Calm” sayings, it actually rings true when it comes to wrestling fans, primarily those that only pay attention to the WWE; they simply need to keep calm and trust in Vince, because one way or the other, the company is going to survive this, they’re going to adapt, and they’re going to make it.

The perils of watching Breaking Bad

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

I started watching Breaking Bad.  Yes, I’m like five years behind the curve on this one, but anyone that knows me knows that that’s usually the case; I mean, I just started reading Game of Thrones too, and that’s about as equally behind the curve as far as current trends are concerned.

Either way, I like Breaking Bad, as I knew I would once I actually started to watch it.

But man, is it sometimes a dangerous show to watch, for anyone who may or may not get tendencies to grow disenchanted with their own jobs.

Oh, Square

Long story short: Final Fantasy XV (fifteen(!!)) becomes the first Final Fantasy game in the franchise to have the trademark Cid character be a female.

Knee-jerk reaction: It’s sad to think that Cid, who has always been somewhat a symbol of integrity, importance and sometimes humor, has been reduced to a token pile of tits for this one.  I’m not saying that she’s not going to be possibly important, possibly humorous and possibly have integrity, but she’s still going to be paraded around like a pile of tits.

It’s seeing things like this that make me tell myself that I really wish the franchise would go with its namesake, and actually finalize the fantasy, and stop making them.  Obviously that will never happen, because the franchise is a veritable printer of money, but it’s still a sad state of affair that the series continues to go down this bumpy slope, even if it is reflecting and attempting its hardest to appeal to modern ideals.

Gym math is clearly difficult

While at the gym I saw a guy doing chest fly on a machine.  I mean, there’s a joke in that itself because machines are for people who don’t lift, but hear me out on this one.

Crucified on the stack of weights of 15 lb. increments were two 45 lb. plates.  Adding a plate onto the pin isn’t necessarily an uncommon practice, as I’ve seen plenty of people at the gym do it when certain machines for whatever reason lacked the “add +5” mini plates, or if they were such beasts that the maximum weight were not enough, and they insisted on adding ten more pounds instead of graduating to y’know, free weights.

But to add two plates, much less plates the weight of 45 lbs. apiece, that’s a first for me.  But here’s also where the story begins to get a little funny, at least to me, and hopefully you reading this.
