Looks like they shut down Mania in Tampa, it'll be broadcast from the PC with essential personnel only God damn, this is going to be weird

Arguably one of the most important for the next few years too, Xbox Series X was probably gonna do the full reveal there and then Sony was probably going to adjust their pricing and strategy depending on what they did. I assume we'll just be getting a lot of DIrects instead... and that would probably better <_<

Okay, NOW they've cancelled the rest of the NJPW Cup tour

1) One Piece - Pirate Warriors 3 1a) Journey 2) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD (Platinum) 3) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD (Platinum) 4) Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum) Technically I beat it 8 times. Seven of those times were just easy but grind-y. The one difficult playthrough was pretty tough to get from place-to-place in the map, and parts of the Bike Chase were rough, but none of the boss fights were unfair like in MGS2. The MGS4 Platinum is slightly rarer than the MGS2 one, but I would say the MGS2 one is harder. Also unlike MGS2, even though it was a grind, I didn't get the feeling of "Fuck, I kinda hate this" by the end of it. Things I Liked Things I Didn't Like So Much

My sister was watching Smackdown and Dynamite from last week back to back and I figured out why I hate legends in WWE and like them in AEW. AEW: The legends are there to back up the guys of now and add to it. They're managers, talkers, posse-members, there to be an extra set of fists if and when shit goes down. Or they're guys like Jericho and Dustin, who can still go. WWE: The legends are there to remind you that WWE used to be good, the wrestlers there are to act like marks and mega-fans for them, and if they can still wrestle, they're mostly there to beat everyone despite being past their prime. Fuck

I'm way skipping the Chamber and the Smackdown matches, might hit up the other Raw matches because I'm cool with that shit

HB@ye, little birdy

General Things To Know: PSN Profiles Trophy Guide Playstation Trophies Collectibles Guide (including Flashbacks, one thing they don't mention, in Act 4 you can only collect one of Old LA 2040 or Policenauts End Title iPod tunes per playthrough, you have to get the other in another playthrough) Playstation Trophies Emblem Guide (useful for grinding out Emblems on your Chicken Run especially) Boss Extreme Non-Lethal Ammo Locations Vash12349's Naked Run on Boss Extreme with Commentary (sorta Speedrunny, really useful commentary) Jaguar King's Naked Speedrun on Boss Extreme with no saves A New Game+ Run on Boss Extreme (This is useful for slow-and-steady tactics, easier ways to take down bosses with New Game + equipment, and for when you find you just can't do frame-perfect speedrun bullshit) I didn't find this nearly as frustrating as MGS2's. The bosses that fucked me up mostly did so because I hadn't learned the patterns yet or I had made it through a previous encounter with shit damage, whereas some of MGS2's had One Hit Kills and you had to survive for 10ish minutes against them, really only the third part of the Bike Chase is that hard and that's only if you try to do it Naked. Every area felt like if I just figured out the trick, I'd eventually make it through and the checkpoints are generally forgiving (there's a few in Act 2 that are the worst, and one of the tailing areas). You do have to beat the game 8 times to get the Platinum (I'm on #3 right now), but after the Chicken Run and Boss Extreme run, it mostly just takes between two and three hours to beat

>tfw got the Big Boss Emblem Only like 6 or 7 more playthroughs to go, but they can all be done on Liquid Easy, with special items, and healing, and leeway on fucking everything

1. Shayna 2. Braun 3. Ziggler and Roode 4. Seth and Buddy 5. Aleister Black 6. Andrade B1. 3 B2. Kendo Stick B3. Yes B4. ZERO B5. New Day, Miz and Morrison

BTW, does anyone want me to link-dump all the resources I've been using to try to get through this, I'm gonna delete all those bookmarks once I'm finished

Also I just realized right this exact moment Liquid Snake/Ocelot uses Metal Gear Ray, an amphibious Metal Gear... because he's Liquid so ofc he rides something that can go in the water

I'm at the Act 3 Bike Chase. Apparently the hardest part of the Boss Extreme Run. FML Eyyyyy, made it through the first two parts after a few hours

Apparently the name is reference to one of the wrestlers who trained Penta and Fenix, who was himself part of a trio called Death Triangle/whatever the Spanish version was

>Standing behind two guards >Aim for headshots with tranq darts >Shoot >Miss >Shoot five more times >Miss all five

I've very rarely liked video game music that's re-done with an orchestra. It feels too high-brow and it tends to lose the "punch" of older video game themes especially. I've completed playthrough 1 of 8 of MGS4, popped the first 20 someodd Emblems. Doing the Big Boss/hardest Emblem next. Play on Boss Extreme difficulty, 0 Alerts, 0 Kills, 0 Deaths, beat in under 5 hours, use 0 healing items, don't use the special items (Bandana/Stealth Camo). This is some form of Hell, but it doesn't yet feel like the the worst of MGS2's Platinum.

How many does Shayna beat First weapon used in AJ/Aleister Some kind of question about Angel Garza in the Andrade match Last entrant in each Chamber match Individual tag wrestler who takes the last fall in the Tag Chamber (or last guy eliminated if it's an elimination match, I mostly fast-forward through SDL these days so I don't know the rules for the Tag Chamber) Who puts who through the Chamber glass/plexiglass panel/whatever it is

Brooooooooooo

>Starting MGS4 >"Awriiiight" >5-10 minute cutscenes after every 2 minutes of gameplay >10 minute mission briefing >"To get the first few emblems, stand in the same place for like 5 hours." Well, okay then

Wait, I'm an idiot, it's obviously

It's the obvious choice, and he may be the only one that can make that goofy bullshit work Wait, I got it. What if it's

Game recognize game, and I didn't recognize game :(

Fuckinnnnnng Kenny/Page vs The Bucks And Orange Cassidy Cody/MJF - Things I can come up with to explain it

Not if Vince has anything to say about it

I'm watching walkthroughs of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, it's super interesting how so many boss battles, set-pieces and plot twists ended up being re-used in later games just because the games weren't well known until Solid.
