  - I think Natural Born Killers and True Romance had a bit too - decline Jan 14, 09:02 1
    - True Romance with the Gary Oldman scene as written had to have on the television. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:06

- Holy moly. -- nm - Max Jan 14, 08:53
On a perhaps happier note: Have we seen the reaction of the SPA Studios folks upon watching the Academy Awards Nominations? -- (link) - JD Jan 14, 08:40 [youtube] 3

  - *shoots a traitor ... dances like a jester* - Max Jan 14, 08:57
  - Oh, here's why I think this: - Beryllium Jan 14, 08:57 2

  - Good question. I think it's because they jammed sticks up there. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 08:33 1
    - I guess that's a bit better than sounding -- nm - JD Jan 14, 08:34

  - I'm looking forward to 2020 being a big year in eScorts. -- nm - Max Jan 14, 09:19
  - In the current times. Many of the stars either do both or choose to focus on escorting - JD Jan 14, 08:16

- Dodger fans are butthurt over WS title. And Red Sox fandom is concerned for Cora's future -- nm - budice Jan 14, 09:11
- Krusty! It's happening, finally! -- nm - colin Jan 14, 08:53 1
  - Heh. 😁 -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 09:56
- Sidenote: Judge deleted off IG and Twitter the pics of him congratulating Altuve for winning the MVP -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 14, 08:27
- I love this. The Astros were dirty from the minute Lunhow got there. Cardinals got clipped for it... - Turd Ferguson Jan 14, 08:22
- I think the offense is way way way worse than Pete Rose. Who you pin it on, I don't know, but the result is far worse. - Volnelk Jan 14, 08:21 9
  - I agree completely! This wasn't close to as harsh as they were saying. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 08:25 7
    - Players needed to be suspended - eag Jan 14, 08:29 6

      - The commish gave them all immunity which I'm pretty sure wasn't necessary to get the info he wanted -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 08:30 1
        
        There was enough video and audio evidence - eag Jan 14, 08:35
  - 1,000% -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:23
- Burn. The league. Down. - Spawn Jan 14, 08:10 5
  - That seems a bit extreme - JD Jan 14, 08:13 4
    - Some people just want to see the world burn. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 08:15
    - But seriously, this is less than a slap on the wrist. If I am another team, I plan to cheat going forward. Because you know all the other teams will. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:15 2
      - It's an interesting point that is counter to what the league suggests will happen. - Volnelk Jan 14, 08:23 1
        
        $5M, such a small price to pay for a championship. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:24
- This echoed what I heard this morning. Owner of the franchise saw team value increase $400M for winning a WS. $5M fine? Sure. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 08:02 4
  - That's a fault of the rules of MLB as they did all they could as $5 Million is the maximum fine -- nm - JD Jan 14, 08:14 2
    - yep. The commish can't fine more than that. That needs to change. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 08:15 1
      - I’m sure the owners will get right on that. -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 08:54
  - $5M? I am sure we can find that in our couch! -- nm - Yankees Jan 14, 08:11
Hey Jim. Did you see that World's Fair Donuts will be reopening soon? - Brrrron Jan 14, 07:26 5
- Plenty of parking under the Sun Sphere! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 07:37
- Nice. At least it should be cleaner and maybe have people that can count change. Haven't been there in a few years, now that I think about it. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 14, 07:28 3
  - O'Fashion or St. Louis Hills are my usual donut stops, but I do occasionally hit World's Fair. Didn't realize they were temporarily shuttered. -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 07:31 2
    - I had no idea they were closed. If I donut - it's usually in north county anyway. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 14, 07:32 1
      - Tony’s! Tony’s! -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 08:09

B2 Shaun: this puts FF7 and Cyberpunk a week apart now. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 07:17 11
- With RE3 in the mix too. tbh, I probably won't be buying anything new until PS5. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:28 10
  - I think Cyberpunk might be my next purchase. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 07:35 9
    - yeah, me too -- nm - decline Jan 14, 07:52
    - I'm so bummed it is a first-person game. - Marlowe Jan 14, 07:39 6
      - So it's... not going to be like Witcher? -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 08:01 5
        
        TW is third-person, CP77 is first-person. - Marlowe Jan 14, 08:10 4
        
        Huh. I might need to see gameplay then before i purchase. - Strongbad Jan 14, 09:03 1
        
        That would be safe. - Marlowe Jan 14, 09:51
        
        Never try VR then :) -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 08:15 1
        
        Yeah, I know. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 14, 08:59
    - I currently have it pre-ordered (yay Walmart.ca E3 promo), but not sure if I'll keep it once it comes out. I should really get back to Death Stranding. -- nm* - Shaun Jan 14, 07:37
sit and vibe -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 14, 07:16
