Man, Swerve winning really got me thinking he might beat Joe… If it weren’t for Hangman. I still think the money storyline is Swerve tricking Hangman into challenging Joe and helping Hangman beat Joe so he can eventually face Hangman for the title. The only problem with that is Adam Cole. As much as I like Adam Cole, I think he’s become a huge hindrance to the booking at the top. TK seems as enamored with him as he was with Punk. Also, with all of his time injured, guys like Joe, Swerve, Hangman, Ospreay, and Takeshita look so much more legit and believable as being the top guy. Plus Cole just makes the resumption of the feud with MJF seem inevitable. Because without Cole in the picture, things are so much cleaner. Joe drops the title to Hangman, who drops the title to Swerve, and then we build to Swerve vs Ospreay for the title at Wembley. With Cole in the picture, you can’t give a good push to Swerve, or anyone else, because all roads go right back to Cole and MJF for the title when I think the real money is an eventual title match between Swerve and Ospreay. And let’s assume MJF is gone until November or something. What would you rather see? Cole vs Ospreay or nearly anyone else vs Ospreay? With the shape Ospreay is in, he looks he’d destroy little Cole.

That fucking ruled. It’s so crazy. WWE is killing it on stories and in ring segments and backstage stuff and AEW is killing it doing more of a sports style booking and more matches. That’s not to say that WWE’s matches are bad, I don’t care much for the tv style, or that AEW’s stories are poor, but they definitely need more planning and cohesiveness, but it makes for an excellent week of wrestling tv. I swear, Takeshita looks like he murders everyone he faces.

I watched a video saying that the camera has been pulled back a little bit more, gameplay feels a little better even if it's mostly the same, the AI is improved and very challenging, and the action has been slowed down in the ring. Any of that sound accurate?

BTW, I rewatched the closing angle again and man, the Rock was seriously channeling southern slave owner with his dialogue. He was like something out of Django Unchained with how over the top he was. -

I do agree that there’s so much more heat for Cody vs Rock now. If Rock is going to show the movie career down a little bit for the next year then you may as well do Cody vs Rock at Summerslam and then Roman vs Rock at WM41. Provided the Rock stays healthy, which is a big if. -

Also, that may have been the best Chicago Raw in a long time. I didn't watch all of it because I was skipping around, but everything I saw was great and the amazing Chicago crowd was back and eating everything up. Ending segment was awesome. And with each week goes by the tease Austin more and more and, man, this motherfucker is about to be pants free if he comes out at Wrestlemania to stun the Rock on night 2. -

Huh. TIL Mindy's is in Wicker Park. -
So...Is this thing worth buying if I bought last year's game? Is enough different?
-
I couldn't give a shit less what Finn Wolfhard does in Ghostbusters because he only has one mode and that's playing Mike or characters like Mike. So I'm with what he had to do in the movie because he ultimately doesn't bring much to the table for me outside of Stranger Things.
-
Also, bless my older daughter. I love her so much. She cracked me up during the movie unintentionally. When Patton is on screen she turns to me and is like, "there's a lot of people from Stranger Things in this." I go, "oh, that's not Bob, that was a different actor" and then after the movie I explained that during season 2 of Stranger Things that the joke was, "when did Sean Astin turn into Patton Oswalt?" EDIT: Couple other thoughts...Carrie Coon was really channeling her character from the Leftovers at times, which is fine by me. I guess she kind of did that in the first movie. Kumail and Patton were both really funny and knocked it out of the park. The other British guy was pretty good too. Patton delivers the word "hookers" like no one else. God bless that man.

It really did feel like one of the cooler plots from an episode of the Real Ghostbusters. I have zero clue what any of the reviewers were basing their poor reviews on. I don’t know what they expected to see. I saw some say that they wanted to see more ghost busting so it could be more like the original where they're like plumbers or firemen, but for ghosts. I've seen that opinion a lot. It makes me wonder when the last time they saw the original movie was because they bust 1, ONE ghost, and it's Slimer. The rest of the time it's fucking around with a once in a generation cast, a once in a generation script, and a once in a generation job by the director, especially with letting Bill Murray say whatever he wanted. They show the montage of them around town, but that's it. I thought it was really funny and had a lot of heart. Again, this seems to come up a lot, but there's plenty of stuff I could see hitting close to home for parents or step parents or step children, not to mention what it's like to raise a young teen. I liked that it establishes what's happening with the family in NYC and what they're doing and then it pretty much moves on from there to where, without spoiling anything, it opens up the Ghostbusters universe in a way that is really fucking cool. I geek out for dumb shit like schematics that some graphic designer cooked up, but that works here because you also get to see just how it works. I think if I had any big criticism it's that the third act feels somewhat rushed. There also seemed to be a lot in the trailer that wasn't in the movie, which makes me wonder how much the strike affected things. It makes me think there was more to explore in that third act and it ends putting a really nice and neat bow on everything where... So yeah, you could flesh out that third act more, but then you're probably adding another 20 to 30 minutes to this thing and a tight 2 hours was about perfect. BTW, I loved, LOVED that callback to the shit that happens to William Atherton in real life... The reviews for this movie are about the most unfair I've seen for a movie that is, at worst, just OK, and at best, for someone that's a huge fan of the movies and lore and everything, I think it's better than 2 and I think it edges out Afterlife (I really loved the sentimentality of Afterlife). If you go off of the reviews, you'd think it was worse than Madam Web, a movie where THE VILLAIN HAS ALL OF HIS LINES ADR'd AND NONE OF IT MATCHES UP WITH THE MOVEMENTS OF HIS MOUTH and that doesn't even speak to how big of a piece of shit the rest of it was. I don't know. It's pretty fucking good. At least I thought so. And I'm happy it's making a lot of money to make a third one of these. So like, go see it. If you weary of it, again, at worst I could see someone thinking it was merely OK or passable, but if you're down for fun Ghostbusters shit, then yeah, it's going to be your jam.

This is the perfect way to sum up my feelings. But hey, gotta make that Netflix content. Yeesh…The more shit like this happens the more I think Beverly Hills Cop 4 is going to be a mega turd even though that trailer was really good.
-
Ghostbusters Frozen Empire was really fucking solid. I’ll have more to say later, but I have zero clue what any reviewer was expecting. It was a ton of fun and, not that it matters, the theater was clapping for it once the credits rolled. I really didn’t expect that.

I just now got lucky. I basically kept doing the fights until 2 party members died that way they’d die on the first hit. Then figured out using Focused Thrust is a good way to pressure and stagger them on the second fight. The third one was more or less just getting lucky to stagger them before killing them all. I swear…It’s not the bosses or anything like that that’s most challenging, it’s these stupid jobs and mini games. My next step was doing what you suggested. I’m now taking a break after failing the 4th fight. On the plus side, I just piled up a ton of Gil and mats for crafting. So I got that going for me, which is nice. And I think I am way over leveled at this point. I’ll have to see if I can switch to hard mode midway through. That or I’ll have to intentionally gimp my builds. Right now with Cloud it’s nearly impossible to die. I stacked Enemy Skill with HP Absorption and took Cait’s Magnify skill to stack that with Fire and Ice and I’m just crushing everything super fast. On the other end of the spectrum, Yuffie sure comes down to earth pretty quickly damage wise. I’m still able to do decent damage with her, but it’s not like it was when I first got her. I still haven’t used Cait, which is basically how I remember using them in the original.
-
My GOD. This Teach Me Great Warrior job for Yuffie is fucking impossible. The enemies die so fast and any one attack takes away half their health. There’s no way to both pressure and stagger these weak as fuck enemies. They just fall over and die.

60 hours in and I only just got to the jungle in chapter 9. I’m taking the very long route. I still haven’t fight a hard boss yet. I’m not sure which one Raziel was talking about. I was able to beat the Tonberry King in one shot thanks to an item I got awhile back. So far I’ve hit nearly 100% in every area, but I don’t see myself playing more of the mini games in the Gold Saucer except for Queens Blood. I finished out all of the level 3 Chocobo Races and that’s incredibly tedious. I also have a couple of the fights Chadley had me do where I only completed 2 out of 3 objectives. I might go back for those of it means unlocking something good, otherwise I doubt I’ll care much.
-
Nevermind. Finally beat them. Ugh.
-
Jesus CHRIST. Someone please give me some tips on beating the landworms and duneworms in the simulator. Fucking A.

Beating the last person, I forget their name is impossible. I did see one suggestion to switch from graphics mode to performance mode and that didn’t help either. Even doing the situps perfectly they’re at 40+ and I’m at 30. I basically gave up. Boy, do I really not like the Gold Saucer. There is something about the design of it with stairwells everywhere and everything looking the same that I don’t dig. Even with the ability to fast travel around I still hate the look of it and everyone there is the most anime bullshit ever. It’s sort of like the similar area in Remake except worse. I don’t mind a tonal change, but this is so drastic because everyone starts acting like a dumb cunt. And I really don’t like most of the mini games. It’s just kind of a pain in the ass area. I was happy to take a brief detour from there to go to the next area. My only other gripe is the constant forcing of a relationship between two characters. Once again a game really tries to force romance when all I can think of is the Witcher 3 and how that did it best. #teamtriss

I really wish I could find a really good guide for emulating No Mercy with these mods. There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive, step-by-step process for everything you need to download, where to download it from, and then what you need to do. I remember trying to emulate it a few years ago and it was just a mess. I couldn't get it working and didn't know what I was doing.
-
Yeah, as mentioned above, I had them mixed up to some degree, but I absolutely HATE Blitzball. 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 7 Remake, and 7 Rebirth are the ones I like. X is kinda just...there for me. It's fine. I don't remember much of the first few, I really didn't like 8 even though it was gorgeous at the time, 13, 15, and 16 I don't care for.
-
Oh my God. All of this. I still haven’t seen the couple episodes Disney+ didn’t add because of the content in the episode. I should try to seek those out. But yeah, some of those episodes are really heavy. There’s the one with the couple that’s growing apart too, I think it’s one of the Heeler’s brothers or sisters.
-
I thought the same thing. My friend who was hardcore into PoE for years until Last Epoch came out swears though that what they showed of PoE 2 is pretty exciting and different. Still looks like a game you need an advanced degree in skill trees to play.
-
Last Epoch is what you’d get from the good parts of the best ARPGs and a story heavily inspired by Chrono Trigger.
