Masterchief Collection, Halo Infinite, and the Fable games are primarily what I'd like to play.
Loved Fable, never got to play Fable 2 or 3. Likewise, loved Halo and Halo 2, never got to play the others.

It just makes sense. $289 for the S, $40 for 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate.
3 months is all I'd need anyway at a time.

Considering getting an Xbox Series S.
Reasons:
- Haven't had an Xbox since the original - There's a lot of games on GamePass I'd like to play - S because I'll be playing on a 1080p monitor, and don't care about anything above 60fps. Also because good luck finding an X - S because PS5 will still be my primary system for any game not included in GamePass
Considering, not rushing out to get tomorrow.
Someone talk me out of it. Or convince me to do it.

So apparently, Tony Khan is willing to give MJF a raise, he just wants to him to sign a new contract for "more years." Which MJF, supposedly, doesn't want to do.
I can see both sides, and don't think you can fault either.
MJF made a name for himself in MLW; big fish, small pond. Was making peanuts in MLW though.
Signed with AEW when it was getting off the ground. Seems like a five year deal. Went from making practically nothing to $300,000 a year, give or take some.
He's been a big part of building the company up and a "homegrown" star. Always gets TV time, big feuds since around the start of Dynamite. He's worth more than ~$300,000 to the company, and can certainly understand his frustration when he sees former NXT guys come in and make substantial more. Hell, Big Show makes substantially more doing commentary for the YouTube show.
I can see why he wouldn't be happy, given the work he's put in. I can also see why he doesn't want to re-sign for more years. He knows WWE will be able to offer more money for him, knows that WWE would offer up more opportunities post wrestling too.
At the same time, Tony's position is certainly reasonable and the expected one for any half way decent business person. No real reason to give someone more money for the remaining time they're contracted when they've made it perfectly clear that they're open/looking to leave when the contract is up. Sign a new contract to make more money, makes sense.
Current deal is up in 2024. What's "more years?" That going be 2026, 2027 or beyond? If so, I wouldn't sign either. We're not quite to the half way point of 2022 yet. He's smart enough to know WWE will soon be getting even more money for their television shows. No sense handcuffing himself by extending a contract now. Also smart enough to realize that he's the biggest of the home grown stars for AEW, and for that reason alone WWE would be willing to pay a lot to get him just for the optics of "AEW original chooses WWE."

For me, NXT 2.0 is still the best weekly show on TV.
With that said, I've become a big fan of Level Up. It's more developmental than 2.0 itself is, but it's just a fun, quick show. 3 matches, 30-minute program. Flys right by.
Granted you're not going to see a four-star match on Level Up or anything, but the matches are still a lot better than you'd expect given the inexperience of a lot of the people.

Next week is the final week of season 16.
I'll be back into this on the 24th when the new season begins. Looking forward to the dungeon, and the Iron Banner changes sound pretty good. Excited to play Rift again. Bummer that it's only going to be 2 Iron banner's a season though.

Played Destiny a little bit for the time since March 20th or so yesterday.
Had to check out Guardian Games and get the new SMG. Probably won't play much, but I'll be back on at the start of next season for the first few weeks of it anyway.

Worldslayer, the first expansion for Outriders, drops on June 30th.
I enjoyed the hell out of Outriders for like almost a month, then dropped it. Got good loot, was able to speed run through World Tier 15 content. Put it down with the intent on returning to it but never did.
Reinstalled it today and will be spending some time with it soon. Likely make a new character, as games like that I kinda have to relearn after around a year break or so.
Not committing to pre-ordering anytime soon though.

The update today was really good. Chose Tiers raised from 20 to 35 with new Primordial loot dropping on Chaos 35.
Went up to 35 from 20 without ever making any change to my build, so that was good. That was on my second character, which is m new main. First character got hit pretty hard with the nerf a week ago, so I'm going to have to get a new build for him that's not based around one weapon.
The DLC was pretty disappointing. No way if you were to buy it as a standalone would it have been worth $10.

LMAO, what kind of ending was that Tony?
Imagine hyping up an overrun, doing the lights out thing, and then debuting generic giant Indian heel.
Joke's on me for expecting something better, like say Cesaro.
That was a very WWE ending and deserves to be crapped all over like it would be in WWE.
Also, not Dynamite related, but they've done a swell job of making Battle of the Belts being a complete afterthought. When the specials were first announced, I thought they'd be cool Clash of the Champion type big shows. Instead they do the big matches on Dynamite or Rampage, and waste the special. Makes no sense. They happen a few times a year, not every week, make them a big deal.

No Man's Sky got its 19th free major update today, this one called Outlaws. www.nomanssky.com/outlaws-update/Since I have no desire to return to Destiny, I'm going to work this one alongside Tiny Tina's and WWE 2K. Even though I haven't played this nearly as much as I should have, I've always enjoyed it and am super impressed with the support Hello Games continues to give it. All for free too.

All around, great WrestleMania. Easily the best of the two-night ones.
Had fun both nights. Actually loved Zayn/Knoxville, exactly what a match between a comedy character and a Jackass should've been. Straight Loony Tunes.
All three of the celebrities nailed it in their matches. Pat is the GOAT.

Gotta be happy for Kevin. Of course, there are those that will complain that he lost to an old man who hasn't wrestled in 19 years, but who honestly cares?
Lot of Internet fans were angry at Kevin and calling him a moron for resigning with WWE instead of joining friends in AEW. Taking nothing away from AEW, and putting aside the seven figures WWE is paying him a year, last night was probably enough to make him more than happy to have resigned.
He got to do something, as a lifelong fan, that AEW could have never given him... a WrestleMania main event against one of his favorite wrestlers growing up and one of last match of one of the most popular superstars ever.

Great night.
Bummer about Boogs.
Becky/Bianca was great. Seth/Cody was great. Charlotte/Ronda was pretty good as well.
I had a smile on my face from the moment Kevin Owens came out until the show went off. Austin went above and beyond. Great brawl, fantastic moment. I was sports entertained.
Pumped for Night 2.

Dakota became a face again when Wendy Choo befriended her. Toxic Attraction took out Raquel and tried to help Wendy/Dakota win the Dusty Cup because they thought they would be the easier team to defend against. Failed.
They did something to Wendy backstage, and then attacked Dakota. Raquel came down and made the save, and then the two hugged it out and are friends again. Really playing into that whole Big Mommy Cool thing and the similarities of HBK/Disel the two had going.

Wonderlands is my jam, has completely killed any desire I had to play Destiny.
Some folks will slam the endgame as being "repetitive" because it's mostly just doing Chaos Chamber, but at least it's randomized, full of fun blessings and curses, and of course rains loot.
Already rolling a second character.
