This for sure. I think it beats everything else we've had so far. Though, I did really like the first Rollins match other than the finish.

I ended up getting a subscription to digital Shonen Jump after the scans of MHA I was reading turned into scanlations. The verbiage and terminology was so skewed from what I was used to that I paid just to get the official translations. I do keep up with AOT and Dr. Stone through scanlations, which I get through Manga Rock, but that's because I downloaded the app before they had the big change over. Pretty sure it's a pay service if you download it now. As for where the translations came from? It seems like the recent stuff is all over the place. I used to use the site Manganelo.com, but it's been so long that I don't know if they're still getting proper new scanlations of noteworthy series.

I thought it was a really well-booked match with well-timed drama, good spots, and being able to tell a story and give a compelling match without relying on high spots. But different strokes, I guess.

Best ever? I'm not sure about that. But I definitely didn't think it was a snoozefest.

Worlds Collide 1???. Undisputed 2. Rhea 3. Finn 4. Garza 5. Moustache Mountain 6. ?KLR B1. No B2. Gargano B3. ?Barthel B4. Devlin B5. Over Royal Rumble 1.? ?Roman 2. Charlotte 3. ?Wyatt 4. Becky 5.

I just realized World's Collide has probably already started. If you have to discount the guesses, I understand

Oh, thank god. I hope this is true, because the other person, looking back, didn't even give a source.

Apparently the second show is going to be something in addition to Dark. Bad idea, if you ask me.

1.) :snes: Super Mario? World 2.) Hollow Knight (99%)? 3.) Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (100%) 4.) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? (200.6?%) 5.) Shenmue 6.) Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope 7.) Shenmue II One of the gifts I got for Christmas(given the weekend before the holiday) was Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. Comes with all the DLC. I've been wanting to play this for quite some time, but never pulled the trigger on actually spending money on it. Man, was I missing out. It's one of the most original nostalgia pieces I've ever played. It's like someone took Mega Man, Ducktales, and Adventures of Link and mashed them into one game. The level designs are clever and tricky, the gameplay is addicting, and the music is phenomenal. I only beat the main campaign and have only started up as Plague Knight(one of the DLC characters), but since that's how the game originally came out, I feel like that counts enough as a completed game. I still have feats to accomplish that involve playing through a second time, but otherwise I 100%'ed the playthrough. I'll do another completed game update when I finish all of the DLC. SHENMUE II. Holy shit, what a fun game. Improves on a lot of complaints I had with the first one. Surprisingly, the acting is better just enough to make most of the dialogue feel alive, which I think is also due to a big improvement in the dialogue itself. The cast of characters is more colorful, and the general vibe of the plot just feels more fun and engaging than the original. Hong Kong feels huge, and there is plenty more to do to pass the time in the game. Having time skips was a brilliant move, and I like that you can actually earn money from the capsule toys. I felt there were a lot more QTE's and little mini-games throughout. While the ending was yet another cliff-hanger, it felt more bombastic and satisfying than the first one. Even after the third time playing it, after all these years, I still find myself ending Shenmue I with a thought of, "That's it?!" The sequel didn't leave me feeling like that, and in fact, I'd argue it was almost too long of an ending: Minor spoilers I did feel like there were not enough part-time job options(the lucky hit job bloooooows), and the gambling felt almost impossible to credibly make money without resorting to saving and resetting when you lose. I think the increased amount of QTE's made a few of them very plain and suffering from repetitiveness compared to the supreme originality of each one in the first. Also, while mastering moves technically became quicker and easier, removing the option to train freely without gaming the system was a mistake. Other than these complaints, I had a blast with a game, and mostly feel it as an improvement on the first one, especially from a plot-perspective. I got all the trophies but three. One I can get just by playing the beginning again, and one I should be able to do within an hour of loading up a specific save file. But one of them will require pretty much playing the whole game again, and I'm not quite ready for that. Shenmue III was on the docket to be played next, buuuuut I ended up getting Death Stranding as a post-Christmas gift, so that might have to wait.

I'm interested in that Madoka Magical side story, and I caught a glimpse of that Darwin's Game concept that seems kinda interesting. But other than ongoing stuff, I don't really know what any of that is or whether k should be hype for it. I'll probably just take my opportunity to burn through Demon Slayer and a couple other series I've been looking to start up. I kinda want to watch The Promised Neverland, but part of me wants to get the manga experience instead.

MSG House Show Spoiler(Doesn't matter, but just in case):

Eh, I liked The Ascension when the shitty dude who used to date Charlotte was there. I always liked Viktor, but felt they never really clicked as a team. I honestly think had their been an actual tag division while they were champs, they wouldn't have been praised as much. Then again, maybe if they had actual competition, they would have been pushed to better matches.

AEW is off next week and the Homecoming show is on the 1st. Not sure about NXT, though.

Rocking through Shenmue II now. Having the free time from both work and school this week has helped out. I've been stuck working on a paper for the most part since the late afternoon today, but I plan on putting in as many hours as possible tomorrow night. So far, I think I'm liking it more than the first one, but I have some gripes that I'm waiting to see how the rest of the game develops before making a full judgment on them.

That's something I thought I'd never see. I didn't think there was enough love for RE: 3 to make it happen. Personally, I'd be more interested in a Code Veronica remake, but still pretty cool.

1.) :snes: Super Mario? World 2.) Hollow Knight (99%)? 3.) Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (100%) 4.) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? (200.6?%) 5.) Shenmue Finally beat this for the third or so time in my life. I started it quite a while ago when it first came out, didn't touch it for a few months, then basically blitzed through it in the last two weeks when I had free time to prepare for Shenmue III. This game still carries a lot of nostalgia for me, but I think the age really comes through on this game. The dialogue is pretty awful, both the writing and the acting, and while that's part of the charm, having started II now, I can already tell there's been a stark improvement. The controls were occasionally frustrating, but that's tank style for you. I also think the amount of times you're forced to wait for a whole day to pass is annoying. There are things to do, but not enough that you don't want to time skip sometimes. That said, I still love this game, and it was pretty revolutionary for it's time. I think I'll find myself appreciating II a lot more already from the few hours I played, but this game will always have a special place in my heart. It just doesn't really have much replay value the third time through. It feels a bit more like a slog. An mostly enjoyable slog, but a slog nonetheless.

Happy for all of them, especially Harper. They'll get more satisfaction elsewhere. Harper in particular could find himself in a great position outside WWE. And I think Sin Cara/Hunico has a lot to offer at least ring-wise. I don't think Ascension will do much of worth, though.

Hell of a live show. I had such a blast. I was actually super close for my main seats. Almost directly across from the entrance and only about 10 rows behind, just above the floor seats. Tickets were only 20 bucks, but I think that's because the long camera was right in front of us and got in the way of the action occasionally. It didn't detract from the experience at all. Haven't watched on TV, but I think the only bad part of the show was that Nightmare Collective bit. The execution was a bit forced, the crowd was mostly confused, and the crowd chanted, "What just happened?" at the end of it, which I assume was during the commercial break. The most confusing thing about that segment to me was the fact that they seemed to completely forget about Kris and Shida, and they both just...disappeared, with no real circumstances surrounding it. Other than that, the show was a blast. I see the broadcast had audio issues, but the crowd was hot as hell for the opening match and Rey Fenix. I think the best moment for me came before the main event. I had some friends from out of town who had farther back seats with a lot of empty spots, so I went to sit with them for the middle portion of the show. But I wanted to close for Moxley. Well, I started heading back to my seat for the main event, but a bunch of people were gathered around the entrance to my seating area. Turns out that was where Mox was making his entrance, so I got to watch him hype himself up in the hallway, then follow roughly behind him for his entrance. Fucking badass. I'll try to post pics/videos later

Tonight's the show I'll be at. What a card planned so far, too: Dustin/Young Bucks vs. The Inner Circle(Sammy and PnP) Trent vs. Fenix Christopher Daniels vs. Pentagon, Jr. Jon Moxley vs. Joey Janela Should be hype tonight. I'm excited to go to a big-time event that isn't WWE/NXT for the first time since Halloween Havoc 2000.

I've been trying to blaze through Shenmue the last few days since I just got my download code for Shenmue III. The idea is to finish II over the winter break so I can get down on the new one.

Haven't finished the whole show yet, but this was actually a pretty "meh" episode of Dynamite for the first half.

About to throw in my picks for SS now since none of the predicted matches have happened yet. I'd be fine with just not qualifying for the point on that question instead of nullifying it altogether. 1. Lesnar 2. Becky 3. Undisputed 4. Team NXT 5. Team NXT 6. AJ Styles 7. Wyatt 8. Adam Cole B1. n/a B2. n/a B3. Pipe B4. Baszler B5. 1 B6. 2

1?.?? ???Shayna and Co. 2. ?Ciampa and Co. 3. ?Finn Balor 4. ?Pete Dunne 5. Swerve B1. Gargano B2. ??Dain B3. Yea B4.Ripley B5. Ciampa

I'm actually gonna be at Takeover tonight. Not quite as hype a card as the last Takeover in Chicago, but I'm still pumped to finally see Finn in NXT. Plus, first Wargames match, so that's dope. My predictions will be up soon.

Have you ever listened to Kendrick? Musically they're not quite similar, but they have the same general attitude. Both have some outside-the-box ideas and a deeper, more poetic content. You might like J Cole, too.
