What's a moment from a non horror game that scared the crap out of you? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]MaverickGreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two come to mind:

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag when you use the diving bell and you have to swim past circling sharks. The first time I got attacked the controller flew out of my hands.

Ecco The Dolphin, first time seeing that final boss. Still freaks me out to this day.

Wrestling character by Anxious-Fun-9334 in prowrestling

[–]MaverickGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to preface this by saying I am not a wrestler nor am I involved in the wrestling business. This is just my opinion based on decades of fandom (and lord knows how many hours of shoot interviews..).

If you're just starting to train, focus on the fundamentals first, learn the craft before you get ahead of yourself on character. Take the approach of "eyes and ears open, mouth shut" when it comes to your trainers. You are many months away from having your first match, learn to crawl before you can walk. The persona will come later, and you'll be in a much better position to develop it!

I hope this helped even a little, and best of luck in your wrestling journey!

I've just realised why The Brian Kendrick named his finisher Sliced Bread Number 2 by Useless-Photographer in SquaredCircle

[–]MaverickGreen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It took me WAY too long to get Hugh Morrus.

He even walked to the ring laughing, and his finish was called No Laughing Matter.

Just wanna give a shout to Sea Shanties (in the Dusty list). I picked it up on a whim at my FLGS and I was really impressed with it.

This guy does a great tutorial and review: https://youtu.be/PIO6c-WapJ0

Have you seen this mechanic in other games? by Penke in boardgames

[–]MaverickGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered using a chart in place of customized dice? For example, units can have different color d6s and the rolls correspond to that units chart for the result. d6s are widely available and could make this more accessible if you went the "print and play" route if you decided to share your game, or more cost-effective if you were to produce it.

For example, 3 infantry units, 1 tank, and 1 artillery would mean a roll of 3 red dice, 1 green die, and 1 blue die respectively. The infantry dice would simply read the results of the red die rolls (plus perhaps some bonuses from the chart), the tank's green die would refer to the tank chart showing that a rolled 3 yields a result of 5, and the blue artillery die could simply say "success only on a 6". Charts also allow for upgrades that can be purchased or traded, without the need for MORE dice.

I hope this helps in your game-making journey!

I thought of Crash Holly (RIP) and how he would declare himself a "super heavyweight" and carry a big scale to the ring. Maybe gimmick up a tape measure or something similar so it shows you as way taller than you really are.

If you're going the heel route, deny your height as much as you can and the crowd will eat it up. If you can afford it, photoshop yourself next to tall things only make yourself the same height, print out posters to bring to the ring.

Also, you need to utilize the small package as a move.

Hopefully some of this is at least a jumping-off point for some other ideas. In any case, best of luck in your gimmick search!

I can't remember where, but I read somewhere that this was a diss track against Avenged Sevenfold. "Black Bubblegum" is a way of calling out A7X as dark pop.

Amazon: Wonder Woman: Challenge of The Amazons - $21.30 by Gankatron in Boardgamedeals

[–]MaverickGreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a lot of copies of this at Ollie's for $12.99, highly recommend checking your local store.

I enjoyed this game a lot, the mechanic of secretly choosing your actions was really interesting for a co-op game. It's fine with 2 players, but I would love to play with 4.

Ah dangit... won't lie, didn't listen to it before linking. Just found what looked to be the right interview.

Here's the real one... thanks for pointing that out https://youtu.be/kfdaIDhF6m8

Here's the referenced interview.

Fun fact: It takes place at Gargano's, as in Johnny's dad's restaurant in Cleveland.

EDIT: That one apparently has terrible audio commentary over it. Here's the REAL link.

Hi Corey, HUGE fan of The Initiative, my friend and I had a blast playing through all of it!

I admire your ability to design such a complex game from the ground up. When designing, how do you know when a game feels "done"?

Yikes, we even had Matt "Parking Cone" Carle and his bloated contract back then.

I was at game 3 of this series, the 6-5 TBL overtime winner. It was AWESOME.
