A more recent experiment, where I attempt to combine segments of both NES and Game Boy versions of Fire Man’s level. No charge, no slide, and only three weapons… with only one support item that you can gain near the mid-point.

Cleared out all the old levels and in the process of updating some new ones. First up, an updated version of my first Mega Maker level. If you somehow played this one before, not much has changed other than there’s a video for it. If you haven’t played it, here’s a quick playthrough of this level.

Yeah, this is going up a bit late and to be fair, that’s sort of the plan here.
I didn’t have a whole lot to say about the Rumble. The most I did was a brief results write-up and mentioned a more complete musings will be posted the following year. Well, it turns out you only needed to wait a month or so, but better late than never, I suppose.
Anyway, on with the late show…
So, if you haven’t heard the news lately, here’s a brief summation.
After 25 years of a long, fruitful partnership that is Power Rangers, Saban Brands and Bandai have parted ways and the license has been acquired by Hasbro Toys. Apparently, this new partnership is so special that it has presented the franchise with a fresh new logo. And it looks okay; more “modern” or something and much more straightforward. Clearly, a new era indeed.
Not only that, but 2019’s iteration of Power Rangers will be entitled Beast Morphers and will adapted the 2012 series Sentai Go-Busters… the one that was skipped over a few years back in favor or whatever series Dino Charge was adapting. This intrigues me somewhat; not because I was desperately wanting Go-Busters or something, but because Saban is now tasked with crafting a new series that is several years old and trying to make it seem hip and fresh.
Because the series is several years old, there are no surprises to be had here. Producers will know precisely what to expect and how to use the series to tell their new vision, which has something of an interesting premise; a computer virus striking at the Morphing Grid itself is something that feels interesting.
As for the Hasbro thing? I don’t know what to expect since I’m not a toy collector, but it’s Hasbro; they know toys, so I’m sure they’ll do some cool stuff with the franchise.
So, yeah. Color me somewhat intrigued by what’s coming… even if I’m just setting myself up for disappointment.
I’d go for a Corny face… but this suits my mood more.
Can’t they just make their shows more INTERESTING and NOT LONGER?
Maybe then people will actually buy tickets to go to the shows.
Fucking morons.
Too busy to do a proper Ramble, so here are your quick Rumble results for now…
We end the string of Royal Rambles by taking a trip back to 2000, where we go from Rocky winning the WWE championship to build to a needless Mania rematch to Rocky winning the Royal Rumble in controversial fashion and never getting that one-on-one title match at Wrestlemania 2000… sorry if I spoiled the movie for you.
In any event, this was a return to form after the rather abysmal 1999 iteration that saw Vince McMahon win the Rumble and a whole lot of bullshit follow. Not only is this a better show, it is perhaps one of the best Royal Rumbles in a long time – either in terms of the Rumble itself as well as the overall show.
I was going to touch on a much older Rumble, but in looking back at the older blog posts, I found that I never did do a “proper” musings on the 2013 Royal Rumble. And then I did a little digging as to why and that’s when I remembered why I didn’t do it… because it was the build-up to the most needless rematch in the history of anything and I never bought the show. So I didn’t watch it and proceeded to not watch it for years because it was needless, given what the end game was going to be.
But then I came across a curious post that I did around that time, which involved a man nearly losing an eye during a robbery. A traumatic event to anyone, but in his mind, the worst thing to happen to him that week wasn’t the robbery or even the eye injury, but the fact that The Rock ended CM Punk’s year-plus long reign as WWE Champion. And that did put a smile on my face. Now if that doesn’t inspire you, then I don’t know what will.
But anyway, it’s time to give this show a proper write-up… whatever that means.
I only had two twits on my little seen Twitter thing that I almost considered ditching because it’s pretty pointless… but since I use it as a quick scribblepad more than anything, it allows for quick thoughts that would otherwise be a waste of space on the blog, which I try (and fail) to keep to worthwhile material.
In any event, one Twit referred to a WWE.com exclusive interview where Stone Cold Steve Austin, after having given Vince and Shane McMahon Stunners on TV, ripped into one of the interviewers for only having one question. It was Austin in classic form; perhaps a little more rapsy due to age, but still a compelling promo if there ever was one.
Favorite line of the bit? “My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin and I actually drew money.”
The other twit that I wrote was sitting down to watch the show and then turning off the TV when Stephanie McMahon showed up on screen… because nothing gives me a headache more than another long-ass promo from the Queen of Ear Rape.
However, skipping that bit, I was able to watch the show. Not all of it, but some of it. And I can decipher five points from that show.
