Yes, this is the end of the road. All four requests featuring these charecters are going to be rolled into this.
Saturday:
School Outfit Tag Match
I'm getting a little tired of four-way matches, so let's have a good old fashioned 2 on 2 tag match. Someone wanted to see schoolgirl outfits, so here we are. This match ran like 3 seconds long, so I think I'm just going to cut the first three seconds, which is just Reiko circling Dixie anyway.
OK, well, I might already have a blog post titled Odds and Ends, but, well, eat it. So, just a few little items today.
Item 1: I'm still reading all the comments on my youtube channel, but I've mostly given up responding directly to them, because it looks goofy. If you're asking a question you want everyone to see the answer to, it's a good spot, and it's also an OK location for match requests; if I don't respond to your match request there, I probably got it, so don't worry. That being said, I do check the coments on this blog (see the post below this), so don't be shy.
Item 2: STILL waiting for the Smackdown vs Raw 2009 patch. I read that the PS3 version just sets all caws to 90, which is just as bad as having them all at 37. TBH, if this fucking patch isn't out in like two weeks, I'm just going to start putting matches up with the default stats; I've been working on the girls for a long time, and I'm itching to debut them.
Item 3: I have a bunch of Fallout 3 and Saint's Row 2 videos I'm dying to post, but they're all off topic. I'm going to try to limit myself to one a month (maybe the first monday of a month, or something); I think you'll enjoy them (obviously, or I wouldn't post them) but they're non-ryona, so I'll go light on them.
Item 4: I'm still trying to work down the request list on my profile page. Belive it or not, those are all STILL Wrestle Angel Survivor 1 matches I'm finishing up. Astounding, right? That being said, the list is shrinking, however slowly. As soon as it's gone, we'll be in full-on WAS 2 mode - so start requesting new girls as soon as you see that list disappear; I'm aching to get out some of the stranger girls.
Item 5: I'm toying with announcing a video on this blog before posting it; I happen to be posting two videos this week that lend themselves to this, so check back monday and there should be some teaser images.
Item 6: Views are getting a little low for videos recently - the last one to break a thousand was posted a week from last Saturday - so I may take this saturday off to let the views build up. These are good matches, people. Frowny face.
I think that's all; Like I said, check back monday, when I'll have both a preview of the upcoming week's matches, and also an annoucement about the requests for WAS 1 matches that include removed girls. Stay tuned.
Merry Xmas. Namco got me to drop $1.50 or $2 on naughty santa outfits for Soul Calibur 4 just for this video, so make sure I'm getting my money's worth out of it!
So, yeah. I'd like to do a video for some other holidays, but they only have the santa pack for SC4, so I can't make something like Talim in a dreidel outfit beating up Ivy in a menorah costume (although we can all agree that would be fucking awesome). Since Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve both fall on a Wednesday, and I usually put a video up on wednesday, I feel like I should do something special for new year's eve, but what? I toyed with the idea of doing a Fire Pro Returns match that counts down to a bomb exploding, but I don't know; that doesn't really feel like New Year's, does it? Maybe I'm too literal. It's not like I can make a baby with a 2009 sash beating up a old woman with a 2008 sash or something. So I think I'll just put a normal video up and yell IT'S THE LAST MATCH OF 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the video discription.
Also I've been thinking about this WAS 1 problem where they removed the wrestlers. Since they removed four, I'm very tempted to just do a WAS Removed Charecter Last Tag Super Beatdown or something. That'll let me knock out all four requests in one match, and hopefully I won't have to fire 1 up again. Of course, it's true that this isn't what people originally requested, but if they were here right now, I'd tell them HEY look over there, and then when they turned around to look where I was pointing, I would run out of the room at maximum speed with wacky cartoon va-va-voom sound effects.
Finally, big news: I finally used my gamebridge to capture a bunch of pictures from Rumble Roses XX. Most of these are from Live, so if you've uploaded a picture yourself, it might be in here! Some of these are naughty and some of these are funny. I think these are pretty PG-rated (the dirtiest shots are the glitches where you can see thru the girls' clothes, but they're like barbies under there). Try this link:
Okay, first the good news: Here's that second WAS 2 CD. This is indeed the drama CD, so, know what you're getting into. Here's the (adorable) case and CD itself. These came out pretty damn good for a cell phone camera, if I can say myself.
Now the bad news: WAS 2 has, indeed, removed some wrestlers, including one of my favorites. Boo. So far the ones I've noticed are Sanae Katsuragi, Mayuri Ciater, Julia Curtis and Patricia Lewis. Mayuri I can take or leave, but come on, Julia is cute, and Sanae is awesome. I don't get why any wrestlers should be removed; they shouldn't need any new work to put them in the second game. Just copy and paste 'em! Jeesh! Anyways, sadly, these four girls are all in WAS 1 requests, and quite honestly, I really don't want to go back to WAS 1. So we'll see. I don't want to cancel any requests, but....................... yeah, we'll see. If anyone who put in those original requests wants to cancel them, I'll take a new request and put it on high priority. Don't make me feel bad, people.
Anyway, that's it for today; No WAS video this Wednesday, since it's xmas eve and all, but I'll have something for you to enjoy.
No big topic today, just a few news bits. Item the first: Second WAS2 CD is coming soon; Hold on to your asses, to prevent them from being blown off. Oh yes indeed.
WAS 2 wise, I might skip the match this week; I recorded so much stuff that I'm getting mixed up as to what I've already posted or what order it should go in. I'm neurotic about what order the matches are posted in; I don't want to post two tag matches in a row, or two squashes in a row, or (horrors!!!) two videos where I lose in a row, or too many WAS 1 videos in a row, or if the last video didn't get as many views, I want to post a really good match, and, and, and... so I might just take this week off. At the moment I'm torn between posting two rematches featuring Dolphin Hayase, or one; I like her a lot, but they're both WAS 1 matches, and they're both against the same opponent, and I only have about a zillion requests waiting, so it seems kind of selfish. Then again, I can do whatever I want. So we'll see. Maybe I'll post a poll or something.
Also WAS wise, you might enjoy calpal80833's youtube channel if you like mine; his videos are just still images, but they might also be up your alley.
Smackdown vs Raw wise, gohwave posted a video of his 2009 wrestlers. Let's see if I can embed this thing:
I'll be honest with you: I really want that damn Tifa. Also, we both have demons with red skin, but I think mine is like seven fet tall, and looks a good bit different. Hey, great minds can think alike without it being stealing. We'll see how it goes. THQ hasn't released the CAW attributes patch yet, so I still can't record any matches. I do have a good deal of the roster set up; I'm currently dealing with insanely small niggling issues nobody but me will notice (how much eye makeup should I put on this wrestler wearing a mask whose eyes you can't see anyway?). My wife got a look at my roster and went, "Oh, so you're just doing everyone from last year again?!" - thanks, dear - so she's made a wrestler or two of her own. So if you see any wreslters I'm using that you don't like or think are lame, those are hers.
Other than that, now that the gamebridge is back, I'm kind of stymied; I don't have much time to record videos nowadays, and I've just been doing Rumble Roses videos because they make take a long time and be tedious, but there's really nothing difficult about them. (Ask me to have an exciting match in Rumble Roses XX; that's difficult.) I'm really meaning to get some more Soul Calibur IV videos, etc, in the can, but it's tough.
Finally: I'm going to be posting a few non-ryona videos on my channel; I've been playing Fallout 3 with the gamebridge while my wife plays Animal Crossing, and it means I've been able to record every nutty glitch I run into. I'm going to try not to overwhelm the channel with these, but some of them really do make me giggle. Maybe I'll make a non-ryona youtube playlist with them or something. We'll see. End communication.
** UPDATE **
Of course, as soon as I'm done with this post, I go and post a WAS video anyway. Jeez!
Not a great video, but it looks like everything's working again. The gamebridge now has to have all four plugs plugged in for S-Video mode; I hope it doesn't effect the picure quality in a negative light. Honestly, I'm just happy to have everything working again. Whew!!
