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".

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

Henry's Pay-Per-View Reviews: ECW Heatwave 1998

As the world collectively loses it's mind over the coronavirus(this could be a fun intro to look back on in the future), the only sanity that can be found is in the ring. Let's take a look today at what is often considered ECW's finest outing, Heatwave '98. - Jokes aside, everyone should stay safe out there. I know it's easy to panic about these mass outbreaks, and I've certainly felt very nervous about everything I've heard and read over the past week. But I think we all need some fun in our lives right now, and this show is the epitome of distraction. - The opening contest is one of the highlights of the night, as Jerry Lynn takes on Justin Credible. Credible has an entire entourage in his corner, including Chastity, Jason and Nicole Bass, and their involvement in this match at times bordered on excessive. But the match begins to hit it's peak when Lynn puts Credible through a table with a hurricanrana, and it's all fantastic from...

Curious Crab

One Monday night my mom looked into my crabitat and found that a crab had climbed into one of my fake trees. It was in the top branch. I looked in later, and found that the crab had fallen out of the tree. I hope he is okay. What a day!
