Blog Update- April 2021

 It's been a busy start to the month for me, with 12 posts in 10 days, including my 1,000th. The past couple days have been quiet, so I just wanted to drop in and let you know what's going on, since that type of hectic activity followed by nothing might be a little off-putting. 


For a start, as may well be obvious, I've been really enjoying my return to my Madden 12 series, putting in a ton of work in the last few weeks. That pace won't be continuing, but you can still expect to see that content popping up from time to time. I now intend to have just 4 posts a season, with the preseason, regular season summary, playoffs summary, and offseason, with the week-by-week posts completely a thing of the past. That does mean that there will likely be a long gap between preseason and regular season posts, as I have to play 16 games during that period, but I promise you that I have no intention of giving up. My initial plan for The Dynasty by the Bay was to go just 5 years into the future, but I'm having way too much fun to call it that quickly. My expectation is that I can go much further than that now that I no longer have to stop and work on a post for each individual game, so hopefully many more years are possible now. 


I do think I can function better with multiple projects going, so while my work on Madden 12 won't be posted quite as frequently, I'm going to fill the space with a return to WWE pay-per-view reviews. I got caught up in all the WrestleMania hype, so I'm excited to continue my journey through WWE history, though I won't be picking up from where I left off in 2003. Rather, I'll be jumping back further in time, all the way to 1990, to cover all the shows I've skipped. It's time to return to my starting goal of reviewing every WWE pay-per-view ever, which may mean getting through some really rough periods in company history, but I want to be a completionist. 


Next time on Henry's Pay-Per-View Reviews: SummerSlam 1990, where The Ultimate Warrior and Rick Rude complete their trilogy of pay-per-view bouts inside of a steel cage. See you soon.

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. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
