Welp, it’s finally over. The end of Wii Shop. For real this time.
Full disclaimer: this is a slightly revised version of a blog post that was done last year, edited to today and for the purposes of video. I wasn’t planning on making this video, but the idea came up and I figured why not. If you want to read that old blog post, you can do so here.
We end this year’s run of Royal Rambles with the 2005 PPV. And with that, all that’s left is anything I didn’t cover after 200 something. So this is it… the final Royal Ramble for the year not counting this year’s edition, which will probably come about on Sunday
Yeah, JDF on the thumbnail doesn’t instill much hope.
But yeah, from the Legacy War mobile phone game folks comes another fighting that is most definitely NOT Legacy Wars. None of that rock-paper-scissors nonsense; just straight-up “accessible” fighting game mechanics… whatever that entails.
So another Power Rangers fighting game, huh? I’m cool with that, actually. Let’s hope it turns out good, but considering the track record of recent games in the franchise, I’m keeping my expectations firmly on the ground.
NXT signs G Raffe to a contract… or not.
This G Raffe thing is going to be big, brother.
For most fans, 2002 is the year where WWF began to lose its allure, so to speak. The Monday Night Wars are over, the Invasion was a bust, and suddenly, people were longing for an alternative. At this point in time, however, it’s the Royal Rumble season featuring the return of Triple H, after being on the shelf for months due to a quad tear. And this would be the year that he would go from HHH to McSon-In-Law and be the focus of some truly horrendous television.
But I’m jumping ahead here. Let’s get on with the show.
Same shit, different big guy.
I’m confounded by the lack of news regarding Ataribox. Isn’t it supposed to be out a few months?
Speaking of Atari, I’ve played my Atari 7800 for the first time in a long while. First game I fired up was Enduro. Good times.
And yes, there will be Atari reviews… they need love, too.
Good morning, boys and girls. A post of random musings, updates, and thingamabobs.
The past couple weeks has been pretty time consuming and aside from some text posting preps and some background work, I’ve been keeping off the blog work for a time and even managed to get a bit more sleep, which is what I needed. Me folks celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and we had a rather small dinner at this Portuguese grill on St. Hubert. Nice place, good food, loves their salad, wouldn’t mind going there for another festive event one of these days… but not too festive. We got them plates and a fruit basket. They enjoyed it, it was fun.
Now that all the holidays and anniversaries are in the books, things are slowly returning to normal and less money will be spent. Thank fuck for that.
So this week, I start audio dubbing on a number of videos. This does NOT include the Pixel Player project; I’ve done dubbing on that on and off for some time now. But in terms of future reviews, DTM Rambles videos (those are coming back after a lackluster 2018 – got a few of those in the can already), and possibly a couple other potential projects, the text based material is prepped and I just need to turn that stuff into audio.
The reviews are basic stuff; a couple puzzle games, a couple quick titles, and there’s going to be a week’s worth of Atari reviews because they’ve also had a lackluster 2018 and need to be in the spotlight. After all, Ataribox is coming soon… or something.
Regarding the Pixel Player Project… I’m debating whether I’m going to release it as a single video or split it into smaller chunks. The video is going to be in HD for the most part, but it’s entirely possible that I might reduce it to a standard def video (do people even call it that anymore?) if the file size turns out too heavy. After all, most of the video is composite video recorded onto DVD and blown up into a massive video frame for extra blurriness. Also, Vegas 15 is newer than what I’m used to (despite being the older one), but it does sometimes show signs of Vegas 14 when it comes to rendering needlessly complex and long video files… by crashing at inopportune times. We’ll see how it goes in the future, but for now, the plan is a single video on February 24th, 2018 as part of the Sunday Gimmick Table series.
While we resume normal operations in February with the promise of daily posts – whether it’d be videos or things of that nature – things will only start formulating a month or so later. Eventually, I’ll want to have regular features fill out the blog in some form or fashion. It’s a hobby, but I want to give this my all as a personal exercise of sorts.
Well, that’s the story for now. Time to get back into hibernation.
Later.
Rolling into the 2000s with the 2001 Royal Rumble, perhaps one of the better Rumble shows that I’ve seen live. Let’s see if it still holds up.
