I wouldn't go out of your way to do so, dude doesn't have the look, doesn't have any presence - he's not entirely terrible on the stick and seems fine in the ring, but it just isn't clicking for whatever reason. He's meant to be this tough, menacing dude, but just look at this shit;

Yeah his look is atrocious, but I like him in the ring and he's got good delivery on his promos

 

[lovely ladies]

Is it you? Did you write this?

It's a pretty legitimate stock site. I don't dabble in investments though so I have no clue how most of their hunches turn out. Their analysis seems pretty reasonable in this case.

 

[Data West]

Future rebirth as Mantaur right there.

 

[British Monsoon]

Dempsey's character is like an amalgamation of Eddie Kingston and Silas Young, with the whole 'Last of a Dying Breed' / 'Last Real Man in Wrestling' shit he's got going. But the difference is, Eddie & Silas look fucking MEAN. Eddie's a fat fucking slob from Yonkers and Silas has a porn 'stache, but the both of them back up their characters well with their mannerisms, their promos and their actions. Dempsey's a far way off their level.

Anywho, Meltzer going in hard with his praise for the G1;

"The last two nights were not just two of the best shows of the year, but they're probably two of the five best shows I've ever seen. This is the greatest tournament in pro wrestling history and it's not even a close call. Last years' was the best I'd ever seen and this year blows away last year."

 

[strobogo]

i still have to see that Bull character.

He just looks like a fat dude in a poorly fitted singlet.

Nothing can really compete with G1. It's basically a years worth of quality PPV's in one crazy 2 week package.

 

[Lambda Pie]

i hope working Nintendo marks never gets old. goddamn.

 

[lovely ladies]

Why can't he wear a leotard that only goes halfway down his body? It's weird, it's like he's wearing the Borat mankini or something.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Well damn, if "fool.com" says it's a wash then I guess that's that

I personally get all my scoopz from bomb.com, friend.

 

[Plywood]

great, now indie-flippy-spots invaded my kickboxing. thanks a lot, Bootaaay.

Low Ki took a man out like that. Very unprofessional.

Me thinks WWE and TMZ have a deal going on.

 

[Spider from Mars]

The Suburbs is an era-defining album that was so beautiful the Grammys were forced to award it album of the year - an honor to which Axl Rose has never been bestowed. Put on your paper mache head and embrace the new generation.

Brother Titus, what are your albums of the year so far? What are you feelin? I'm looking for some new shit.
My AOTY so far are
Ben Frost- Aurora
Sharon Van Etten- Are We There
Cloud Nothings - Here and Nowhere Else
Mac Demarco- Salad Days
FKA Twigs- LP1
Tobacco- Ultima ii Massage

Probably forgetting something

HEY LAMBADA

You play this yet?

 

[Lambda Pie]

i wanna see Mastiff in the WWE as Yokozuna's illegitimate soon with a brit woman.

give him the "Bellend Bomb", "Spastic Drop" and "OI MATE Suplex".

HEY LAMBADA

You play this yet?

the fuck is that?

 

[JavyOO7]

I love the exchange with Breeze and Neville in the last NXT show. Breeze saying that Neville was needed back in the set of The Hobbit while Neville telling Breeze that his mom sent a selfie to Neville. I love it, Maggle!

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

HEY LAMBADA

Fucking indie games.

 

[Rhaknar]

Time for G1 day 4 methinks. I'm hyped for it

 

[Data West]

Fucking indie games.

I have no complaints when they're not super srs 2d puzzle metroidvania dark souls-esque whatever other games the internet likes this week platformers

No idea but I knew it'd be something you'd be into.

 

[Lambda Pie]

i can tell it's PC cause of the idiotic, spastic aiming.

can't wait for all those pixel art motherfuckers fuck off and the folks who grew up with Daytona USA and House of the Dead start making indies in proper 3D.

No idea but I knew it'd be something you'd be into.

time for Lambda fact: fave five games are Daytona USA, Scud Race, Final Fight, Dead Rising and Tekken 5.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Throwing shade at Lovely Planet....

Wrestling fans need to get some culture

Best 6 dollars you will ever spend

 

[Sibersk Esto]

HEY LAMBADA

You play this yet?

So is this about your wife's soul or a metaphor on letting your daughter grow up?

 

[strobogo]

WHAT THE FUCK is up with Konnor's weird shimmying he does now? It's so fucking weird and hilarious.

 

[Gorillaz]

You play this yet?

It looks like a play on the modern man and his place in a greatly growing globalized world
Feeling very liberated just watching the gameplay,friend

I was gonna say, this sounds like some Spiders shit alright

 

[cr_blah_blah]

What a weird game for people to get their over-compensating fucky fucks cool guy on with.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

So is this about your wife's soul or a metaphor on letting your daughter grow up?

Neither, friend.

It's supposed to explore the human condition in the wake of a nuclear apocalypse.

It's a thin line though, so I don't blame you for getting it wrong.

I knew I was missing something on the random indie game theme generator

 

[Lambda Pie]

if Streets of Rage was released today it would considered a visceral allegory to the class war in San Francisco.

nerds ruin everything.

 

[Spider from Mars]

"What would Spider like to play?"
"hmmm, how bout we make a Katamari Damacy ass looking and sounding shooter?"

Nailed it

Sorry friend, but that will never happen as long as games like Limbo continue to be successful. It's a way for game journalists pat each other on the back and pretend their hobby is deeper and more progressive than it actually is. 'This game exists. It's deep because it implies it's deep without showing it in any way. The end.'

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Can you blame them? When jackasses open E3 showing off two swirling rays of light that wouldn't look out of place as a screensaver and introduce it as "a deep journey about two lost lovers trying to reunite"

 

[Vylash]

Just play good indie games like I do

 

[Data West]

Sonic the Hedgehog runs fast, but we never ask ourselves why?What are you running from Sonic? This new platformer takes an old classic and looks deeper into the psyche of Sonic as a deep plunge into the history of a troubled hedgehog looking to reunite with those he lost and dealing with the repercussions of those he's hurt.

That was so hilariously ridiculous

If Streets of Rage was released today, you guys would probably kill that too because it's 2D or something. God forbid the asking price be over $10- it's not even a real game.

The nonsense goes both ways. This is why cell phone gaming will win.

I never played Limbo all the way through, got kinda bored halfway through. Great looking game though.

I went into this G1 thinking that I'd have to keep my expectations in check since there was no way they were going to top last year's event. Boy am I happy to be wrong.

Hotline Miami is a game with bright colors, snappy controls, and amazing music like Streets of Rage, and I paid exactly 10 dollars for it.

funny thing i that you can make anything sound deep if you want.

"Street Fighter 2 is a deep look at racist stereotypes and how a military dictatorship led by someone with superpowers can unite multicultural differences for the greater good".

Can you blame them? When jackasses open E3 showing off two swirling rays of light that wouldn't look out of place as a screensaver and introduce it as "a deep journey about two lost lovers trying to reunite"

at least it was in 3D graphics. small steps, friend Esto.

small steps.

Judging games y'all ain't even played yet.

See this shit is why Sblargh left all of us. Still thinkin about you buddy, wherever you are.

Why am I not surprised that Lambda's fave five games are none that's been released within the last 8 years?

 

[bean breath]

If Streets Of Rage was released today it would be praised for its diverse cast of characters.

 

[strobogo]

I will definitely check out Bootaaaaaaaaaaaay's best of G1 list when it is all over. Maybe for the site.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I really hate this current trend of wanting video games to be presented as SAYING SOMETHING IMPORTANT, even if has nothing to do with the gameplay

Talking dumb shit about video games and wrestling > personal attacks

but maybe that's just me

If they asked you for $11 it would be some hipster ass game with hipster ass electronic music and nerdy 2D gameplay that GTA2 already did 15 years ago.

I see you.

Old GTAs aged like complete booty butt cheeks thoguh. I wish Chinatown Wars was on PC.

I think I would play that light twins game over something like Watch Dogs if I had the choice. Watch Dogs is so fucking awful.
