Upcoming schedule 3/2010

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well, let me start with the question nobody asked: Where's the rest of the SvR 10 episode? It's almost done, sry. Next time I think I'm going to record the entire story arc at once; Going a whole month (even if it is short-ass February) without Episode 2 following the first episode is, um, not good. I'm gonna record Episode 2 (and possibly 3) this weekend, unless I can't pry the controller away from my wife playing Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, so look forward to that. Remember, the yahoo group's where you can go if you want to effect the upcoming episodes, whenever that is.

Other than that, the schedule! I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about WAS 2 ; It looks like that list of wrestlers might never be coming back up, and good christ, it's going to take a billion years to get the matches set up without it. On the comments for the original post about the matter, a helpful reader suggested using the Google-translated wiki, which is better than nothing, but, oof. (And consider that your official pat on the ass, BTW.) So we'll see. Someone suggested closing the season on WAS 2; I'd rather not, but we'll see how it goes. Might be safer to get those requests in now.

On Saturdays, there's still a ton of Rumble Roses material that'll probably be around forever. In terms of other games, I have to say I really enjoyed Hideous Playstation Boxing Game Month (KEEP YOUR GUARD UP!!!!!). Of course, after it was over, a viewer cued me into a boxing game with women I'd missed (Agetec's oh so imaginitavely named "BOXING") - would have been nice to put up on that fifth Saturday. Well, this is what I get for keeping the games I'm going to use a surprise, huh? Anyways, I got BOXING (WATCH THOSE FEET!!!!!!) off half.com for like $6, so I'll record a match from that and bill it as THE LOST CHAPTER OF HIDEOUS PLAYSTATION BOXING MONTH MOTHER FUCKER. And after that - well, heheh.

I'm thinking of doing something like a GBA Boxing Game Fortnight - as far as I can tell, there's only two games on all the handhelds (aside from Animal Boxing) that have women in them, and these are Wade Hixon's Counter Punch and Boxing Fever. I also heard they ported Ready 2 Rumble (both original and 2) to the GBC/GBA, but I don't know if that actually has any wimmins in it. Investigation pending.

The trouble with these is that I'm always looking for a CPU vs CPU mode, and I doubt any of them have it. You've probably noticed in Hideous Playstation Boxing Game Month, I always pick CPU vs CPU if I can, for a few reasons:

- I like being surprised at the match and who's going to win.

- It's usually a squash if I play against the CPU. (See the Contender 2 videos where the CPU gets pretty much destroyed)

- It's a time saver. I don't want to spend a week practicing, say, Wade Hixon's Counter Punch just to record a single good video with it. CPU vs CPU is a huge timesaver.

So we'll see. I'm not going to leave any games out for this reason, but it does kind of cool my enthusiasm. Maybe I'll just ban anybody who complains about it. (mustache twirl)

I'm still in the planning stages on this, so, please, if you know any handheld/NES/SNES/Genesis/etc. whatever games with female boxers in them I've missed, drop me a line. I'm going to leave Animal Boxing out for now; One because I don't know how well you can emulate/record DS games, and two because beating the fudge out of furries probably deserves an entire month. Holla!

** Update **

Who'da thunk it? Both Ready 2 Rumble one and two have chicks in them. Well, there goes my clever use of "fortnight"...

** Update 2 **

Aw, this pushed the WAS Picture Pack Post off the front page. Don't forget to show that one some love.
