Has anyone been watching TNA recently? I've really enjoyed the last few episodes, it seems like since they've taken it on the road performing in front of an arena full of their fans has given them the boost they needed.

It seems like they're seriously upping their game to be a proper contender as a wrestling promotion. Kind of seems like the 'mature' alternative to WWE.

The most recent PPV lockdown was particularly good.

Do you know why they went on the road? To charge for tickets while paying the talent less.

Definitely agree there. The fans themselves are a major factor to Impact Wrestling being good. And it's nice to see them investing in a long-term storyline with the Aces & Eights, despite it not properly taking off until after Lockdown. Gotta give it to them for persevering with it though; it's definitely paid off. And it's gonna get better for TNA this week. Two things to look forward to on Impact tonight: the Gut Check match between Adam Pearce and Magno, and then the X Division contender's match between Mason Andrews, Sonjay Dutt, and Petey Williams. Then the next night: X-Travaganza. It's definitely X Division week. :woot:

According to several reports, former World Heavyweight Champion Christian has been cleared to compete, and WWE has plans to bring him back to television after WrestleMania, most likely as a babyface character.

Christian has been out with an aggravated shoulder injury since July of 2012, when he made his return just a few months after being taken off television due to a storyline shoulder injury. His last run with WWE was as a babyface, and Christian has noted in several interviews that inducting Edge into the Hall of Fame in 2012 was a major reason he wanted to end his career with the fan's support.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
