Aw, this is such an interesting thread idea, my hopes were set way too high for honest replies lol.

As my dad used to say, "that man has more balls than brains". I don't know if that book idea was ballsy so much as brainless. Don't forget, we're talking about the guy who, at the height of a murder controversy, thought it would be funny to jokingly jump out at a reporter with a banana and pretend to stab her to death. Which, in the Juice's defense, was hilarious in the darkest possible way, but also powerfully stupid. Haha

New pack in the air, this gas or what

I don't think we'll see any insanely long title reigns in the next little while, it was clear that people were getting tired of the Roman and Gunther 50-year title reigns, and it's time for a change of pace. If I were a betting man, I'd say that Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes will hold the titles for a fraction of the amount of time that their championship predecessors did.

I liked it. It was basically exactly what I expected, but that's not a bad thing. Anything else likely would've been "a swerve for the sake of a swerve" Lot's of title changes, lots of unexpected little cameo appearances, lots of expected "surprises" (seconds before Damian Priest's music hit and he cashed in his Money in the Bank, my brother said "now watch, Damian Priest will cash in his Money in the Bank and win the title")lots of over-the-top stuff that wouldn't make sense in any other context. I thought it was fun. I see a lot of fans complaining about how it all went down, and how this and that didn't make sense, why was ____ or _____ there, why wasn't ______ or ______ there, etc etc etc. To those people I say "who cares, just enjoy wrestling". It was the best post-pandemic Mania in my opinion for sure.

This is the most niche thread ever lol

I knew what this thread was going to be before I even clicked on it. lol

If there's one thing about inside-joke humour on NintendoAge and now VGS, it's that it's all very, VERY deeply inside.

That's what I'm doin'. I have nobody to leave it to, throw it all in the lake or set it on fire the minute I kick the bucket. lol

Free bump for the MC Hammer reference.

He included a free crack pipe? Wow, he must've known what you were paying for TG16 games and assumed!

Yes, it has a very unique learning curve. It's extremely steep and front-loaded, and then.....that's kinda it. It drops off a cliff and leaves you to your own devices for the rest of your play time. I'm still playing it 20+ hours after the credits have rolled.

The game I've been glued to the last few months has been Dave the Diver. Dudes, I'm telling you, it's definitely my 2023 indie gem of the year and you're robbing yourself of a great experience if you don't give it a go. The game isn't easy to describe, as it's probably the biggest (and most successful) mish-mash of totally different genres I've seen since like, Actraiser. But while Actraiser really only had two genres to juggle (action-platformer and city-builder), Dave the Diver has many. The game is all at once a: Metroidvania Diving/fishing/exploration game Restaurant management sim Farming sim Visual novel Idle clicker Minigame compilation And honestly many more little genre cameos such as racing, casino/card games, and puzzle games. The core gameplay loop is pretty simple: Dive into a magical fishing hole that refreshes with different types of marine life every day, and use whatever you catch to create dishes for the sushi restaurant you operate at night. At first I heard of the genre mashup and thought "ehhhh, a sushi restaurant? Pass", but then the online hype for the game just became too much to ignore, and boy am I glad I finally caved and gave it a shot. So yeah, if you've got $20 burning a hole in your eShop or Steam account and you're looking for a super solid game that'll keep you busy for around 30-50 hours until the credits roll (and indefinitely forever after that), give Dave the Diver a shot. I friggin' loved it.

Yes, the structural engineers for the city in question need to have their professional designations revoked. There's simply no way rock n' roll would have the foundational stability on which to build an entire city!

I've missed my calling as a video game titler!
