The thing I loved most about that match was that the crowd was going and then they had to quiet down and watch intently because Dante and Lee started doing 4D flip-grappling and you had to pay attention to figure out what the fuck was going on

As always, I'm an anime-only, keep those manga spoilers outta here Golden Wind 23 The action in Golden Wind has been hardcore, I cringe hard at least once every episode or so and a few have been skin-crawling or stomach turning

I was cool with Platinum End until this episode, then all of a sudden Also those spoilers sound horrifyingly bad

I appreciate them freeing almost everyone I want freed (Killer Kross, Scarlet, Metalik/Dorada, Keith Lee) but god damn, there's not enough big promotions to hold everyone

This was like playing Mario 64 on 3D All-Stars last year, just slapped the nostalgia goggles right off my face. It's still okay but the track balance isn't great, snaking/rubber-banding CPUs are annoying as shit and some of the tracks on the higher CCs just throw bullshit at you. I missed the tracks being designed around powerslide boosting the same way newer Mario Karts are

The last boss on Hard Mode while trying to get the best ending has the difficulty if that's what you're looking for

I've played two, maybe three, but Wario Land games are historically underrated imo.

God, man, the N64 has aged like milk

Pretty easy, though I did die a few more times than I expected to (a few OHKO enemies, especially a fish in the water level). I like the scavenger hunt aspect of this game and how unlocking levels is based on it, I probably beat the game about 7 or 8 times unlocking them all. Like a solid 6/10 chill platformer.

As I've understood it, Sinclair is a billion dollar TV company that uses Ring of Honor as cheap programming on a shoestring budget (Cornette has horror stories about this) to boost ratings averages in bad late-night timeslots that otherwise wouldn't draw much of anything. It sounded like they were spending some decent money on talent ever since the MSG show but once the Elite left, they never got their reputation back. I'd guess that without a live crowd for 18 months and being set to lose a few more guys to their contracts running out (I think PCO wasn't re-signing, Rush got injured but he was probably gone as well), they probably just said fuck it and mean to sign cheap talent to put on anything in those spots. But like, I'd also assume there's no way they let the Briscoes and Jay Lethal go too so who really knows.

Damn, would've thought it was Impact that died first.

EMMI sections are a lot better once you realize that

On the second last, I used them to respawn with my leveled up Lena already at the beginning (they crank the bullshit up, so no point in going in less than leveled up), and in the last level I used it to respawn after the first boss (easy to beat without getting hit/no point in doing it over and over) and then eventually on the last boss in general, who's bullshit personified and you're mostly not going to beat it without everything going your way. It was an okay game otherwise, nothing special as an action platformer and most of the annoying bits leading into the last two levels just require using the right special moves or learning the pattern.

Platinum End 3

I found that when choosing your direction, you needed to overcorrect the left stick to go diagonally. Shit was annoying

31) Metroid Zero Mission (9:23:12, 100%) 32) Metroid Fusion (07:05:00, 100%) 33) Metroid: Samus Returns (14:35:14, 100%, Normal Mode) 34 :gb: Donkey Kong '94.

NSO library sure isn't impressive outside of the obvious choices.

40) :snes: Spanky's Quest Okay little Lolo style platformer/puzzle game but I hated it by the last world and save-stated through it because it was starting to rely on cheapness.

31) Metroid Zero Mission (9:23:12, 100%) 32) Metroid Fusion (07:05:00, 100%) 33) Metroid: Samus Returns (14:35:14, 100%, Normal Mode) 34 :gb: Donkey Kong '94.

I beat the Puzzle Mode and then Medium Story mode with every character to get some playtime out of it.

31) Metroid Zero Mission (9:23:12, 100%) 32) Metroid Fusion (07:05:00, 100%) 33) Metroid: Samus Returns (14:35:14, 100%, Normal Mode) 34 :gb: Donkey Kong '94. (100%) 35) Hey Pikmin! 36) Kirby Triple Deluxe (100%) 37) Metroid Dread (100%) 38) :snes: Joe & Mac (Easy) Congo's Caper was my first SNES game so this was a little nostalgic. I hate the hit detection but it's a short and sweet game. Never let go of the stone wheel.

People were under the impression that the Expansion pass is a forced annualized plan too, you can't sub to it for a month at a time like you can the regular Online.

37c) Metroid Dread (03:02:xx Normal Mode) Awriiight, unlocked all the things now.

The Boomers are getting rowdy

I'm annoyed with the Genesis games in particular because those cost money to put on the service and this already exists and goes on sale pretty regularly. But whatevs, I'll just make a frowny face when I give Nintendo my money instead of a happy face
