  1. I think it's because they're paying him enough to be available for these things that they want to get as much as they can for it
  2. Breaks my heart that even with the recent agreements DYRL getting a 40th anniversary run in the US remains a legal impossibility
  3. I presume it's all Doombots just like the teachers at Latveria's superhero school, and they're locked out of the World Cup which Doom sees as a deliberate insult directed at him.
  4. When I started watching in 97, the Headbangers were working indies every other week. I'm not sure exactly when the E stopped letting people work them, but I think this is good, and I hope it becomes a norm again.
  5. The Llamasoft Gold Master Collection isn't as cool as the Karateka one, but it's still fascinating. I wasn't really aware of Minter til Tempest 2000 and the DOS version of Llamatron 2112, so I'm learning a LOT. I hope DE gets to keep making these for the rest of my life because I'm gonna buy every single one.
  6. I think from here on out, I'm just gonna buy anything Digital Eclipse produces. They put out the first commercial package of emulated games nearly 30 years ago, and even for stuff like the new Llamasoft pack where I have a pre-existing affection for exactly one game that I already had in the Atari 50 collection, I know I'm gonna get my money's worth when I buy their shit.
  7. To me, this seems like it is exactly the kind of book she's best at--a bunch of weirdos who are all too horny and for whom you need a Mulder corkboard to keep track of both sexual and non-sexual relationships
  8. Thanks. The initial solicitation made it sound like the arena was the only thing waiting for later, but I'm glad to get to wait on it. Finally beat the fantasy Showcase rumble; knowing that I only needed 10 eliminations made it a lot less stressful. I used McIntyre--I had pretty good luck with Steamboat at first, but dudes who have a standing strike or running move as a Finisher have a HUGE advantage, and guys whose Finishers are all top rope, springboard, or submissions are screwed. Now that I've used him, I'm really bummed that Shammy didn't get a Dragon Sleeper for his standing submission; the feud with Owen and Severn where they were all using it wasn't exactly good but I have fond memories of it, and it has more personality than a guillotine.
  9. Winning the fantasy Rumble in Showcase gets you a bunch of Ruby and sapphire cards, other than that it's just Rise that has Faction card rewards (and those are all the fictional rivals from this year and prior years). As for the boss cards in Faction War, once you've beaten the 4v4 at the end of a stage those cards unlock in the Faction Wars shop, and can be bought permanently with the unique points from that mode (not MFP). Emerald are 3k, Sapphire 4 and Ruby 5. I've got enough to get a Ruby but am waiting to see how the run I'm in the middle of shakes out before I buy something that may not end up what I want. Did the five bonus chars from the 40 Years pack unlock at launch or are they coming with the WM40 arena after Mania? Now that I've gotten all the Showcase stuff that buying that version unlocks I'm tempted to spring the extra $20 next paycheck but don't want to if I'm buying nothing today.
  10. Ah, okay. I guess I'm just used to presuming they drew straws or cut cards and never really wonder about the mechanics
  11. All 6 guys had lobbied Pearce for the shot in the past 3 weeks, some of them more than once.
  12. The system for acquiring edits on PS sucks, but it's still a great time and a great snapshot of NJPW and Stardom circa 2018-19, full of people who've come west since
  13. Instead of Universe mode I started Unleashed, the women's story in My Rise. Just like every year, it is very silly. I'm not very far in yet, but i unlocked a couple of Faction cards (Ava Moreno, your on-again-off-again partner/rival from 23 and Odyssey Rift, the first person you fight this year and I think a random optional match in 23). The first match is how I found out you can burn a finisher to set a table on fire this year and gave me a William Regal quote that may replace the Oingo Boingo line that's been my signature here since 2005: "A friend is just an enemy you haven't wronged yet." No more MyFaction work of any note for me, still feeling frustrated enough at Bate's shitty submissions and needing to win with them to level him up that it's just kind of hard to get excited about. The fact that it takes so much more currency to buy new cards doesn't help, but really if you just gave me a bunch of things I can grind to level (like 2k22, where every Season Pass char got an evolvable card) I'd probably never get bored...which is why 2k23 switched the DLC chars to non-evo.
  14. Man, I kind of recoiled when I saw what Riley was wearing backstage, and I don't know how much more it's okay to say without breaking rules.
  15. I had to check and make sure whether this was the Tim Rogers from the Insert Credit podcast
