For the first time in about 15 years I'll be DMing a campaign, doing a DnD 5e rendition of Dragonlance, but more of a fractured fairytales sort of way. My friends and big Acquisitions Inc fans so I'm setting it up as their characters get a shot at joining AI, go through a test house, only to be told that there are no more opportunities in the Forgotten Realms, but they've been selected for a bold new expansion opportunity. Zip-zap they're teleported to Krynn, which causes all sorts of Chaos to ensue hopefully. It'll be interesting because A) its my first time using Roll20 as a DM, so I'm sure even with all the reading up I've done there'll be a learning curve and B) My DM style is very RP and skill check-heavy with a dusting of combat and I'll have to make sure I'm satiating everyone's bloodlust in between. Either way it should be entertaining.

The best Indy match I saw live was the Aerostar/Drago/Phoenix vs AJ/The Bucks match at Chikara's King of Trios. Just a fantastic blend of insane spots, comedy bits (AJ vs the ring ropes) and they had the crowd frothing at the mouth by the end. It was even better because I had brought some friends who were old WWE fans but knew nothing of the Indies and the entire weekend was just mind-blowing for them. Best WWE match is a weird one but probably one of the Dudleys tag matches from the house shows they did in Portland, Maine in the early to mid 2000s. I don't know why they always did it, but every time they got the main event and out-worked the rest of the roster by like 200%. I'll always respect them for that.

I feel like acknowledging Lio took time off to mourn the loss of family/Acclaimed trash-talking that/Team Taz trying to scoop Dante will be considered the catalyst of Lio's face turn. Part of me thinks in the long run this will played off as Lio "investing" in Dante by doing things his way; with a tag title run being the payoff on that investment. All I know is that I want to see Dante/Lio vs everyone.

Daniel Warren Johnson is pretty awesome. His run of Beta Ray Bill has some great wrestling easter eggs, including Bill hitting the Rainmaker of some poor schlub. I also have his Lance Archer piece he did last Wrestletober, so I might be a little biased.

EA Ultimate Cashgrab '23 sounds about right.

Its kind of amusing to me that the Dragon Quest MMO goes turn-based, while the latest game goes Action combat. That being said 10 will be a surefire pickup.

The fact that Mr. Perfect basically goes for a schoolboy there BEFORE hitting the perfect-plex is nuts!

I miss subbed Kamen Rider and Sentai, but at least it looks like the Zero-One physical copies will be coming soon. On the Ultraman front I started watching Trigger and its okay. It's got some strong Kamen Rider vibes in it(which makes sense since Sakamoto's directing it), but the occasional CGI fights just are jarring. Also I miss my boy Sevenger.

Happy 20th Birthday to the Golden Sun franchise, may we someday get another game in the series.

I'd go through a site like HLJ, They've got it up for pre-order worldwide, but you'll have to pay international shipping. https://www.hlj.com/16d-collection-018-hulk-hogan-legend-masters-16d00441

Yeah count me among the people happy with what I have, I can live without the SwOLED.

I watched the Wakusaver video and thats some spot on Sentai right there. The off-brand Sentai stuff has always interested me because it seems like such a labor of love. I think that's why Akibaranger was so cool, because to me it felt like Toei was acknowledging them and parodying them at the same time.

Bloody Disgusting did an editorial about it, the film definitely sounds wild. https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3642826/skinned-deep-one-completely-bonkers-horror-films-2000s-aughta-know/

I would love this to be Silent Hills/ a Kojima Horror Game. It'll be another Gilson B. Pontes garbage fire.

Between SMT V, Advance Wars and the Japanese direct confirming Super Robot Wars 30 (with English translation) the direct definitely was a hit for me.
