Golgo 13

Call me crazy, but I think Chavo would be perfect for Punk at this point.

Unless there's more in the works for Carlito, that wasn't even that bad of a burial. Noble had it worse during the Hornswoggle feud.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=QJr7q5z5cZ0 Matt Hardy wasn't even the only one to escape, but I also remember reading about him objecting beforehand, as well, which was probably part of the reason for the reprimand. Even when he's lazy I like Carlito and I was looking forward to his latest run after the turn. Ah. He'll go to TNA anyway, everyone does.

If there wasn't still a lot more to reveal, one could say the Dojo is really running on fumes right now.

Way to make Relic/Rellik look threatening. It's not like Rhino is going anywhere.

I dunno, I need an expert dissertation by a 15 year old using Windows Movie Maker on YouTube to convince me.

I used to complain about this very thing. Now I bitch about other concerns and am a little more understanding about this. Simply, No Mercy's simplicity made it possible. Basically just because it's new doesn't mean it's better or easier to work with. First, we're at seven years and two generations later, and the technology involved has risen. The limitations then both held No Mercy back and made it better, honestly. Emphasis was placed on ease of use by providing swappable parts and only a few body types were spread across the entire roster, and there was zero difference between a CAW and an already existing wrestler. Now you have specialized models for all wrestlers, more detail, higher demands, etc., and even when taking, say, two models for Triple H, it still takes work and time to provide any variance in his look, even just color changes. I know CAW is cited as to how this could work, but a created wrestler also has much less detail than those in the game. I don't believe it really is as easy as just changing the hue in the development process. Either that or Yuke's really are just a bunch of lazy bastards, at least to the point where they hit the bare minimum, at which point they spend their time needlessly fucking around with ALL NEW CONTROL and polishing Triple H's bulge instead of attacking what really, really matters. TL;DR. In short, it's a fault of Yuke's in how overly complicated their shit and their way of doing things is in an effort to please reviewers and your common graphics whore. I could be talking out my ass on these theories, but as long as we're talking about looks and presentation. I would, honestly, rather have time spent on proper entrance attires across the roster than pointless shit like Triple H in a Suit and shit. Things like throwback attires would be cool, but, personally, I can't see myself fucking around with that much. Again, speaking on presentation, it takes me out of it when I have, say, Blue Blood Triple H coming out to Motorhead. It's actually similar to my gripe on so-and-so missing a jacket during his entrance. If Yuke's and THQ are gonna put the PR spin on having the best presentation and being the most realistic, then do it.

What a dumb video.

This is way more time given to the NFC West and tonight's game on SportsCenter than either deserves.

JR ran it up a little bit by sinking a quick 3 in the final minute. Iverson goes for 37, Smith puts in 29.

Lies.

Wait. So Christian doesn't acknowledge the Angle Alliance at all? I'm assuming we'll get some brief Christian and Angle team-ups out of this eventually, but it's weird not for it to be mentioned at all.

Ugh. I hate when they do this.

I wish TNA still had Spike. Tell me evil heel Spike Dudley wouldn't have been perfect for this. Not really sure if I like Riddick. It doesn't seem to suit him, but it is better than Crimson Blood.

School Days. All I needed to wait for was the ending and I was satisfied. I'd have preferred Kotonoha jumping off the roof, but I guess (presumably) floating around aimlessly on her nice boat until death by malnutrition with Makoto's head to keep her company is bad enough. LOL worthy all in all. And the ending was supposed to be even worse in terms of gore. Ghost Hound is so good. The atmosphere, the all star crew behind the scenes, Production IG's typically great effort. It looks like a winner.

I'm gonna go with Conway for some reason.

What's that Japanese fed where a ladder and a dog won their hardcore championship? I know there are videos of it on YouTube and was hoping someone would help me out in finding them. I think they were posted here, but I'm not going through 64 pages to find them.

The stream is airing a replay for anyone who didn't watch it the first time.

It's Johnny 'The Bull' Stamboli under his REDRUM gimmick.

It's been brought up locally that Najera has been working on his shooting, so he has a green light from Karl to take the shot if he wants.

I don't see Fongus here.

I'll say nothing below 15-20 is ever safe unless there's 4-6 minutes to go. It sounds about right, though we've all seen some crazy shit happen. Yeah, I have no sympathy for those getting run up on unless it's below that 4 minute threshold, circumstances permitting. If you don't want it to happen, don't suck.

Well. First, Aki is presumably not involved in any way. It's possible Aki, THQ, whoever, farms out development with Aki's okay, but I'm working off the theory that Aki wants nothing to do with THQ. I'm not a law guy, anyway, I have no idea if THQ and their chosen developers could go and root around in Aki's code for profit without their okay. Honestly, I wouldn't count on anything like new moves. I don't know how they'll handle themes and trons, if they do, and there's also the WWF scratch logo in-game and instances in the story mode which they would have to go in and change that. It's probably a very basic surface level cleansing... improved graphics and sound if we're lucky, including theme and tron replacements, strategic texture hacking and replacement (logo, attire, show sets), fixing each guy's attributes and movesets to suit whoever they're being replaced with... all this is generous, in my mind. I wouldn't count on anything more than each departed guy getting a new look to match what's current using what's already in the game and maybe changing their attributes and movesets to match, fixing the logo, and leaving it at that. Though how would it be if they did all that and just switched off the locked attirubutes and moveset sections, so we could just go in and customize to our will. It could also equal moar profits all around, but there's also the possibility of this actually cutting in to the profits on their vaunted and cutting edge SD vs Raw series, and they wouldn't want that.

Watch them put in a fucking Shadow assist instead. Pumpkin Hill/A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup is awesome. The sole reason anyone hates any of the Knuckles songs is because they're rap.

no fucking way. it would be amazing if true, but there are way too many issues involved for me to believe that it is.
