Sunday Gimmick Table #6 – Pixel Player Portable System

The long-awaited, oft-delayed Pixel Player overview!

Well, one of those terms is accurate, at least.

If you’ve seen the GoGamer Portable video I did a year or so ago, you have an idea of what to expect as a result of the extraneous run time. Now in fully upscaled and blurry higher than usual definition.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2019

So in a rare feat by my standards, I actually watched a WWE PPV live. But not the whole show… instead I just sat through the two chamber matches that opened the show and skipped everything else in between. From what I’ve heard, the middle of the card, featuring a couple title changes and Baron Corbin beating Braun Strowman in a no-DQ match, was the drizzling shits. So once that first Chamber match was over, then I took some time editing the Pixel Player gimmick, which should be up sometime tomorrow, barring anything coming up that is beyond my control.

I posted some thoughts on the two chamber matches earlier this week, but just recently, with some unexpected free time on my hand, I decided to go back and watch the stuff that I skipped out on the first time around to see if it were as bad (or perhaps not as bad) as people made it out to be. Since I’ve watched the whole show, I’ve decided to take down the earlier post, expand on it considerably, and the end result is today’s bonus musings of sorts.

For the record, I wrote the bulk of this before Smackdown aired.

Reggie Is Ready… For The Old Folk's Home

Source: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/02/reggie_fils-aime_is_retiring_after_15_notable_years_at_nintendo_of_america

So Reggie, the president of NoA and the face of 1000 internet memes, is stepping down and moving on to retirement. Apparently, years of avoiding having to answer questions of Mother 3 have finally caught up with him, prompting him to take Guile’s advice about going home and being a family man. Replacing Reggie will be Doug Bowser – insert joke here – who joined up in 2015 after a stint at Electronic Arts.

Wait a minute, you mean a guy named BOWSER used to work at EA?

The fix is in, ladies and gentlemen. Nintendo is fucked for sure.

Enjoy retired life, Reggie. Thanks for the memories, the memes, and for killing everyone’s hopes of a Mother 3. Now everyone can bug BOWSER for Mother 3… or 4… or whatever. Who cares?

Regularly Scheduled MMPR Returns To Comics In Issue 40

And apparently, the series is jumping ahead to the White Ranger days… and we’re getting another “event” comic story called “Necessary Evil.” Which means it’s probably an excuse to bring back that Drakkon character again. On the flip side, it’s from the same fellow who’s currently writing the secondary Go Go comic, which is actually quite nice.

In any event, it’ll be a long wait before we get back to the title characters being advertised because the current “Grid” story is doing nothing for me right now.

“So, Thor. I want you to give me the hammer so I can have something nice to give Pepper.”

“Sorry, Stark. But that does not work for me, brother.”

OR

“I snap my fingers and half the universe is gone.”

“That doth not worketh for me, brother-eth.”

Plenty of jokes you can go with that one.

France Now Recognizes Competitive Lightsabering As Sport

If there was a Darth Vader facepalm, I would use it.

I mean, come on. They’re not even using actual lightsabers; they’re just props that glow in the dark. Where’s the limb cutting and decapitation?
