Double X Tournament!

So you might remember the Rumble Roses XX Singles Tournament, which got interrupted by Mr Seagate pulling a blarg im ded. The good news is my wife's addicted to Civ V, which means I can use the xbox to record the tournament, so it's pretty much all in the can at this point. Barring any disasters, the first match should go live Saturday, October 2nd. The first round is 8 matches, so it will span every Saturday of October and November. The first match, going up the 2nd (of October; man that's a confusing sentence), will pit Noble Rose against Anasteshia; The other seven opening round matches will be all the other girls except Yasha/Benikage, face persona versus heel persona. After that names will be picked out of a hat (possibly literally) to determine the second round matchups. I'm going to market this as a Face vs Heel tournament, although since I'm leaving it up to the CPU, who knows how many faces and heels are going to be left by the second round?

The winner of the tournament will receive nothing (lololol), because there's really nothing to give, unfortunately; I could put the title on her, but you wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Maybe I'll scrape up $15 to commission the winner wearing a title belt and nothing else from someone on DeviantArt or something.*

So that's that - stay tuned. Wednesday WAS programming will continue as usual. I know the area on my YT page listing the current status of WAS requests is way out of date, but I don't have time to update it right now. I need an intern around here or something.

Last note: Do I need a tournament tag for posts? Maybe I do. Fuck it, let's have a tournament tag.

* No, I won't, but if someone else wants to, I'll tell you who won ahead of time. Spoiler alert. Should I have put a anchor link from the asterisk down to here? Man, I really do need an intern. Shit!

Wrestle Angel picture annoucement (and I'm back)

Yeah, I'm back. It was fun. I got TWO bomb-ass Pope snowglobes for various people. That bad news is I have an ear infection, or something; I went to the Drs and they couldn't even see what was wrong because of a blockage, so they shot hydrogen peroxide into my ear, and some of it got past the blockage into my ear canal and it hurt like a motherfucker. I won't say more because I'm sure nobody wants to hear me being earhurt, but suffice to say, my left ear kind of feels like I got punched in the side of the head by a lady centaur. So don't take it personally if I'm a little grumpy.

ANYWAY, here's the WAS picture news: Of course as soon as I posted the picture pack, I found a bunch more pictures, so I'm going to prepare a supplemental pack. I don't think it's going to be big enough to be a "Vol 2", so we'll just call it supplemental. (Yes, this is the kind of stuff I worry about.) So if you got any pix that weren't in the original pack, send them over and you'll get credit and a hug or whatever. Boom.

Rumble Roses pix from Live, Chapter VII

BIG packs this time, kids, since it's been half a year since the last one. 328 images, and no Sebastians (although I almost cracked and put a funny one in where Mistress Spencer is kicking him in the groin). Also, two bear pictures. If you're one of the kind souls still taking and uploading these pictures to Live, keep at it. And if you're uploading Sebastian pictures, I'm going to find you. You'll be coming home one day, turning the key in your front door, your mind far away from taking and uploading Sebastian pictures nobody want to see, and boom, before you know it, you will come to know the regret of of taking Sebastian pictures. That is all.

Vacation time!

Time for my vacation, suckers. No videos will be posted while I'm in Europe, so there will be no new videos from when I leave on September 11 (yes, I'm flying out on September 11, and no, I didn't notice why the tickets were so cheap until after I had the tickets) and return on September 18. Although I might be jetlagged out and just go to bed on the 18th; we'll see. If you're bored, go back and watch some of the recent videos over again; I worked hard on those, ya know, and the view counts are going down. Hmph!!

In any event, there's probably another edition of Rumble Rose pix from Live coming; I might even post it before I leave. The things I do for my fans!

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.

Tournament time!

There's been some interest (spoilers: two people) in a Rumble Roses tournament, which got me thinking. Originally someone was asking about a tag tournament; I'd really like to do one of these, but RRXX tag matches take for fucking ever, because of the endless RESCUE elbowdrops the computer spams, so I'm thinking maybe a single tournament. I'd like a Heel vs Face tournament, at least initially. I'd also like to get the number of entrants on each side down to 8 (devides much easier that way). I'm gonna eliminate Yasha/Benikage right off the bat, because she sucks, and she's tough as a wet noodle. I'm also gonna eliminate Evil Rose, because I don't like her and she has a 0% chance of winning the tournament; I'm also going to eliminate Dr Cutter, not because I don't like her, but because there's no difference aside outfits from Ana and Dr Cutter, and I have to get rid of another person to get down to 8 on 8.

So then, I have to think about how the initial round is gonna run; I could start it with each wrestler up against her alter ego (with the odd women out of Noble Rose and Ana taking each other on); After the first round, I have no idea who'd have won, so it'd be up to the CPU from there on in. I think that's the way it's going to go; that way past the first round you'll have only the face or heel version of a particular wrestler in the running.

Winner gets... well, I guess nothing, really. Reiko's the champ right now, but I don't know that there's a Non-Title Match option. Maybe beach matches? Ahh, we'll see. Anyway, stay tuned.

DLC & Slider Showcase

As we've been examining the sliders, you've hopefully gotten a good look at how exactly you can change the girl's apperance and stats. You can throw that all out for the DLC, because of a single, goofy property. It's logical to assume that when you put a DLC outfit on your rose, just the outfit gets applied to her body. Instead, the head and skin tone of the wrestler you have selected is applied to the body of the wrestler whose outfit you're putting on.

In other words, if you put Aisha's outfit on Reiko, you don't get Reiko and her humble B cups wearing Aisha's outfit - you get Reiko's head on Aisha's double D torso with her boobs spilling out the top and bottom. Yes, we're going to take a closer look - here's Rowdy Reiko wearing Aisha's outfit:

Crazy, right? If you use this carefully, you can really change the girls' body type far beyond what you can normally do with the sliders - put Benikage's head on Dixie's DLC outfit and vice versa, and suddenly you can have a ripped ninja versus a scrawny cowgirl. Of course, you're limited to the actual DLC outfits - I have to admit I'm more interested in playing around with outfits than body types, but there's a whole world of possibilities out there.

This week's video will be taking a closer look at the practical effects of messing with body types via the DLC - Rowdy Reiko, as you can see above, has committed the ultimate act of heelery in getting ridiculous implants, and Aisha has gotten totally needless breast reduction surgery.

And I think that's it for the grand month-long explanation of XX's sliders and body types if you got any questions or anything to say, post 'em here or on the videos themselves.
