www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/new-spartacus-series-starz-1235643463/Spartacus is one of my favorite shows. I'm actually rewatching it currently before learning of this news. But why is this a thing a decade later? “The series poses the question: What if Ashur hadn’t died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of Spartacus: Vengeance? And what if he had been gifted the gladiator school once owned by Batiatus in return for aiding the Romans in killing Spartacus and putting an end to the slave rebellion?” That's a dumb premise. I liked Ashur, but of all the things this is what they come up with? The Ceasar or Crassus spinoff was right there. Even with what if scenarios, there were better options that could've been explored.

This and Titan Quest II are my two most anticipated games. The only two games that I will be pre-ordering.
I'd put EA Sports College Football up there too, but I've no faith in current EA.

Saturday, November 25th:
Men's WarGames Match: Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes vs. Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh
Rhea Ripley defends the Women's World Championship against Zoey Stark
Gunther defends the Intercontinental Championship against The Miz
More TBA
I'm liking the announced matches thus far. Of course, the unannounced Women's WarGames match looks like it will probably a great one. But then I love that they put Asuka and Kairi Sane in Damage CTRL.
I do wish that they would have some traditional Survivor Series matches. There's room for a few of those and the WarGames.
Also hope that Alabama/Auburn play at 2:30. Would like to watch this live, but if it's up against the Iron Bowl then I'll just have to watch it Sunday. I generally love the PPV's being on a Saturday, but always sucks during college football season.

Have finally started playing Shadow of Mordor after years of having it.
I am really enjoying the combat. These animations are great, and pretty brutal too.

This douche is so petty.
Dude, your A show got crushed by the competition's C show.
But, "they loaded their show up, they were scared of AEW."
Ah, but you came on their night and made it a special named episode. A few old talent (and Cody Rhodes and unannounced LA Knight) appearing doesn't change the fact that it was the better show and deserved to be seen by more people on that basis alone.
Take the L and move on. That he's still butt hurt and tweeting about it, trying to find a win some how, two days later is sad. Dude's a billionaire and has like three jobs, take a break from social media.
EDIT: I don't dislike AEW, I watch Dynamite every week. Haven't watched Collision since football started (plus the WWE PPV's), and never watch Rampage. But that's just because I'm not watching three hours of wrestling on Friday night.
But Tony is a lot like Bungie, just makes it hard to want to support just because you know how they are.
If he put some thought into wondering why stadiums in the US for televised show are half full, or why they need to lower tickets to $10, or why they've gone from over a million viewers to now averaging a little over 800K for Dynamite... his product would probably be better.
But he spends time tweeting BS and letting folks get to him, even those who don't tag him. It's absurd. Like when he tweets that AEW has never been hotter (after Meltzer calls the product cold, rightfully so) and no one does big events better than AEW, does he actually believe it? Is he that delusional?
Has to be, after all when ratings fell he had to go to Cagematch fan ratings of all things to tweet about.
Spend less time thinking about WWE and more time on your product.

Great game!

NXT is STILL the best weekly wrestling show on TV. In fact, I'd say it's better now under HBK than it was in the Black and Gold under HHH.
Current NXT is like a great mix of Black and Gold and 2.0. Great wrestling, good to great stories and character building, just great booking all around.
Will check out Dynamite later, but from what I read while keeping tabs on it, there's no way the show was half as good as tonight's NXT was.

Mirage is everything I've wanted from a Creed game.
The stealth is great, the smaller map with a large city is great. It's the best of the old games combined with Origins and the best part of Valhalla (the gear upgrading).
I customized the controls to make it more like classic AC games. Run on R2 instead of L3, Eagle Vision on L3.
The only thing I don't care for is store. I haven't liked weapon packs and outfit packs since they started them. If you want to sell cosmetic weapon skins and costumes, fine. But selling items with perks is and always will be scummy. Especially in a game like this where there isn't even a Reda to give a chance at earning the stuff in game.

2 is a great one. The whole Ezio trilogy is, with Brotherhood being my favorite.
I'm loving Mirage. This is a great blend of the old and the new.

Been playing Lies of P on Xbox via Game Pass, and I have to say I am really liking it.
Surprising because I really don't care for Souls-like games. I tried and tried, but just could not get into Demon's Souls, Dark Souls or Bloodborne. Tried Nioh and Wo Long, didn't care for them either.
Something about this one is clicking though. Wishing now that I would've tried it earlier because I've gotten into it now and we're just days away from the release of Mirage, which is going to pull me away from it.

It's downright comical at this point.
Block a punt and take over at the 1. Easy QB sneak but no, line up in shotgun. Snap goes over QB head 20 yards. Then get sacked because terrible QB had no ability to throw the ball away. End up with a FG.
Then kickoff goes out of bounds.
Gonna need a whole new offense at this point because they all suck.
EDIT: Ok, much improved in the second half. OL actually did their job and Milroe was good enough. If the offense can manage to play like that going forward, and not continuously shoot themselves in the foot, they should be ok. Defense, while giving up some ridiculous first downs when it's 4th and 18 or 4th and 23, played lights out for most of the game. Held a really good Ole Miss offense to just 10 points.

Open beta for this is live and runs through the 25th.
Cross-platform too.
So far, after a couple of hours, it's a lot of fun. Feels like a good mix between Warframe, Destiny, Division, Outriders and Defiance. Shooting feels great, unlike most of these third person looters, and the enemies feel more in line with Destiny. By that I mean, you don't have to reload three times to take down a regular enemey. Minors go down quick, the majors take a little bit more. But nothing, thus far has been a bullet sponge. And it doesn't rely on taking potshots from behind cover.
This game has a lot of potential. Highly recommend you guys check it out.

This Bama team is like one from the Shula days. Straight garbage.
This OL is trash. Can't even push back USF. Pitiful.
And we start Buchner this week and he can't even throw screen passes. WTF is happening during practices?

LOL it's gonna be a long season.
This is just not a great Alabama team. Unless something changes, this is an eight-win team at best.
Milroe is not a good QB. How the others can seemingly be worse is beyond me.
OL being terrible also didn't help any. Of course, 3rd year in a row the defense has also been crap. Just embarrassing to watch. Saban doesn't even seem to care, the standard just continues to slip. Just keep getting a little worse each year.
Highlight of the game was the close up of that one chick's rack in the 4th.

Finally completed the Lightfall campaign on my Titan to unlock Strand. Not a fan of having to buy the strand fragments again, but whatever. Completed the campaign on Legendary.
Currently on my Warlock but just doing normal for it and my god is an absolute cake walk compared to the legendary version.
