UPDATE:

I just beat Bugsy and Silver. I've been caring for sick family members recently, so I haven't had much time to play... and now I'm sick, so I'll probably try to fit as much time as I can into the game before the 30th.

CHIKARita, Lv. 14

GeodusClay, Lv. 19

Mareeyse, Lv. 15

Wooper T, Lv. 13

UltraManto, Lv. 8

Mareeyse is, obviously, a Mareep (although it literally JUST evolved into a Flaaffy); and UltraManto is because I had an idea to turn "UltraMantis Black" into a name for a Togepi, but the ten-character limit obviously hindered that.

I still think it's kind of silly to have two Lita's in there. Why not for the Attitude Era woman just use Luna Vachon, Mae Young, or Sable?

Probably because it wouldn't make sense to have Mae be competitive with the AE Divas OR the current Divas, and they may not have been able to get Luna's family or Sable herself to agree on a deal to get their likenesses.

Okay, Jesus Christ. I never want to encounter or capture a shiny Vulpix, because a shiny Ninetales looks fucking demonic.

Anyway, not much progress yet. I beat Falkner and obtained the first badge, and captured a Wooper, which I gave the uninspired name of Wooper T.

I JUST CAUGHT MY FIRST EVER SHINY :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

OK, so it was an Audino, but FIRST EVER SHINY.

Hey, Audinos aren't that bad. They're like the Chansey of Gen 5.

Anyway, my first update: I'm grinding in the Bellsprout Tower and the surrounding area of Violet City.

THE CURRENT TEAM

CHIKARita, Lv. 11

GeodusClay, Lv. 7

I can't wait until Geodus learns Rollout.

Could also just do Bring Your Own Generation, where we all play whatever we're up to playing.

That seems to be the best, especially considering how open the Pokemon series is. Besides, I started a game of SoulSilver last night and named my starter CHIKARITA,

I've got Ruby, FireRed, SoulSilver, and Black. As long as it's in any of those four generations, I'm fine.

I've been mulling around doing a SoulSilver run, so sure, I'm in.

Looking at some of the entrances. Attitude Taker doesn't have The Ministry music and the APA don't have the APA theme. Disappointing.

True, but those are only those attires. I believe Cory Ledesma has already confirmed that Bradshaw and Faarooq will also have traditional APA attires, and Ministry 'Taker is fairly likely, given that WrestleMania XV is in AE Mode and the game includes Attitude 'Taker, Big Boss Man, and all three members of the Ministry Brood (Gangrel is DLC, but he might show up in AE mode as an NPC like Hurricane did in SvR11)

And there's a video showing off most of the DLC characters.

DAT SWISS DEATH.

I really hope they try to do at least one episode with the 'New' cast.

Also, 2012 Haley Joel Osment could totally pass for a Fat Mac Avatar had Rob McElhaney not lost the fifty pounds he gained for last season.

I got the Soldier-class N7 unit. Aside from giving me Iron Man-esque vibes, it isn't that big a game-changer... at least compared to the other classes.

Nope. Just four players trying to get the Squad Goal for the most recent operation.

They should do a whole story based around Jack.

Just because, well, Jack.

Can't, she's dead...

A game based around Garrus would be good. Or a Krogan, since they're so much fun in MP.

Fun note: I recently played an MP match that was all Krogans. I was one of two vanguards, and holy sheeit, it was almost nothing but huge guns and charge attacks, interrupted by peacetime bouts of headbanging.

There's a '95 scenario for TEW05. Maybe use that as a base?

He could, but it'd be like using a Playstation game's engine as a base for a PS3 game.

I don't know if you'd be able to find one. It's like asking for a current-day scenario on TEW08; people tend to stop updating stuff for the older game once the newer one comes out.

Okay, so it turns out that the above list was faked. Here's a link to the hopefully-real thing. Unfortunately, Create-a-Submission was too interesting to be true.

Among other things, the list reveals that custom belts are making a come back (as is the I Quit match), and Attitude Era superstars can compete against (and assumedly with) their current-day counterparts.

DAMN YOU WORDFILTERS!!!

But yeah, I can count at least five things on that list that piqued my interest, the top one right now being the addition of submissions to the Create A Finisher section.

These were leaked on CAWS, so take it with a grain of salt... but the implications of some of these achievements...

Cory Ledesma has said these are BS... although he said the same thing last year when people were wondering if Brock was gonna be in WWE '12.

EDIT: Well, it turns out they are actually fake. Putting them in spoiler quotes, posting the real ones right now.

Sad to see him go. Always loved him in movies.

They at least remastered some of the MIDI tracks (I think?).

Unless they put in the piano tracks, why do that? Those tunes were awesome. Gold Saucer theme is the greatest.

No, I meant that they remastered the shitty PC-port MIDI tracks; not the console version's soundtrack.

Some guy made a program that replaces 99% of the game's music with the console version stuff, though. You've also got the choice of fan-made tracks and official covers and other stuff done by Nobuo and the like. I think there are only two instances where the music couldn't be replaced, one of which is the ending (since the music's tied to the cinematic or whatever)... and I can't remember the other.

You could probably make some kind of case for the Prime Time Players, but the biggest omission, without a doubt, would have to be Ryback. It's fairly likely, though, that Ryback will be a part of the same DLC pack that Sandow and AJ are a part of.

Is one of the Triple Haitches a Connecticut blueblood?

I'll bet the answer is no.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that the Hunter Hearst Helmsley version of Haitch is the blueblood gimmick.

All I know is that one of the first things I'm doing is making John Laurinaitis the WWE Champion. People Power!

FF7 is now out for PC again.

It should be noted that it comes loaded with DRM.

They put up "cloud saving" as a positive, but you literally can't save the game unless it can connect to the cloud storage. You can't even play the game if your computer can't connect to the internet.

Aside from that, it's pretty good. They at least remastered some of the MIDI tracks (I think?). I'm still gonna replace them with the real music, though. OWA just doesn't sound as glorious(a generosa ) without the chanting.

While TEW10 already has a completed 2007-set scenario for the Cornellverse, it's still nice to see people making mods outside the typical real-world setting. (Y)
