South Park "Tweek x Craig" Review

After the disaster that was "You're Not Yelping", South Park has really taken a turn for the better. That continues this week with "Tweek x Craig", as Matt and Trey explore one of the more popular fan fictions. This week's episode follows a very crazy episode last week, and I was interested to see how Matt and Trey would do with this one, particularly based on the premise. For those that don't know, South Park fans have been actively shipping Tweek and Craig as a pair since about season 3, and this was the first time that possible relationship was explored. Yaoi is the central theme of this episode. For those who don't know what that is, look it up, as I will not be describing it here. Anyway, Wendy's new friend and some of her friends are actively making Yaoi showing Tweek and Craig getting it on. Of course, this is entirely fantasy, but the show does seem to portray this as actual match-making. Soon enough, the whole town has heard about it...

WWE Hell in a Cell 2015 recap

I'm back for the second installment of monthly WWE ppv recaps, and this time around, I'm covering WWE Hell in a Cell. One of the more gruesome events in a few years, Hell in a Cell was one of the better WWE events this year, and I'm excited to bring you the recap. Note: This was written before RAW, and is limited as such. RECAP 1st match: John Cena US Open Challenge          Winner: Albertoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo We kick off the show with Cena's US Title Open Challenge. There were a lot of rumors flying around the internet about how would be the mystery challenger, and there was a lot of hype for this match. Zeb Colter answered the challenge, and announced Cena's opponent: Alberto Del Rio. Yep, this one came from outta nowhere. Del Rio makes his return to the WWE, while still holding the AAA Mega Title, which is interesting. The match was pretty fun, and these two have got some very good chemistry, having fought extensively in the past. Del Rio en...

(Hype) New Series in the Works

2015 has been the most successful year in my blog's history, but I'm not finished yet. The South Park review will continue until the end of the season, when I might pick up a new TV show. My Hell in a Cell 2015 recap is coming soon, with the event taking place later. I'll need to watch it, take notes, and then make the post. I'm aiming for a Monday release for that. However, as written in the title, this is a hype post for a new series that will be starting within the next month or so. So, WWE 2k16 is releasing in a few days, and I'm planning on picking it up soon afterward. Not sure how soon, just soon. Once I've gotten a feel for it, I will be starting up a universe mode on the blog, which should be a lot of fun. The plan is to have 3 posts per in game week, with Raw, Smackdown! and NXT. Monthly pay per views will get their own post. Each post will include the five matches that took place on that show, with some brief comments from me on the main event, and ...

South Park "Safe Space" Review

Alright, so I'm back with another one of these f***ing reviews, and despite the intro, I'm in a much better mood. Does my mood swing have anything to do with a strong episode this week? F*** you, how should I know. In all seriousness, this was one of the best episodes of the season. After a lackluster showing last week, Matt and Trey stepped up to the plate and kicked Daniel Murphy out of the box. This episode showcased some very strong writing, a couple very hilarious moments, and a ton of good ole South Park fun. The episode is centered around shaming, both in conversation, confrontation, and on the web. For the first time this season, there is no true main plot/subplot divide. The episode is instead broken into three sections: fat shaming, charity shaming, and Butter being everyone's b****. Not sure whether I should censor that. The fat shaming plot centers around Cartman, as he posts pictures of his body on the internet, a cardinal sin. The expected backlash follows...

South Park "You're Not Yelping" Review

This week on South Park, I write a review about reviewing. Will it go over well? Does anyone care what I write in this intro? Stay tuned to find out! Following the gentrification storyline last episode, this week focuses on the actual restaurants brought in by the city's recent efforts. I did like the look of these new restaurants, as they combine the classic South Park look with a more modern, Soda Sopa kind of flavor. However, despite some good moments, the overall quality lacks a bit with this week's episode, which starts right with the premise. At the beginning of this installment, we are treated to some shots of Gerald, Cartman and other assorted characters using Yelp as a weapon to earn better treatment in restaurants. That's the problem with this episode, you see, Yelp is not really a modern thing. Without trying to rant too much, South Park has always been hip and ahead of the times, but this is a case of falling behind in a massive way. The restaurant owners ...

2015 MLB Playoff Predictions

This was a post that was meant to go up a long time ago, but got delayed for whatever reason. It's just a brief prediction of who I think will win each series, skipping the wild card games, as those have already been played. NL NLDS: Los Angeles Dodgers over the New York Mets, 3 games to 1 St. Louis Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs, 3 games to 2 NLCS: St. Louis Cardinals over the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4 games to none AL ALDS: Texas Rangers over the Toronto Blue Jays, 3 games to 1 Houston Astros over the Kansas City Royals, 3 games to none ALCS: Texas Rangers over the Houston Astros, 4 games to 3 WORLD SERIES  Texas Rangers over the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 games to 2 In a 2011 rematch, the Rangers come out on top this time, winning their first world series in six games. DISCLAIMER: These picks were made before the postseason began: originally, I had Pittsburgh winning in the NL, so I changed it here to Chicago. It didn't effect my predictions anyway.

Henry's Top Ten Favorite Wrestlers

Since my blog has been relatively negative lately, I decided I would post a list of my top ten favorite wrestlers. This list isn't based on in ring talent, social media followers or charity work. This is a list of ten guys who genuinely hold my attention both inside and outside of the ring, and give me a reason to watch them work. Keep in mind that I started following wrestling in 2010, so I've made no attempt to list workers from before that point. With that in mind, let's proceed. 10. Kofi Kingston We kick things off with the high flier Kofi Kingston, a true gem of a midcarder in the WWE. A classic case of a talent massively underutilized, he reminds me a lot of Booker T. Obviously they share the same race, but it's more than that. Both men have impressive movesets, incredible high flying maneuvers, and are genuinely likable people. Both had periods of time where they were massively over with the crowd, Booker in early 2003 and Kofi in late 2009, but the 'E di...

Blog Update(October 2015)

I figured this would be a pretty good time to post one of these. In terms of content currently on my blog, my South Park reviews have started strong and should only get better throughout the season. I'll start posting recaps of WWE pay per views, or whatever they want to call them, including the upcoming NXT Takeover. The NHL 15 Flyers series is very close to dead, though I may try to revive it in the next couple of months. I posted a scathing review of the FIFA 16 demo a little while back, but I have been playing FIFA for years now. That game will likely make an appearance on my blog, though I don't know in what capacity. I know for sure I'll be purchasing WWE 2k16 and Star Wars Battlefront later this year, but I don't know whether those games will make it here. Beyond that, I don't have any current ideas. I was thinking of posting reviews of other TV shows I watch, like Agents of SHIELD, Family Guy, The Simpsons etc. but I couldn't find the time. I won't...

South Park: "The City Part of Town" Review

Well, I'm a bit late on this one, but I've resolved to try and get the review up sooner next time. Episode 3 is up this week, let's get to reviewing it shall we? After a very crazy episode last week, it felt right to calm everything down. One of my main complaints with TV shows nowadays is that they never give the audience a break. It's all just intensity, with no real clarity in between the scenes. Matt and Trey managed that very well with "The City Par of Town", which was a unique look at the gentrification of South Park, and the ramifications of last episode. Mr. Garrison's campaign has had it's effect on South Park, as seen through jokes made by Jimmy Fallon. In an effort to repair the city's reputation, Randy leads the charge to bring a Whole Foods Market to South Park. However, to achieve this feat, the town will need to reinvent the low-income sector, or Kenny's house. They begin an ambitious project called Sodo Sopa, which consists ...
