God, the fucking animation quality on JuJutsu Kaisen

New Purchases: None! Playing: Marvel's Spider-Man GOTY Edition Mostly fun, the combat feels a little less refined than the PS3-era Arkham games did with something similar, but I just may not be used to the flow and the amount of options in combat yet. The web-slinging is fantastic and I've got my Scarlet Spider costume going . I like how quick the completion percentage is rising too, I've had a few "just one more" moments turn into an extra hour so playing it. Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride :nes: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light I think I hit Chapter 14 but I've put this one on hold. Beating a few PS4 digital games to open up more hard drive space while we're on unlimited internet. Other Gaming Thoughts: Nothing in particular right now

1) God of War (2018/Platinum/98ish%) 2) Marvel's Spider-Man GOTY Edition (Platinum/100%/100%ed DLC) 3) Spyro The Dragon Reignited (Platinum) 4) Assassin's Creed Liberation HD Remastered (Platinum) 5) Spyro Reignited 2: Ripto's Rage (Platinum/Only 100%) 6) Spyro Reignited 3: Year of the Dragon (Platinum/Only 80%) 7) Genshin Impact (100% Trophy List) 8 ) :nes: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (35ish hours) 9) Mario 3D World (380 Stars/All Normal Stamps/Mario Stamp) You have the beat every level 5 times to fully 100% the game, I don't have the patience to do it all right now, so I'm gonna hit up Bowser's Fury next and then maybe come back to this after. As usual for 3D Mario games, I was killed by the camera/misjudging perspective way more than I was by anything else. Game's pretty easy For the most part. This style was okay for a 3DS game but I think with hindsight it was a mistake to try to use it as a signature 3D Mario game for the Wii U. 3D Mario's gotta be an event and a magical feeling world or universe, this was pretty uninspired especially coming off of playing 3D All-Stars not that long ago. Almost controls like a dream, I swear the roll is designed to make you accidentally die all the time from pressing the dash button and jump button at the wrong time rather than being useful.

Mario Golf is serious goddamn business Pyra and Mythra actually got me interested in buying the second Season Pass eventually for them sweet sweet spirits No More Heroes 3 and Skyward Sword are buy-on-sale games for me Ninja Gaiden collection looks cool as f but I'll get it on PS4 for the trophs Legend of Mana remake looked cool as f too but maybe I should play the collection first Triangle Strategy/Fire Emblem: Three More Houses looks really good but I haven't even gotten to Octopath yet (which is still a full-price game, goddamn) Splatoon 3 might be cool shit. TBH I'm okay with the light schedule going forward, it means I can hopefully finish off my 3DS collection during an Atlus sale

Wuh oh, Naito's hurt his knee. He was still walking seemingly fine, so hopefully it's just bad enough to stay off of it until Castle Attack and not something that keeps him out

164 God damn, this is speeding along and it's HYPE

1) God of War (2018/Platinum/98ish%) 2) Marvel's Spider-Man GOTY Edition (Platinum/100%/100%ed DLC) 3) Spyro The Dragon Reignited (Platinum) 4) Assassin's Creed Liberation HD Remastered (Platinum) 5) Spyro Reignited 2: Ripto's Rage (Platinum/Only 100%) 6) Spyro Reignited 3: Year of the Dragon (Platinum/Only 80%) 7) Genshin Impact (100% Trophy List) 8 ) :nes: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (35ish hours) Yeah, neeeeever would've beaten this without save states/turn rewind. So many future QOL features that I badly missed. Super happy I got this one on my completion list, though. I've now beaten two of the three versions of Shadow Dragon (now just release the third one, Nintendo)

I just didn't buy her style of parenting because Belters seem less the type of "What are your feelings on this issue, son?" and more the type of "Oh, you wanna talk shit to me? *takes off sandal and starts whipping his ass with it* There's a few times where I was like "Nah, she would've at least slapped him right there."

1) God of War (2018/Platinum/98ish%) 2) Marvel's Spider-Man GOTY Edition (Platinum/100%/100%ed DLC) 3) Spyro The Dragon Reignited (Platinum) 4) Assassin's Creed Liberation HD Remastered (Platinum) 5) Spyro Reignited 2: Ripto's Rage (Platinum/Only 100%) 6) Spyro Reignited 3: Year of the Dragon (Platinum/Only 80%) 7) Genshin Impact (100% Trophy List) Popped the 6th Character Ascension and 6th Weapon Ascension trophy today. Whether I keep playing this or not is up to the next update. The last big update made you redownload the entire game and one of the next ones is introducing the third major area so if they do that again, I'm probably not bothering. So far it seems unlikely that more trophies are on the way, both the major update that finished off the second area's storyline and the update that added the Dragonspine Mountains to the first area didn't add trophies. The last indicator will be when they add the third area, Inazuma, maybe in the next update. Otherwise, very fun BOTW style game, the gacha elements never felt obnoxious to me (I haven't spent money at all and they give you a ton of ways to earn things, though I've had a crazy-lucky time with the amount of 5-star rolls and 4-star chars I've unlocked), the combat becomes a bit of a drag if you're not properly leveling everything and don't have a 5-star or two in your party. I'd like to get into the lore more but there was a problem awhile ago with not being able to scroll in lore entries and then on some updates it re-lists stuff you've already read as unread so I dunno about doing more of that. I never felt bottle-necked despite it being a free-to-play game, the updates are spaced out enough that you'll finish most of the content and then have a few weeks to just fuck around and gather materials while doing daily quests to level your chars a bit.

The Jumbo vs Tenryu 5-star match is one of my fav matches. I tried getting into AJPW stuff back in the mid '00s (I think a few 5-star matches and a "History of the Triple Crown) but for whatever reason I had a hard time getting into the four lords. Jumbo was super-easy to get into though. I do mean to go back and watch AJPW and offshoots (SWS, WAR, FMW, NOAH, Wrestle-1 I think?) starting in 1972 whenever I'm finished with New Japan and offshoots (UWF, PWFG, UWFi, maybe Kingdom, RINGs, maybe Pancrase, maybe Zero-1) but who knows when that'll be. I left if in the mid to late '80s on NJPW.

Oh ye, btw I have this book too, but I haven't touched it yet because I meant to read along with Tokyo Dome events whenever I got to them in my Jap wrestling rewatches... which aren't done as regularly as I'd like

A new young lion debuted at the Castle Attack show today. In the first minute or so, dude fucked up his arm while grappling with Uemura

Shiozaki/Mutoh had at least two "OH SHIT" moments and then quite the ending

little birdy has entered the anime

EARTH DOESN'T USE MONEY HOLY SHIT I'M MAD Raffi's living in a hovel pretending like she's been banished to poor-land when EARTH DOESN'T USE MONEY SHE'S CHOOSING TO LIVE LIKE THIS and then pilot-guy is all "Hurr durrr I'm expensive" but he's operating on Earth which DOESN'T USE MONEY SO WHY WOULD A FOR-HIRE EVEN BE THERE. I literally turned my brain off so I'd stop comic-book guy'ing it but I can't stupid myself down enough to let slips in the basic setting like this go by. I hate everything new and wish they'd stop injecting stupid young-people shit into. THEY TURNED ME INTO A FUCKING BOOMER

Normally in January we get the joint CMLL Fantasticamania tour leading into the New Beginning and then NJPW Cup. Fantasticamania didn't happen this year because of pandemic, so we got the New Beginning tour early and now we're moving into the Castle Attack Tour leading into Osaka-Jo Hall and then the New Japan Cup. They've also been rotating the foreign guys in and out. My pet theory is that Gedo is getting double-whammied, he has to awkwardly stretch out one tour's plans across two tours and account for foreign wrestlers being rotated in and out for parts of tours. We're getting 30 minute draws on Road-To shows, DQ finishes in multiple feuds, a lot of interference in matches, even had an Okada/Yano vs EVIL/Dick Togo match get thrown out for a count-out, and then restarted as an EVIL vs Okada singles match, which in turn was thrown out by DQ because Togo came back and jumped into the ring... all to lead to an officially signed EVIL vs Okada singles match. I also don't think the Forbidden Door has anything to do with it. To get into Japan you have to stay in a hotel room for two weeks and Tony Khan's not gonna have his top guys miss 4-6 weeks of TV just to send them over for tours or 2 weeks for a big show, and NJPW has been rotating their own foreign guys in and out anyways, they don't need someone else's. The AEW stuff is mostly for NJPW Strong as far as has been reported so far.

oh, btw, Yuru Camp is the comfiest thing to ever exist

JuJutsu Kaisen 18 The old man's power

It's near the end of the video but holy-fucking-shit at Kimetsu no Yaiba's numbers

Gedo's booking sure all over the place right now

"This Facility has gone 5843 days without an assimilation." Okay I lol'ed

Actually I just needed to eat lunch, back on it

Just finished Episode 1 of Picard. I'm offended as fuck tbh. Who's this sad old man in this sad old timeline with this sad old Starfleet where we pretend that JJ Abrams' Star Wars dress rehearsal is canon and actually happe- oh hey, that looks like a Borg Cube On to Episode 2. "And the replicator will ding like it was a microwave xD xD xD xD" Nope, I'm not watching any more of this today

To be fair to Taguchi, it was a bit of a given since Uemura called out Suzuki

Just finished the 5-star match, Go Shiozaki vs Takashi Sugiura from the 11.22.20 NOAH The Chronicle 20th Anniversary Show Perfect representation of what NOAH's all about. Also feel like I'm watching Shiozaki's body fall apart during his heavy-duty title reign (which weirdly mirrors Kobashi's body falling apart during his pre-Okada GOAT title reign)
