Merzbow

I'm sorry but I absolutely hate that Danielson Vs Ospreay poster, it's like the worst MCU fan knock up you'd see on twitter.

It's Elon Musk: The Game, never understood a single bit of cyberpunk fiction and completely out of touch with what a dystopian transhumanist world would be like. Deus Ex while not perfect really got it so much better.

I started Parasyte: The Grey which is the new big Korean show on Netflix, it's based on a late 80's manga which I love but acts as a side story set in Korea during the same alien invasion. It's not bad at all, a bit daft but I still adore the monster designs with the parasites taking over the heads of humans and shaping them into the wildest weapons. I miss Migi from the original though.

Who's he gonna even sign? EC3, Austin Aries and Drake Younger?

Someone turned on the Wild Wasteland trait, no one turns that on on a first play.

Forbidden Planet are selling off all their AEW stock at a huge discount now, seen them in both Coventry and Birmingham stores for £6.99 a figure.

This is a very cool little find, it's no wonder that it never made it to full production as it just doesn't work as an arcade title.

I don't even think it's really people that play the game that are mad, it's the right-wing 4channers that latched on to the novels and lore.

There was a moment last year where Twatters were up in arms about potential female Space Marines only to have an original WH artist rip them to shreds in comedic fashion, they stupidly called him a "tourist" and that he knew nothing about the game... until they realized who he was.

I was apprehensive about Civil War, not sure if it would go down the complete cartoon Trump route but it really didn't. Trailers didn't do it justice and just focused of the admittedly amazing action but it was everything in-between that also made it such a beautiful film, one of the best lookers from a pure camera work perspective I've seen in a while. Cailee Spaeny is a star, single handedly made Priscilla good and added so much here, too.

Yeah it directly alters the code, I had some alternative device called the Xplorer on PS1 and I only ever used it to fuck with the Smackdown games. Like adding new match types that broke the game, somehow a barbed wire ropes one that looked awful and didn't really work..

I didn't have one till many years later and one came with a NES I bagged from Cash Generator, I like how they advertise one plugged into a bootleg cart here, probably one of Codemasters unofficial games.

Aside from barbed wire I'm not sure how many weapons are actually gimmicked, glass in mainstream wrestling definitely is but some of the shit in deathmatches seems to be legit.. light tubes definitely are and there are only certain sizes that many guys use. I think it's the thinner ones they usually stay away from as the way the break means you're more likely to just get impaled one on.

It does feel like a desperate attempt to get countries that were siding away from them to get back on board 'cause "Iran Bad".

I've only watched the first episode and to be honest all the "look! you know this from the games!" has put me off a tad, all that fan service isn't much different than lazy nostalgia bait to me.

Didn't Terry predict a few things like that long before they really came to fruition?

Well.. my name is Merzbow. Spoilered because it makes your eyes go all funny. Also, because in the pre-internet era this probably tricked so many people in to picking it up thinking it's some easy listening Jazz.

That Onita is spot on!

Russell the crow.

They need to update them to something that looks newer than shite you got on your 3DS when it was first released or get rid entirely.

There's a new set of those Hasbro-a-likes, only Billy Gunn looks great imo and Hunters face is all fucked up.

Isn't it getting reshown during the IMAX fest thing? Or was that last year? I know they're showing Oppenheimer for three quid which I'm going to catch.

I'd imagine it's more that Tony is too starstruck rather than nice, but that's probably for the other thread.. Hook leaving though, has NXT had a turn around yet since Vince leaving? I could definitely imagine him as someone who'd thrive there, he'd have killed it in the black and gold era.
