WWE Spoiler Alert Report 01

[This post will be written very fast, so I apologise for the grammer. I'm very lazy right now]

(THIS POST IS UNFINISHED, I'M TIRED. I'LL ADD MORE LATER)

I regressed to a 14 year old boy about 7 months ago, this was achieved by watching wrestling. My previous experience of wrestling is short, I think I used watch it a little back when the big rivalry was between the Undertaker and Yokozuna. This may even be not true, due to the fact that I have bad memory. It's possible that I may have simply watched one or two episodes at a friends house, it's just everything seemed so much more important and grander back then. Events that transpited over a week, now feel like they went on for months, when I look back at them.

I don't know why I started watching it again, I guess I was bored. At first I was watching TNA Wrestling as well as WWE, but I'm not watching TNA anymore, beause the "Main Event Mafia" was annoying, and... I dunno, TNA just seems to kind of suck sometimes. Even though some of the actual wrestling is pretty good.

I now just watch the WWE shows, besides WWE Superstars, which isn't on UK TV. I could download it, but WWE shows are long, so the video sizes are large. In the time I've been a viewer, I've watched Wrestlemania 25, Backlash 2009, Judgement Day 2009, and The Bash 2009. There may have been another special, but I can't remember it. I was supprised to find that since Wrestlemania 25 (2009), theres been a PPV event every month, the most recent one being The Bash, the next one is called something like Champions Night, I think. No I cannot be bothered to do research right now. I'm not going to write about older events, because I can't remember and I can't be bothered. I'll do quick summories. By the way, even if I do write any reviews, the will be very short, it's the way I am. I like to call them 'mini' reviews.

Wrestlemania 25-

This was dissapointing, it's been the worst PPV I've seen. It was also the only one that was still an actual PPV in the UK. While other not so big ones are free in the UK.

Backlash 2009-

Possibly the best PPV I've seen, can't remember what happened, but I remember it was awesome. Essentually it was the "backlash" to the events that happened at Wrestlemania 25. Rivalries had better resolutions here, as opossed to Wrestlemania 25.

Judgement Day 2009-

This was rubbish, but not quite as bad as WM25.

Extreme Rules 2009-

Just added this one, completely forgot about it for some reason. Extreme Rules was great actually, mostly because of one of the best matches I've ever seen; Edge Vs Jeff Hardy. Edge is my favorite wrestler, even though his actual wrestling abilities aren't that great. It's just his character that is so entertaining. Though this match was the first I'd seen inwhich he did some actual cool stuff, it was good because he actaully wrestled this time, while usually he just cheats or something.

Fatal Four Way;

This was ok but forgettable. Kofi Kingston defends his US Championship and wins, I wasn't supprised, he's only had it for a little while.

Chris Jericho Vs Rey Mysterio;

Excellent match, 2nd best to the main event, which was Edge Vs Jeff. This fight was very technical, lots of good grab reversals. I watched this match twice, the second time I noticed it's prety obvious when they're whispering to each other what to do next. Especailly when Jericho is doing the whispering. I liked this though, it was interesting. Jericho wins by swiping Rays mask off while he's in mid-619 (Rays over-used, and not painful looking special move). Ray basically freezes up and hides his face, which gives Jericho the oportunety to pin him. Jericho won the Intercontinental belt in this match, the 9th time he's won it, which is the most anyones ever won that belt. I've always liked Jericho, this match made me like him more.

CM Punk Vs Umaga;

A Samoan strap-match, umm, well, it was ok, was better the 2nd time I watched it. Interesting idea I guess, but it couldn't be done very often. Would get old real quick. CM Punk, the face, wins.



The Bash 2009-

This was very good, watched it just the other day, I can actually talk about this one!;

ECW Championship Scramble Match;

Christian is pretty good, but he's getting a it repetitive. This match had complicated rules, which I can't be bothered to explain, it was for the ECW championship. Christian starts off against Jack Swagger, a 3rd fighter joins about 2 minutes later, then a final 4th a couple minutes after that. They can pin each other as many times as they want, whoever had the last pin when the time runs out, wins. Finley was the 3rd, then finally we got Tommy Dreamer, who was the champion and still is at the end of the match. I'm quickly watching the match again now, yeah this match is pretty good, it gets real mental at the end, I was glad Dreamer keeps the belt at the end. Mark Henry was the last one to join.

Kids begging for money in Harrow, that's the Halloween spirit

Millions of people shop like crazy in central Harrow, especially in the Christmas season. Yeah it is early, but as soon as it's truly winter, people seem to buy more. The main high street on weekends can become almost like that scene in Airplane, in which a guy has to fight away hordes of people asking for donations to different charities and organizations. They literally try to corner you and make you listen to them.

It can be irritating, but they have a job to do, it's just a bit of an arseholes job, that's all. But that is nothing compared to parent's making their kids beg. There is something seriously wrong with a parent, in this case a mother, who dresses up their kids in Halloween costumes, and gets them to beg for money in the high street. I'm not referring to sweets, I mean cash, in a plastic pumpkin, in the hands of a little girl dressed up like a faerie... and not actually on Halloween. Her bitch of a mother probably uses the same costume at Christmas to do the exact same routine. I've seen this for at least 2 years now, theses kids looked about 7 years old. They're going to be fairly mental when they grow up, for sure.

I feel like going up to the mother to tell her that shes seriously fucked up, and that she should be ashamed of herself. But for someone to do what she does, I'm sure she'd be happy to either spit in my face, or stab me in the neck with the knife she used to remove the security tags from the Halloween costumes. There are loads of cops in Harrow, but I'm sure they're more worried about me driving my bicycle on the pavement, than begging 7 year olds.

Procrastination

It all started when I saw a great animation at uni the other day, it made me think, 'that is me'. One reason it was good was because it went from being funny to being quite serious, in a way.

Today I wanted to see it again, so I typed 'procrastination' into Google to make sure I spelt it right. The Wikipedia entry for 'procrastination' was one of the first search results to come up. I took a peek because I'm addicted to Wikipedia, and I'd also not considered the concept of procrastinating to be anything more than a word used in light conversation. It turns out procrastination is quite specific thing, which has a fascinating wiki entry. Fascinating especially to me because it describes me exactly, and I mean it, this is me, this is really really really me, so much so that it's scary. I've been told I should see a psychologist or something in the past, I didn't like the idea but I think I kind of should now, unless I can sort myself out in the next 2 months. I'm convinced I have at least some of the physiological disorders mentioned in that entry;

Perhaps specifically this one (or lack thereof);
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_gratification

I then found the short film, which adds more to the fire;

And then there is what I am doing now, which is procrastinating and this;

So perhaps I should stop typing now... now, now... NOW... I Should do some work now. Maybe I'll tidy my room first.

Bomberman Live for Xbox Live Arcade

I only just found out that an 8 player Bomberman is available on the Xbox 360. It's playable online... IT'S PLAYABLE ONLINE!!

This is frikin amazing, I think I really do need to get a 360 and actually keep it this time. I chickened out the first time, I bought one about 6 months ago and instantly got cold feet due to the thoughts of 2 much money being spent and the fact that I couldn't think of any games I wanted all that much. I sold it the next day. This was before Bio Shock and Pacman Championship Edition had come out, I've also found out that games like Sonic 2 and (I think) Streets Of Rage 2 have 2 player online as well. More and more reasons to get a 360, get some of those points things, pay the online fee, play Xbox Live Arcade games, but hardly ever actually play normal 360 games. There are some pretty good (normal disk based) games out for it now, but let's face it, the 360 is a FPS monster. There's really not much else for it, oh, and driving games too, there's loads of them. It's gradually becoming more and more like a PC, I guess that's to be expected considering who made it.

Another thing about Bomberman; I thought my Bomberman online fantasy's had been answered when I got it on the DS, but perhaps no one plays it because no one is found on an online worldwide search when I play it. I sit the DS there for 10 minutes and no one joins in, it's so lame! ONCE one person joined, it was laggy (with one person!?) and I think I recall the dude just dropped out after 5 minutes. CRAP! But I guess games like Bomberman are always going to have lag, the 360 probably will as well.

Why Video Games kick arse

Star Wars invades Soul Calibur IV

I signed up to Destructoid so that I can leave comments, I then noticed this automatically gives me a blog type thing. So I figured I may as well post there if I'm talking about games, because that's what everyone does there. A place where people pointlessly blabber on about video games, sounds good to me. I may as well, due to the fact that between 1 to 0 people read what I write here, hopefully some more will read it there. Not that I want popularity or anything like that, but it would be nice to get more than 2 comments a year.

Here's a trailer for Soul Calibur IV, featuring Darth Vader and Yoda (I think they are from Galaxy Rangers or something, pretty obscure);

Hong-Kong goes legal and Magicbox gets boring

According to the wonderfully old-fashioned site The Magicbox, which I have been reading for many years, Hong-Kong has enforced copyright laws that sound rather serious. I can't help thinking this is a major thing, aren't the very walls of Hong-Kong made of bootleg NES carts? Here's what they say;

'Starting in 2008, Hong Kong enforces a new intellectual property copyright law that prohibits rental, sale, export, exhibit or distribution of devices that bypass copyrights and storage devices/media that infringe copyrights (such as illegal copies of games, flash carts for NDS). It is criminal to display, rent, sell and distribute mod chips, flash carts, and also illegal to modify consoles to bypass copyright protection and distribute illegal ROM images on the Internet.'

I'd like to correct myself, The Magicbox video games news site was indeed wonderful, but not anymore. Cold, hard news used to be all I needed, but since cold, hard news has become almost entirely about crap RPG's or the newest generic Xbox 360 FPS, I find myself visiting the site less often. I describe it as old-fashioned because the type of games news site we get now are usually known as blogs (I guess), like Destructoid. The problem I find with these are that they report on just about everything. If some guy from some games magazine gets fired, they'll report on it, this also leads to constant updates, most of which are crap. I need to find a site that's more to do with the newest games announcements, preferably Japanese games. I guess that's what Magicbox is, but it seems kind of boring now.
