Well, who all is deciding if watching Roadblock this weekend will be worth it, or even WrestleMania?  I am not sure about watching either one, due to the way the product is being done.

I'll watch it; the live WWE Network specials are usually decent.

Speaking of Mr. Anderson...

Quote

Ken Anderson was released from TNA Wrestling after he failed a drug test … and multiple backstage sources tell us it was given to him after he appeared to be under the influence during a match.


Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us the match against Eric Young was supposed to air on January 19th, but Anderson looked so bad in the ring they had to remove it from the show.

We’re told he was immediately forced to take a drug test backstage, then sent home.

WWE Network was so bad tonight I completely missed the ending to HHH vs Ambrose. I had to go look up who won. :angry:

It was ###### at the beginning for me, then was fine by 20-30 minutes in. I've had some awful experiences trying to watch NXT weekly, though.

So, note to self: don't use the Network's free trial to watch WrestleMania. If it collapses under the traffic of a live house show, then WrestleMania will be a disaster to watch on there.

I honestly think that what needs to happen is WWE will have to pull a Netflix and buy peering agreements with the major providers. For me on demand stuff plays back fine 99% of the time. It's the live PPV's and specials where the network falls flat on it's ass for me. Doesn't seem to matter what platform I try on PS3, 360, HTPC or tablet.

They don't run it themselves. Its done by Major League Baseball Advanced Media. I think its more of a problem with the platform than bandwidth.

I remember reading about that situation with Netflix getting throttled by some of the big ISPs in America until Netflix paid them to stop it; that ###### is just blackmail from the ISPs. I can't believe they get away with it over there.

well, RAW wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be.  Really wanted Ziggler to beat HHH, but naw, can't have that, but was a good match.  Reigns got his "receipt" on HHH after that match, and "busted" HHH up a little in the head.  Crowd didn't sound into it, though, even though Reigns broke a monitor over HHH's back.  Shane botched his speech a bit, but otherwise did okay until "daddy Vince" pushed him into Undertaker.  I guess seeds planted for 'Taker to maybe turn on Vince?

Oh, yeah- crowd HATED "League of Nations" beating down Newday.  Seemed like the League wasn't really in to it  either, but that's just how it looked.

I just can't see the HHH vs Roman going on last. Just imagine Roman wins the belt and as Mania is going off air 100,000 people are booing his ass out of the stadium.

You won't need to imagine it, come April 3rd. What else could they close the show with? Shane vs. Taker would be a weird choice, Ambrose vs. Lesnar could work, but that seems pretty unlikely to happen.

Just watched last night's live episode of Impact Wrestling; go watch it if you can. TNA's seriously been on a roll recently; not even Josh Matthews on commentary can spoil it!

 

Spoiler

 

Guess Vince was right all along; he's the chosen one!

I'm expecting he'll return to ICW soon with the TNA title in hand (and probably cause a riot, or at the very least, get deafened by the "F*** TNA!" chants).

    • If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
    • It's actually shocking how logs filling disks has been a constant issue going back for decades, yet we see very little improvement over the years. Even in the server world, its actually shockingly common for a server to either go totally down, or have a critical alert raised due to logs filling disks.
    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
