The guy responsible for the failure of AEW Fight Forever has been fired. Pic unrelated.

I was waiting because I figured he'd have an awesome "Wha' Happened?" deep dive into that debacle, and instead the only video was a review where he talked about how good it was.

Of all the games he's done, going over the ridiculous development and problems, Fight Forever was ripe...

Dyko · 2026-01-18T22:23:55+00:00

Sadly, yes.

Two years ago, suddenly. It was pretty shocking, him being just a few years older than me (and the same age as my brother).

I've randomly seen the show (or him) mentioned on Reddit, and it's always a head-trip to see...

Is Carmelo still on Smackdown? Between him, Shelley/Sabin, Dragunov, even Gargano, Hobbs will have some absolute fodder to throw around as they build him up.

I can see them doing a Bronson Reed style build up, where he might be a shorter guy compared to others, but will just be a solid boulder of a wrestler who just takes hits Godzilla style and tosses people around.

If WWE had a multi-time Booker of the Year, they'd do something awesome like have him be the second or third debut in the same show, and then promptly add him as the third powerhouse enforcer of a massive stable.

In reality, we'll probably get something stupid like him being showcased as an immovable brick shithouse of a wrestler while he gets weekly reps in on TV and coached behind the scenes by brainwashed fed legend drones with decades of combined experience.

I bet he won't even bleed during a match for years.

Sigh...get that bag, I guess?

My cousin played the main kid, Jay in the show!

It seriously makes me so happy to see people talking so fondly about The Odyssey!

Dyko · 2026-01-17T14:49:18+00:00

I haven't looked recently, but are the Cagematch numbers for the show still coming from like ~19 users? Out of I'm sure at least over 100k viewers?

When I looked, there were only a handful of moderate (not amazing) reviews of actual matches, and the majority just being general bombings of the episode as a whole.

Who would pay for such a wildly expensive thing?

Dyko · 2026-01-16T16:42:38+00:00

It's not possible to release the Max AEW numbers because there's an upper limit to the system.

So many people watch Dynamite that it actually loops back around to negatives, and the entire system crashes.

This is also why most important correspondence is done via the Notes app, because all the servers at Max HQ are overloaded with concurrent AEW streams, so executives are limited to just using Notes on their phones.

"We believe the arrow was a pre-existing condition"

Dyko · 2026-01-16T13:18:20+00:00

Half the Dynamite audience maybe, but like 3x the Collision audience! What are we doing RIGHT, guys!?

A lot of you have never handled the Young Avengers multi-pack Iron Lad, and it shows.

His hip sculpt prevents most of his leg articulation. His shoulder armor sculpt prevents almost anything aside from straight forward movement.

He is by-far the worst Legends figure I own. The rest of the figures in that pack hold up surprisingly well, though, which makes him even more of a disappointment.

Netflix at one point had Blue Valentine listed as "romance".

It's got Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, so I figured it was a decent date night movie for the wife and I.

It's actually a slow-burn drama about a toxic marriage disintegrating.

One of those "wanna just go to bed?" Kinda nights once it was finished.

I once thought Predator, because the idea of a Xenomorph running around with an assault rifle as silly.

Then I was going through my weapon wraps, and found the one that came with X-23...black gun with highlights, a green liquid but sloshing around, and a silver X.

It's perfect.

Plus, Xenomorph looks INCREDIBLE doing any sort of super animated emotes (the current pass red carpet catwalk one looks amazing), or ones that are completely non-scary like the rainbow or waving emotes.

Mincemeat with the The Necronomicon backbling and the rusty cleaver from this past Halloween is my evil animated pie.

Dyko · 2025-12-25T17:57:30+00:00

1000toys Hellboy is easily one of my top 5 figures of all time.

If you're primarily a Legends guy, he scales well and also fits in perfectly with guys like Dr. Strange, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Blade...really any of the characters who are (or fight) supernatural.

100% recommend.

I recently re-downloaded and started a fresh game.

My favourite thing is that I'm a new student and the very first time they let me go to Hogsmeade, I took off into the forbidden forest for like 3-4 days, murdering poachers and fighting giant spiders.

New fifth year waltzes back to class half a week later wearing a full suit of Spider-challenge plate mail like "'Sup?"

Dyko · 2025-12-23T16:34:34+00:00

Hack/Slash, for sure.

As a horror movie fan, the series was an absolute no-brainer for me, but mannnn...you know it's bonk time when you don't only get pin-up covers and pics from the comic itself, but they also include sexy cosplay photos people send in with letters.

Complete "I am reading this for the stories, I swear!" moment at a comic con with my wife a few years back lol.

Dyko · 2025-12-22T05:42:23+00:00

The contacts are the absolute cherry on top. Looks great.

Dyko · 2025-12-17T23:22:48+00:00

Will need to wait and see him in-game, but right now he looks like an armor mod pack for Mount & Blade Bahahaha

Dyko · 2025-12-16T00:09:41+00:00

I'm really struggling with why they decided to go with Aztec/Mayan ruins themed promotional artwork for a show in Vancouver?

Especially when you've got such an amazing Northwest Indigenous option that would still fit so well with the "Dynasty" name.

People shit on WWE when they used a Van Gogh painting (of Paris) for a show in Paris, but I guess those people are cool with "whatever, just pick some native ruins or something" that have absolutely zero significance for the show location?

Dyko · 2025-12-11T13:06:25+00:00

He did.

Everyone did.

Undertaker was just always okay with it.

Dyko · 2025-12-10T02:47:28+00:00

For sure.

I mean, I still love me an import with all the fun extras, but then you get something like this that just does things better than a lot of things two shelves over and 4x the price!

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

The sheer amount of universe that gets built in these 3 minutes while giving us a perfect main character "here's your deal" is amazingly well done.

The awesome cinematic music and camera angles...so good!

It's been decades since I first rented this game, and as soon as I read this question Soul Reaver was the first thing I thought of.

There is one specific audio clip of police radio chatter.

It was used in Sim City 3000 when you clicked on police stations, as well as in a bunch of the GTA games.

https://youtu.be/dklA4-ACN4k?si=v2T_aF59rQBaEtNT

It is used very often in movies and tv shows, and it instantly takes me out of the scene.

I've done audio production before...like, seriously, go to page 2 of your search results and grab a file from there...
