Vic Boss

The Captain Tsubasa 2018 adaptation just ended. FUCK, that show was so hype, easily one of my fav shonen rivalries of all time. I'm low-key hoping that David Production continues it even if it's probably not in the cards (was a light-novel adaptation instead of the manga, and it was done specifically for World Cup season last year)

I took Peace Walker because it was my favourite to play, but if the wind was blowing another way I also might've taken 2 because I thought that was the best combo of gameplay and story. I took 3 as my least favourite because I didn't think it had good gameplay. Too many tiny systems that affected the gameplay to keep track of My choices are only out of MGS1/2/3 and PW, haven't played the rest

I just now got the Wrestle MAN ia pun They should def pull a Wrestle Kingdom and hold half of Wrestlemania on Saturday and half on Sunday. Show felt fine to me watching in two sittings and didn't really have much to complain about beyond the crowd dying because how long the show was

Made it to the end of Bryan/Kofi but I'm way too tired/bedtime now Really good show so far, though. Pacing's pretty good, nothing overstays its welcome and nothing wrong with the results

The tricky thing about video games is that not everyone will play the same game for the same reason, and forcing the player to play the game how you specifically want it to be played narrows down how many people are going to keep playing it. If I'm into a game's story, then being stopped by gameplay is the most aggravating and least fun thing the game can do, because story to me is not the reward for good gameplay and that's what high difficulty turns it into. I want to see what happens next, stop getting my way etc If I'm into the gameplay or even feel like I accomplish something in the game, then higher difficulty is fine (ex: I don't think I ever had fun playing the Last of Us even when I beat it on hard mode, but it felt do-able after beating it on easy and I wanted my trophy statistics to look better than beating it on Easy looked). I did beat Dark Souls and did experience the "OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK." I killed the giant wolf a lot earlier than I should've due to learning the pattern and executing, shit was heart-pounding, but when I look back at it (Ddrat, da-da-da-um-da), all the hours of stress didn't feel worth the 30ish minutes of feeling accomplished at the end of it because dying in an open world like that was so punishing (I probably "quit" at least 20 times not counting Ornstein and Smough).

Absolutely should have easy modes. There's nothing more ruinous to your enjoyment of a game than not being able to progress past a certain point.

Jay/Okada is the only match from the G1 Supercard I really loved. A few others I liked. RoH held the show down, they feel more behind-the-times than WWE does. The audio was really bad, RoH-TV levels of bad. I think the western expansion when it comes to America hit the wall once Kenny left, I'd prefer they scale it back to a few California shows per year. UK is different because Rev Pro seems to utilize the roster pretty well and ZSJ is being put massively over, though I dunno how well that plays to the UK indie base.

I think G1's a 5 or 6 hour show :x Though most of the first hour is the Honor Rumble and that's a super-terrible match, like "worst match of the year" potential, only thing worth seeing is Liger making his entrance because Liger in MSG ;_;, and I guess sorta Suzuki (overdubbed Kaze ni Nare ) and Colt Cabana and

I plan to watch every match (and also every G1 Supercard match, and hopefully every Josh Barnett's Bloodsport match) so it'll probably over 12 goddamn hours by the time I'm done Also for this year, not watching all at once. I'm taking breaks and letting shit breathe this year and going back to it later instead of trying to force all the way through and getting burned out by the time the show hits the halfway point. This year's Mania does feel bigger than it normally does. Ronda, Women main eventing, Batista coming back, Kofi finally winning the big one (Oh god, I jinxed it), Joe's Mania debut, Demon Balor, Roman back from cancer, Kurt's retirement and possibly Hunter's, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. The Kofi match is the one where I care about the result, so that's my personal draw. I imagine Ronda or Batista are the mainstream draws, and probably Ronda by a lot. The rest, I'm just hoping for a good match and/or time to have a good match (I feel like the tag teams are going to get piss-breaked in a huge way)

I know this stuff came after, but it felt like a combination of chill fun/comedy like Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid mixed with a dash of Ancient Magus Bride. I can definitely use this kind of slice-of-life in my seasonal watch-list

Shawshank, great movie. I did vote The Shining because I'm pretty sure I've seen the entirety of the movie, just not all in one sitting.

I like the first episode of Kimetsu no Yaiba. Outro makes it look like it's a mash-up of Dororo, Bleach and Tokyo Ghoul (but who knows if it's as good as any of those)

God, there's no better day in wrestling than a Takeover ?

Strowman makes everything scary. Also helps that he's booked like a giant child anyways

And AXS TV though it's not live (I think they're close now, though).

Doom Patrol Ep 1 and 2 Ep 1 was about what I expected after they were introduced in Titans. Ep 2 went full Grant Morrison pretentious (even mentioned him by name) but it also had a sense of humour about it. This shit was amazing.

Their debut show is May 25th, this youtube channel has backstage build-up for it There's rumours they'll be getting a significant TV deal at some point but if they have one, they're not revealing it for now

S7E7 Awriiiight, liked that better than Season 6, even if all they did was have all the A and B characters meet up and do all their secret handshakes while winking at the audience and then fucked around with a few C characters just to try to make up for it. I can appreciate a build-up to the main event

S7E6

S7E5 HOLY SHIT

Poor Luke Harper

Aight guys, win Kofi the WWE Title, get yourselves fired, then go to AEW and feud with the Young Bucks

If you're not watching it, you should be. Go in blind if you can. There's one ep left in the season and it's probably going to continue eventually. Episode 11

S7E4

Aight, catching up on Season 7 S7E3
