I wouldn't say it is a rich man's sport but you have to be committed to it. Last time I saw skates will run you around $200 plus, pads all together are probably like $300-400. Sticks are $50 to a couple hundred dollars.

My dad and I were talking about how tough it'd be to have inner city kids be able to play hockey because of the cost of hockey equipment and rink time.

I also think he might become an Islanders fan.

Why do you think Basketball is so popular in the inner city? Cuz all you need is a ball and anything to act as the basket.

Waifu time.

She has blue in her hair, too! AJ is cool too. I don't really like the Bellas Apparently AJ irl plays games and is a huge geek, according to her twitter.
I think the Bella's are hot in that porn star kind of way. But I don't have particularly strong feelings about them as wrasslers.

If they were like the Usos and dressed the same that'd be annoying to figure out.
"Redefine what it means to be a female role models"
Hasn't Paige's gimmick been that she will sometimes just randomly sexually harass her opponents?

YEAH LIKE WITH AJ

Ew wrestling.

What games are you all playing?

Evolve as soon as Wrestlemania finishes. Probably listen to the podcast while playing it, too.
So wait, that's it? Who keeps the title? Who was ever going to get it?! Do they share?!

No they did the title match the other day. Yeah, weird. I know.
So the title just wasn't defended at wrestlemania? The fuck?
Its weird how hard they've been pushing this women's tag team concept when there isn't even a women's tag team championship
This match was basically pointless :( I really like Paige and AJ, too.
 
I just realised clocks went forward here so there's no new video yet. It'll be up in 2 minutes, yay.

Also I can't see Mechaweek 3 happening today ;-;
Mainly because they're going to want the Bloodborne LP front and center.
WHICH SUCKS, SPOILER DODGING

Bloodborne and Bloodborne followed by some Bloodborne. I've actually got a decent backlog at the minute of Resident Evil Rev 2, GoT Ep 3, Shadow Warrior and The Wolf Among Us.

Its my birthday in a few weeks so I was asking my sister to buy me Yakuza Zero for it. I need it.

Good, Mechaweek was fun for about a week.

Baseball also has a big prohibitive cost attached to it. If I didn't get donated equipment when I was a kid, I'd probably wouldn't have been able to pay.

But Baseball is popular in the inner city. We were curious why hockey didn't take off like the Mighty Ducks implied.

Ew wrestling.

Also did Dok finish the strip club story? Did he get beat up by a bouncer?

I got a free lap dance SHITLORD :)

But I lost my Swiss Army pocketknife.
 
So to take the stress off of all the school work I've been needing to catch up on, I decided to revisit ZOE 2 since I had the HD collection around, and the games that were featured on Mechaweek were still on the brain.

I still admire that game's camera work when the player gets into melee combat with an enemy, but after playing so much Another Century's Episode 2 & 3, I noticed way more things that are lacking in that game. Game speed and boosting just is just not as fast, especially the latter not making the speed increase readily noticeable. The camera outside of lock on is a pain to deal with as well, especially with the only way to recenter it being to stop moving.

Though the bigger issues still are just the way sub weapons are handled and the lack of a good means of between transitioning between ranged and melee combat. The former is handled better in ACE or Virtual On as you have multiple attacks for different ranges that are all immediately accessible without having to pause the action or stop moving. For the latter, the problems with the dash factor into as it not only doesn't cover an acceptable amount of distance during long range, but none of the attacks you can do while dashing help to transition to one form or the other. Like, imagine if Dante never had Stinger at all in Devil May Cry, no means to quickly go from standing at a distance to up close with the enemy. It's like that, and the Vic Viper fight, while neat, compounds this problem super hard because he's almost always moving away from you. And before someone says Zero Shift, it being a sub weapon doesn't help it as you still need to cycle through a list to get to it, and it doesn't solve the problem in an elegant manner.

And that's just the game design issues, not counting the uneven scenario quality and pacing. But since I skipped all the cutscenes I only had to spend 3 hours with the game. The final third starting with the raid on the armada to the end of the game still kicks ass though, ain't no changing that. Was still fun in the end. But "least overrated game of all time" is QUITE a fucking stretch.
