I love hardcore wrestling but holy shit was it oversaturated for the last 10+ years. It's not as bad as it was (as far as how many shows/matches) but most of it quality wise is fucking shit.

Being from the West Coast where it's less common, makes it more hype when a show has one rather than being a regular thing.

Hardcore can be done right.

Look at Foley/Triple H in 1999/2000. Old example I know, but hear me out.

Triple H spent his time when he came to power being a dick. Completely fucking around with the company. Everyone just put up with their shit, except for Foley. And for standing up to the bullies, Mick was disgraced and lost his job.

The entire locker room threatened to walk out unless he was reinstated. So he was and he wanted revenge. He got his match at the 2000 Royal Rumble. Street Fight. Anything goes.

If a match has the right build, it can work. Hardcore can work, but it's mostly filled with guys like Sandman. Can't do moves, can't take moves, can bleed for money.

I would recommend finding that Foley match, it's one of the best that there is.

Merry Christmas frienders. I would have said this earlier if I realized my hotel has free wifi sooner.

Oh yeah for sure. I can't stand matches where guys just throw everything at each other for 10 minutes and just shrug off everything immediately after being hit. Its the fucking worst.

 

[JooseBawcks]

Yeah OK.... There is no movies... I'll pick up the remake when I get a Vita.

Hope you enjoy it, let me know how you like the new soundtrack compared to the old one. The theater isn't much, just some higher level dungeons with small side stories

Can you see Russia from your room?

 

[misses bull]

I was talking about super smash bros to my 8 year old cousin and he said "Oh so it's like playstation all stars" and I died just a little

I know someone who thinks sony smash brothers is better then smash

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Yeah OK.... There is no movies... I'll pick up the remake when I get a Vita.

Prepare for disappointment.

 

[GlassEmpires]

Oh, duh, sorry, I'm thinking of Quantum Devil Saga, which are the books the main writer of DDS made that are her own take on the DDS story.

It was a guy that wrote Digital Devil Story, Aya Nishitani. I tried looking for a copy to read and stumbled upon the Project-H line of books available on the Kobo bookstore.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Oh yeah for sure. I can't stand matches where guys just throw everything at each other for 10 minutes and just shrug off everything immediately after being hit. Its the fucking worst.

Yeah, that's probably one of the reasons why I never got into wrestling. Hardcore looks more up my alley, but eh.

 

[demidar]

Some shounen anime have that problem as well.

Another point for wrestling = anime.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

I'm not sure. But it has started to snow.

I...I've never thought of that.

That explains everything.

I thought Yu Godai was the author of the original scenario?
Ah nevermind, Wikipedia has the answer for me

Godai was contracted by Atlus for drafting the story of Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga video game series. She left the project halfway due to health issues but held the contract right to publish her own version of the novel based on the setting of the game, which later became the Quantum Devil Saga series.

Saga = Story

I can see why people would be confused

 

[Bubbavelli]

Its kinda charming how wrong Woolie and Matt are about everything rap related in the Def Jam LP

 

[YesManKablam]

Guys, next gen is coming....

 

[DoktorEvil]

Yeah, that's probably one of the reasons why I never got into wrestling. Hardcore looks more up my alley, but eh.

ECW, for the very brief time it was relevant, was the best promo company in American wrestling.

So much so that the WCW and WWE poached talent from there under Paul Heyman's nose.

Eddie Guerrero an Chris Benoit are ECW guys IIRC.

I'm not sure. But it has started to snow.

It's like 45 and humid in NYC. Definitely not Christmas weather.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Man Matt's Ice-T clutch was hype.

 

[Alfebit]

Guys, next gen is coming....

Christmas came early and so did I.

 

[MillionStabs]

Some of my Xmas haul:
Bayo 2
Sun Bros shirt
Reploids Against Mavericks shirt
USF4
Link amiibo
and a TV big enough to throw a seven year old girl into!

Its kinda charming how wrong Woolie and Matt are about everything rap related in the Def Jam LP

Well, Matt's white and Woolies basically white. So you can't really blame them

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

It really kills the mood when Burroughs tells me that I completed a quest right after something major happens in the story.

Guys, next gen is coming....

That's some next gen jiggle physics

Post the Sun Bros shirt! I want one!

USF4 for what platform?

 

[Jman014]

Guys, next gen is coming....

Oh yeah that has a Steam page. I might pick it up if I find it interesting.

 

[ArclightBorealis]

Guys, next gen is coming....

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Still waiting on NG4.

Spoiler

I'll still probably get Last Round anyway.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Guys, next gen is coming....

Aw yes.

I wonder if I'm ever going to get the game on Steam.

 

[MillionStabs]

Post the Sun Bros shirt! I want one!

USF4 for what platform?

Praise the Sun!

And I got it for the master platform, sorry..

 

[Okingjrr]

Man, I just re-watched the Def Jam brawl and realized 2 things:
1. The intro is so fucking hype!
2. Pat is the whitest motherfucker of the Zaibatsu.

What about Liam?

 

[Banana Aeon]

What about Liam?

Pat is like a zillion times whiter than Liam.

 

[Okingjrr]

What about Liam?

But Liam didn't grow up in the city.

 

[croten]

I'm sure there's a lewd scene in there somewhere. It's like 300 ch long =P.
So I've heard. I'm gonna read it soon.

But first, I'll probably just fall asleep in a couple of minutes. Feeling fucking nauseous.

There might be a couple.

 

[DXLelouch153]

But Liam didn't grow up in the city.

Pat sure doesnt look like a city boy

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Pat sure doesnt look like a city boy

Wasn't raised with a bowie knife and a rifle in his hands either.

Spoiler

You murdered your childhood friends who had transformed into demons,

Congratulations on completing the quest!

 

[Banana Aeon]

Ah yes, the traditional Christmas dinner that is ramen.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Wow, Shinji Mikami worked on Aladdin (SNES) and Goof Troop. The more you know.

Every time.

Every time.

And Gainax helped with Alisia Dragoon

 

[misses bull]

Ah yes, the traditional Christmas dinner that is ramen.

Those look like turds

 

[Alfebit]

Those look like turds

I thought they were giant worms.

 

[zedreamcast]

How the hell is this game apart of the same series as xenosaga...

 

[croten]

I got sweet ass turkey slippers from my Aunt, you fuckers aint got shit

How the hell is this game apart of the same series as xenosaga...

Technically it's not, other than the Xeno part they are completely separate games, same with Xenoblade

 

[Mathaou]

Oh shit thanks for the heads up, I thought we had more time, can I get a link to the rules again? It was 2 pages double spaced with 12 times new roman right?

Okay, recap post and the final solution to our problem:

What?
A writing contest between these people (no late entries, but judges are welcome).

They will write a short 2-4 page story based on this prompt: The Life and Times of Baby Ashley: "Four Men and a Baby". Suggestions for writing include focusing just on the "4 men and a baby part" or just a story about Baby Ashley. Based on this bracket, judges will decide the winner of a matchup, and will continue until we have a winner.
Of whom should I be afraid?
The judges: Banana Aeon, 360pages, and GlitchesAreCool. Potentially a 4th if anyone wished to volunteer.
Who?
Baby Ashley is a baby doll that our very own Pat received in the mail, and has since been made canon.
Here is a great video explaining this further.
Baby Ashley
When?
Deadline is Jan 1.
Format?
Double spaced, times new roman, 12pt font.
How do I submit?
Send me the link to your story as a google doc accessible to anyone with the link, which will allow ease of access when judging begins.
My story didn't get picked? Why?!
The judges decisions are final, this is a dumb contest, so calm down.



You can write whatever the fuck kind of style or genre you want, but Baby Ashley has to be in it somehow.

I just got plain old normal slippers...

 

[DoktorEvil]

How the hell is this game apart of the same series as xenosaga...

I don't think it's the same universe IIRC.

Xenogears, Saga, and Blade only have the mechas an the religious imagery in common.

 

[JooseBawcks]

How comfy are they

 

[AngryCanadian]

Okay, recap

Thank you

 

[croten]

How comfy are they

Like my feet are enveloped in clouds

 

[croten]

I don't think it's the same universe IIRC.

Xenogears, Saga, and Blade only have the mechas an the religious symmetry in common.

Xenoblade doesn't have mechs actually, well X does but not the first one

DPd like the shameless bitch I am

 

[RecursiveFault]

So I booted up ZombiU. That name is still godawful, but after playing other survival horror games since it came out, I think I like this game a lot more, it's basically open world survival horror. When I played the game on launch I had never played a game in the genre and was absolutely lost.

The Gamepad stuff should really let me hit B to close the backpack and stuff though. It's annoying for my swipe not to register immediately when I realize Zambambos are coming,

Like my feet are enveloped in clouds

Water vapor? Sounds wet, gross.

 

[zedreamcast]

Noooo my balloon!
