Currently watching Homecoming, not sure this PPV seems really low budget, the LAX vs Pentagon/Fenix match was awesome mind.

Looks-wise, yeah, a combination of not having much money to play with, plus - I hope - a nod to the original PPVs (the lighting made it seem like it was). I haven't reached the tag title match; just starting the Monster's Ball match, but it's been mostly good so far, especially the Ultimate X match and surprisingly, Eddie Edwards vs. Moose.

While I'm here, some good news that was announced during Homecoming...

 

Talk about turning a negative - not getting a proper TV deal and being offloaded onto one of Anthem's channels - into a positive.

Yeah that's not a bad move considering not many people have the Pursuit Channel

 

I dunno if you seen the World Title match the finish was...interesting!

So Kenny Omega and KUSHIDA both announced they have left NJPW.  Juice Robinson announced he's staying with NJPW. SoCal Uncensored has signed with AEW (shocking news there!). Lots of moves going on. I feel like NJPW is getting shafted big time here, since they've really used Western talent like crazy the last say, 10 years or more, and now all the big names are basically cutting dry and either going to AEW now, or WWE/ROH (one would assume). Though NJPW has said they will continue to work with ROH on their US expansion plans (which is smart, and good).

Speaking of Kenny he is signing with AEW if the recent events if anything is to go by.

 

Kushida probably NXT or 205

I have now, and what a cockup that was. 😖

 

I was expecting a Killer Kross run-in to help Johnny retain, that would've made the most sense, storyline-wise. Instead, we got a distraction involving two has-beens from Survivor in the crowd - who thankfully didn't jump the guardrail - and a botched pin.

 

I don't know why they keep doing this; putting on a great PPV throughout until they ###### it up in the main event, which is what most people end up talking about (although granted, Bound for Glory wasn't really their fault, that was Austin Aries being a prick).

I don't watch Impact that often just follow the news but for someone who hasn't seen it for a while I thought the PPV was a bit weak in parts and main event just ruined it.

The knockouts title match admittedly was weak, too; couple of good spots, but a screwy finish. There were still several good matches, like the ones I mentioned earlier, as well as the tag title match you mentioned. Speaking of which...

😲 Spot of the night.

I'm not one of those going nuts that Nia Jax is some horrible botch machine who needs to go die in a fire or something. But maybe some time at the performance center would be good for her, because at times she seems totally frozen or even dumbfounded on what to do in matches. That being said, I think that spot wasn't a botch so much as a spot that didn't go quite as planned. Also the match they had itself, was pretty fine for the most part. Nia Jax is also really laying into this heel persona and going with it, which I think is smart. I just can't stand how she acts lol

Yeah I guess Jericho not working for another promotion in the North American areas is not a thing anymore. I wonder if Vince or WWE did him dirty his last run or something.

WWE have already moved Jericho's profile to Alumni

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
