    yep I get the gist of it now... Jessi (Mindless Entertainment) and her dude Jeff (WCB) showed up at an event apparently from Nerdrotic/Gary and Jeremy of Geeks & Gamers in Vegas; like a fan meetup kinda thing.  The way she explained it a little while ago, Gary's wife came over to her and Jeff and said Gary told her they had been rude and he wanted them both to leave.  Gary himself came over at some point to tell them this to their face, so they got the boot from the event.

     

    ...and of course there's background leading up to this, apparently... previously, it sounds like Jess sided with this girl "MechaRandom" when she had some things to say about either Tom from "Midnight's Edge", and I guess since Tom & Gary are buddies that didn't go over well with them.

     

    y'know, if I cared to produce a youtube channel or 2, I'd be like one of those "reporters" that specializes in covering the latest drama and nasty scandals going on, dishing all the dirt "enquiring minds" want to know.  There's at least 1 popular channel I am aware of that does this already.

    Jeff Hicks, MechaRandom, Tom, and I think 1 other person (or a weekly guest) are all co-hosts of "The High Council" which is a shittier version of WCBs normal show. WCBs is actually funny sometimes, The High Council is rarely if ever funny.

     

    I've listened to the show on and off for a while, because I really hate Disney Star Wars and they constantly shit on it, but I'm wondering if it's really worth the time anymore.

    According to ESPN, the network averaged 6,488,000 viewers for the Euro 2020 Final. It was nearly two million more viewers than ESPN’s previous high for a Euro Final, which came in 2012, Spain vs Italy. Another 2.9 million tuned in Sunday on Univision, combining for a total average audience of 9.4 million people in the United States who watched the Euro 2020 Final.
     

    In comparison, the NBA Finals, which air on ESPN’s sister network ABC have averaged 8.9 million viewers through three games, featuring the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns. 8.56M in Game 1, 9.38M for Game 2 and 9.02 during Game 3. Viewership peaked at 11.1 million during Games 2 and 3. If the Euro Final aired on ABC instead of cable, the audience would have grown even more.

     

    Couple of thoughts about this:

     

    One, viewership of both American Football and Basketball are dropping partly because of all this BLM bullshit. People don't like getting lectured about unfairness by millionaire jocks/celebrities (of any race).

     

    Also Milwaukee and Phoenix aren't very popular NBA teams. Not trying to defend the NBA at all but it is definitely true.

     

    I'm not surprised that soccer viewership is rising in the US. What is surprising to me is that people here in Vietnam will stay up until 2 A.M. to watch some teams they have NO RELATION TO AT ALL. There are no Vietnamese players in the Euroleagues, and even if they were, they're not playing in a national team tournament anyway.

     

    I watch tournament steams of FG tournaments, but not at 2 am, and I actually have a chance to meet and interact with FG players. Soccer fans have no chance to meet their favorite players. It just seems like a huge waste of time to root for teams outside of your country and who you'll probably never even see play in person.

     

    People find a lot of ways to waste their time, and sports tribalism is definitely one of the strangest to me.

    I haven't seen any Fast & Furious besides 9. Do they pour on this family stuff as much in the other movies as they do in 9?

    I watched all of them through  Fast 5, which is before they started saying "family" in every goddamn line.

     

    I really like the first movie, 2 is okay, 3 is.... controversial, 4 is good, and everything after that is just way too much.

     

    This is supposed to be a movie about street racing. It is not that, and hasn't been since Tokyo Drift.

     

    The main character's been dead for 2 movies and they're still making them. Leaves a poor taste one's mouth.

    haha, as with everyone else who has experience the whole game now... I'm curious as to which boss you'd say is the worst/toughest?  

    Strange thing is that I admire the design so this isn't necessarily a negative commentary thing--- for me it's about a tie between Dr. Kahl's Robot and that green dragon.  The margin for error in the fight with Robot is extremely slim... looks like if you mess up even slightly there at any point it's all over for ya.

     

    hmm..between those top 2, I'm more inclined to say Green Dragon is slightly in the lead, actually... I have more faith in consistently beating Robot...whereas the fight with the green dragon involves a bit of luck.  There's sooo many things that can go wrong for the player in that fight....and a big part of the challenge is that there is no ground; you're jumping from 1 cloud to another while trying to fight a dragon who spits fireballs that later break into more fireballs.

     

    Oddly enough, even the final boss I'd say is easier than these 2.

    For me it's King Dice. 7 of the 9 mini-bosses to get to him aren't too bad, but 2 of them (Pirouletta dancer and Mr. Chimes- the monkey) are damn near impossible. AND THEN you have to fight King Dice as well. I only beat him because for some reason the game glitched and he went into a pose (he produces cards that run on  the ground) but for some reason no cards came out. So I just sat under him and kept shooting until he died.

     

    I think most of my deaths in the game come from Baroness von Bon Bon (candyland woman). Until I got the homing weapon, which finally allowed me to beat her.

     

    3rd would be Dr. Kahl's Robot (the same one you mentioned). Flying levels are tough.

    LOL if SSJ4 Gogeta is the last character released for DBFZ, I would say....that's certainly a way to go. Just throw balance out of the window, FUCK IT! LMAO

     

    I would guess they'll put SSJ4 Vegeta in since they've obviously made his model (you see it in the SSJ4 Gogeta intro) and they're all about re-using assets.

     

    But it definitely seems the lifespan is winding down. At least they nerfed UI before they abandoned the game.

    The clip is slightly taken out of context.  SS4 Gogeta has a mechanic where he can power up his supers up to level 7.   Once he reaches level 7 then he has access to the delete button.  From what I understand, if he uses any of his supers before he gets to level 7 it resets and he has to build it again.  It's still crazy though because it's already been found that he has a combo route that will allow him to reach Level 7 in said combo. 

    I knew it would be something like this. But if he can get to level 7 in one combo that is a problem.

    I'm so glad I don't play this game Competitvely because... What in the fuck. It's one thing to have a game that is accidentally like a broken mahvel game... It's another to purposely program a character to be broken. The fact the devs giggled like school girls during the demo tells me their is so much more broken shit to this character. 

     

    I wonder if it's actually like that.... Does he have a powerup move or something?

    If it's actually like that then he banned for sure. It's not even slow and avoidable like 16's instant kill. Nor does it hurt him.

     

    Something tells me it's not actually like that.
