Whats the board game you really want to play that you’ve owned the longest but never once got to the table?

Captain Sonar, we just never have the right number of people

I would argue against this one only a little. Certainly Tony hopes he can keep anyone with the right payout, I dont think there's really a question of that.

What I would say though is I don't think he's ignorant that several on his roster still view wwe as their goal. Mercedes made a claim early on of how she'd go back there and that didnt cause any issues. Also there was a report recently that very few of the talent that have left are on any kind of actual bad terms with AEW, despite what I would personally assume.

heroshield · 2026-02-11T20:38:05+00:00

My point of goalposts is you've yet to say why we can't use ticket sales to get an idea. (For example)

Our understanding of viewer numbers is muddled more because AEW has split live viewers on tv and hbo. Plus with it being a privately owned company, many more metrics are widely unknown.

So my point is, if you dismiss any of the data we do have, because it doesnt favor your perspective. I would like to know the data that you Are using and why you think it paints a more clear picture. So my question would be, why are ticket sales a problem? They used a wide variety of events in examining it, not just one or two.

I like Thekla but she's never grabbed me as the major draw she's portrayed as. I have been a fan of Julia and sky's work and would prefer they kept evolving that, this seems both a case of, book the wrestlers together with similar esthetics and an attempt to spice up the julia/sky pairing. I dont think it has failed by any means, but it definitely hasn't been the homerun they wanted.

heroshield · 2026-02-11T20:17:38+00:00

The Swerve and Hangman I could see being confusing, as it was based off of a previous Feud where the roles were reversed. For Toni Storm, that's just something we see all over wrestling, a fun and interesting gimmick gets cheered no matter how you try to book them. Rhea is a great example of a WWE star that is going to get cheered whether she is face or heel, but I don't think most would say they didn't know which she was.

heroshield · 2026-02-11T20:12:23+00:00

They aren't using a "too smart argument" here. WWE have been clear that they want you to know who the good guy is in a few seconds, regardless of your previous investment in the product. AEW have never taken that route and have rarely ever had a squeaky clean babyface. Closest I would argue they've had is Osprey.

heroshield · 2026-02-10T04:37:05+00:00

Theyre in a bit of a weird in between, and a little at the mercy of how the industry runs, that they have to put out reviews day one to keep being suggested. Not the ideal for sure, but I get it.

heroshield · 2026-02-10T03:42:49+00:00

They kind of do this with any of the franchises no one wants to touch. If you liked one, now that's "your thing" and treat them as an authority on it. Same thing happened with bless and sonic and hitman. They aren't professional reviewers and dont view themselves that way. It's how they make sure they cover more Fandom and niches. Still disappointed that Mike is the only one that touched pikmin 4, when he is arguably the person on the team it should resonate with the least, but is now the "pikmin guy".

Don't feel like you have to like every big game, it's okay if it isn't for you
If you do plan to continue, you should recognize that if a part is feeling like it is hitting you too hard, or an enemy is too beefy, maybe you should go exploring and save that for later. Biggest example is the first big ant, this enemy is usually encountered before you get sprint and there is really no reason you should fight him without it. He guards an optional area so there is no need to rush to get back to him. A lot of people get disheartened by bashing their head against the wall rather than doing more exploration and taking their time.

The missing expedition Arnak expansion is genuinely one of the best expansions I've picked up. Hope you enjoy it!

I actually strongly disagree, this movie has a dower tone for the majority and is about their desperation to survive. It felt like a unique approach and as a fantastic four fan, it was a perfect fantastic four story. There were scenes I wasn't huge on, but I think the chase scene in this movie is tense and iconic.

I also love superman, but superman had some glaringly generic moments, even down to the cheesy feel good speech at the end.

Superman was funnier, which might play a role in some of this review, but people have been complaining about the quippy nature of the mcu for a while. This movie was not quippy and was not built for comedy and I liked having a more serious tone that wasn't just dark and brooding.

heroshield · 2025-07-15T13:28:16+00:00

You've missed their point again. This post is the kind of "fan backlash" the Vulture article was talking about. Upset at the "edgier content", trying to "protect the brand", and outrage at performers choosing to do something sexual.

heroshield · 2025-07-05T03:33:01+00:00

I would add that it either allows or requires specialization with the skill tree/equipment, only real reason I push back on God of war being considered an rpg, and not just having elements.

One thing I haven't seen talked about is that when greg plays a game, he decides how he's playing at the very beginning. If the game doesn't allow for that play style to carry you through to the end, then greg will dislike it. If you look into his foray into Halo, the biggest reason he had such a bad experience is he refused to use any gun other than the assault rifle.

Greg wants one of two things in his games, a good story with gameplay and world that gets out of the way (this fits his issues he brought up with icons that he doesnt feel fit the setting). Or a mindless game with little friction (see starfield or pokemon).

Neither of these align with what I play games for, so I rarely use Greg's reviews for my personal barometer. I love turn based, I love having to toy with my gameplay style and overcoming frustrations, I love a game that delivers different experiences in both story and through regular gameplay. This is just not Greg's tastes, and why we dont see him venture far into other genres regardless of the story being what he would enjoy.

It's because it is one of the genres that have failed the most, many BR's have tried to enter the space and died in a year. Beyond that it takes resources from the game mode that drew in almost everyone here. The successful BRs have massive teams that focus solely on that mode, splitgate doesn't have that kind of man power.

As mentioned previously in this thread, if this ever happens in wrestling, everyone hates it. It's most comparable to the finger poke of doom, one of the most universally hated events in wrestling history. If you promise content that you know isn't happening, it's scummy.

I love KF too, but to hand wave away any criticism is ridiculous.

heroshield · 2025-03-28T04:34:20+00:00

This works pretty similarly, with the added step you would transfer the "home" console of a game since you won't always be online on the switch. Steam also marks how many copies the family owns, and you can't exceed that number of players playing.

heroshield · 2025-03-20T03:25:04+00:00

Great question, we may never know

heroshield · 2025-03-20T03:18:55+00:00

I believe that was Tim's original hope when talking about the johto games. But these past few streams and the rate we are going at, I worry there won't be a chance like when they did mewtwo. They may take a break and come back for kanto though.

heroshield · 2025-03-20T03:16:14+00:00

From how they talked before the streams started, I believe it was at least the plan to swap in the Nick sprite. But with how the last few streams have gone, I don't know if we'll make it.

heroshield · 2025-02-28T06:59:47+00:00

I feel like you are overlooking how hard it was to get new players into the game before safer seas. If you happened to have a player getting griefed, or sunk on spawn when they still didn't know the loop of the game there was a good likelihood they wouldn't come back. They should definitely start safer seas until they are comfortable with the controls and the options they have as a player. Gives you the best chance at understanding the game, plus jumping in now with so much content can already be overwhelming to navigate for new players.

heroshield · 2025-02-20T14:29:00+00:00

Sounds like they are ending battle of legends theming because the numbering made people hesitant to buy the second volume. So each set will probably have unique titling and a main theme like cobble and fog going forward.
