Retris

So now Ibushi has dropped the Yakuza bomb. He's definitely gone from NJPW, and if any of it has any merit, this might spell the end of NJPW itself.

@sombre: At least in the translations of the text messages that he posted with Kikuchi he pretty much tells Kikuchi that he's gone and talking won't change it.

Holy shit, Ibushi has left NJPW and is claiming to expose a lot of heinous shit from company leadership. I can't think of a bigger bombshell in wrestling in a long time.

Since they have not been mentioned yet: Return of the Obra-Dinn and Papers, Please are terrific puzzle games.The other thing is that I'd mention is that there are a lot of games that are originally de...

I think the bigger thing that does not get mentioned enough is that the main team is now literally just Jan and Jess, with Jeff G and Jason being in a part-time role. That's quite the difference from ...

@brian_: The whole Bullet Club at this point is weird. You've got House of Torture in Japan alongside the non-House of Torture AND you've got Jay White's Bullet Club in the US. Now we're possibly gett...

I wonder how they'll handle Bullet Club at the Forbidden Door. Will they just have the Impact guys with Jay or bring in House of Torture. I really hope it's not the latter.Ps. Matt Cardona is a fuckin...

@mindbullet: I'd say it's because people have gotten fucking tired of the AAA (open world) formula. Elden Ring challenges that formula, by making an open world game that's about exploring and not just...

@klecktacular: It was Jess reading her cringe diary bit that she found. The joke wasn't 9/11, it was laughing at how kids are awkward. The only person who made a 9/11 joke was Jeff. That's why I assum...

@klecktacular: People like to claim that Gerstmann tends to ramble but come the fuck on on, it was a single sentence and not some ten minute tirade.

It's fucking heartbreaking that Shinjiro Otani might be permanently paralyzed after a match this weekend.People really need to stop doing back to turnbuckle moves, you can't bump for them and getting ...

For me the big thing I freaking hate is bad hitboxing. It just makes trying to anticipate things a nightmare when things can do damage without connecting or not do damage while connecting.The other i...

If they don't sign Willow after the reaction she got (given it was her hometown) and the match she got out of Red Velvet, I will have completely lost faith in Tony as a women's booker.I love the how D...

@efesell: Depends on how you define fair. To be clear, the things about FromSoft games that are "non fair" (not unfair, per se) are not combat related. FromSoft really likes to do what can only be cal...

@undeadpool: On the "ultimately fair", it's weird how completely different view elitists tend to have about the games vs. how the games really are. They think it's about gitting gud, when FromSoft rea...

Wow, AEW is coming to NJPW World in Japan. Hoping AEW will repair their relationship with Impact at some point, because that had cool opportunities before AEW nuked it. While AEW has bolstered their w...

@efesell: They're fine. They lack the charm and wit of the originals, and the episodes vary in quality, but they're fine. The context is that when they came out point-and-click fans were so starved fo...

@sombre: Can't forget that they do even less of checking out smaller games, which is just the opposite of what they originally talked about. Comfy crew is kinda fun, but the podcast itself which I'd t...

@dizzyhippos: AEW has been so much better without Cody booking himself to go over new hires.ROH was a pretty bittersweet affair, because while it had the old ROH feel, a lot of ROH faces were gone and...
