Not on podcast one. It's on Play.it Listened to a couple. It's okay. I liked his opinion on Ishii/Makabe, though. Totally agreed with him despite being a huge Ishii fan.

I just deleted Saints Row 2 from my hd the other day. But I liked the 2 or 3 hours I played of it when I first got PS Plus. I loved SR3 so much though, so it was hard to go back to the second one.

You probably will be able to. But raiding is the most fun part of the game if you have a good team, so you should at least try to finish Crota once or twice, even if you're not too worried about hitting 32 right away.

Crowe's promos were fine in the indies because he was pissed and shouty. So while it wasn't ground breaking stuff, it was easy to buy into. I agree that he's not believable in this role. There is room for growth though, obviously. You brought up Rollins, who was just abysmal with a mic as Tyler Black, and has come a long way since then with his confidence and delivery.

Haha, that's great

I've also seen the Bray character develop since the beginning, and was really excited about him for a while, but I don't think he's really evolved as a singles wrestler since that time. To me, a guy like Neville has evolved consistently in the last 5 years. It's amazing stuff to witness. Balor's new entrance is overly dramatic, I agree. I wasn't crazy about it when he did it that first time at the Dome show a couple of years ago, but I'll admit I popped for it when he brought it at Takeover. It works way less without the over the top body paint. I do still like the guy though. Was never one of my favorites, but it's exciting to see where he's at right now.

Not a traditional uranage. Like I said, it was closer to Cena's protobomb.

I think the clearance rack line was used by Big Cass a few weeks ago. But I do think Carmella is a fun character. She doesn't act too differently from some of the actual Staten Island girls I've known. Sometimes, I feel like Itami is having a hard time trying to adjust to this new style, but I generally agree that he's a better wrestler than Balor. I do like both guys. Devitt doesn't touch KENTA in his prime either.

If it's that La Sombra school boy to a powerbomb thing that the current Sin Cara does, then yeah, that's a crazy move. Definitely makes whoever is doing it look like a strong bad ass. I've never seen Reigns do that to Rollins but I haven't followed the main roster too closely lately other than the ppvs. Prior to debuting on Raw, Reigns used to finish his matches with a belly to back to a rockbottom type of move. It was similar to Cena's protobomb which might be why he doesn't do it anymore.

Thought the count out finish was a definite, even before the match started. But that was so obvious, so I'm glad they did something a little different with the finish. You want to protect Corbin, but Neville has been the top dog at NXT until recently, and you don't want to make him look weak either, which a count out would have done. Good finish for that type of scenario. I really liked Itami/Balor. He looked so beat up by the end of it. Earlier in this thread, someone said something like "I want to see these guys get time like they would if they were wresting eachother at the Tokyo Dome" but I'm fairly sure they would have had 12-15 minutes tops at a Dome show. Now that NJPW is funding NOAH or whatever the deal is, I think a Devitt/KENTA match would have been inevitable had they both stayed working for their previous companies. I'm glad it just happened. I watched NXT live for the first time in a long time, specifically for it. If the stories are true, it was a very good Devitt/PAC match from New Japan that got both of them noticed by HHH (from Regal showing it to him), so I look forward to Neville/Balor. If anyone is curious... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZt01rQmZm4

Probably right. I had forgotten about that whole thing. I kinda fell off on following DGUSA/Evolve by the time Gulak and Busick became regulars. I'm still not totally sold on ACH for some reason, but the Styles match should be fun.

Wow, if anyone can DM that Gary e-book to me too, I'd be super grateful. If it's PDF, I will just try converting it to an e-pub file.

Between my Truth and my friends Gjallarhorn, we made quick work of the Archon Priest in the Nightfall. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the flanks once the Priest comes out, but if you're careful, the Priest is dead in 1-2 minutes.

It's pretty cool. I liked the last two NPWD shows. Last year's show was really just a way to hype Chikara's return, but Gulak usually puts on solid performances on these, so I look forward to Gulak/Remington despite not being super excited for the rest of the card. I'm actually surprised guys like Gulak or Busick aren't in ROH. (Gulak/Busick from the first NPWD is on youtube and is pretty good)

Ashley Remington is wrestling Drew Gulak at National Pro Wrestling Day on Sunday afternoon, which streams live on Youtube for free. So if you liked Castle, and wanted to see what he's like in Chikara, this might be a good match to watch.

Just beat Crota on hard. Kinda feel bad I did it without my friends. But, I got the Arc Scout Rifle! And the ship, and the sparrow. We had an ace swordbearer. I almost died when the Ogres came out, but we made it. And then I died RIGHT when Crota enraged (not sure what got me), but I resurrected and Crota died 2 seconds later. Nerve wracking stuff.

Oh awesome. I forgot Remington was a part of that Prospect stuff. Gonna have to seek it out.

Yes. He's credited for innovating the move.

I would like to complete HM just once, but I'm not too worried about the new raid guns, just happy I got one rather easily. My friend did get the new pulse rifle which he seems to enjoy. I was super into the idea of getting the crux, but not so much anymore. The Necrochasm needs a buff for me to care (I'd be shocked if it doesn't get buffed in the future). If I get the crux, great, but if not, no worries.

It's supposedly rng. Haven't finished hardmode Crota yet, but I did get the new Abyss Defiant auto rifle after crossing the bridge. It's my second primary to have burn damage (my first is Cornflakes). Anyone else have it? Thoughts? I can see this being fun to use, despite me not being into auto rifles that much.

Transistor is really good. The action, music, visuals....I'm really impressed with it. Gameplay is a little confusing at first, but it's easy to get the hang of. I still haven't finished Yakuza 4. I liked it, but just got bored with it. It's fun but pretty dated. And then Sleeping Dogs came out, which was similar but more fun. For me, at least. I haven't heard much of Apotheon, but it looks awesome.

Oh yeah, I've backed out on actual socializing due to raiding before. It's pretty bad, and I try to avoid those situations. I'd feel worse about it if I wasn't raiding with actual close friends, and some in different states (most of us ARE single, one is in a long distance relationship, and the others are just terrible boyfriends). We knocked out the Crota checkpoint in 10 minutes last night. But now, my hunter friend is level 32, so starting next week, I'm free from using the sword. Somewhat of a relief, but I started to like having the responsibility of dealing Crota's death blow.

I don't like his voice or how it sounds like he's shouting all of the time, but I do appreciate how he explains and sheds light on things. I laughed and laughed and laughed at "PUDDLERESOO".
