    Ospreay vs Shingo pulled a 6-star rating. Yeah, it was that good. Also covid has been hitting Japan hard so they've postponed both the Yokohama Stadium and Tokyo Dome shows, which was probably for the better because they only had two matches set between them and one of them involved maybe-Covid'ed Okada

    >NHL >"Will Connor McDavid get to 100 points in this 56 game season" >3 games against Canucks >9 Points in those 3 games >2 of his last 4 games are against the Canucks Outside shot at 110 the way this is going

    I've somehow forgotten the plot of TWEWY so everything that happens is like reacting to it again (except I didn't forget the identity of the new partner) Dynazenon Ep 5 I like how Gauma and the other boss are the only ones gung-ho about fighting this battle and everyone else just treats it as an annoying chore they have to do so they can just go hang out and have fun instead

    Pretty much everything I'm interested in drops on Fri/Sat/Sun and lately anime's the thing I've been pushing to the back of the line

I like the '80s look and it's fun when you're in beast form but stiff as hell and kinda cheap otherwise. It may just be the port, but it does feel like there's some input lag, that you pretty much have to know something is gonna come at you to properly time the button press. I abused the hell out of the save states to pop all the trophies (except the multiplayer trophy, gotta look for a boosting partner for that). 22) Daytonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa USA (100% Trophies) Fun little game. Music, the bridge etc. Kinda wish I paid more attention to the arcade and/or Sega scenes back in the day so this could've been one of those "OMFG" moments at what the future of graphics was going to look like

Sticking to spires and swinging off hooks is so finicky. Had pretty much completed everything except the Master Thief challenges for the 75% and 100% trophy so I just finished those for another platinum. That's all the Team Ico, God of War and the Sly Platinum I'd left behind. Still have two Infamous Platinums, maybe two Uncharted Platinums (1 was kinda clunky and I never liked 3 but maybe I could do'em) and then some extra trophies I never bothered with in Uncharted 4 that were left behind that I'd like to do. Buuut that'll be in the future.

Don't know why I thought it was one of my least favourites (definitely has one of my least favourite enemies in those ghost things that dive at you from underground), game flowed pretty well and the combat was cool. Though I guess the one big difference is that I played it directly after Chains of Olympus and I wanted to Platinum that one immediately because it felt so good to play. Anyways, that's every God of War game platinum'ed for me now. Ascension > 2 > CoO > 2018 = GoS > III = 1

    TWEWY Ep 3 I forgot about that plot twist. Also: This anime exists to get you hyped to play the Neo: TWEWY sequel that's coming out in the summer, and it's totally working

    I kind of liken it to something like Donkey Kong Country 3 or Assassin's Creed Revelations or the later NES Mega Man games where it's maybe too well-refined and people were over it by then, but I just loved how easy it felt to play compared to God of War III, and the puzzle solving got pretty clever too. Not as good of QTE set-pieces with Titans like in God of War 3, though. And yeah, the story and setting had overstayed its welcome, easily the weakest non-multiplayer part of the game. Speaking of 18) God of War III (Platinum) I had three trophies left, beating the Challenge of the Gods (easier than I thought it would be), beating the Labyrinth without dying and beating Titan Mode. I cheated for the last two, there was a glitch that gave you infinite health and all your weapons maxed out at the start of the game (still died a few times on the Labyrinth anyways). Would've hated trying to do this legit. Some of those battles seemed like quite a bit of bullshit heaped on you. Still would be my least favourite God of War if it wasn't for the second PSP game.

    17) God of War: Ascension (Platinum) Just had to beat it once on Hard Mode to get the Platinum. Still my favourite God of War game. Only annoyances was the camera zooming out a bit too much at times and the QTEs (especially in combat, where you're frantically mashing one button and suddenly you have to press another to counter an attack and there's really no way to do it)

    2021 NHL Season

    Fucking weird, before the Canucks had 4-5 more games played than everyone else in the division, now because of the rona it's 4-5 games less. Probably won't be able to make the playoffs unless Montreal goes on a significant losing streak and the Canucks do the opposite (and even then, the Canucks don't play them any more this year so they're not in control of their own destiny) in the last games of the season.

Though, one thing that always annoys me about street racing games is that the computer AI is tuned to make the right moves to quickly recover from any contact with anything whereas if you slightly nudge a street sign or a wall, you're liable to backflip your car right off a cliff. I popped all the available non-DLC single player trophies and hopefully I'll eventually find a boosting partner to pop the Platinum but if not it's fine, I'm over 50% trophies even counting the DLC (which I'm not going to get).

    TBH I'd actually spin it that they hindsight screwed themselves in the PS3 generation. The Cell Processor being such a bitch to do backwards compat with whereas Microsoft's had a much more uniform hardware development style throughout their console life laid the groundwork for Microsoft skating out of this looking good no matter what. You can almost guarantee Sony at some point was hoping to utilize PS3 port or remake collections to make extra money (TLOU1 remake, wtf?) and then Microsoft dragged them kicking and screaming into a pro-consumer thing instead.

    Thanks Sony, RIP my wallet (Acks kinda nice because I probs never would've gotten around to buying most of that stuff otherwise)

    I had an okay time with 86/Eighty Six but there's also nothing special about it. I might drop it if there's too many other things piling up. Tokyo Revengers Ep 1 seems like it'll be fun

Not possible to Platinum anymore (the online was locked behind a pass which was no longer for sale after the game got de-listed), but I wouldn't have been able to anyways, not skilled enough at drifting and don't know enough about cars to figure out good set-ups to accomplish some of said stunt/trick modes. Luckily there was enough to do that I hit 52% trophy completion (65% in the base game/not counting DLC trophies) so I could at least maintain the goal of 50% trophies on my profile (acks TLOU1 on my profile is below that because of the multiplayer).

    MAN, Mania Night 1 was good as fuck. Splitting Mania into two nights is definitely the way to go, a 3 hour show is compact and the fan buzz doesn't die halfway through (goddamn were those fans jazzed to be there even after the storm delay)

This one can go next to Yakuza Kiwami as a video game achievement I'm actually proud of.
