What a start!
@Dwayne, I've been pleasantly surprised overall. Most of the matches have been entertaining to watch and I go back and forth between which team I think will triumph in the end.

What a start!
Aston Villa trampled over Liverpool. I really wasn't expecting that. @Gareth The Great I think many of Everton's fans are calling for Pickford to be replaced. He's a strange one. Sometimes he's perfection and sometimes he really blows it. It's a bit unpredictable.

Music you discovered through gaming
I discovered AFI through the Madden. I'm usually more of a hard rock guy and wouldn't have found their music had it not been for that.

The popularity of gaming
That's interesting news to hear. Gaming has become more affordable since they started up with some subscription models, much like Netflix and Spotify. Perhaps that and the pandemic are the driving forces here.

All the browser tabs
I launch three different web browsers at the same time because it helps me stay organized with work. Plus, I'm a workaholic, so I always have things up and running. I can't imagine needing 82 pieces of information though and that's about what a new tab is for you from what you've described. Just more information.

Most complicated game
I go back and forth on this one. Maybe games are designed to be easier now or maybe our skills have improved with age and practice, so they're just easier for us to beat. I'm not sure. Anyway, the most complicated game for me as an adult was Breath of the Wild on Switch. You just kind of had to figure it out as you went.

Kiss, Beatles, and?
I know of two bands where every member was capable of writing the music and handling the vocals. The two bands are Kiss and The Beatles. Can you think of any others?

Mother Nature is crazy
It does. You can even do a similar experiment to see how it works. Fill a milk jug with water, freeze it, set it in front of a fan, turn the fan on, the air in front of the fan will feel cooler with the ice than without it. You can see the condensation gather in a puddle at the bottom and once the jug has warmed up, it will no longer have an effect at all. Global warming causes the polar ice caps to slowly melt and evaporate, it cools the air, the air blows, it mixes with the hot extremes, and wildness ensues like hurricanes, monsoons, and major storms. Once the cooler temp has dissipated you're back to your new normal - which on average is still hotter than usual.

Nintendo Switch
From what I can tell there isn't a UK version of the game. If I buy the game from the Japanese eShop, will I be able to play it? My Switch is registered in the UK.

Hilarious article
Snarky-Guru got me to read the articles over there, and they're often fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many deep dives into wrestling and the people behind it.

New releases
I haven't really checked since I'm waiting to buy the new PS5 before getting more games. I know that I'd be tempted if I looked.

How's weather?
I sure hope that those in the path of Hurricane Isaias are okay. The weather here really hasn't been too bad, so I can't complain. It seems to get much hotter in other parts of the world. It still feels plenty hot here, though.

NBA Bubble
I don't watch basketball often since it isn't as popular as rugby or football in Wales, but I'm very curious about the NBA bubble that I keep hearing about. It's amazing that it cost so much money! There must be loads of money to be made in one season if the group invested several million US dollars in the scheme. Is the bubble working? It seems awfully restrictive, but maybe it will prove useful in other situations if it works.

Tom Hanks Is Now Greek
Did he say what prompted the big move? I think he had the coronavirus at one point. I wonder if that had anything to do with it. Cast Away got such fantastic reviews that I was persuaded to make a trip to the cinema. It was awful! The dullest film I've ever been subjected to. I suppose I'm just not highbrow enough to enjoy such artistic work because everyone else seemed to think it was a masterpiece.

AEW Discussion 2020
I thought it must be coming back and just hadn't heard about it since I don't follow the wrestling blogs. There's a lot of interesting things going on with the WWE, so anything is possible. He would have been a good fit with ECW though. I agree with @Gareth The Great, I think AEW runs the risk of taking on too many wrestlers. Rusev I can see because he's very different from anyone they have. EC3 is good, but AEW already has plenty of talented wrestlers on their roster. I bet he will end up with AEW and maybe he'll be phenomenal.
