I ramble about things.

Good Lord, That Was Worthless…

John Cena overcame the odds, making his match with Brock Lesnar at Summerslam a title affair. Try and act surprised when that gets announced tomorrow.

Miz is IC champion, even though there’s no reason for him to exist anymore. Seriously, is there any appeal to the guy that makes WWE think we should care about him even though his best days have long since evaporated.
Rollins vs Ambrose didn’t happen because this was a “not special enough” special event… although to be fair, it just means a potentially bigger platform for them to feud on.
AJ retains the Divas title in a match so embarrassingly awful that it makes Sharmell vs. Jenna Morasca seem like Flair vs Steamboat in comparison.
Has any considered that the reason the WWE Network isn’t doing so hot (among other reasons I wouldn’t mind touching on in the future) is because nobody gives a rat’s ass about the current product? And as such, it’s not much of an incentive to sign up for?
Why does this show exist again?

Fun With Outrun (GG)

Some gameplay of Outrun for Game Gear; I’m playing the Vs. Computer mode where it’s an actual race to the finish rather than the standard driving. (Spoiler: I lost. No surprise there.)

I’ve been experimenting with trying to record gameplay on a Game Gear with camcorder for the purposes of authenticity when it comes to the video review stuff. The quality is passable for the most part, but it’d get to a point where I would constantly fidget about and the screen would end up bouncing all over the play in shot… and that’s when I said, “Forget it. If I need footage for non-GB or PSP portables, I just use the appropriate emulator instead.”

My CGR ID Card For The CGR Website

My ClassicGameRoom.com profile for those who care can be found (2024 Update: Not here, as the link is no longer valid due to CGR having changed their web site a couple years later during the downsizing of the company.)

Nothing of note, thus far, but I’ve been updating the collection onto the page, so…

Constant work in progress, of course…

AVGN Movie Trailer #2 is out…

The picture pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

I’m not gonna link it. It’s on YouTube somewhere. I’m sure you’ll find it. You’ll probably like it… which means you probably won’t like what I’m writing here.

You know… my expectations weren’t exactly high when the movie was announced, especially when it would revolve around E.T. for Atari 2600 and the whole landfill thing (that was discovered and excavated in real life, by the way). And when the first trailer for this thing hit, my initial reaction was that it looked decent on a technical level, but I still wasn’t sold on the story being told… or the acting, for that matter… but I’ll reserve final judgment on the finished product.

But after watching this second trailer… how do I put this delicately as to not fray any weak-minded fans of that particular franchise?

Just To Hammer My Previous Point…

This is the original teaser poster for the Angry Video Game Nerd movie, as featured on the Cinemassacre website. I’ll save you the trouble of clicking on the link to the older posting and just repost my thoughts here, since they’re pretty much the same now as they were back then…

“It’s a nice looking poster. Mostly monochrome, mostly dark, but I rather like it.

“Unfortunately, the poster also does a good job of misleading me into believing that this is going to be something of a dark horror comedy sort of film rather than the schlock that the teaser trailer has been showcasing. In fact, a dark horror comedy film starring the Nerd character has the potential to be the much more interesting film that could potentially give that franchise a worthwhile production. I know Rolfe could pull it off if he wanted to… but he won’t.

“And it’s a shame, because in my mind, that’s probably what he’s best at.”

And after watching some of Rolfe’s older stuff, I still find a Nerd movie done in the same fashion as those older films to be the more potentially interesting film than whatever the fuck that thing is he’s trying to pass off as a movie.

Okay, I’ll shut up about this now. Enjoy the teaser poster, folks.
