Sammy Guevara just wrote a multi-paragraph dissertation on a backstage issue with Eddie that the company kept quiet for a month. ...and NEWWW NXT Champion, Sammy Guevara! Edit: Now he's being hauled into a meeting with TK, Megha Parekh, and Pat Buck. Wouldn't be surprised if he really is gone...

Interim champion is way better than vacating the title. Title vacates break the lineage, and...well, ask WCW how well that goes. AEW seems absolutely snakebit this year. Hangman kinda flopped as champion, Rosa has flopped as champion. Injury after injury to major players. Britt and Hayter...

I wonder what the story here is. This is the first I've heard anything about it. In 1992 I don't think he was in the WWF yet. He was still 7 feet tall and could probably beat anybody up. I'm trying to figure this one out. Anyone have more insight?

Starrcade was pretty much a two-match show, which makes the insane buyrate even more impressive. And then one of those two matches (Nash/Giant) gets cancelled mid-show and moved to the following month's PPV, which didn't have a title match. Yeah, Starrcade itself was pretty bad. The main event...

Had a visitor: Niente was giving out otter illusions all over the place. Here's this insane Scorpiks illusion I don't think I've seen before. Unfortunately I was eventually felled by SADS. This hurt more than any death on the server because I lost my permanent beaver illusion.

Yeah, I still haven't gotten too far in Sekiro so I don't know too much about it. Still want to get to it by the end of the year. Strikes me as a game that'll take me a while to get into, then suddenly be my favorite game ever. Like Bloodborne was. It sounds like there are probably 8 or 9...

Has anyone played Live-a-Live on Switch yet? That's my next game after I finish Ys VIII, probably starting it within another week or two.

Bind Rush farming out all of the Luclin content at 40 and then discovering it was pointless at 55 when everything unlocked for free...was probably the biggest thing that made people just straight-up not want to bother with the server more. The rules and unlocks and everything else were pretty...

Any suggestions on how TF to finish Beware the Hive at 60? Even with harmshield and advanced FD, the mix of live/undead mobs and the complete overload of casters makes success very unlikely. Gave it a few tries. Surprised I got all the other updates.

Cool, I'm ordering one. Going with the blue one cause I kinda like the look of it the most. Probably should go with black, but w/e. Haven't played Switch in a bit, next game I'm playing is Live a Live though and this'll be perfect for that since it'll probably be 90% on the go. Rumble isn't...

This is really cool, didn't know it existed. I usually play Switch OLED in awkward-controlling handheld mode so this could be a huge game changer. Two things: A) Do these work with Switch OLED? Not sure if it's a different size from the normal Switch but I don't think so. Assuming it'd work...

Instead of one month at 55 and 3 months at 60, it should have been 2 months at each. We were rushed at 55, now at 60 it's too much time for the reasons you said. Also we spent way too much time sitting at 40. Should have been a 45 bump halfway through the time to 50.

Not surprised Game Informer gave it a higher score than the others. They've become a bit known for giving awards/status to things perceived as being consciously Woke. Like the Oscars does, factoring "politics" into awards rather than just merit. Basically, they're participants in Sovietization...

Got something for the statistics nerds: Starrcade '97 was WCW's highest-bought PPV ever and got about 700k buys. That number wouldn't be surpassed in the Monday Night War until some time in the following year, either WM14 or Summerslam 98, which both got a little over 700k. That ended up being...

Weird guy yeah, but a pretty decent guy, and I'd argue the best wrestler in North America at present or at least in the top 3 tier. Omega wins on performance, Bryan wins on wrestling skill, maybe Roman wins on spectacle and aura.

^ Just flashing back to the first post in this thread, 3 years ago... "Gat and the other fan-favorite characters? lol" said the devs when reached for comment

Oh yeah, also, another thing you can do in situations like that is quit out and make a backup save to reload if you lose. I didn't do that in Souls 2 (didn't really do it with any of these games until Elden Ring, with ultra-rare exceptions like Four Kings in DS1 and Blood-Starved Beast in BB)...

I heard somewhere that the lightning-reindeer (or whatever) on the way to the twin snow cats... don't stop spawning no matter how many you kill. Can you confirm that that area is actually clear-able? The twin snow cats (and the area leading up to them) is the single most nightmarish thing I've...

Haven't watched this, no plans to, I like the actress though. The Marvel TV shows just haven't really been for me outside of the tremendous Hawkeye, some of Wandavision, and the last two episodes of Loki. I can only take so much of the comedy-barrage they usually throw at the viewer, and the...

If the women's bathroom is such an important space in clubs etc for women to get away (it is), why do the same people who take this position tend to also be in favor of things like making bathrooms non-gender-specific, or letting men use women's bathrooms unrestrictedly based on their feelings...

Always got me how we got a dragon-themed expansion... and the first major boss is a puff of smoke

Yeah I'd also rank these soundtracks pretty high. They're kind of similar to Yasunori Mitsuda's work, just with a lot more vocals.

Finished Kakarot, ended up jumping right to Ys VIII when I realized it's my last unfinished Ys game. Finding it pretty frustrating (too many mobs, un-clear objectives), but it sure looks nice. Haven't gotten to Live-a-Live yet but it's probably next. Might knock off half-finished Uncharted 4...

I liked that about Souls 2, gives you an out if you're having a ton of trouble (the zone gradually gets easier). Also gives you the ability to make a zone completely empty if you want to.

How they didn't try to cast Nathan Fillion is beyond me. Nathan Drake IS Nathan Fillion IMO.

Alright, I corrected that. Could swear that guildies reported MOTM IV on CBQ though. I entirely missed that fight so I'm going by what people were reporting in.

This server was a really cool idea, and a lot of people have been having a ton of fun on it (in spite of its problems). However the abysmal execution looks extremely rushed and not well thought-out. For the next one: -Don't post potentially-impossible achievements like CBQ. Figure out what...

"I look level 1!" yeah that sounds about right. One of my big turnoffs with WoW over the years was how when I'd stick around to max out for a particular expansion (Pandaria-to-WoD comes to mind) the next one would immediately have green item drops from trash mobs that was way better than the...

I had this same thought when I read that, lawl

I regret missing out on Mischief too (aside from like, Classic and Kunark). I even got the monk epic on there. Shoulda stuck around. Hopefully next year's round of TLPs will be less of duds than this year.

Maverick. Duh.

I threw in my two cents, for what it's worth. I think that guy writing essays about GoD and "testers" might need to wear a helmet when he goes outside.

Yeah, I also think the energy is spent for most of the heavy-hitters. I still have some left to go, but in general Bind Rush seems to very close to retirement mode at the moment. I'm interested to see which guilds step up and tackle the achievements going forward.

People on that board tend to be full of bad takes. "Rajaah just wants the server to be easy!"

Yeah, Vaniki and Yelinak both seem to be dealing with a large enthusiasm deficit at this point compared to other servers. Not sure how much longer I'll keep plowing away on Vaniki. I think WoW is going to slam EQ good in the next month or so because the current TLP round (and the current live...

Even though you're taking a potshot, you're right, and the Great Commander Debacle is still fresh in people's minds. I don't think content-pushing is an issue, the issues are maintaining strong numbers. This server seems very much like a server where people went hard early and then burned out...

You'll have to ask him because I don't know. I think he was picked up in the banwave (a bunch of BR were AFAIK) and just decided not to come back. Maybe he'll turn up on here and offer an explanation because I know he reads this. Thraka is leading now and we're doing fine, farming epic fights...

<Bind Rush> is recruiting to fill out the raid force! Have had lots of server firsts (including a bunch of server first epic 1.5s), and we beat every server raid achievement that actually works. Loot is plentiful, and even alts are getting gear. We're now mostly asshole-free because they all...

What a tiresome thread. Any interesting raid kills happening?
