EclecticTastes posted:I'm surprised by how little information there is out there about WWE 2k14's actual mechanics, I just spent an hour trying to figure out what went wrong in my match against Punchy a couple weeks back, apparently it's going to remain a mystery, like every weird game thing that happens involving Punchy. Seems less like JoJo, and more like .Hack. If Punchy has especially high Grapple Defense, it might be an example of Stats Actually Doing Something, but I don't know the numbers, so I can't determine anything conclusively. Anyway, time for a quick press junket...  What a puny stable. In response, I, Dash Rendar, would like to announce my own rival stable, the Organization of Rendar Admirers, or ORA™. If EclecticTastes think they're gonna get out of feuding with me, they've got another thing coming. Unlike EclecticTastes, I don't need to stock my stable full of wrestlers to make myself look rad. Which is why my stable consists of:Dash Rendar When the crowds are chanting "ORA, ORA, ORA", you're going to be confused because my stable has the same acronym, but I got it trademarked. Ha!

EclecticTastes posted:Honestly, the main reason I'm not inviting you, Lazyfire  It's because he's a mass of mostly red and pink goo that is seeping out of a crushed car.Yeah, we still haven't cleaned that up. We could give it to Rath who will put it into his nightmare pool, and since he's roaming the parking lot he might do that anyway but we figure if we just leave it at the one spot Palpy always monster trucks around he can't crush anyone. I mean, he can crush the one guy more, which is gross and hosed up but better than crushing new people. And I sure hope no one's angry at Palpy now. Like maybe Loki. Or Immortan Joe. Or that guy who hates him for giving monster truck drivers a bad reputation. And that one guy who gets angry at people for using the phrase "you are already dead" or variations of it. Yeah, there's quite a few people. We also still don't know why we have a parking lot. We don't even have roads. Also, more importantly: John Cena sure was at Wrestlemania 9. These bonus matches have been totally historically accurate. E: Zanzibar Ham posted:

Loading times are definitely a prominent example. Seriously, how can one company manage to create a clunky-rear end interface that doesn't load until several years have passed and how can they make it worse with each iteration. And when they don't make it worse for once why do they remove the only worthwhile features of the game? IGgy IGsen fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Sep 7, 2015 |

What the gently caress is kayfabe? Smarks are the worst, they doubt the reality of this business. Anyway, since it's the new hot thing to start stables I'm gonna start one of my own. I'll call it Orgy Rave Alliance. Or ORA for short. I'm not trying to start confusion with the acronym, that's just always what I wanted to call my stable. Members will have to assume their porno names. Mine is Sexlord Coxplodo. Everyone's welcome. Except Eclectic Tastes because he's a doo doo head. And Lazyfire. Because He's dead.

 I don't know who talked me into buying a monster truck with my Candian wilderness gold hoard, but I should probably send them a gift basket or something. This thing is AMAZING. I--I can't believe you just ran over Lazyfire like that. Eh, accidents happen. There was no way I could have avoided him, he just wandered into my path. You backed over him like ten times! ...I fail to see where you're going with this, Galen. I'm pretty sure Immortan Joe and Junpei Hyde want to kill you now. Oh, Joe wants to kill everyone, nothing new there. And do you really think I'm scared of Junpei frickin Hyde? You could beat up Junpei, and your win/loss ratio's in the decimal range. (So's yours...) What was that? ...Hail Satan? There are days I worry about you, Galen. But, whatever, I'm going to take "The Force Unleashed" out for another spin. Maybe I can run over Fred Hope next. It totally counts as a pin if I trap him under one of my wheels, right? I'm legally LPFWA champion then if that happens, aren't I? I need to find a good relationship councilor... and a better boss. I wonder what Dr. Rath's a "doctor" of, anyway?

: We've all heard what happened in Montreal, IGgy, do you guys really want to associate with someone like that? You guys know me, my popularity with the fans is undeniable. Now, I know, my fans didn't exactly pack the stadium during my match with Cena, but, in my defense, I had assumed IGgy was gonna save that match until the week after the PPV, so I didn't hype the Tasters about it. Boy was I surprised when the taping started and I was suddenly being prepped to face Cena. Almost had him, too, one more pinfall and I think I could've done it, but after eight separate finishers, even fake moves take their toll.(Also, I think I realized why I haven't really seen any of my Signatures or Finishers, it's because the game doesn't go into cutscene mode when more than two wrestlers are fighting, so, because all of my matches have been group matches, interrupted, or had a special ref, I've just never seen what my Signatures/Finishers are. So far, I'm pretty sure that the standing shiranui I finished Dash with and used on Cena is one of them, as is that move I used on Cena immediately afterwards, where I ran up the turnbuckle and did a hurricanrana or something, and then also the Bronco Buster I used on Flamander, sorry Flamander, in that non-canon Royal Rumble. Hopefully my next booking will be standard singles so we can get some sweet close-ups.)

Putting the kayfabe aside, I'm loving the sheer stupidity of all this. The whole league at war over anime, solved thanks to Dragonball Z. And then Lazyfire gets killed. If he does come back as a force ghost, he's going to be a hosed-up Dr Manhattan. Which wouldn't be the most outlandish thing so far. I mean we have a fish person, a Kahjiit, a giant owl, two Kirby characters, post-retirement Palpatine alongside two redacted Star Wars characters, a zombie, an angel of some kind, a dragon-ish dude, whatever Punchy is supposed to be (an emoticon with muscles?), whatever the gently caress Nuffkins is supposed to be (???), whatever that monstrosity with the tie is meant to be (sentient massive chest?) and Says something when my brain decides that the alien is more normal than the rest of our roster. And all that makes the female division basically look like a few normal humans who would probably have day jobs if they weren't on the moon. Even when one is a coffee golem and another is actually John Cena.

By the way, if I get some people in my stable, I'll suggest this for use in sundry group entrances (like when doing tag matches that don't feature previously-established tag teams, three-man entrances, and so on). Seems eminently appropriate after I somehow managed to survive against the best of Cena's arsenal, including outright defeating the Five Moves of Doom, proving that even gods can bleed. Plus, I noticed that a fair number of the guys I invited (Zore and Fruitsniffer, in particular) have had runs as jobbers.

 Uh, not sure I should have done this, but I kinda sorta tried to perform a seance to see some friends of mine... which might have gone a bit wrong. Normally it's fine, but I think something interfered, there's some kind of destructive, malevolent force in this place. Maybe I shouldn't have set up everything in the car park next to Palpatine's monster truck. So, if anyone sees any loose spirits around, just... leave them alone. They're not dangerous. Most of them aren't, anyway.On the other hand, I somehow accidentally managed to contact Lazyfire, he says he's doing well, he's either in Hell or Valhalla, but either way he seems to be having a good time. Making it all sound like a lot of fun, actually. He's not all that dead though, his spirit still seems to be connected to both realms. Or I might have slightly brought him back. I'm not sure. If anyone actually sees him, this uh, this wasn't my fault. Definitely not me. Also, I had another message, I'm not sure how to explain, but it was from someone who stayed unnamed and featureless: It merely said "^.^" I don't have a clue what that means, but they seemed to think it was important.

 Dash, this is an emergency situation. I need your help in tracking and capturing Palpatine and his monster truck before he possibly maybe-kills a vague acquaintance of ours again. I know you're probably going to ask about weapons, and that's where I thought ahead. See, I've.... wait hold on.okay cross out the original name... "FOR See, I've recently, er, inherited a big box of bullets. Your blaster can apparently shoot all sorts of weird poo poo, according to those stories you told me while we were signing contracts or something, I figured maybe it can shoot these too. Just don't get mad at me if we gently caress up your blaster beyond repair. If something explodes before it's supposed to I think i can get a replacement real quick-like. realtalk I sent some suggestions for how to change up Face now that I agreed at the last minute to lose both the hat and the hockey mask along with the Superstar title (dropped in a trash can rather than given to Pomp, I imagine) and I would like to think people will like the new Face, but we'll have to wait and see. I also have a new ad to put under the stream once the changes are implemented and I get booked again. I'd send it out now but it kind of gives away more than I want to.

 Walter looks Eclectic Tastes over thoughtfully, as if assessing his stable offer, or possibly his dress sense. He nods thoughtfully, as if approving of one, then shrugs, as if indifferent to the other. Then he gestures at Pyroi, as if to say he wonders what the penguin's decision will be.Then, while he waits, he pulls out one of the cookies he got from the person living in Pyroi's stomach and begins to nibble on it. Apparently they were decent.

It gets a little confusing when dealing with no fewer than three layers of "realness".
