        oh, I like Jane, but he is not actually box office PED's, you know? -- nm - groiny May 10, 07:55 1

        I had read the comics they based it on...not awesome like the first or anything; but for a shoot-em-up it is rewatchable -- nm - Beaker May 10, 08:39 1
        
        and haven't really liked any of the new ones (Predators was decent though) -- nm - Beaker May 10, 08:40
      - Predator vs Thanos, I would watch. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 10, 07:36 3
        
        To watch Predator get totally raped I guess? -- nm - Jovian May 10, 07:38 1
        
        Predator vs Sharknado? -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 10, 08:34
        
        maybe when Disney owns everything -- nm - groiny May 10, 07:37
      - Yep. I have learned to be content that some of my favorites from the 80s have not been remade yet. (Time Bandits, Goonies, 9 to 5, Hughes flicks, etc) -- nm - Jovian May 10, 07:35 1

Random thought , but HSX delaying the blockbuster warrants instead of releasing them all at the beginning of the season is lame. - volnelk May 10, 05:58 7
- All of the new rules suck and they stifled their own game. Idiots -- nm - Epiphany May 10, 06:54 1
  - yonh. -- nm - Diva May 10, 07:42
- It can payoff well to buy them when something goes nuts like Black Panther or Beauty + the Beast but yes, there's no skill, luck or guesswork - Diva May 10, 06:16 3

Not much to play for going into the last weekend of the Premier League and I am completely cool with that. Thank you, Huddersfield. -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 05:45

    - you were correct - GDPR rules - Beaker May 10, 06:11 1
      - Thought so. Imagine if Facebook did the same. -- nm - LMS May 10, 06:23
- Wait, what? They aren't even open internationally now? -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud May 10, 05:45 12

      - Ha! -- nm - LMS May 10, 05:57
    - Maybe but those rules are more common sense -- nm - Karl_S May 10, 05:49 2
      - Not the way my work seems to be getting ready for it though, they're making it extra complicated. -- nm - LMS May 10, 05:54 1

I can't throw an excellent curveball to save my life. -- nm - amanda May 10, 05:27 16 1
- Curious - are you a lefty, by chance? nm - Johnny Lawrence May 10, 06:20 1
  - no, I'm just a terrible thrower. -- nm - amanda May 10, 06:56
- i used the balls you get at the end of the raid to practice when i was just catching something from a raid i didn't care about. -- nm* - Andie May 10, 06:08 8
  - and do it on things like Wailmers - big things! bigger circles! -- nm - Andie May 10, 06:09 7
    - also keep spinning until they do the taunt before releasing so it doesn't bounce off -- nm - SyrDragon May 10, 07:58
    - Wailmer was pretty easy...but they're more scarce again. Makuhita has a decent sized circle. - Johnny Lawrence May 10, 06:14 5
      - Psyduck is a good one as well. - the wrong element, bad guy May 10, 07:07
      - Which, by the way, after seeing 290 of them, I finally got my shiny yesterday. Now - Meditite! nm -- nm - Johnny Lawrence May 10, 06:18 3
        
        Opposite here, i got my shiny Meditite, but no Maku. -- nm - Andie May 10, 06:18 2
        
        Still looking for shiny on either one :( -- nm - SyrDragon May 10, 07:57

  - I think those are for Greats -- nm - SyrDragon May 10, 07:59
  - 5 Excellents in a row? That's crazy. nm - Johnny Lawrence May 10, 06:21
- I've been told I'd throw a great splitter based entirely on how I hold the ball. I haven't put this into practice. I prefer to live the dream. -- nm - Baron Zeno May 10, 06:02
- You'd still look great pitching it, and that might just be enough. (I'm assuming dastardly villain ultimatum scenario here?) -- nm - Max May 10, 05:32
