Henry's World

The Royal Rumble is always on of the biggest nights of the year here in Universe Mode, and tonight is certainly no different. We open the festivities with the first ever Women's Royal Rumble match, as 20 women, representing Raw, SmackDown, NXT and even those unsigned to any brand compete for a spot in the women's main event at WrestleMania IV. Who will be the first to win this brand new contest? The clock is ticking.... Universe Mode Royal Rumble January 26th, 2020 Location: Phoenix, AZ Royal Rumble 2020 Theme Song- "Gladiator"- Zayde Wolf Entrant #1- Molly Holly Entrant #2- Alexa Bliss A very intriguing duo to open the first Women's Royal Rumble, as we kicked things off with a surprise entrant in Molly Holly. The double-tough Holly was making her Universe Mode debut, and would square off two-time SmackDown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss, here representing Raw. Molly got off to a good start with a bodyslam on Alexa, though Bliss w...

Tonight, it may well be judgment day for Tommaso Ciampa and his reign as NXT Champion, as he faces the seemingly unstoppable and damn near unbeatable Brian Cage in our main event. How can Ciampa possibly hope to defeat a man who took a steel chair shot to the head without even flinching? To add on to the woes for the champ, his protege, perhaps the only man in NXT who could stand toe to toe with Cage, Keith Lee, must wrestle a barbaric Last Man Standing match against former best friend Matt Riddle. Those two matches will go on back to back, likely making it impossible for Lee to offer any assistance to Ciampa in the main event. Is Phoenix the end of the line for the duo that has dominated this brand for almost half a year? Universe Mode NXT Takeover: Phoenix January 25th, 2020 Location: Phoenix, AZ Buddy Murphy(c) vs Pentagon Jr - Cruiserweight Championship Match The Cruiserweight belt has seen plenty of controversy and tons of title changes over the past year and...

After last week's episode, which could be best described as..................................existing, I was definitely a little more interested for AD to shift to a world I'm much more familiar with. Even from the episode's title, you can see the emphasis on video games, particularly Overwatch, coming, but I don't think anyone was prepared for where the writers decided to take this one. "Brave N00b World" is easily one of the most predictable episodes of American Dad I've ever seen, at least in it's first half. Stan is ignoring Steve for work, Bullock sends Stan and the rest of the team is China to assassinate a North Korean general by playing Overwatch, they eat lots of ice cream instead, all very ho-hum kind of stuff. I thought the episode did veer a little too close to the line of just flat out being an advertisement for Overwatch at times, but luckily they kept the focus on the tension between Stan and Steve instead. But focus is the bigges...

These blog updates are becoming a monthly occurrence at this point, though I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I generally go through projects on this blog quite quickly, so I could've probably done a near-monthly update for every year of this blog's history if I really wanted to. As always, I've got a couple different things to talk about, so let's get started. First of all, The New World. I thought that series had plenty of potential, but it's pretty obvious to see that it's not really catching on.Views for the first four posts have not been great, though that matters less than the fact that I'm simply not enjoying making it. I think part of the issue is that it's a very visual series, as seeing these new teams in actual games looks extremely cool, and I just can't capture that feeling in written form. But the biggest problem is the AI, who have absolutely no clue how to operate any of those teams. I could go into further det...

I......................don't know what to say. I've barely even prepared any emotions about this episode, let alone words. Let's just review it, I guess. Well, that was one of the strangest half-hours of my life. "Tapped Out" is an episode of American Dad so f***ed up that all I need to do is just describe the plot summary to you to make you feel like vomiting. It turns out that Francine has been secretly feeding Steve breast-milk his entire life, for reasons that are never explained. I guess she just thought it was fun. Steve is disgusted when he first finds out, but when Francine sabotages his orange juice, he becomes convinced that he still needs the stuff. He then gets obsessed with it and I guess just completely regresses back to being a literal baby, and the two are ostracized when Steve is caught suckling Francine in public. What is my life? What awful decisions have led me down this path, where I have to type these words? Anyway, Francine eventually...

With only one team in the playoffs, we will be covering the Barons entire postseason run in this post, in addition to the offseason for all six teams. How will Baltimore fare against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks? It's time to find out. First Round Game 1 was pretty close, but hinged on key turnovers. Giannis had 7 steals, while bench mates David Nwaba and Tyler Johnson for Baltimore each turned the ball over 4 times, leading to a 15 point Milwaukee win. Game 2 was even more competitive, with Tyreke Evans posting 27 points for Baltimore and Jeremy Lin chipped in 19. But unfortunately for the Barons, Eric Bledsoe exploded for 19 points and hit 5 threes, as the Bucks narrowly edged out a Game 2 victory. Game 3 was defined by offensive struggles for the Barons, as big man Eric Moreland turned the ball over 5 times and Tyreke Evans went 4-12 from the floor and fouled out. Giannis and Khris Middleton combined for 36, and the Bucks took a 9 point win in Baltimore. With the...
