>:O

So, you may remember that last year I got a new video recording device. Unfortunately, having (a year later, cough) gotten around to actually using the thing, I can't really recommend it. The recorder itself works great, but it has one single fatal flaw - the recorder puts out divx video. Guess what file format the fucking software bundled with the recorder can't handle? Yeah. Div fucking X. I was like (see image at left). So this means that if you want to edit the file at all - say, to remove the little bit of load screen that got captured because you had to hit Record early because the video recorder has some start-up lag and otherwise it misses the first couple seconds of video - well, you're shit out of luck; Off to Google to see if you can find a free DivX editor, sucker. Which is what I'm doing now, by the way - that's how much I love my fans; I'm wasting an afternoon fucking around with Video Pad Pro or whatever to cut out four seconds of loading. You may appreciate my sacrifice now.

So long story short, that Roxio devicewas a bust. Next up I got my eyes set on this - anyone who gets it for me gets a year's worth of requests.

What the what?

Here's what I logged in to see today:

The YouTube Community has flagged one or more of your videos as inappropriate. Once a video is flagged, it is reviewed by the YouTube Team against our Community Guidelines. Upon review, we have determined that the following video(s) contain content in violation of these guidelines, and have been disabled:

• WAS 2 Beauty Ichigaya vs Chris Morgan - (RyonaKing)

YouTube makes limited exceptions for appropriate educational, documentary, artistic and scientific contexts, but only in limited circumstances where the purpose of posting is clear and any nudity it is not sexual in nature.

Your account has received one Community Guidelines warning strike, which will expire in six months. Additional violations may result in the temporary disabling of your ability to post content to YouTube and/or the permanent termination of your account.

For your reference, a copy of this message has also been emailed to the address associated with this account.

So, uh. I don't get it; I'm not really sure what community guideline this is apparently violating. Nudity? Is one-piece bathing suits nudity? Violence, because there's barely-animated wrestling moves? Is this a Chris Morgan hater who's mad that she lost? Well, if YouTube upholds this COMMUNITY STRIKE, I guess there's nothing to stop people from flagging all the other WAS and WAS2 videos, which should get my account terminated. Since they're, uh, against some guidelines? Needless to say I appealed this, but I don't really have much to go on since they don't actually tell you which one of the guidelines it violated, so I don't even know what horrid content it supposedly has; Hard to say more than "lol what does this violate" considering how vague the guidelines are and how little information I've been givn. Anyway, I don't have high hopes of the video getting reinstated, but we'll see. Stay tuned.

** Update **

Gonna post this on Viddler as part of the sadly growing Too Hot for Youtube collection:

For fucks sake!

Really? Really???

** Update **

Whoever photoshops a burqa onto Reiko here gets a month's worth of free requests. (Click to enlarge)

** Update 2 **

Okay, I guess that's kind of a silly idea. Gonna put up a poll where YOU, THE VIEWER, can choose what my next YT background that YT can moronically pull down in two months will be. Ugh.

Ripoff alert! Bwoop! Bwoop! Bwoop!

Do not - I repeat, do not - purchase this DL Site product. Don't make the same mistake I did. The author, for some reason, decided to ruin this black and white boxing comic by putting a big, colored, circular watermark in the middle of every fucking page. Suffice to say, this makes the whole thing unreadable and a total ripoff. This is what I get for actually purchasing products. Jesus christ. Well, buying anything from this guy is a mistake I won't be making again, and you shouldn't, either. This has been a public service message.

Arrrgghh

Well, guess whose hard drive went and fucking died with no warning? Yeah. The last time this happened, the drive started slowly dying, and I was able to copy everything off it. THIS time, it just went "lol im ded" and everything on it is gone.

You may also want to notice the time stamp on that last post: January 2010. It's now August 2010. You can figure out how long my piece of shit new external HD lasted. Fucking Seagate piece of shit. Thanks for the seven whole months you went without breaking. Don't buy Seagate, unless you want to end up like me, or the guy in that picture, or both of us. God damn it.

Anyway, so, new video recording's on hold while I re-download seven month's worth of dirty videos pirated games home movies and software that fell off the back of a truck. So that tournament mentioned one post down is probably going to be a while. Until then, there's still a lot of matches in the can for you to enjoy.

Jesus.

Almost forgot: For some reason, spammers were apparently very excited by that tournament announcement, so I'mma turn comment moderation on for a little while. Boof.

** Update **

Google apparently finally noticed that word verification wasn't stopping spam comments, so maybe I'll turn it back off. Either way, if you see your comment waiting for approval, don't flip.

Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggh

Well, I hate to keep posting bad news all the time, but here's some more: My department at work, which is normally four full time people plus four part-time people, is right now down to one full time person. Guess who that is. (big Al Gore sigh)

So the long and the short is, video production is going to continue on pace (spyware infections nonwithstanding) - but you might notice a dropoff in anciliary activity like responding to comments, etc. All's I can say is, if someone out there wants to offer me $$$CASH MONEY$$$ for recording obscure/unpopular wrestling games, well, I'm all ears.

On the flipside, I've been messing around with the Rumble Roses body/muscle sliders - expect more info and hopefully a video (or two!) about this soon. And yes, I know, I'm WAY behind on the Smackdown vs Raw videos. Some advice for aspiring Smackdown vs Raw video directors: Don't make your wife your head-co-writer, then let her get addicted to Star Trek Online. She's promised we'll film another episode this weekend (malware attacks permitting), so we see. Horf!

What to do about WAS 2

So as you may have heard, Tryfirst took down all the webpages about Wrestle Angel Survivor 2, including the crucial page that I use to actually look up the wrestlers so I can select them in the game. It's been long enough now that I don't think the page is coming back up, unfortunatly, and recording WAS 2 videos without it is going to be a major pain in the ass, if it's even possible. I haven't recorded any videos since the site went down, and my cache of in the can matches is winding down, so I'm thinking about what to do, and I'd like to hear from YOU, the viewer (upon whom, by the way, any possible blame is placed). Here's the options:

- Continue on as before: Use the translated Wiki page and keep recording matches and posting them every Wednesday.

- Continue at a slower pace: Use the translated Wiki page but record less matches, and slip WAS 2 matches into the rotation of videos uploaded on Saturdays along with SvR, Rumble Roses, etc.

- Go back to WAS 1: The original Wrestle Angel Survivor page is still open, so I can still record these.

- End recording WAS 2 matches: Annouce a end date to get your final requests in, record and post these, and call it a day for WAS 2.

- Just stop recording WAS 2 matches and post what's left in the can.

There's your options. Vote up:

So what's the deal?
	Just go on as before
	Keep recording videos, but put them in the saturday rotation
	Go back to WAS 1
	Annouce a end date, record all the last requests, and be done
	Stop recording and just post whatever you have left
pollcode.com free polls

If you want to explain your thinking, leave a comment; I want to hear from you guys on this one.

** Update **

The world's greatest hero has provided me with a document that translates everyone's names; after printing this, it's even easier to select the wrestlers than it was using the original TryFirst webpage. So bear that in mind with the poll. I'm going to leave it up anyway just to see if people are getting sick of WAS 2 any time soon. (I'm tending to think yes since there's no comments on the last WAS 2 video posted!)

** Update 2 **

"Go on as before" is the winner, wih 60% of the votes. So on we go. I'm actually running short on requests, and if I run out, I'm going to start trying out the less-used girls. Should be interesting.

Disaster (not averted)

Well, more bad news, hooray: The XP laptop I use to record video's got a horrible Vundo infection. I'm throwing everything I can at this fucking thing - Malwarebytes, Spybot, HijackThis, Combofix, Vundofix, manually going into the registry and deleting the keys, killing the processes... I can't get that shit OFF. Motherfucker just replicates itself endlessly, no matter how many times I kill the process and delete the keys. Needless to say, it's also hard to record videos with popup ads for mayo getting spammed nonstop. So we'll see what happens. I guess I can always reinstall XP. Thanks a lot, BILL GATE$. (Smug Mac users and Linux fans who tell me that I LOL SHOULD'VE USED UBUNTU will be banned)

I've still got a fair amount of videos in the can, so I don't think this should effect the schedule, just how pissy I am. Don't come asking why your video's taking too long this week, hoo boy.

** Update **

Think I finally got it. Whoever created ComboFix, you are my hero!

** Update 2 **

Spoke too soon - as soon as I start any browser, it's back. God fucking damn it. I'm just gonna reinstall Windows.

Barf II

God and baby Jesus, just when I thought Youtube couldn't get any uglier or more counter-intuitive to use. I guess ruining everyone's channel wasn't enough, so now they're ruining how it looks when you play a video. I guess the only upside here is they got rid of star ratings on videos, so that's one less thing for people to have drama about on the internet. Is that worth how bugfuck this redesign is, though? Where the fuck did it move my playlists? Arrrgghh. Maybe this is an early april fool's joke. Sigh.

Top comments, March 2010 edition

And away we go. I really do appreciate the kind words everyone leaves, so please keep it up. Might be a little short this time around - less notable comments; what can I say?Anyway, that's enough, I think, to get past the screenshot, so, without

further ado, the top comments!

Raoh on WAS 2 Migiri Ozora vs Giantslayer Noel Shiraishi:

Looks like a game for virgins.

SoulVotik on SC4 Barmaid vs Princess (yeah, not my video, but I'm player two):

Does anyone know how to play this game? I mean, really. What was the point of this video other than to show your lack of skill.

horokeusensei on Wrestle Angel Survivor Singles Tournament (Pt 1):

lol you guys... its just a random card game with static scenes of girls fighting.. just download the set on some hentai site or play rumble roses... jeez

Aqinaces on Rumble Roses Live Action Reiko vs Makoto:

pervers!!!! ugly bitches...go to school!!!

83dubbie on Rumble Roses Live Action Stinkface:

That shit is gay!! So fake they are a bunch of asian lesbos.

TheKaneDestroyer on WAS Tomomi vs Kazumi Fujiwara

This game is perfetic! What kind of wrestling game do you call this? Like Playing cards! Why can't you actually control the player like in the other games!? Dude, no offence, but you should get a better wrestling game. Try Rumble roses for instance.

Smackdown vs Raw 2010 is here, tonight!

Yes, that's right, got my hot little hands on this thing. The nice surprise THQ sprung on me at the last minute is that when you download a CAW, they ship with the generic RAW entrance music, and you can't change it. Thanks. I'm beyond even getting mad about this now; You just gotta learn to accept that these guys can't do anything right without slathering on a bunch of ridiculous limitations.

Anyways, it's going to take a fair amount of playing around and creating charecters before I'm ready to debut anything. That being said, I'm going to be relying on you, the fans, for storyline ideas and matchs this year. This is a great system, for a few reasons. First is, as explained below (link), I'm not really comftorable writing a bunch of storylines with the storyline creator. Second, I'm a perfectionist and I'm endlessly second-guessing myself, so putting up polls for the fans to vote settles questions that would otherwise drive me nuts saves time and stress. Third, if it works out great, I get to take all the credit, and if it sucks, I can blame someone else. For right now, you can just leave your ideas as comments here or PM them to me on YouTube; I'm thinking of setting up a Yahoo group like M42, except that I can't think of a name for it (should've saved Ryona Kingdom for that instead of making it the name of this blog - damn it!). If you got an idea for that, drop it here too.

I will reveal that the first thing I'll want to do in 2010 is to set up the world title, specifically who has it, and probably start off with a title scramble. The sticky wicket here is that I'm not sure who's going to have the title from 2009 (haven't recorded the last match yet); Out of four possible people, I'm 100% certain two of them will be returning, but Candy Cane and Miss Nurse will both only be in 2010 if the create-a-wrestler parts for them are still in the game - and this isn't a gaurantee, given how much stuff gets removed each year! So if the champ from 2009 is gone in 2010, what am I gonna do? lol i duno. Maybe I'll say she died off-screen. We'll see.

That's pretty much it - I'll probably be updating with which wrestlers will be returning from 2009 to 2010 after playing with the creator for a while. Remember, if you want me to use a CAW you came up with, just give me the formula or put it up for download on Live; No promises, but if I like her, she'll show up in the storylines. And let's see some storyline ideas! Don't make me have to write them myself!

** Update **

Well, they removed the nurse outfit and hat, so it looks like Miss Nurse had to retire. (Uh, or change jobs). On the upside, there's a ridiculous fetish maid outfit which I think I'm going to use.
They also removed the pattern tool for clothes (WTF, seriously?) so American Heroine is out. Damn!

** Update 2 **

Thanks to M42 with the name assist, I've got my Yahoo group. Not much there yet, but you can join here if you want to get a jump start.

Barf

You said it, Cory. I dunno if you've seen it yet, but YouTube pushed the new, hideous, moronically laid out channel design on poor ol' me today. Ugh. As far as I can see, there's no option to switch it back to the old usable channel, either. ;_;
Count yourself lucky if you've still got the old design. Maybe there will be enough outcry to get an option for the old channels put back in, but I'm not holding my breath. Barf.

Upcoming shedule & games

So, just a few schedule notes today. First, the Smackdown vs Raw 2009 poll is going to close this Saturday (9/26). Actually, I don't know how to close it, but I'm going to l@@k at the results Saturday, and the top two vote-getters will be put in a No. 1 Contender Match, so get out there and vote if you haven't already.

I've been thinking about 2009 a bit, since 2010 comes out in October. 2009 will keep going thus: Whoever wins the Queen of the Ring gets her title shot, and whoever is the champ after that match will fight whoever wins the No. 1 Contender match decided by the poll. This title match will be the last 2009 match. (sheds a single tear)

2010 I'll have on release day, but it takes a long time to get wrestlers ready, so don't expect 2010 matches right off the bat. Not only that, but I'll be playing around with the storyline creator to see what I want to do with it. Honestly, I'd love to do like a Ryonaking Raw entire show, but I don't think I have the patience or booking skills for that. Well, okay, I don't have the booking skills, and I don't think fans have the patience to sit through a lot of talking before the girls wrestle. Trying to set up a match would probably just end up like this:

(two wrestlers bump into each other backstage)
Wrestler 1: What's that smell?
Wrestler 2: Probably your ass.
Wrestler 1: Oh, yeah? Well, you are a stupid moron with a ugly face and a big butt and your butt smells and you like to kiss your own butt.
Wrestler 2: You cunt!
(they fight)
Losing wrestler: I have been shown who is the BOSS

So I'm probably just going to use the storyline creator for little skits before a match - give the girls some personality, but not really booking a whole show. We'll see how it goes. I'm honestly just overjoyed they apparently lifted the female match restrictions. Steel cage, here I come!

Other than that, I got to thinking - there's really no new games coming out anywhere on the horizon. In fact, the only one that really has any potential at all is EA Sports MMA if they do the smart thing and get Gina Carano in there. Other than that, really nothing. It's sad - games this generation just don't include women anymore. They're not in Fight Night games, they weren't in TNA Impact (and it doesn't look like there will be a 2), they weren't in UFC Undisputed; I got nothing here.
Since there's nothing new, I'm looking back to older games - I've still got some undebuted games like Facebreaker, but I don't know how much milage you can get out of a goofy looking game like Facebreaker, or the PS1 games I have - boxing games from back then at least included women, but god, the graphics are so hideous. I see a lot of Rumble Roses XX videos in my future.
If you've got any suggestions about a game I should cover, feel free to drop me a line. My only disclaimer is I usually don't do Mortal Kombat style stuff where the girl's spines get ripped out - not really my style most of the time, and other people on YouTube seem to have this covered. Yearg!

That's all for this time. More later, I'm sure.

Yes, still more RRXX pix from Live

Even more RRXX images from Xbox Live! I'm going to have to start cutting down a little, because once I hit 56 pages of images, RRXX is being all BOO HOO DELETE SOME IMAGES FIRST. Sniff. That said, I have to say that people who are still taking and uploading pix after all this time really can produce some things that still amaze me.
One more note: Stop taking Sebestian pictures. I'm not fucking around here. I will kill every one of you.

:o

So, my wife's getting her gall bladder removed this coming Monday (July 27); I actually have like two month's worth of movies in the can and ready to go, so there should be no slowdown in movie posting, but I'll be taking care of her during her recovery, so if you notice that I'm not responding to your comments/messages/videos etc., you'll know why. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to stock up ginger ale and apple juice.

** Update **

Surgery went well, but they're keeping her overnight because she's having trouble sleeping the anasteshia off.

** Update 2 **

Well, she's back. Supposed to take 5-6 hours, and it took 28 since they had to keep her overnight and then nobody could find a doctor to actually sign the discarge papers. Whew!!

Putting together a WAS image pack

So, in the tradition of the Rumble Roses picture packs, I'm trying to put together a collection of Wrestle Angel pix - art, not screenshots. So, if you got any, uh, let me know. I'll post the pack here when it's done, of course; anyone who contributes to it will be lauded (or condemened, if you send me those pictures where Candy Cane is getting fisted by Tomomi). Rar.

:O

Just noticed this:



Shit I was jealous. A friend of mine put it in perspective:

RyonaKing: That should be my videos of girls hugging while pink gas comes out of them on TV ;_;
Unknown Person: Man, why are you jealous? G4 is total trash -- you probably have a wider audience than they do!
RK: Well! I was until you pointed that out.
RK: Come to think of it, I know a bazillion gamers, and I think 0% of them watch G4.
UP: Exactly! All this clown got was to be chucked at by a bunch of buffoons and go uncredited despite his videos being shown on quote-unquote national TV.

Can't argue with that!

Almost forgot - the WAS 1 poll turned out something like 11 to 3 in favor of going back and recording the last two matches. Huzzah.

** Update **

Looks like Spoony agrees. About G4, I mean; I don't know how he voted in the Wrestle Angel Survivor poll.

A note on squashes

So, it looks like there's some discontent in the latest WAS 2 video's comment section. You can see the match yourself here:




Yeah, it's a squash match. I'm not gonna say that I ain't never done a squash match, buddy. You're going to see these once in a while for two reasons:

1.) Someone has requested a squash.

In which case, you can take it up with whoever asked for the match.

2.) It's impossible to record anything else.

Difficult as it may be to belive, sometimes it's impossible to get a competitive match out of two girls who are matched up. You can choose the girls' power levels - if it's a squash when they have even power levels, I'll lower the power of whoever's dominating and try again. If that results in a squash again, there's really nothing I can do except keep re-recording the match and hoping for a miracle. If I do six or seven rematches and they're all squashes, then I don't have any choice; I can either post a squash or cancel someone's request. Since I'm defending posting squash matches, I guess you can see which path I'm taking.

So the tl;dr version is, yes, I am going to be posting squash matches, and complaining about it isn't going to change my mind. If you're really upset, just take a few deep breaths and remember - even Triple H got squashed during his career.

Arrrrghhh!!!!!!

Well, my xbox got the three red rings again. The first xbox I had lasted three years; this refurb Microsoft sent me lasted months. Hopefully this isn't a pattern that's going to be repeating itself. So, I won't be able to record any Rumble Roses XX or Smackdown vs Raw videos for three weeks while it goes out and the new one comes back. There is a match or two in the can - I just finished cutting together the first Smackdown vs Raw 2009 match, actually - but uploading is going to be significantly slowed while I'm xborx less. Ugh.
