Gaming side needs to learn how to handle disappointment like we manage to do

They've been force fed disappointment for years, and they've failed to develop the same type of resistance. If anything, they've only developed a taste for it. They feed on it; it's like they're almost enjoying their anger.

I'll take Schiavonne and Heenan over HBK and Vince any day of the week.

And Bret's such a piece of shit in this match. He comes out and attacks Owen when he's about to win the title fair and square. If you wanted revenge why not just do it at the start?

I'm going to laugh pretty hard when 'games journalism' is wiped out because youtube kids will do it cheaper and most the journalists just act like cheerleaders for the companies that are replacing them.

I've been more entertained watching Cosmo stream Castlevania 64 tonight than any professionally produced games 'media'. Mostly because, unlike journalists, he doesn't have complete disdain for his audience.

Careful there Dragon.

Remember when Gary Whitta was on Giant Bomb telling people to stop acting entitled and then he was complaining about not getting a Mass EFfect 3 Collectors Edition

and then Bioware got him one on Twitter.

he did? LOLlolololol.

So that means if you are anyone in the industry, even a writer, you can just complain to the company and get free stuff whenever you want?

That's something.

So not worth it
Best worst parts about gaming side?

1. When they hype themselves up beyond belief for certain games and end up dissapointed because the game can never match their expectations.
2. When people say they want a third party game to go multiplatform (like Persona 5 coming out for Xbox or Nintendo) and people go insane over it claiming it's a "Sony game".
 
I'd rather have people hyped than WAH I HATE ALL GAMES ALL MODERN GAMES ARE FOR BABBY
That sounds like somebody on gaming side for christ's sake! Get it together! All of you! You're making me scared for the future of video game entertainment.

Thank god we still have Vince or else sports entertainment would be in the same hell hole. Then you'd have Dave Meltzer going crazy on twitter talking about it's going to ruin his livelyhood.

Yup. Course that isn't just for games cause it's kinda for movies and just about anything else.


the 2nd one is definitely true.

I can't call them marks cause they're not just that, they're beyond that. They invented a new kind of mark, a super mark.

or just dorks as I call them.

Aiii how come you never accepted my friend request in Hearthstone?! Does this mean we are not friends?

Also, I want everyone to be able to enjoy Persona 5. Except if it's on the 3DS I'M GONNA BE MAD. For like two seconds and then still get the game
 
I hated when Gaming side became more about people than products. There is more threads about people (Adam Boyes, Larry Hyrb, Hideki Fucking Kamiya, Shuhei Yoshida), and 20 page discussions on some fools 140 character Twitter comment than intresting talk about actual games :/

Fuck people!

I just don't like supporting people who hate the majority of their audience.

It's why I don't get why people support Brad Shoemaker. And yeah, the 'celebritization' I just made a word up, is the weirdest part of the games industry. Like, who fucking cares, dude.

I'm with Keyser here. It's sad what's become of the way things are now.

You can say that about the so called casuals is that at least they only give a shit about the games, even if it's angry birds or call of duty or portal or whatever.
 
I like GB too - one of the only sites I bother to visit for gaming content.

The reason I like them though is they seem pretty normal - regular guys without an agenda talking about games. Everyone else (PARTICULARLY POLYGON) seems to be making a video, article, or tweet, with some self promoting agenda behind it.

Site's generally too negative about games for me to enjoy anymore, honestly. I've got enough of that on Gaf.

You can say that much for wrestling fans. If we hate something from a year ago, we hate it a year later. If we like something from a year ago, we like it a year later.

Yep, seems like the beta is region locked. Well that's just GREAT!

I dunno man, Vinny always makes games seem better. Even really bad ones!

Ok Dragon, I'm out of the loop on a ton of new shit with this new generation. Including companies and gaming news sites.

anyone else want to join me in making a nWo in gaming industry.


We're going to go to review events unannounced and stand around. We'll say we bought our tickets just like the other people there. When they're about to talk on the mics we'll take the mics and say "SO THIS IS WHERE THE BIG BOYS REVIEW HUH? LOOK AT THE ADJECTIVE REVIEW"


and we'll totally do vine videos in black and white.

But who would play the role of Hollywood Hulk Hogan? It's gotta be a man from the inside.

"Should we expect Sora to be in the new Kingdom Hearts, Dave?"
"I don't know! I mean I guess he should, right?"
All right. That idea is just too good. I'll get in contact with Dave right away about switching industries.
 
AJPW held a show at Ryogoku Kokugikan today, it was supposedly another awful attendance for them, but they apparently were unable or unwilling to back out of the booking.

Terry Funk & Dory Funk Jr. made their All Japan returns, wrestling Osamu Nishimura & Masanobu Fuchi to a 20 minute time limit draw! The combined age of all 4 men? Two hundred and forty two years.

Lastly, they debuted the new All Japan 'Triple Crown' Championship that will replace the ageing (yet historic) original belts that make up the Triple Crown; the NWA UN Title, the PWF Heavyweight Title and the NWA International Heavyweight Title;

In the main event
Akebono defeated Suwama to become the new Triple Crown Champion
!

Incidentally, I hear Paul London vs Roderick Strong from the ROH tapings last night was an easy MOTYC.

*edit, recent NOAH matches that may be of interest;

08/24; Shinsuke Nakamaura & Naomichi Marufuji vs KENTA & Takashi Sugiura
09/07; Jushin 'Thunder' Liger vs Daisuke Harada
09/07; KENTA (c) vs Shane Haste
10/26; Zack Sabre Jr. vs Super Crazy vs Eddie Edwards
10/26; Takashi Sugiura vs Yuji Nagata

I think video games are pretty amazing, I was playing a video game last night and I said to myself "Wow this is a video game." I just hope I can capture what makes the video game so great into a video about the video game, much like someone would capture a Pokémon. But unlike Pokémon which is a video game, video games don't need to be captured, unless you're making a video about a video game. Or something to do with journalism.

I'm watching Cool As Ice. This movie is the 90sest movie ever. This movie makes Space Jam look modern.

The Rifftrax are helping though.

Adam Sessler is #legitshook

I'm reading that thread and laughing my fucking ass off. Sessler is such a drama queen. He had his fucking wife tweeting for him because of how legit shook he was?! Seriously?! Get the fuck out of here, get a real job.

I want a real job. :(
