So I picked this up yesterday - mainly for the GoT mod - but I've been playing the base game as a way to teach myself the ropes... and stuff went to hell fast before I stopped for the night.

I was playing a game in Ireland. At one point, I tried having another leader be assassinated; it failed, and I was assassinated shortly afterward. My closest heir was my oldest son, who I had recently imprisoned for instigating a plot to have me killed. So that son took over my land, but due to me still not quite understanding how to fix up things in the line of succession, my second-oldest son took over the other area I held.

I ended up capturing the second son and executing him at six years old, winning me back those lands... but I was then killed shortly thereafter by an assassin.

few WWE notes: some overness adjusted, face/heel turns depending on the feuds (e.g. Big Show is a face for now as he is feuding with The Shield), starting storylines added. Also if someone could answer this for me, do WWE still use the brand split? i'm tempted to remove it as its pretty much the same people that appear on both brands, and its been happening for quite awhile now

They do, but it basically stands in name only. There are still RAW-branded workers and SmackDown-branded workers, but everyone can appear on any show anyway so it's not a big deal. I'd keep the split in anyway, mainly because of the focuses; RAW is very much more mainstream-focused than SmackDown is.

Oh, and the X/X-2 remasters are "70% complete"

In other news from the article, we can confirm that the remasters are indeed the International versions of the games.

So does that mean that the Dark Aeon sidequest and Penance are in the game?

Enjoyed SR2 the most. Sure there was ridiculousness in it, but it was also serious in the right ways, in the right moments. Storyline actually mattered y'know? SR3 got the controls right, and I enjoyed the combat, but the story felt like a parody.

And the way they killed off Gat? C'mon man.

Oh my god, yes. That was fucking awful. I didn't even know Gat was actually dead until the Syndicate twin girl joined the Saints and there was some stupid throwaway line about Gat's death.

I'm not looking forward to this. I mean, it might be fun, and I realize that looking for story in a Saints Row game is a stupid idea, but I'd at least like consistent characterization - i.e., I'm hoping that nobody gets as ridiculous a random personality shift like the one Shaundi got in SRTT.

Can you add TCW (Traditional Championship Wrestling) because that's a company now. They are fairly entertaining. I'd like them with roster and logos if you can. Thanks

You could probably help by linking to the site. Or by doing some of that work for CC.

I think if you play a lot of Blitzball, a guy in the bar in Luca will give you the World Champion, Wakka's Celestial Weapon; and I believe one of the items he needs to power it up is a prize for a Blitzball tournament.

So I was part of a match earlier where I and the other three players were all Geth Juggernauts. That happened, and it was glorious.

I'd actually been mulling around the idea of doing a Blaze Black nuzlocke diary in the Cube, but never got around to it.

If I could find a way to take good screen shots on a DSlite my HeartGold game would have been in the Cube days ago.

And now that I've started to take a look at the BlazeBlack 2 hack's documentation, I'm probably going to take the first little bit in BB to get used to this Rotation Battle thing and jump over to BB2 as the improvements in gameplay in vanilla makes the hack just that much better.

Plus any hack that gives Farfetch'd a Fight/Flying type and turns Delibird from a gimmick to a legit use is alright in my books.

Well, I'd figure that worst-case-scenario, you could use it as a way to strengthen your descriptive writing ability. Nuzlockes are typically done to tell stories, anyway.

And that BB nuzlocke is just one on a growing list of things I end up researching waaaay too much to never end up really doing.

I really don't see this year's game being too terribly different from WWE 13. Cory Ledesma is back as creative director, and many of the other staffers who worked on WWE 13 are back. They're trying to push out WWE2k14 for this fall, so it's reasonable to expect no earth shattering changes this year.

2k15 though is where it may get really interesting.

As long as we can actually get two-counts (and Aubrey Sitterson doesn't try to play the bug off as a feature), any potential WWE 2k14 would already be a lot better than WWE 13.

Going to be getting the last DLC, just a shame it's not going to add anything extra to the ending. Some kind-of teaser for ME4 would have been nice, ala Arrival and all. Granted, Arrival wasn't nearly the best DLC for 2, but still

I agree, but if ME4's not a continuation to the Shepard story, I can see why they wouldn't potentially want to put a connector between Shep and the new protagonist.

And the discussion about multiplayer makes me realize I should rename my krogan Soldier from "Ares" to "Tektora". I really hope Battleground picks up again some day soon. That was fun (and likely the closest thing we'll get to a Mass Effect MMO for the time being)

Last night made me wish that Ron Swanson was my father.

Also, I loved Abed's quiet "I hate you." when the Study Group saw Pierce's American version of Inspector Spacetime.

It's literally the first thread you see in this forum. Bill1996's February update.

I'd send messages to the scenario creators. You're less likely to find any advice regarding WreSpi mods here than you would over at GDS.

Which game was it where Trish won the WWE Championship?

'07, I believe. IIRC, it was the same game where Candice Michelle was able to turn you into a woman.

Yes and Yes but...

It was all a dream... Or at the very least a post concussion related fantasy.

I forget; I know Candice carried that wand around in reality, but did she ever use it to win matches or was it some weird unexplained thing she carried?

I'm in HC's boat; I can't be much help, since any of the knowledge I had of wrestling in 2004 is in things you've already done; but if you need grunt work done, like adding in new workers, setting up title histories, etc., I can do that..

Possibly add TNA Gut Check as a dojo?

Why? None of the people in who participate in the Gut Checks are actually unknowns, and they then go to Ohio Valley Wrestling.

Two of the proposed eras wouldn't make sense.

Attitude Era would work, but first off, what are the Reality and PG Eras, and how do they differ from any normal time? You could make a case that recent years have potentially seen a decrease in both TV and PPV ratings, an increase in Male, Speedy-types, maybe an increase in Comedy-based products in this 'era', and possibly an increase in Soft Drugs usage.

I don't know what you'd call that, but "Reality Era" seems like it could work (though not for the "Yeah, Punk's shoot!" hysteria that Punk was able to coin that name during).

When talking 'bout Reality Era, I was talking about the era also known as Ruthless Agression Era. One of my favourites, it started in 2001, when WCW has been bought by Vince McMahon, and the content was different as the Attitude Era content. The end of the Ruthless Agression Era could be on 2006 or 2007, when John Cena've been drafted to RAW with the WWE championship. There have been major changes, such as there were no more bikini contests, etcetera. In fact, it changed to the PG Era or the Kids Era. Drug policy is more strict as it was before, there's more comedy in the shows. In brief, it's family content: PG content.

Both of those are WWE-exclusive examples, though. Eras influence entire game areas, not just one promotion. Although WWE's toned themselves down since they adopted the PG rating in August '08, you still have, for example, TNA featuring Mr. Anderson hanging out with nameless hookers who perform floaty handjobs on crotch-level beer bottles.

Hey Captain,

Nice mod, I freaking love it! I only got some questions for ya.

It is possible to get 2012 awards in the database, eras like Attitude Era, Reality Era and PG Era with their consequences on wrestling world? It could be realistic for our games.

Something good, but not that important, some Hall of Immortals inductees in the database.

Thanks a lot, man.

For the Awards i normally get them from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Wrestling_Illustrated_awards#Wrestler_of_the_Year and regarding the Hall of Immortals im happy to add more, who do you have in mind?

Sorry for the Hall of Immortals, it's all good, I was confused by another mod he hadn't inductees in the HOI. For the awards, it's all good, I took them to edit the database myself and did the 2012 awards. What about the eras? It could be interesting for our games.

Agreed, but only if it's an option and not an overall easing-down of an entire game.

Random question; does anyone know if you can trade Pokémon between a DS and a 3DS? Even if its Black to White 2 etc., not to Pokémon X/Y

I'm pretty sure you can do a 3DS-DS trade with Gen 4/5 games...

So could this mean a giant overhaul for the WWE franchise? I'd love to see huge changes honestly, as much as I enjoy the "Smackdown" games, they're fucking stale. The Attitude Era was an awesome mode, but after that it felt like the same game I bought in 2010.

Well, Cory Ledesma's apparently been sacked. Don't know if that's a sign of things to come, but it's certainly a major development.

The doll isn't creepy at all.

Even when he's not trying to take a 'creepy' picture, he takes a creepy picture. That's fucking amazing.

I've literally been sitting here for a minute or two, trying to come up with something, anything, to say. And I just can't.
