Boba Fetts backstory sounds like comic book material. That so many comics now are being pushed as canon. I wouldn’t be surprised that is where it gets regulated.
Edit: Ellie, Clementine, and Yoda Baby Grogu are basically my kids at this point. Darth Gus has heat with me, brother.

Now that Arn has figured out how to not breath into the microphone. His podcast (though not particularly creative) is a hoot.
He just straight up dissed Zeus’ lazy eye. Dayam!

My criteria for what qualifies as a successful game is a bit different.
Whats going to work for me is a game that’ll essentially allow me to create a live show to call sim matches on my YouTube channel. I’ve got 18 of my buddies that I’m looking to keep interested in managing their guys career. And they stay interested based on the (almost, run ins can only be assigned AFAIK) completely simulated league and the quality of it’s output. 2k18 and later 19 have stretched the taffy as far as it will go at this point in as much as I can expect from this games to put out.
So I suspended the league for a bit due to fatigue. Still do some sporadic shows for the guys to cope with the pandemic. But I’m really waiting on “something” before I’m willing to commit to doing a full schedule again.
A game reminiscent of No Mercy would very much fit the bill, since the 64 games were what really solidified this sim league thing as being something we could watch, create get togethers, and stab each other back. Going on 20 years now.
But an updated to modern conditions and (even more importantly) EXPECTATIONS... and actually having it payoff, seems almost unimaginable. It’s also hard to imagine it being the unexpected butt secks that 2k20 turned out to be. I’m so glad I came here before I foolishly bought that game with the expectation of running a decent league. Bullet dodged.
But man... if they pull it off. I’m so fucking ready to do my show.

Just watched Endgame.
Again.
Very cathartic.

Until I handled an Oculus I had no idea just how rudimentary and sad the PSVR is, and now I'm ready to buy one with my PS5 war chest since I probably won't be able to buy one of those til after I get my 2021 tax refund
I had always heard that the headset was really heavy and distracting. It wasn’t bad at all.
That it took me a few hours to get over the vertigo was rough.

Just played a couple of games on the Oculus. I’ve never had a chance to do anything VR before.
The Vader Immortal game was pretty great. Though I am scared of heights. Climbing up the side of Vader’s Mustafar castle was super awesome.
Right now, after playing the Mission ISS game. I’m just about ready to puke. It appears I’ve no stomach for being an astronaut. Lol

Didn't Sheik also have a defence against Tito, too?
Yes! I saw it a couple of years ago the youtubes.
It was pretty good from what I remember. But I could have sworn that the match was on Spectrum in Philly. Can’t find it on YouTube. Boo.

This is the last one for awhile. In this episode. The winner of the SuperManch Tournament gets a shot at MVWF Worlds Champion Kyle Empire.

“Huey! All you had to do was SIT HERE and WATCH PORN!”

Anyone good at making show logos for 2k19? I just absolutely cannot get the dimensions right for mine. I think I need to use more padding on the text but I'm pretty limited on mobile.
I’m mostly guilty of taking other people’s stuff off of community creations and repurposing. I’m not particularly talented.
But I do understand that wherever my creations land. I spam my arena with (mostly) the same thing everywhere much like any wrestling league might do when establishing a brand.

The final round.
-
Round 5 of The SuperManch Tournament.
Featuring “Gi Man” Ryan Crawford vs. Brandon Bones. In a Fight Pit match. 2/3 in a steel cage, submissions and KOs only.
I would like to point out that the name “Fight Pit” match as some sort of modified cage match was done first in the MVWF. Just sayin’.

Round 4 of the SuperManch Tournament.
Free Agent Brock Lesnar is used as a pawn in the Shadow Kings plot to resurrect Kid Christian.

Round 3.

Round 2 of the SuperManch Tournament.

The 1st Round of the SuperManch Tournament.

Brandon Bones died in the ring, months ago at ManchMania.
Dan Crane (an old rival of Bones) was revealed to be Kid Christians father on the same show.
But now... Bones, using the magical powers of the Shadow King to sacrifice Kid Christian and place his soul in the body of Brandon Clones. A younger larger and injury free version of Bones.
Now Crane has assembled his old crew the MVWO for the first time in over ten years.
Bones (who stole the moniker of the VWA from the 6 original wrestlers from the old NES Pro Wrestling game) has also reunited with his former stable mates Johnny Uppercutt and Franklin Delano Fisticuffs.
They battle in 6 Man Tag action.

Mainly to play. I have simmed a bit but would rather just play to ensure I get the results I want. Might give simming another try though.
The real draw for me has been how surprisingly competitive and competent the matches turn out to be.
I’ve had Iron Man matches where the score switched leaders a couple times. In one instance in a 60 Min Iron Man a guy got destroyed for the first half hour only to rally in the second and came within 1 point of winning.
The key of course, is getting those settings right in both the options menus and attributes. I tend to push more defense and less in offense to give matches a chance to breath. I even experimented with some guy who had maximum and minimum attribute points. Neither turned out to be a guarantee of a win or loss.
Check out the main event in this video. Lots of great heat building, one really great near fall, and a crushing finish. Plus, you can make fun of my announcer voice.

What's sad is I feel an urge to go back to 2K19. Normally I would stick with the current version for better or worse but then 2K20 happened. But with me taking a small break from Fire Pro I may see how it feels playing that again.
Are you playing the game or using it to sim?

I saw Bear Country and Statlander at Chaotic Wrestling’s Cold Fury event in 2019. They were all pretty good.
There was another dude named Mike Verna who was on that show and recently (I think) got a match on Dark. It’s my understanding that they are all Brian Fury students.
