And then Kane breaks the bonds of Bearer completely during '98 and the brothers of destruction are born... Only for Vince to use them against Austin from Summerslam UT V Austin 1 on 1, then the triple threat where it's a draw. So Kane V Undertaker for the WWF title and special guest ref Austin declares himself the winner to get fired.
Some people claim Deadly Games is bad, but seeing the events that lead up to it from SS '97 and all the above mentioned events, it's the best tournament ever made and was a scewjob a year in the making.
This would be great for whenever I get a computer error.

I think the weirdest thing was that last night they same soooo close to pointing out that Ziggler was top talent but then fumbled at the last second. Big Show was reminding Kane about Survivor Series and how he punched Cena because it was Best for Business, they could have taken this a step further and pointed out that Ziggler still managed to overcome the Authority at that point, so maybe Kane should address that threat by taking the match and laying down.
Or how they don't acknowledge that Cena, babyface of the company, is dating the top heel diva.
Well they never acknowledged that to begin with, but they've spent months saying how Naomi and Jimmy are married like how they spent months talking about Brie and Bryan's relationship.
Well Total Divas acknowledges Cena/Nikki. That's canon.
Is totals diva a thing in the wweverse?

Kotal Kahn is the fucking MAN.
They have the opportunity to put the IC title on Reigns. That way it'll still matter. And let's face it, Reigns with the IC title would get a better push than Bryan with the IC title anyway.
Kotal Kahn is the fucking MAN.
You're literally the first guy I've seen express anything positive about him. (I havent touched him yet). Thankfully, my main from last game hasn't been messed with too much.
Surprised how decent RAW was last night. Only part I really hated was Orton beating and going over both of the tag team champions at the same time.
Those suggesting Neville is heading on some kind of Justin Gabriel career arc are fucking insane. They are giving him a top talent treatment out of the gate, even if he's losing. Yes, that match against Ziggler was not smart booking for either guy, but how was that any different from all the other random ill-thought-out matches that the WWE loves booking on a weekly basis? People are acting as if this is a wrestling promotion that is known for proper build ups and proper match progression. I'm not really sure what show you've been watching for the past decade.
Neville has a bright future and I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the title picture at some point down the road. It's laughably early to say they've missed the boat on him.

I play for looks, not to win. He's a dope-ass dude. I wouldn't touch the MK thread with a ten foot pole - I like to keep games fun, not overanalyze. Unless it's Life is Strange. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Still so annoyed. I wish the internet never existed so I never had to find people to play SSF2 on Dreamcast. I've actually still got the same posse playing, but region locked MP is screwing us.
We could get by on PC between us maybe, but who knows right now with the PC version failing.
If it ever works properly, I'm all in with Cassie with that fatality.
You arent missing much in the MK thread.
Cassie is pretty legit.
Sub Zero in MKX feels really slow for me. I'd like to play with him a lot but god damn his freeze ball has a long ass wind up now.
WWE is fine with forgetting that Ziggler won the Survivor Series on his own. It was the spot that was always booked for Roman. It might as well have been Benoit that won that Survivor Series with the effort they have gone to completely retcon it.
lol, it isn't. It's a High Voltage Software issue. Remember the team who originally did Zone of the Enders HD and another team had to rescue it to make it playable? Same team.

Lots of missing people. I gotta admit though I really, REALLY like that NetherRealm made the women a hell of a lot more normal looking in this one and less like a crew of strippers. There was a crazy imbalance last time. Now it feels so much more accessible.
The issue is that Valve's Stream download thing isn't getting the files out to people. I don't see how this is a Netherrealm/High Voltage issue. Oh wait, Valve can do no wrong.

I'm OK with the missing characters as long as they come back after a rest. I really agree female roster wise.
You don't need to play every character every instalment. That should just mean that Sean is back in SF V.
Yeah I notice the women actually look presentable in this game. Mileena still gives me nightmares to this very day.
Oh wait, even if the streaming is 100% Valves fault, the PC netcode of both MK9 and Injustice is unplayable anyway. Shocking that.

I will say this, MKX is doing extremely well sales-wise, people are going bananas for it. Bodes well that Injustice 2 is going to have some dollars behind it.

Injustice 2 after WWE Imomortals!
Has the online netcode for PC even been properly tested yet? Last I heard the PC stuff was still in complete disarray
It's sounding good. I'm fine with the DLC sale of easy fatalities too, it is clearly just an idiot tax. WB found a great window for it to launch in.
I'll never say Valve are infallible, but if they had a say that this was the game to test the streaming feature with, they picked right. HVS have never ever done a competent port, so if this was Valves official test, they picked perfectly.

Bryan should have just retired. Forgetting the shitty Kane feud, dude went out about as high as a wrestler can, and there was no way he was ever gonna be that big again, whatever we all thought or hoped.
At the very least, he should have given himself a few months after getting cleared to get back to the gym, get back in shape, build up some muscle, etc. At this point, all this return has done is made him look like a goober.

+1 for really liking the designs for all the women in MKX. I can't find it but I could swear there was an interview boon did where someone asked him about the women's designs around when MK9 came out and he was kind of sheepish about it and was like "ahhh there were two thoughts of where to bring their designs in the office and it was put up to a vote". It was cool that they made mileena's whole personality charged with it and shit, but then you had weird stuff like sheeva feeling herself for a win pose, wtf?
maybe nrs's got a new art director?
Wish the new gen earthrealm characters weren't all bland technicool designs, though seeing Kung Jin and takeda in motion's made me a fan of both.

I don't know if I want to do an OT for this, since we're way heavy on comic books, but here's my
Fave Five Comic Book Characters
5. Magnus Robot Fighter
Enjoyed him in 90s Valiant, enjoyed his stuff from the 60s at Gold Key. Love this guy.
4. Thanos (entirely due to the Thanos Quest set of books. Amazing stuff. Loved him ever since.)
3. Death's Head
This is a dude I imagine Boots would like if he ever read his stuff. Something overwhelmingly British about him. He did some crossover stuff with Dr Who which disgusts me, but still.
2. Death's Head II
Essence of everything I was into in the 90s in one character. Incredibly fucking dumb, but sooooo awesome.

Obligatory "gaming side is weird" post.
Bloodborne, a niche PS4 exclusive game, is pacing Dark Souls 2, a niche multiplatform game, in sales. And yet there's this guy on gaming side who's claiming that if From Software retired the "Dark Souls" series it would abandon a ton of fans despite the fact that all of the evidence says most Souls fans probably jumped to PS4 anyway and that the "Souls" series doesn't need to ride the "Souls" name to success.

To have the reasoning powers of a 16-year-old. Ahh. Those were the days.
Seth-kun's heel work is hitting the level where I can't even imagine him as a face anymore. HHH was the last guy to accomplish that for me.

At this point, I think he's the best actor in pro wrestling, period. Utterly believable and he makes the cheesiest dialogue work.
You would think people who spend thousands of dollars on a high end PC who also just upgrade their video cards every year could skip a video card upgrade for one year and just buy a console.

That would require long-term intelligent booking of the IC Title. And considering they already opted to put the title on the broken-down guy who they didn't even trust to take a single bump in the wacky ladder match at WM, rather than Dean - the guy whose character spent MONTHS talking about how important that title was to him, and who's perfectly healthy - I don't see that.
I see BNB beating Bryan with some kind of dirty trick at ER, and Bryan going away for at least a few months while they figure out their options with him.

Even if you don't watch Lucha Underground, watch the Drago video. The ending is hilarious.
