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.

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...

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!

Lost and Found: The Legacy of Bray Wyatt

On August 24th, 2023, the professional wrestling world experienced yet another devastating heartbreak, as Windham Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt, passed away at the age of 36. Wyatt has a number of accolades to his name after over a decade spent in the WWE, having won the namesake championship once, in addition to competing at multiple WrestleManias. That's the cliffnotes version, the driest form of exposition to summarize one of the most captivating careers we as wrestling fans have ever witnessed. But Bray's legacy and impact, brief as it was, is truly one of a kind.  "Potential" was the buzzword for Bray from the very beginning, and even at his earliest stages as a performer, it was impossible to ignore. Bray's early days spent tagging with his younger brother, the future Bo Dallas, in the soon-to-be defunct Florida Championship Wrestling passed without notice, but the two third-generation progenies found the spotlight quickly. The grassroots of NXT formed under their...
