Focus tests on some of the WWE guys and girls

Night 5 Backstage Comments Ishii told Mox that he'll have "any kind of match he wants, a death match, a street fight, anything." Also fucking Tanahashi

EVIL/SANADA and Okada/Fale were solid matches that performed about as expected ZSJ vs Tanahashi Ospreay vs Ibushi

Night 5 Prelims Archer vs KENTA I'll watch the rest later

God of War: Chains of Olympus (Platinum Trophy) Trials and then beating the game on hard mode, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Gentleman Jack vs Chad Gable on 205 was awesome

Apparently I'm better at things like this when I'm just listening to podcasts with the sound down.

Night 4

Did end up watching more Raw than I thought I would

I really liked CIMA/Kenny. I got about halfway through Bucks vs Rhodes and had to skip to the end, dead crowd and styles not meshing super well

I only ended up watching Black/Cesaro, half of AJ/Ricochet (too long, or maybe the quiet crowd made it feel too long) and the finishes of the WWE and Universal Title matches. G1 season and AEW all on the same weekend = WWE's getting sacrificed

Happens to me every once in awhile if I'm super tired. Wrestling's not something you need to pay careful attention to, it just happens and you absorb it, perfect way to set up comfy zzzzz's

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk 9. God of War 1 (Platinum Trophy) 10. DuckTales Remastered Got every trophy except Extreme Mode (have to beat the game with 3 lives, only a handful of health upgrades, barely any health refills and extra lives), including the one where you have to bounce across the underground of the Amazon with the Pogo Stick. Never played the original. I found the game a little annoying because the hit detection and the things that would cancel out movement were too touchy (especially when spikes can damage you just from walking close to them while on safe on a platform). I did love all the gems and stuff that would pop up out of nowhere and how the score was just collecting vast amounts of money (even if it's just to buy gallery art). Decent little platformer.

I'm gonna be shocked if A Block makes it to the halfway point of the tournament intact. Ospreay's apparently hurt enough to miss tag matches, Ibushi's still got a hurt ankle from Night 1 and ZSJ had his neck cranked on an Okada Tombstone. NIght 3

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings [Dark Mode] 4a Easy Mode/Roche Path 5 Pokemon Sun 6. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD 7. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga 8. Berserk and the Band of the Hawk 9. God of War 1 (Platinum Trophy) Was looking over my trophy list and all of my God of War lists are two or three off of a Platinum. 1 actually seemed pretty do-able, all I was missing was Challenge of the Gods (the original reason I didn't bother trying to platinum these games is that I specifically hate "don't get hit once" challenges), which I powered through while listening to a gaming podcast, and beating the game in under 5 hours, which was apparently quite easily do-able with a special costume after beating challenge (I kept figuring I was fucking up a lot, but I was only about 10-15 minutes off the 3:30:00 time). So I went a did it and popped another platty. I'm not the biggest fan of these kinds of combo-based action games, but it does feel kinda good to have a platinum in one. I'm gonna dick around with a few of the others maybe, but most of them seem to have "Beat Hard Mode" attached to them and I dunno about that one. (Also my Last of Us and Shadow of the Colossus Trophy lists are continuing to aggravate me. LoU because it shows up as 44% overall because of the multiplayer DLC even though I have 76% of the base game and Left Behind's Trophies. SotC is just hurting feelings at this point, I have 22 of 31 trophies but only 39% because none of them are Gold and a lot of them are based on time attacks/hard mode/collecting dinky little fruits or lizard tails)

Welp. I now watch AEW the same way I do WWE, skip a lot of segments and mostly watch matches with people I really like and/or the big matches. The G1 might partly be to blame for this (though it does expose AEW as weak on quality-control in their prelim matches when I watch that vs this), but the wrong people are winning and losing a bit too much for my liking, and I'm reading a bit too much nepotism and schizophrenic promotion where a youtube video will promote one thing, then the presentation or match will undo it (Brandy in particular comes to mind here). (Still haven't seen Kenny vs CIMA and Bucks vs Rhodes and I assume those will both be really good, but the rest of the show has left a lot to be desired from what my hopes and dreams of what AEW could be).

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk 8a. Berserk Platinum Trophy YOSHHHH That was grindy as fuck. Probably not worth it from a gameplay perspective but I like having the Berserk platinum attached to my PSN. I have a One Piece Pirate Warriors game that's also a Musou game, I hope it's easier to platinum/less grinding than this because I don't necessarily love the Musou gameplay but I do like how well they're done as fan-games

Dr Stone 2 This was a little more interesting
