Hopefully Kevin Knight will be the breakout star of this year’s #AEWContinentalClassic. He’s awesome and had a great match with Darby on #AEWDynamite tonight.

Randomly came across some posts about Sektori so I downloaded it on Steam. The game is incredible. It's a twin-stick shooter like Geometry Wars with crazier action and pounding techo music that makes it all even more intense. Just top-tier, amazing stuff.

#AEWFullGear was a really good show that went too long. Joe as world champion again is cool. I figured he was winning tonight. Swerve’s return and his new music made him feel like an even bigger deal than he already was. Great ending to the PPV.

Statlander vs. Mercedes turned out to be a good match but it had a rough go. Crowd was pretty dead for most of it. Hard to do a match like that where someone gets their arm worked over for so long on the same show that a guy almost got impaled by a screwdriver. #AEWFullGear

Kyle Fletcher and Mark Briscoe always have the best matches together. Both guys are nuts. What a crazy match at #AEWFullGear.

Kyle O'Reilly and Moxley had a sick match on the PPV. They unexpectedly became one of the best feuds of the year. Kyle is great. #AEWFullGear

The Casino Gauntlet match was really fun and chaotic. Not sure about Ricochet winning to be the first National champion though. #AEWFullGear

Those uppercuts from Claudio are something else man. Dude is a beast. #AEWFullGear

Brody King and Bandido vs. FTR was an awesome match. #AEWFullGear

#AEWDynamite last night was really awesome. Both Blood & Guts matches were crazy. The women killed it in their first ever match together. Hangman and Hobbs also had a sick match fighting all over the arena.

Saw Death To All last night and they played the entire Symbolic album from beginning to end. It was so awesome hearing all those songs live. They put on an absolutely incredible, mind-blowing performance.

Hell of a game 7 and #WorldSeries. That was some fantastic baseball.

Think I would be physically sick if I was a Jays fan after that Dodgers home run to tie the game in the 9th. This has been a crazy #WorldSeries.

With the recent passing of Ace Frehley and the 34th anniversary of Death's Human album, here's a really cool cover of one of the best Kiss songs:

Been listening a lot to Testament's new album Para Bellum and it's really awesome. I love all all the different elements they added together with their thrash stuff. The drumming from Chris Dovas is sick too. Easily one of my favorite albums of the year.

September 2025 US video game data fun fact - The PlayStation 5 has now surpassed the PlayStation 3 in lifetime installed base.

So that's cool.

Shout out to Maki on the InstallBase forum for reminding me about this one.

Been out of the loop on AEW the past few months but caught up on #AEWWrestleDream. It was a really good show. Darby Allin is nuts. The Jurassic Express/The Young Bucks and Brodido/ Okada & Takeshita tag matches were awesome.

The McDonald’s x Street Fighter collab in Japan is incredible. No notes. 🤌

Ace Frehley, the wild Spaceman of Kiss who played guitar in the band throughout their Seventies heyday and again during the reunion period in the Nineties and inspired an entire generation of musicians, has died at age 74.

Rest in Power to the Spaceman Ace Frehley. I can't believe he suddenly passed away. His influence was monumental, especially on all the metal bands that followed. I was always more of a casual KISS fan but Ace's look and style is still cool to this day.

RIP to the legendary Tomonobu Itagaki. His Ninja Gaiden games on the original Xbox were some of the best of that era.

Saw that it was the 20th anniversary of Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi in Ring of Honor. Just watched the match for the first time and it's still incredible. The crowd is insane and both guys just kill each other the whole match.
