"My experience by the end with WWE was overproduced, over rehearsed, over EVERYTHING. And it kept handcuffs on you to where you couldn't really explore too much. That's not the case with AEW, it's fun!" - Adam Copeland on Ariel Helwani Show

Timestamped where the discussion of it all began: link

Of course it's been great to see over these nearly three (!!!) years what Cope has been able to do with AEW as far as stretching his creative muscle from talking about the initial vignette filmed with Darby ahead of Wrestledream to the Brood reunion to the approach with Christian Cage as rivals and reunited tag team partners. And hey, some like Cope and Mox may thrive in bringing endless ideas to the table in AEW which is something he also emphasized in the interview and then on the other side of the coin, you have Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins doing things how they prefer to do them in the WWE machine.

What are some games that do cutscenes solidly as quick action-packed moments and not twenty minute cinematic pieces of dialogue?

Games that have cutscenes quickly show up with a bang a la Spiderman for the PS1 in 2000. EXAMPLE

Tired of playing games with cutscenes in the same graphical style as the gameplay where they talk and talk and talk. Hoping for some 5th and 6th gen goodness that you all might recommend?

Commercials for PS2 that played in movie theaters?

I recall seeing a commercial for the PS2 in a movie theater ahead of the previews in 2002. Does anyone else recall seeing this back then?

Did anyone else go to a midnight launch for the Gamecube console and get free donuts and milk?

Those were the days!

What was your midnight launch experience like and did they have any offerings?

That time my manager ended the restaurant's business with Sysco entirely

Manager aka owner of a popular burger spot in the state had been using Sysco for deliveries since they opened over a decade ago. The amount of times that we saw boxes left outside, utensils delivered in place of the bacon we actually ordered, late deliveries, failure to pick up crates and much more just piled on over the years. The final straw for the owner was when the Sysco delivery guy dropped off our order and called out the owner for "not taking care of him" since this was during the holiday season. Owner told me to shut the door and I don't know what he said to the guy, but he ended up discontinuing with Sysco. Not sure what they're using nowadays since I'm no longer there, but it got me wondering if this all happened to anyone else.

Those who got the Gamecube in 2001, which games did you get for it that year?

Whether it was on launch day, for the holidays or whenever in 2001, I am curious as to which games you all got in the last two months of the year!

Which game was clearly an attempt to start a franchise but it ended up going nowhere after that?

First one that comes to mind is Cheetahmen from Action 52 where they were being marketed as the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles phenomenon but due to the failure that was Action 52, all plans went kibosh.

Which other games come to mind that were going to be a franchise launching pad but ultimately went nowhere?

Should next season have another updated intro?

With the context of two new seasons now, perhaps it's time to update the intro and give it a more modern setting rather than going from the original timeline to Saudi Arabia and then back home? How would you envision an updated intro to the update being like?

Why was everyone so grey in the Rugrats Movie?

It was pretty distracting that they were so grey to the point they were nearly purple.

So is Scott just done with his initial chronological series such as E3, Sonic the Hedgehog, and such?

Was looking forward to seeing him cover E3 2002 and Sonic Adventure and beyond but it seems like other than Mario Party, he just abruptly ended those? His main channel is basically set up for quarterly sitcom movies now whereas the Stash is his hand showing us random stuff but I'm kinda bummed how he just abandoned his original timelines and now it's kinda chaos.

What's there to do and check out downtown in 2026?

Last time I was there, I think there was a video rental shop about to open. I try to go annually when the weather is nice and walk around and take in the scenery and people watch (meter maid, if you're seeing this, call me. lol) but I'm wondering about the consistency of new and fun places to check out aside from the usual stops of Bueno y Sanos and the coffee shop that hosts game nights. Also is that deli in Easthampton with the sandwiches still operating? Just trying to find fun shops to go to since there's no more nightlife it seems. Thanks!

How come John never turns on his screen during the video podcasts?

Got into this channel with the Raw syncs but for whatever reason, this guy just leaves his avatar running the entire time.

What are some things wrestlers and companies tried out then abandoned after a couple of weeks or so?

Example: Mick Foley's infamous "grittier" third hour of Raw where they dimmed the lights. A more recent example was that one time on SmackDown two guys were doing a promo with one in the ring and another on the stage and they did a really weird left and right positioning of both where they faded into each other. (Anyone know what I'm talking about there because I forget??)
