Was watching wrestling while my daughter was doing homework. Punk came out in his typical wrestling gear with t-shirt on.

Daughter: Is he wearing thigh high boots, no pants, and a t-shirt?

Me: Oh don't worry, he's going to take the shirt off.

D: That doesn't make it any better.

Really fun, light, puzzle game. Good work!

Thanks for the nice feedback guys, didn't expect that but appreciate it. Only 2 of us worked on it so it was a grind but feedback has been good so far. Apple featured us in Europe and already had a 8/10 review from a major site so that was cool to see.

There's 2 major problems that are driving me ****ing mental right now and both are out of my control.

That ad thing is completely on the ad provider. When an ad plays we basically give them complete control and it's on them to provide a way to get back into the game, it's how it works for all of those ads on every game and it's annoying because they can pretty much do anything they want in that time frame. It's also causing a problem in endless where it's not telling the game that the ad is finished so it looks like it's frozen to the player. It's 4 am right now, working on a fix.

The other problem is that the "Remove Ads" button doesn't actually work right now because the IAP didn't get approved because one image was the wrong dimensions. We uploaded a fix which should be up soon but so frustrating since we've already got a bunch of messages about it.

There's already a kdub72? Seriously? Must have a lot of downloads already or that's a crazy coincidence. Can you tell how many downloads there's been at any time?

I could definitely see myself wasting lots of time with this -- thanks!

There is a bug that if you choose a name already in use, it won't let you continue once you change it.

The name thing is handled by Apple's gamecenter, we have nothing to do with that. It's basically their version of Xbox live or PSN.

Not only can I see that but I can also see -

How many people are playing right now
How many people come back to play
How long people are playing for and the average session time
When people quit
What country and citites people are playing in
What they're doing in the game like how many deaths, levels complete etc
What screens have the most viewers ie level screen, endless, customization etc
What device there using and a bunch of other stuff.

It's a google analytics page and I pretty much have it open the entire time I'm awake so basically....

I hate the notifications feature of the WWE App. I couldn't watch the CWC finals yesterday, so I've been avoiding all spoilers. So of course, when I turn on my iPad, the notification tells me who won the semi-finals.

Thanks, WWE.

(Yes, I just turned off their notifications).

(PS, I actually turned it off quickly enough that I didn't see who won the finals, only who won the semi-finals, so please don't spoil it here.)

This is nothing.

I clicked my bookmark to the WWE Network on my PC, it re-directed me to the WWE homepage and the first thing I saw was "21-1".

Your last quote makes me wonder about something. I'm trying to remember when was the first time Reigns starting getting **** upon by the crowds. I didn't start watching RAW again until closer to SUmmerslam of that year but I'm pretty sure he was still being cheered at that time. I do have a theory as to what made it switch, but it was poo-pooed once here, and I haven't gone back and researched myself yet

I've previously mentioned my admiration of Cris Collinsworth. I have to look the other way on occasional stupidity, because there simply isn't an announcer who never delves into at least the occasional ridiculous hot takes. As a general rule, his hot take percentage is lower than almost the entire rest of his industry, so I find it to be an acceptable rate.

However, the dude just resolutely endorsed the absurd price that Minnesota paid for Sam ****ing Bradford. There are limits to what I can ignore and forget.

Collinsworth clearly believes that Bradford is a franchise QB, and if we grant that premise, his claim isn't outlandish given the overwhelming value and scarcity of franchise QBs. Most wouldn't grant that premise (I myself don't see much separation between Bradford and Kyle Orton), but QBs doing much, much better statistically when moving to a new situation isn't unheard of.

At least with collinsworth you know there's a logical progression there so even if you totally disagree with the premise (say, Bradford is good) at least you can fathom what the other guy thinks and player evaluation isn't an exact science so whatever.

Unlike say Phil Simms.

Well yes, the premise is the problem. Obviously paying through the nose for a great QB is to be expected. But the Vikings took out a massive mortgage just for the 5-10% chance that Bradford really blossoms there after two different cities gave up on him.

If he turns out to be Rich Gannon then it will look just fine obviously, but that's a massive "if."

Yeah, and I guess in Collinsworth's defense here, Bradford isn't a totally settled matter; he's just taking (IMO) the clearly wrong side in speculating on Bradford's value.

Simms is irredeemable and I can't find a single positive thing to say about his commentary work.

I don't think the theory is that Bradford might really blossom, but rather that his supporting casts have been so absurdly bad that he actually has been good for quite some time despite the stats. Pro Football Focus (a company that Collinsworth works for) has been arguing for awhile that he is an above average QB.

Collinsworth spoke multiple times about how Bradford hadn't really had a chance to settle into a system and does have that chance now, so I did take that as an implication that at least Collinsworth thought there was potential for him to finally break through and reach the next level in Minnesota. But that was just my interpretation.

FWIW I wouldn't mind seeing Bradford succeed. He seems likable enough, and while I'm not a Minnesota fan (I'm still holding a slight grudge from the 2006 Steve Hutchinson poison pill shenanigans), they might default to being my team of choice in that division.
