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".

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...

Also, it's the debut of one of SmackDown's newest tag teams, The Revival, as they face Raw's Golden Truth. Universe Mode Main Event December 14th, 2016 Location: Greensboro, NC The Revival vs Golden Truth Goldust and R-Truth are talented veterans, but it was Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson that controlled this match.
