Do we have any kind of information if NJPW World will start offering NOAH events on their service? I would imagine it's in the pipeline, but has anyone heard anything?

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Off topic - I'm glad Mortal Kombat 9 was good and Mortal Kombat X looks dope as well. As "filthy casual" as this will make me sound I'm glad we're getting some fighting games that don't require a college semester's worth of analysis in order to be competitive in.

I think MKX is actually gonna be pretty tough to pick up and play online, sooo many possible matchups thanks to the variations.

Just gonna go with my boilerplate recommendation for KI being noob friendly, simple inputs every decision is a big decision, small roster so not much to study.

MKX looks great!

Power Stone should make a comeback. It was simply. It worked. Was fun.

I'd fully support a return of Power Stone, but I doubt we'll ever see a new one again because

The new KI is also surprisingly fun. And yeah, with all of the possible matchups I'm curious how that game will turn out competitively.

I'm still waiting for them to reveal Johnny Cage. That will seriously affect whether or not I buy it.

If i go to RAW in LA on the go-home show for Mania, I promise that I will boo Reigns

Don't forget the "boo this man" sign with Rome on it

 

[BronsonLee]

If it's got "Road to..." in the title, just treat it as a house show - the only difference being Monday's show, which is from Korakuen Hall and will have commentary and be filmed with more than just a hard camera. That's the one they'll be using to hype up the New Beginning events, so it should be of a better standard. Also, Korakuen crowds are usually a step above other small venues (although today's crowd in Tokorozawa were louder than I expected).

You'd think New Japan would pay up for at least two three cameras..

Though to be fair, once you add camera switching everything gets infinitely more expensive/complicated.

One bad dreaded casket match with Kane, and everybody thinks you're bad.

I fixed that for you

 

[FlammableD]

You should follow through. XFL 4 Life

Only reason I haven't is I'm trying to gauge how shifty the store is.

No word as of yet, but if they do now own a stake in NOAH you have to think it'll happen sometime soon.

What have you guys been reading or playing lately?

Just being playing Saints Row 4 and Dying Light, which is fantastically addictive. Hits all the right notes for me. Also, I've been reading a great book about the Americas pre-Colombus which I'd definitely recommend to anyone even remotely interested in the subject; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1491:_New_Revelations_of_the_Americas_Before_Columbus

 

[lovely ladies]

One bad match with Kane, and everybody think your bad.

He looked kinda sluggish at the rumble too putting the result aside. It's a little weird because he looked fine on last week's smackdown match and that crap was against kane too, maybe he's just tired or something.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I've been playing a lot of Dungeon of the Endless. It's a super dope roguelike/tower defense. I really enjoy its aesthetic. "Space jazz" is a good kind of sound to give it. There's something about it that's really enjoyable - balancing your resources and gambling on when to move on and when to open just one more door...

That looks really good. I never can know enough about pre-colonial America, and I love to discover what I can since it's our fault (yours too) that we fucked this place up when we set foot.

 

[slightconfuse]

Been playing destiny and Dragon age

 

[Marvel]

What have you guys been reading or playing lately?

I'm too pretty to read books, however I have been killing it on Killer Instinct lately.

Taken a little break from it now though. Might get into some GTA Online or pick up where I left off on Dragon Age.

What have you guys been reading or playing lately?

I've been casually playing GTAV on my PS4, that and Hyrule Warriors.

I'm thinking about starting Resident Evil REMake tonight. But honestly I should clean up my apartment a bit because we're getting some new furniture delivered next week. My girlfriend is going to be out of town this weekend so this seems like the best opportunity for me to buckle down and get stuff done without interruptions (not that my girlfriend interrupting/distracting me from cleaning is a bad thing, I'm just a lot more productive when I'm alone).

yeahhh I've been putting off going to the native american museum next to work for too long. I'd really love to know more about this land's history. Interested in this book as well.

last book i read was about the justinian plague but that was a while ago.


I've been playing Nosgoth lately now that its open beta and easier to find games. I love asymmetrical multiplayer games like natural selection, so I'm down with this game. They've also got a lot of the lore right.

need to do REmake in under 3 hours without saving still, so many insta death points though: the boulders, lisa knocking you off the platform. has me shook.

I bought an Xbone last year for Killer Instinct only to remember I can't play fighting games on a pad and I'm not willing to shell out for a stick just to use with one game. Thus, my Xbox continues to gather dust.

A fool and his money, friends.

At least you bought your Xbone for a game that works. I bought it for Master Chief Collection.

 

[Kacho]

I've been playing Skyrim and Madden 15 lately. I try to play WWE 2K15 but the game is just so bland and uninspired. They really need to overhaul the reversal system.

 

[TheWarrior]

Upcoming cities:

3/2/15 Raw: Newark, NJ
3/3/15 SmackDown: Washington, DC
3/9/15 Raw: Pittsburgh, PA
3/23/15 Raw: Los Angeles, CA

3/29/15 WrestleMania XXXI

I'm not seeing a ton of cities that would openly revolt against Reigns.

I'll be at the Newark show

Also highlighted potential cities that may get mixed reactions for Reigns. DC may be completely negative, but it's smart of them to put that as a Smackdown show, they can just edit out the boos, it will be a packed house cheering for the Roman Empire

He should work a Roman Empire thing into what he calls his fans

The Roman Empire and his Plebs

What have you guys been reading or playing lately?

Finished Y2J's 2nd book a while back and got burnt out on reading about Fozzy. Not excited to start the 3rd book. Will probably start Death of WCW soon.

Playing NES: Remix on 3DS. Have 500+ stars. Finishing up all challenges. Not sure why i love this game so much.

I'm thinking about diving in and buying a PS4 stick for USF4 and SF5, learning how to do more than Blanka's electricity. Maybe Gr1m can teach us.

I cannot play on a stick in any game, even one with easy inputs like KI.

Not a bad problem to have, i get to save money~

Works fine for me. Haven't had a single solitary issue. I'm one of the lucky ones. God DAMN is it dense with content.

I really hate fighting the Flood.

Get UFC when it's on sale. It's better than I thought it would be, shame it'll probably be a one and done franchise.

I don't know man, the whole idea behind these invasion gimmicks is that New Japan and NOAH are fighting. If NOAH shows go on the network that kind of kills the story. I do expect some big matches between the two companies on Invasion Attack.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

I keep telling myself I want to wait on MCC until more bugs are ironed out but then I think to myself do I really want to play multiplayer? I'd just play titanfall instead prolly.

I actually wanna see H4 in full HD, I'm the problem.

A stick won't help you! I main Dhalsim with a pad. I'm living a struggle.

 

[Sephzilla]

I might drop money on a PS4 stick once USF4 and SF5 come out. I mained Fei Long for a while.

I was in the same boat as you until three patches ago. Every 343 patch since then has made it worse for me. There's absolutely no reason the game should be in the state it's in almost 4 months after launch. No way in hell I'm giving 343 any money for Halo 5 (it's easier to say that after not liking the beta).

The Flood really should have stayed confined to the first game, in my opinion. They stopped being fun encounters in the sequels.

I do kinda regret buying the Bone but damn do I love me some KI.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

KI has a mummy fighter. It's about god damn time.

KI S2 is firing on all cylinders. Love the shit out of it.

NOTE: Anakaris doesn't count, he's not fun to play as.

 

[Jimmy King]

My PS4 and Xbone have been collecting dust gaming-wise but my Xbone is a great multimedia player.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

all you boners should probably pick up sunset overdrive btw 8)

King Mo is a fan of the young bucks , u has nation,and Willie mack

 

[Sephzilla]

This. SO is FnP.

I do kind of regret buying an Xbone though. The thing gathers much more dust than my PS4 and Wii-U and when you look at the # of games I own for PS4 and Wii-U vs Xbone, that kind of speaks for itself

errgggg FUCK this match I had with a kan-ra player last night. My sadira game couldn't get in once he got a life lead and he ran the clock with dust balls. So close to ranking up again.

I don't mind using a stick but pad's my main preference even for SNK games. I just got used to it playing SNES and Genesis.

Yeah, should probably find out if I give a dang before investing hundreds of dollars in a kideo game peripheral.

Haven't turned on my PS4 since July I think. I stick with the One and Wii U for my console gaming needs. PC is still my go to for gaming right now though.

They're both poor choices, though.

The only BMX Ninja worth a damn is Reptile. And Red Ermac (MK1)

Hands down for me the best and dopest MK chara is Quan Chi. It's not even close in my eyes.

Johnny Cage is my personal favorite MK character. Reptile would be my favorite ninja character but Ed Boon finds a way to make Reptile look even less cool with each new game.

Raiden would be higher up on my list if he was constantly played by Christopher Lambert.

 

[Dick Justice]

I don't think that boos mean you need to change the competitors - you just need to change the story, their motivation. A clearly heel Reigns against Beloved God King Lesnar is a much more compelling matchup than the "Corporate Blessed" Reigns vs the "They Cheer Him But Should Be Booing Him" Lesnar.

Bork could be Mufasa, Reigns could be Scar.

 

[lovely ladies]

I've said my peace.

They should make a spinoff Stryker beat'em up or a third person shooter.

RoboCop should totally be a guest character in Mortal Kombat.

-MK universe already has cops/soldiers (Stryker, Sonya, Jax)
-MK universe already has cyborgs (Sektor, Cyrax, Smoke)

It's a logical combo
