My Thoughts and Words 365.

This article was prewritten in December but I kept pushing it to this week. Every column this week including the list will be a Royal Rumble article. Tomorrow the article will rank each of the Royal Rumble matches. Expect personal bias. This is a significant match. We had the first Royal Rumble match for men 31 years ago. It's amazing with all the great women signed on in the past they would have had one before. But women's wrestling in WWE is actually better now than it ever has been. Charlotte, Natalya, Asuka, Bayley, Sasha Banks, etc. You have a ton of great divas in developmental like Ember Moon, Peyton Royce, Nikki Cross, etc. And now they are getting more legitimized with singings of some of the best women around the world including Candice LeRae, Kairi Sane, etc. Not to mention legitimate fighters like Shanya Baszler and a potential Ronda Rousey signing.(Two of MMA's 4 Horsewomen. A 3rd Horsewoman is married to NXT star Roderick Strong.) And it isn't just in t

Coming into this week I was 3-5 in my football predictions. This week didn't hurt, but it also didn't help. 1/21/18 1. (1) New England Patriots VS (3) Jacksonville Jaguars 3:05 pm est. CBS My Pick: New England Patriots Winner: New England Patriots 2.  (1) Philadelphia Eagles VS (2) Minnesota Vikings 6:40 pm est. FOX My Pick: Minnesota Vikings Winner: Philadelphia Eagles This brings my total predictions to 4-6 with no chance at 50%. I was going to pick the Pro Bowl but I realized that game isn't fun and they probably shouldn't even allow defenses on the field. As for my Super Bowl pick? It will be released on the day of the Super Bowl, two weeks from today. Tomorrow starts a theme for the blog that will run through next Sunday. Most likely not TBT this week. 

Here is the list for the Kingdom Hearts games. I previously gave you the chronological timeline.

I again apologize for the late blog. However I was waiting for history to be made. That history had to do with the United States government and it potentially shutting down. Below is a list of comprehensive facts about the government shutdown from multiple sources. We break down the Senate majority, the house majority, the president, the specific date it happened on, Trump’s 2013 comments where he said if he were president he would make a deal and not shut the government down, his secret meeting to get a deal and what he and Chuck had for lunch, The sweeteners of the deal, and what was actually in the deal. Then I’ll leave you with a few comments of my own, as well as a picture if I can find it.  Current senate map. Republicans have the majority.  R- 51 D- 47 I- 2 Interactive Map Then we have the House of Representatives. Republicans have the majority. R- 238 D- 193 V- 4 (empty seats vacated that need filled.)  Government This is the first time the go

This article was published by the WVU Tech Collegian on 11/9/10. Very timely as Fable 4 is rumored to be in the works. Copied directly from the WVU Tech Collegian website. All errors were present in the original draft that they school published. Game: Fable 3 Release Date: 10/26/10 Platform(s): XBOX 360 Rating: 10/10 The 3rd installment of Fable takes you to the industrial age of Albion. The game is immediately upgrade. This time you have the choice of being a prince or princess. The game is centered on political and industrial revolution. Game-play wise, it is very similar to previous Fable games. I think that is a good thing. There was nothing wrong with the old system. You no longer have to hold a button to get your experience orbs; they just come to you. This saves valuable time while battling hobbes, mercenaries, or balverines. You will see familiar characters like Theresa, Jasper, and Reaver in big roles. They added a few things like adopting a child in the games. Yo

The WWE has been killing it over the pasts two years bringing in outside talent and making tournaments work. The CWC, or Cruiserweight Classic was excellent. They signed several talents from there including finalists Gran Metalik & TJ Perkins. Then they had their Women's tournament where they again signed finalists Shayna Baszler & Kairi Sane among others. Even their in house tournaments like the Dusty Rhodes Memorial Classic work. So why doesn't the WWE Mixed Match Challenge work? Several reasons. The first reason is the rule of men vs men and women vs women kills tag team wrestling. This has been a standard for many years and rarely is it broken.(Beth Phoenix, Awesome Kong, & Chyna wrestling men. Gerald Briscoe & Pat Patterson wrestling women.) For good reason too. The WWE is a PG rated product. They are a PC company for the most part. Occasionally they have story lines that go south. So men hitting women wouldn't necessarily look right in the eyes of mo

1-3 last week. I'm 3-5 total on the season. To salvage a winning record I have to win all 3 of the games. Here are my picks for this week. 1/21/18 1. (1) New England Patriots VS (3) Jacksonville Jaguars 3:05 pm est. CBS Winner: New England Patriots 2.  (1) Philadelphia Eagles VS (2) Minnesota Vikings 6:40 pm est. FOX Winner: Minnesota Vikings

2-2 in week 1 of the playoffs. How did week 2 pan out for me?  Saturday January 13 (1) Philadelphia Eagles VS (6) Atlanta Falcons 4:35pm EST NBC My Pick: Atlanta Falcons Winner: Philadelphia Eagles (1) New England Patriots VS (5) Tennessee Titans 8:15pm EST CBS My Pick: New England Patriots Winner: New England Patriots Sunday January 14 (2) Pittsburgh Steelers VS (3) Jacksonville Jaguars 1:05pm EST CBS My Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers Winner: Jacksonville Jaguars (2) Minnesota Vikings VS (4) New Orleans Saints 4:40pm EST FOX My Pick: New Orleans Saints Winner: Minnesota Vikings  Record for Week 2: 1-3 Record for Week 1: 2-2 Total Playoff Record: 3-5 Tomorrow I will release my picks for next week's AFC/NFC Championship games.

Let’s start by saying Kingdom Hearts has a convoluted Timeline. With Kingdom Hearts 3 wrapping production any year now I thought I should post a brief timeline. Last year Square Enix releases the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2.5 Collection on PS4. It followed it up with Kingdom Hearts 2.8. Here is a list of movies and games with the order they should be consumed in. Note a few of these happen concurrently but after viewing both it is clear which you should do first. 1) Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover Movie (2.8 Collection) 2) Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (1.5 & 2.5 Collection) 3) Kingdom Hearts (1.5 & 2.5 Collection) 4) Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep: A Fragmentary Passage (Kingdom Hearts 2.8. The actual game runs can ncurrently with Kingdom Hearts. The beginning and end scenes are after Dream Drop Distance.) 5) Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. I suggest watching the YouTube that combines both playthroughs as the game is rough.(1.5 & 2.5 Collection) 6) Kingdom Hearts 3

And so it begins. The first openly gay athlete in the United States of America, in a major sport. In its second most popular sport, the NBA. Everyone has reported every bit of information on this particular subject. Yet some people are still wrestling with acceptance of Jason Collins. Of course it seems like the NBA players are rallying behind him with support from Baron Davis & Kobe Bryant out of the gate. Yet you still have some very prominent media members like Chris Broussard who makes a mockery of both religion & the NBA. He says he was raised in a church & essentially didn’t believe in people being gay on ESPN’s Outside the Lines… yet many of the NBA players that he fraternizes commonly cheat on their wives & girlfriends. How does this not also violate his religious beliefs? I mean I’m sure they don’t get married every night to a different girl, with the church annulling their previous marriage. So today we are here to take on two issues. The first is  how rel

This is part two of my two part blog on the MCU. I rated the movies in order of what I thought about them yesterday. Today we will be looking at what has been announced from 2018 to 2020. February 16, 2018: Black Panther. With the recent announcement of Kendrick Lamar doing the soundtrack I couldn't be more excited. Hearing that the first cut of the movie is 4 hours can be a little intimidating. I assume they will do their best to trim the fat and introduce us to Wakanda which will play a pivotal role in their next movie as well. May 4, 2018: That movie is Avengers: Infinity War. They've shown us several big set pieces in the movie. They've shown us all the characters. It is going to be interesting if they can weave the web correctly and make us care about Spider-Man from the Spiderverse, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, The Avengers who are exiled, and whatever characters they may have pop up. It will also be interesting if they can properly establish Thanos as t

Hello! I'm no longer under the weather so we get to tackle a more in depth subject ranking today. Ranking things is again, one of my favorite things to do. What's the best and what's the worst. So far Marvel has released 17 movies in the MCU. We have 1 more planned before Infinity War with Black Panther. I will rank the first 16 movies and make an updated blog after I see Thor: Ragnarok & Blank Panther so we have all 18 ranked before Infinity War. Then another blog letting you know where I think Infinity War is ranked. After that I will tier give you my tiers for the movies. 16) The Incredible Hulk 15) Thor 14) Captain America: The First Avenger 13) Iron Man 2 12) Ant Man 11) Doctor  Strange 10) Thor: The Dark World 9) Iron Man 3 8) Avengers: Age of Ultron 7) Iron Man 6) Captain America: Civil War 5) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 4) Spider-Man: Homecoming 3) Marvel's The Avengers 2) Guardians of the Galaxy 1) Captain America: The Winter Soldier I

Hey guys a little under the weather so putting this article up while taking some cold medicine.

Here's my lackluster bowl performance. This may be the worst in my career and the only year I don't think I've ever won less than 25 games. Somehow I have a chance to win. All I have to do is not lose the national title or predict the better score for the tie breaker. No pressure, right? Again I will reveal my national championship pick next Monday at the start of the game. My predictions may lead you to the right team. Saturday December 16 1) Celebration Bowl: Grambling Tigers (11-1) VS North Carolina A&T Aggies(11-0) 12:00pm Winner- NC A&T Aggies Win 2) R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl: Troy Trojans (10-2) VS North Texas Mean Green (9-4) 1:00pm Winner: Troy Trojans Win 3) Autonation Cure Bowl: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (6-6) VS Georgia State Panthers (6-5) 2:30pm Winner: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Loss 4) Las Vegas Bowl: #25 Boise State Broncos (10-3) VS Oregon Ducks (7-5) 3:30pm Winner: Boise State Broncos Win 5) Gildan New Mexico Bowl: Marshall Thunderi

This list is based on speculation. Nothing more. Some dates are firm. Some are super loose and could end up in 2019. Comment below with what games excite you. 10. Metro Exodus(multi-console)- I had never played Metro until I bought a two pack over the summer. I figured if Exodus intrigued me at E3 that I should dive in and see what all the fuss is about.  I wasn’t disappointed. It looks more survival horror than say Fallout. It still has shooter principles. It had a mutated bear in the first trailer. 9.  State of Decay 2(XboxOne exclusive)- More State of Decay? Yes please. Rumored in the spring(April?) Yes please. Multiplayer? Check please. Where do I pay? Can’t wait to load into a world for some zombie fueled fun in State of Decay. 8. Super Mario Maker Switch(Switch exclusive)- It will probably be a Port if Mario Maker with added features. Believe me that’s not only what I want but what you want as well. Again a good game for a Baron first half of the year. 7. Fire Emblem Swit
