Blog Update- April 2020

Apologies for not posting anything over the past week or so, as I'm sure you can appreciate, these are strange and scary times and I just couldn't focus on doing blog work, plus I was somewhat burned out after two and a half months of pay-per-view reviews. When I last left you, I mentioned that I had a new series in mind, with the plan to start that up at the beginning of April. Unfortunately, those plans have fallen through.


I've wanted to do something with the soon to be released Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 when it was announced last year, and my original idea was to start that up at the beginning of May, and do something shorter to cover for April. I had thought of doing something on Madden 20, or finally start up a series with Football Manager or Out of the Park Baseball, two games I've wanted to cover for the past 3-4 years, but my biggest issue was with timing. I didn't want whatever I did to still be going by the time May rolled around, so I would need to really pump out the content and I really couldn't take my time to make it the best it could be. I tried to work out the timing issue, but days passed with me lacking motivation and inspiration, and eventually I just threw in the towel. A short term series just isn't my thing, so I'll just wait for TEW to drop at the end of the month and go from there.


I thought that would leave the month of April completely devoid of content for my blog, but then I got a miracle. American Dad is returning after a 7 month hiatus, returning on the 13th for what should hopefully be weekly episodes. If that's true, then I will have three reviews posted on here for the rest of the month, and I might also post some of my initial impressions of TEW 2020. So while I won't have a ton of content for you guys out this month, it's a lot more than I feared I would have. Good news in these trying times. Stay safe out there, and I'll see you back here on the 14th for my review of American Dad's comeback episode, "100 Years a Solid Fool".

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...
