So I started a post about this before and don't know if I ever finished it. But this time I'm not gonna post this until I'm done with the whole game 8) Later games I'll break into multiple posts probably, but this game is so simple that it doesn't really warrant multiple posts.

So I've been playing Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) for the last hour+. Taking it slow, writing blog, taking screencaps and uploading them, stuff like that. I'm pretty bad at the game so it took me all this time just to clear three of the Zones.

I'll talk about this in the entry for the game, but I think I've found the "right way" (for me) to enjoy classic Sonic. I love 3D/modern Sonic because it's all about speed and reacting to hazards as you constantly go fast. Classic 2D Sonic is way too fast for that -- there's no chance to react to anything at all. Instead, it's more like a speedrun -- you take your time "routing" at first, THEN you can go fast on subsequent plays. But I'm just slowly exploring the Acts (there's actually quite a lot to explore even in the first one!) and the game is much more enjoyable.

Of course I have some complaints and criticisms, but overall I'm having a lot more fun with the game than I did last time. Inching around slowly in the game is a little annoying, as you can't just hold the walk button or you'll start going way too fast. So you have to kinda tap it off and on lol. But there's a lot of stuff everywhere so you end up getting to jump and grab rings or smash enemies or something pretty often so it doesn't feel tedious.

Also do I need an Eggman icon?!? I think I do!!

Sooooo I kinda got bored of FF6 already. Or rather I fell out of the mood for an RPG, because I started messing around on Apple Arcade and got addicted to Sonic Racing, which made me pop back in to Sonic Dream Team after learning they updated the game with a bunch of new content, and now I want to play Sonic games :P Remember when I said I was going to play them ALL and then didn't even finish the first one? Haha ... ha...

Well, I'm going to make a list because I kinda wanna try again. I didn't make a list before and, well, I love making lists, so let's list all of the Sonic games I want to play. I want to play all the games that have some semblance of plot to them. Though I don't know what all is considered "canon," I like to experience the 'full' story including "extended universes" in most series (for example Cyber Mission and Soul Eraser from the Mega Man X series are AWESOME both in gameplay and the bit of lore they add to the series).

Anyway, let's list all the Sonic games I wanna play. Will I play them? Probably not, but making lists is fun anyway so LET'S GOOOOO

Read more... )

And that's it. 40~44 Sonic games. Will I get past the first one this time?! TBH the 2D games are the hardest for me because I don't super enjoy them. Like, they're cool, but they are not as fluid and playable as Super Mario and Mega Man and other games like that of the time. They're like too fast for me XD

Some more notes/ramblings as I play through FF6 for the fourth time lol.

So I'm not going to write about everything that happens in the game like a normal play diary, I think. I'm just going to write when I feel like I have something I want to comment on. So this is just going to be a random collection of thoughts about FF6.

So, I'm going to play Final Fantasy VI again to see if my opinion of it will change. I've cleared the game 3 times in the past, and over time it's come to be known as my least favorite Final Fantasy title. Not that I dislike it or that it's bad or anything, I just like all the other ones more.

Let's start by talking about what makes FF6 underwhelming to me.

OK, Let's actually start the game!

This is a VERY basic guide to getting started building original and experimental decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket. This is not for people looking to play to the meta, but rather for people new to the game who want to try out new things or don't have a lot of cards to work with as a F2P player.

If you're just wanting a list of meta decks and what's considered the strongest, I suggest to use this guide over at Pokemon-Zone.

Let's get on to some deck building basics!

Deck Building Basics: Drawing More Cards



In TCGP, you get energy from an energy well instead of from cards in your deck, with decks being smaller than normal. This means you're not having to worry about drawing energy, and can focus on just what makes your deck run. As of the Genetic Apex set, there's no deck-searching cards, so you're going to want to try to draw as many cards from your deck as possible to increase your chances of getting what you want. There's no punishment for reaching the end of your deck, so feel free to draw as many cards as you want!

There are three cards that allow you to draw more cards from your deck: Poke Ball, Professor's Research, and Meowth.

Professor's Research is the easiest to understand, it basically just lets you draw an extra card. on your turn. I've never felt a reason to not just use these as soon as you draw them, unless you're terrified your opponent might Red Card you and you want to keep your hand at exactly two or three cards to lessen the chance of them deciding to do it.

Poke Ball puts a random Basic Pokemon card from your deck into your hand. This not only gives you a basic Pokemon which is nice, but it "clears out" cards from your deck to allow you to draw other cards you will also need. Technically you're not drawing any EXTRA cards, but it's still allowing you to draw from a curated list, which is nice.

Mewoth has an attack called Pay Day that deals 10 damage and allows you to draw a card from your deck. Meowth's 60 HP means you're probably only going to get one or two cards drawn at the most before getting knocked out, though, giving your opponent an easy lead on you. Personally I don't recommend using this except in casual Beginner stance. If you can evolve to Persian quickly you can have a bit more survivability, but you're sacrificing the ability to draw cards, so it's not super amazing. Persian, however, has Shadow Claw, which allows you the chance of discarding a card from your opponent's hand. This is very powerful against stall decks that send out something like Weezing or Snorlax to waste time while they set up, and can potentially ruin their entire setup altogether. The most popular meta decks do NOT run stall, though, so you're countering something fairly uncommon.

In short, I feel all decks need two Professor's Research and two Poke Balls. Try Meowth at your own risk.

Deck Building Basics: Basic Pokemon



The core of your deck is your Basic Pokemon, as these determine what exactly you have on the field at once, and you're going to want to get as many of your "needed" Pokemon out as soon as possible. Because we're unable to search decks like the full game and our deck isn't as big, as well as because we don't have to worry about mulligan (the game automatically gives you a hand with at least one Basic Pokemon in it at no cost to you), it's actually better to use as few Basic Pokemon as possible.

Now I don't mean using, like, one, which is the bare minimum, but I mean you don't want to be filling your deck with filler Pokemon for "just in case" scenarios. You want to use whatever your key win conditions are that your deck revolves around, and then usually a few other things to give you a few options for the early game while you set up or whatever.

More Basic Pokemon in your deck means more of a chance of drawing one you DON'T want with your Poke Balls, and a lower chance of getting one you want as your "starter." With a well-crafted pool of a few Basic Pokemon, you can increase your chances of getting exactly what you want in your hand.

Often it will be tempting to put two of a Basic Pokemon in your deck, but unless you're specifically wanting to run two of that Pokemon on the field at once, it might not be necessary.

Deck Building Basics: Balancing the Rest



Now you've got your 4 important trainers and a well-selected handful of Basic Pokemon set in stone, what's left is to decide how you're going to balance what else you have in your deck. You're going to need more Trainer cards to manipulate the field, and of course, Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokemon cards for evolution.

Personally, when building a new deck, I like to make sure any required Trainer cards are in place first. So for example, when I built my Erika deck, I made sure to place two Potions and two Erikas in the deck right away, as the deck revolves around healing as much as possible.

After that, it's finding a balance of evolutionary Pokemon and trainer cards to fit your needs. Trainers have a wide variety of uses and are generally "stronger" cards than overloading on evolution cards, but you are going to need evolution cards. If your deck revolves around a fast aggro strategy, bring along lots of evolutions of the Pokemon you need to increase your chance of drawing the one you need. If your deck is going to stall and take a long time to set up, consider using fewer since you're eventually (or rather, hopefully) going to draw one by the time you need it anyway. I go back and forth between running one Venusaur ex and two Venusaur ex in my Erika deck, as I only ever will have one on the field at once (since I'm only running one Bulbasaur and Ivysaur anyway). Two means I have a better chance of drawing it before I need it, but it comes at the sacrifice of not getting to use another Trainer Card.

Which brings us to another point -- carefully choose your cards. Giovanni is only useful if you're going to encounter situations where you NEED ten extra points of damage. If your deck doesn't revolve around needing this (like a Dragonite deck), Giovanni is less useful, and you might get better value out of, say, Sabrina or Red Card.

Deck Building Basics: Card Combos



The key to victory in any TCG is card combinations -- building your deck around cards that work well in tandem with one another. This is where most of the "experimentation" is going to come in, but here's some examples of card combinations:

Gardevoir + Mewtwo ex - Mewtwo ex's strongest move Psydrive requires you to discard two psychic energy from Mewtwo ex to use. Because you can only place one energy per turn, this would normally mean you can only use it every other turn, as you'd have to build it back up; however, Gardevoir's ability Psy Shadow allows you to place an EXTRA psychic energy on a psychic Pokemon in the active slot. This allows you to dish out 150 damage with Mewtwo ex every turn.

Misty + Articuno ex - Articuno ex is a Basic Pokemon that requires 2-3 water energy to function. Normally, this will take up to 3 turns to set up, but with Misty's ability, a lucky coin flip can set it up in one turn. Running two Misty allows you two chances at this, or with luck, the chance to set up another backup Pokemon as well.

Venusar ex + Butterfree - This is my own personal combination that's not on-meta, but still very fun. Butterfree's ability Powder Heal allows you to recover 20 HP from each of your Pokemon every turn. That means with two Butterfrees and Venusaur ex's Giant Bloom attack, you'll recover 70 HP to your Venusaur every turn. Use that along with Potions (20HP) and Erika (50HP) and you'll be able to last a long time dishing out 100 damage every turn without getting knocked out in the process.

Pikachu ex + Giovanni - This is more of a "knowing the meta" strategy than a real card combination, but there are many cases where Pikachu ex needs to deal exactly 100 damage against certain decks/Pokemon, while its Circle Circuit attack only deals 90 at the maximum. Because of this, Giovanni is a more valuable card in a Pikachu ex deck than other decks.

Deck Building Basics: Universally Useful Colorless



There are some cards that work in a lot of decks, and if you're unsure of what to do with your extra slots once you have everything you are sure you want in your deck, there's a few Colorless Pokemon that can round out your deck.

I'll just cover the main two I see used the most, so feel free to experiment with others.

Farfetch'd - Farfetch'd is used because its attack Leek Slap does 40 damage and only costs 1 energy of any kind. This makes it a great "opener," though if you don't draw it in your starting hand, it's not terribly useful.

Wigglytuff ex - Wigglytuff ex's attack Sleepy Song automatically puts your opponent to sleep, giving you a 50% chance that they will not be able to do anything during their next turn. It also boasts 80 damage which is not terrible at all, and because its requirement is colorless, it can run in dual-type decks more easily.

There are other more situational colorless cards, such as using Chansey or Snorlax to stall your opponents out, Meowth and Persian as I explained in the drawing cards section, and Pidgeot's Drive Off ability which is basically free Sabrina every turn, but these aren't necessarily good in all decks.

Basically my point is not to sleep on Colorless Pokemon. Check and see if any would do well in your deck.

Conclusion



And that's it! Hopefully this gave you a good start to building decks with what you have available to you in Pokemon TCG Pocket and will let you start experimenting off the meta. Once you know what cards you want, too, you can better decide what packs you're going to pull. For example, Gardevoir and Mewtwo ex are BOTH pulled from Genetic Apex: Mewtwo packs, so you can more easily find them there. But if you're wanting to build a Pikachu ex deck, for example, you might want to pull a few Mewtwo packs once you get your main cards to try to get Giovanni. Building a meta Articuno ex deck will require pulling from all three packs for Articuno ex, Starmie ex, and Misty.

So if you're strapped for cash or don't want to spend money, consider building from a deck you can finish mostly with cards from one pack. You can look at the Offering Rates to see what all is available from one pack's pool.

Have fun with Pokemon TCG Pocket! Maybe I'll see you on the battlefield!

Why play games when I can just write about what I'd like to do while playing a game???

Anyway, I'm obsessed with Disney Pixel RPG right now and need things to do while my stamina regens. Blasted mobile games.

Revenge of the Seven comes out in a couple weeks, and I need something to do in the meantime. A single mobile game with wait timers is not that thing. I thought about playing another SaGa game, but I don't want to burn out before RotS, and I don't want to be in the middle of a game when that comes around anyway.

So I decided to play "SaGa 0," or Final Fantasy II. I've played plenty of times and already gotten the Steam achievements, so why not go for a 'perfect game'? To do this, I'd like to have every character each have a full selection of magic spells at max level. The "problem" with this is that each character can only learn 16 spells total, and there are well more than 16 in the game. So you have to create "builds" for each character.

Soooo I'm going to be taking notes and stuff in this post. Yayfun.

marchionessofmustache: (Dad)
So just some minor thoughts; I didn't write out stuff as I was watching this time XD

1. The Slime Balls or whatever are really dumb. The "we're wacky crazy!!" gimmick is overdone IMO and both of them are kinda annoying looking LOL

2. Aron/CJ was funny, even though we all knew Aron was going to be gobbling at the end ;P

3. I'm sad that Rolando picked Midas as the new Spectacular but I kinda saw it coming. Watching him get smashed wasn't all that fun, tbh, but I also am not a big fan of S6, so maybe if it was someone else beating him up I would have enjoyed it more...?

4. I'm not that hype for Tim Storm returning to wrestling. I mean, I like Tim Storm, but he's like so old now lol. I don't think he'll be able to perform as well anymore. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

No EC3 at all this ep :(
marchionessofmustache: (Default)
Colby Corino in action. Fun match. Always enjoy a mustache match.

Wow King Bees getting some BIG love from the crowd. And they're dominating big-time early-match, too! lol her shoulders were NOT down during that countout lmfao. Either way, King Bees were really great to watch. And again another great performance from the NWA women's division!

Aron Stevens said "private plums" lmfao. Turkey Gobbler match wtf LOL

omg the who wants to be a Spectacular thing is so funny

Ooh the Troop/Koa thing is a submission match. Koa is a fan favorite. I'm a Troop fan, of the two.

I wonder if they're actually going to choose a new Spectacular????

I'm so hype for EC3 vs Talos. Two big hotties rasslin it out. Very fun match, and the little interference thing was interesting. Much respect for Jax Dane there.
marchionessofmustache: (Default)
Season 16 has begun!! I think it's kinda weird not a single title changed hands at Samhain. Though I think one did during the preshow thing that I forgot to watch. But during the actual PPV not a single one. Very strange. And then there was the whole thing with Sal and Gaagz partying with the SinMin. Was the whole them getting into Gaagz's head for no reason at all...???

Oh well, we've moved on now I guess. XD

Danny Dealz's hair is so gross lol.

Not a fan of the card for tonight lol.

Heat Seekers are kinda cute, especially the shorter guy with the receding hairline. But you know I have a thing for receding hairlines :P I'll cheer against anyone facing the S6 though. Well, unless it's the clowns. And then they follow it with a S6 promo! How awful!

Max the Impaler match :\ Sal is on comms though. TBH I'm getting so tired of Max already. All their matches are the same and they have no charisma. But the crowd loves them?

King Bees look cute. Their promo was a little awkward but I still am looking forward to them.

EC3's hair looks like Red's from SaGa Frontier.

Jax Dane is next in line for Sweet Charlotte. Are they just going to forget about the rivalry with Thom? I guess it kinda concluded; he doesn't have a shot anymore. lol it's basically the same thing but instead of saying "u have a woman, i have a belt" it's now "u have a business, i have a belt" lololol

Magic Inc in action :D and against BFT so we get to see Aron Stevens <3 Magic Jake is so hot XD Of course BFT gets cheated but it was fun to see Magic Inc in action anyway. Oh man, CJ with the punch to the junk XD

Blake Troop is cute.

I like Pretty Empowered so much XD

I don't know what this "do you have what it takes to be a Spectacular" thing is about but I'm here for it.

Kenzie Paige is so coooooooollllll. Taylor Rising is great, too. The NWA women's division is so good. This is a great match. Honestly, they outperform the men often LOL What a nice main event for the first episode of the season.

Aron Stevens demanding a match with CJ??????? LOL I can't think of any major promotion that does coed wrestling, though you do see it all the time on the indie circuit. Maybe it's more like... he's going to manage someone to fight her XD Makes more sense. Or maybe nothing will even come of this random little announcement lol.

Well, I subscribed to Triller and it seems they don't keep VODs of old PPVs. Sad sad sad. So I am resorting to a 2GB mp4 download on Internet Archive. Let's hope I don't get a virus! Only 2GB for a 3-hour PPV... I'm expecting it to be pretty low quality. Which is fine~ I just want to be able to watch it.

If it doesn't work, I might just have to read recaps and catch up on NWA that way :(

While I wait for the download (2GB on slow internet = like 2 hour download for a 2GB file XD) I almost feel like subscribing to a service to catch up on another promotion XD WWE and AEW will require cable or Sling or something, so I'll be dropping $40 on those so they're not really an option right now. It leaves NJPW or TNA really to catch up on, both of which are about $10 to sub.

Looking over the rosters, neither seems SUPER appealing atm. I mean as in no hot rasslers. NJPW has Royce Isaacs, and TNA has Mustafa Ali. Both are old favorites of mine from their time in other promos. But that's... one wrestler each lol.

TNA is weird and tries too hard to be edgy/hardcore and recruits like wrestlers with questionable backgrounds. It's really not my fav promotion. NJPW I've never gotten super into so I'm not so familiar with it, but the circuits are like mostly tag matches and there's not much story because it's treated more like a 'real' sport in Japan. And I kinda live for the stories lmfao.

Well, the download finished (seems legit!) while I was dicking around thinking about what to watch and looking into alternate sources for watching Smackdown and Dynamite, and now it's a bit late to start a 3 hour ppv, so I'm still thinking of watching another show in the next 2 hours XD

Ah I completely forgot about ROH. I'm interested in them, too. Looking at lists and stuff, it seems MLW is considered in the same tier as ROH/TNA/NWA? Maybe I'll have to get into that, too...

It's been so long since I've been in the rasslin' scene and I never was super hardcore so I'm not even sure where to start :,)
marchionessofmustache: (Default)
EC3 in tag action with his "protégée" Jordan Clearwater. I would love to ship this but Clearwater looks like a jacked 14-year-old and I can't get behind him hahaha. Clearwater being a dumbass, but thankfully EC3 was able to save the day. He's so lovely <3

Horrible clown promo. Boxes.

I haven't had ads for a while. I think maybe you only get so many a day or something...? If so, that's pretty cool of The CW. Either that or their ad servers are glitchy af lol.

Knox and Murdoch vs The Fixers... not so exciting for me as I don't really care about any of these guys XD

omggggg the weird Minister/Gaagz thing

lol I love Pretty Empowered. The girlygirl/valleygirl gimmick is a lot of fun to me, and there's three of them XD Aw, the way they treated Roxy wasn't very cool though XD also one of those kicks to WOAD's face looked like it really connected XD

Mario Paruda & Jeremiah Plunkett vs Magic, Inc. I like Magic, Inc cuz the one guy is cute and they have a cute gimmick. I have no idea who these other guys are XD Polish Power dude did a cool flippy thing. Why do I like the dumb gimmick heels??? LOL WELL I DONT LIKE THE CLOWNS

Knox and Murdoch... I'm so tired of them XD Their little interview promo thing was kinda funny though, Knox's neighbor ken XD Murdoch has a kinda sexy voice tbh but it doesn't match his look.

lol the BFT exposition at the end was kinda silly. Lots of Aron though <3 He kinda stumbled over his words a few times, and can't seem to pronounce Samhain correctly (though he tried a few different ways lmfao)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand that's it for Season 15. Time to get a free trial to Triller to see if I can watch the PPV.
marchionessofmustache: (Liberta)
Start off with a closeup promo of EC3, looking lovely and a bit scruffy. I hate to say it but he's one of those guys that probably looks better shaven. Though of course he'd look best with a mustache but I mean shaven is better than a beard. Has a great facial structure that would be a shame to hide. He's comparing a chair to a samurai sword?? LOL. Anyway he is lovely. They showed some recap thing where he got in Thom's face. EC3xLatimer ship is sailing.

clown vs facepaint opening match. -_-;

The crowd even favors the clown...

At least Vampiro is out there lol.

If I had to pick between clowns and facepaints I'd pick the facepaints but UGH I do not like them lmfao.

OK, Kamille's social media promo thing was pretty sweet XD I love Kamille.

EC3 promos are so good <3

Koa vs Thom. Is this my first time watching Thom wrestle since I started watching S15? Thom just throwing this man around. I bet Koa's back is hurting hahaha.

Sal the Pal's nose <3 <3 <3 <3 Like holy crap. OMG I JUST LOOKED HIM UP AND THIS IS THAT SAL RINAURO GUY LMFAO SLDKGJLDSKGJLDKSGJLDKSGJLKDSGJ I always thought he was cute too but he looks a lot nicer now. And back in his dorky days I didn't realize how gorgeous his nose was.

You know I was excited when I learned there was an enby on the roster, but Max the Impaler is not my fav lmao. Their aesthetic is so not my thing. I'm not into this kind of gimmick at all. Cool that the crowd gets behind them though.

S6 promo I hate it.

lmao I love Pretty Empowered. Markova-Rising is a great team, too. Not sure who I'm cheering for.

Zyon vs Jojo Siwa for the #1 contender for Natty Champs match on the main event. Cool, cool~

Was a great match, Adonis won from DQ though which was kinda boring but
marchionessofmustache: (Ward)
Starting off with the TV champ match! Zicky and Mims! Looking forward to this one, even though Mims should easily be able to mop the floor with Zicky.

Ok, Zicky held his own, definitely made himself look powerful XD He has a wild mad streak that makes him more powerful. Mims got crowned (belted?) the new TV Champion, though, as Zicky got a little TOO mad hahaha.

EC3 interview <3 He's so lovely. He talks with respect for Thom, I love it. Holy crap he's calling Kamille a demon....... omfg he just said "cuckolded" and said he and Thom are "alphas" I'm going to literally die I hate this hahahahahahahahahahaha. omg lol he said that you can only have one love in life, and he chose the belt. That's kind of... sad and lonely LOL.

EC3 I will be your love <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Spectaculars are funny... Rolando is so tiny and skinny. And with his big hair it makes his head looks so big. he's like a funkopop LOL I hate the Southern Six so I hope Specs beat 'em up. Even though they're kinda weak. Well, it was an easy victory for the S6, kinda sad XD They were kinda cruel too. Ooh, Rolando and Rush having a little tension... just a little bit after the match.

Yay laggy ads :( I got two episodes with no ads yesterday. Glitch out, again, ads!! We don't need you! I'm not going to get an RSV vaccine because I'm not over 75. And I'm definitely not getting an iShit.

I love how in interviews/promos the people who aren't talking all make the most exaggerated little facial expressions and like mouth words and stuff LOL it's so fun. Bulletproof Troop looks so handsome in his little vest and tie. So much tension between Jax and Troop. I ship it.

Vampiro promo. Not a fan of the painted face guys. Actually he seems pretty cool. OK, I don't hate Vampiro. I actually kinda like him.

Sal the Pal is cute and has a nice nose and wears pink tights. But uh the commentators are talking about how he 'drank a jug of blood' ??????????????????????????? Judais is eh. Cheering for Sal. I just pick the hot ones tbh. Judais is tossing Sal all around XD The crowd is behind Sal???

Sal bit his finger. I want Sal to bite my fingers. Judais keeps doing the annoying chant thing. Like wayyyyyyyyy too much. lol Gaagz came in and dq'd Sal, that was weird. XD I guess they are friends.

omg Rolando hahahaha he talks so big for a little funkopop twig. Looks like instead of joining the one guy he's gonna pit him against Rush and see who wins? Loser leaves town match lmfao. I tried to look up more info on Rolando on Bing and all I could find was an article saying that he was LGBTQ, but it didn't explain in what way. That's cool though.

Chris Adonis interview. His outfit is hot LOL. Looks like something Jojo Siwa would wear tbh LOLOLOL

wtf they had ads then one short promo then more ads???????? How did we ever live through commercial breaks back in the day? These are excruciating.

Daisy Kill and Talos BOTH shaved their staches. Talos still looks friggin beautiful though. Kill looks like a twerp. Hahaha, the commentators even made a comment about Talos's shaved face.

Fakeout end credits XD Why would they accept the challenge from Kratos and the other guy ????? Especially Daisy Kill who is super worn out. lmao ended in a countout. That was strange LOL
marchionessofmustache: (Default)
So I was doing some calculating out of curiosity and if I wanted to keep up on WWE, AEW, NWA, TNA, and NJPW, it would cost something like $90/month to get access to all the streaming services hahahaha.

Anyway, eppy 5.

The opening women's match was pretty cool, I'm liking this new tag team.

The Corino/Vine match was fun, Vine is cute. And of course Colby has his cute little mustache. The commentator called a lariat a clothesline at one point. I should be a commentator instead :P jk I don't know half of what is what lmao.

The interview with Aron Stevens and Knox/Murdock was fun. I'm slowly warming up to Murdoch but I still don't really like him lol. Knox is funny.

Thom and Kamille interview <3 Thom is lovely. Good little promo.

Ok I watched the rest and didn't stop to write anything hahaha. Zicky Dice is funny. If he wins against Mims that'll be... something. I'll add tags to this later because autocorrect/autovomplete really act up when I try to do tags on mobile.
marchionessofmustache: (Liberta)
OK during my cheeseburger break I looked up Triller. Seems like it's $7 or $8/month with a 7-day free trial. Not bad. No need to pay for PPVs that are over. I'm not entirely sure if they even have the old NWA PPVs as part of their on-demand library or not...? So I guess that's what the 7-day trial is for lol.

And uh, the "AEW+" subscription is not available in my region (?!) so I have no idea what it entails. Hopefully AEW programming will be part of the regular Triller subscription, too...?

Anyway, this episode started with a 4-way qualifier for the TV Championships -- was not expecting Mims to win, tbh. It actually wasn't so bad for a 4-way match; I was a little worried when Adonis went out of the ring at the start that something stupid was going to happen, but it didn't.

I am really not a fan of Trevor Murdoch.

Wayyyy too much hair pulling in the Kamille/Madi match lmao. omg what was that apron thing?! That match was actually pretty cool; wasn't 100% clear who was going to win and the ladies both did some cool stuff. I was kinda rooting for Madi (just because she's cuter).

Daisy Kill and Talos are a hot mustache duo. If they lose to the stupid clowns here I'll be so mad. It's really rare that a title will switch hands on a regular show but... it does happen sometimes, especially if they want to promote the stupid clowns. And they've been kinda hyping up the clowns :\

The clowns did a stupid ball thing that was like exactly the same as the card trick from the Magic, Inc fight lol. Annoying.

Dang, Talos is gorgeous.

... The stupid face paint people interfered lol. At least Daisy Kill and Talos retained the titles. Wasn't a bad match up til that point though.

This Brady guy's promo sucks lol. But he's trying to recruit Rolando hahaha. I wonder how this will go.

EC3 vs Jay Bradley match for the title, not even the main event lol.

Actually it was really good, though EC3 took maybe too much of a beating; didn't look great for a champ. Then the win was too quick of a tap IMO, Jay should have had way much more stamina left. Lol "it was really good" I say, then proceed only to criticize it.

lol there's like a drag queen on now. NWA is wild.

lol the tag match main event was kinda dumb. I love Aron Stevens but I'm not a fan of Blunt Force Trauma really... and then Knox and Murdoch are definitely not my jam. And dumb DQs are a boring way to end the match.

OK, the Latimer/EC3 match is indeed at the PPV XD I didn't really understand what they were talking about last episode but I guess it was that. I guess they're only on FiteTV and I think you have to ACTUALLY pay-per-view to watch those. I don't know about previous shows though? OK, I guess it's called Triller TV now. I have no idea what is going on.

I'm glad they pronounce Samhain properly lmao.

Another steal in a multi-way match for a championship qualifier lol.

EC3's promos are so good, he's so my new rasslin' crush.

lmfao omg they showed the audience during a cheer but the people they showed were a lady playing on her phone and a girl looking bored out of her mind looking around at nothing LOLOLOL

Zyon's fight was pretty cool. I like when the jobber has some charisma and puts up a fight.

I hate the stupid clown people lol.

The ads are playing this time around? I'm just typing during the boring promos LMAO

It seems like Triller has an AEW+ subscription...? I'll have to look into this and see if I want to catch up on AEW too LOL.

Ah, the Rush Freeman/Thom Latimer fight is on~~~~

Thom completely dominated. Was kinda hoping there'd be a little fight from Rush, but this might push him to have some tension with Rolando.

"warheads on people's foreheads"

The current guy doing a promo is good but I have no idea who it is LOL.

Tap, snap, or nap lmfao.

I love Aron Stevens. He's great as a manager. He wasn't so great as a wrestler, even though I loved him then, too, but he works so great as a manager. TBH I'd love to be a wrestling manager, it's like a dream job of mine hahaha.

La Rebelion looks kinda dumb; I'm not a big fan of face paint guys XD Magic, Inc looks fun, though. But I don't have high hopes for them with how much they were hyping up La Rebelion earlier.

Ugh, what a dumb main event. A common wrestling trope is like, the rivals come in and screw up the victory for the highlighted wrestler(s). And it's ALWAYS stupid and annoying lol. Magic, Inc. looked really fun, but they ended up just being punching bags, and then the dumb clowns came in and they got a cheap win. Would really like to see more of them doing well, but it seems like that's not a thing that will happen. I laughed aloud at the thing with the 'card trick' at the beginning of the match, though. That was amazing.

I didn't get a chance to look into Triller really because of the lack of ads. Not that I'm complaining about a lack of ads. I think I'm gonna go eat a cheeseburger though.
