Impact (February 29th, 2024) – Leaping Lanny Sadly Not Included

It’s the leap day edition of TNA Impact and also the fallout from this past weekend’s No Surrender show, which I did not watch, but thankfully, there were enough recaps for me to catch up.

On a personal note, I’m feeling a bit better. I’m getting over the hump. I’m… almost ready to move on. I’m not quite there yet… but we’re getting there.

Sacha Home Movies 2023-07-24 – Frolicking In The Yard

This was recorded last July and is basically Sacha running around the yard, sniffing grass and looking for spots to relieve herself. It’s the last recorded video I have of her where she was full of energy and joy, just enjoying the outdoors on one of the few summer days that wasn’t scorching hot. I haven’t seen this footage since I first recorded it and yeah, it still hurts to watch… because these are moments that will never happen again.

The planned tribute video should be ready to go next Saturday, as other things came up during the weekend. However, regular output should resume tomorrow with a new open that’ll stick around for the rest of the month, by which point… we’ll see.

State Of The Blog – March 2024

Hello, folks.

Appreciate the kind words regarding Sacha and I also appreciate your patience while I (eventually) get through the grieving process. While I’m still not quite out of the woods in that regard, I can at least move forward and dedicate this stuff in her memory. I’m hoping to finish up the tribute video and post it some time this weekend. And every once in a while going forward, I’ll post a little piece of Sacha to remember the good times – whether it’d be unseen videos or the occasional photos with some stories to share. This is my way of paying tribute to a dear friend who has always been there when I needed her most. And hopefully, wherever she is, she found some peace… or at least, a good fluffy cloud to hump.

In any event, it’ll be business as usual with videos starting next Monday, with reviews resuming and continuing where we left off. Obviously, I’m winging it at this point… whatever comes up comes up, but I do have some stuff planned going forward that I’m hoping will get off the ground. Things are going to go slowly for the next month or so, but I’m hoping that things will eventually pick up by then. There’s a lot of stuff in the back burner that I want to give that final polish and hopefully, we’ll get there sooner than later.

As far as the Ramblemania Rewinds are concerned? I’ll be posting five entries every Tuesday and Thursday for the next couple weeks until we hit 30, at which point it’ll switch to a week-daily Monday To Friday one-per-day upload that will eventually lead us to Wrestlemania 40. As to when that will get a fresh new Ramblemania posting? Well, that depends on the show, I suppose.

Obviously, there was no DTM-Cast last month, but there will be a new one next week and another at the end of the month. Next week’s episode will touch on a whole bunch of things and could very clock in at two hours, while the end of the month episode will be a shorter Q&A episode. I’m also considering revising the end game for the program by adding a few more episodes to the run. That way, we can end the show in December and that will indeed mean that the Winners And Losers Of 2024 will be covered on the final episode of the show, which I plan on making extra special.

It’s been a bit of a trying period, no doubt, but we eventually gotta move forward. I appreciate your patience and support during this time and I hope to get back to doing some fun stuff here soon.

Later,
Dave

Sacha Home Movies 2012-08-12 – Doggy Reviews China Syndrome

From 2012, here’s a video of Sacha “reviewing” an old Atari game called China Syndrome. I had a bunch of these short videos filmed that were of a similar ilk and even uploaded a couple years ago… but I figured the joke would run dry sooner or later.

The tribute video should be up sometime this weekend and then it’s business as usual starting next week.

Impact (February 22nd, 2024) – Should I Be Worried?

Well, it’s the go-home show for TNA’s upcoming No Surrender show (no, it’s not – No Surrender was this past weekend, but let’s pretend that it’s upcoming) and from my understanding, this is the last TNA show in whatever taping cycle that they had going on. Hell of a run so far; they’ve had some good matches, they’ve done some good builds for this next PPV special or whatever it’s packaged as.

But this would also turn out to be the final set of TNA shows under the leadership of Scott D’Amore, who would soon be fired and replaced by some other guy whose name escapes me.

On A Happier Note… Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection Coming Soon!

Source: https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-battlefront-classic-collection

For those who missed out on the original Star Wars Battlefront games… you can get them on Steam or GOG for relatively cheap. And you’re going to want to do it soon because these versions will undoubtably be replaced by the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection, which will include both games, all the bonus content, online multiplayer functionality, and an enhanced Hero Assault mode that lets you fight on all the maps in Battlefront II rather than just the Mos Eisley map.

Though, to be fair, GOG still has the original Tomb Raider trilogy on sale despite also featuring the recently released remastered versions.

Hey, you know what? I’m happy to see these Battlefront games get the spotlight once more. They’re great games, I wish the company that developed them were still around so they could make more of them, and hopefully, there’ll be enough success with this collection that they might consider doing the PSP titles next, even if they are… not quite as good.

There you go… some happy news for a change. Not sure if I’m going Switch version with these or if I’m double-dipping on another PC version. We’ll have to see about that.
