RPG of the Year – 2009

It’s entirely possible that I missed some games, but I’ll say this…this list took me a good 4 hours to put together, therefore, if I missed anything, just let me know and I’ll fact check it just in case. I’m confident, however, in the top 5 and let me tell you, there are some FANTASTIC games this year. Some not so great ones, too, but mostly fantastic ones. There are 42 games this year, so let’s get to it!

Wonderpod Episode 109

This week’s Wonderpod is 100% demon free. It’s also longer than usual, which is a good thing. We got into some very good debates as well. It’s always nice when the show just kind of flows. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did. I am now off to contemplate why Skype likes torturing me so. Maybe I ate to many babies in a past life.

Peaceful Games

When I sit down to play a videogame, usually I know what I’m going to get out of it. If it’s an RPG, usually I’m treated to some nice visuals, a good story, possibly some new and interesting combat mechanics, lots of grinding and side questing…you know, the usual. Really, the same can be said for any kind of game. However, how often is it, especially lately, that you can say you’re able to sit down with a videogame and…relax?

Late Edition: TNA iMPACT “Hogan Always plays with me” -Ric Flair

We open on a video of Eric Appreciation night and how the faces dumped him into a port-a-pottie leaving him covered in Shite.

Flair stands in the ring and gives us that rousing title line. I couldn’t help but crack up laughing when that was said then after calling out Hogan added this line after being asked to be a judge on GutCheck, “I love hangin around the kids” Gotta love Flair when he says those lines.

Knockout title match with Gail and Madison vs Brooke and Velvet, and I have to admit that Velvet is putting forth effort. ONLY one clothesline so far. I lied there was one more. Brooke Tessmacher who is still amazing me with her advancements beats Gail with her own move.

RVD comes out to brag about who he is…I fast forward. Then I see The two Robs in a match against Devon again no less. I fast forward.

Well while watching wrestling I must have picked up on a American Idol feed, The Gut Check Challenge judges Flair, Bruce Pritchard, and oh my god Al Snow who is doing more than breaking up fights with D’lo argue over Alex Silva who is vying for a TNA contract. Reality TV in wrestling I haven’t seen that since well the 90’s.

Hogan gasses up Anderson by making his match with Roode a NO DQ. Because you know he’s Hogan and he’s impartial while giving it to the heels this time.

Jeff and RVD have a match and I really don’t care. Fast Forward. Note: Why don’t I care? well lets see both wrestlers could cut a promo if there life depended on it. And secondly they both have a predetermined set of move that they perform in a perticular sequence that just looks stale after awhile. So NO.

RVD wins. there. Jeremy Borash is talking about his hatred for Eric then Bully Ray steps out to you know bully Borash.

Austin Aries comes out to not save Borash but to get in Ray’s face. A good segment where Ray gets in his cheap shot.

Six man tag, Daniels/Kazarian/Angle vs Styles/Magnus/Joe where they tease the reveal of the evidence on AJ. But you’ll have to wait till next week. Good Match with the faces going over.

We have the results of the Gut Check Challenge and like a bad American Idol parody we find out that Alex Silva is getting a TNA contract.

Roode and Anderson match up and I actually care about this bout. Intense and just when Roode is going to put away Anderson, Hardy comes out only to get mic checked by Anderson who in turn gets blasted with the chair leading to a fisherman buster for the win.

Besides some painful spots TNA wasn’t that bad this week. Can’t wait for the AJ reveal.

Smackdown 05/04/12: RIP Adam “MCA” YauchSmackdown 05/04/12: RIP Adam “MCA” YauchSmackdown 05/04/12: RIP Adam “MCA” Yauch

First off, Adam “MCA” Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away. I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan. This really sucks. So since the WWE puts up their own memorium messages at the start of their shows, I am putting my own one up for the start of my reviews. He will be missed. I’m going on a B-Boy marathon this weekend.

You’ll never guess who shows up on Smackdown tonight! Oops…

Seriously, let’s just hop to it, shall we? My day was lame, started off with a flat tire, had to cancel my day gig, got the tire fixed while I watched The Avengers. At least the movie kicked some serious ass.

Wonderpod Episode 108

This weeks Wonderpod was a challenge. I am pretty convinced at this point,  that Skype has been possessed by bloody demons. Which dovetails nicely with the ones inside my body at the moment. We carried on as a group and got you a show about video games. We did not talk about Black Ops 2 this week. Hilariously that was not done on purpose. With all the chaos we just never got time. I am sure will get to it eventually.
