Isn't That Right, Chairman?



Yeah, what Steve said.

It's mainly the WWE Rules and Grand Entrance abilities that are blowing my mind. Free movement in Heroclix is always good to have, and forcing an opponent to come fight you face to face instead of sniping away like a coward is really, really strong.

Screw your Omega Beams, Darkseid. You're facing the Macho Man up close and personal or you're not facing him at all. :smuggo:

I'm boggled that Heroclix is still around. I remember playing the Marvel one with my brothers eons ago and wasn't even aware you could legally play games with DC/Marvel//WWE all in one team

Would it boggle you even more to learn that the following properties have been represented in Heroclix?

Star Trek
Lord of the Rings (with like seven sets)
Lone Ranger
Yugioh
Pacific Rim
Street Fighter
TMNT
DotA 2

With several others I’m probably forgetting.

They went crazy for a few years and starting licensing everything they could get their hands on for the game.

Kick-rear end is another one. Halo is another.

Technically, come August or so, Sasha Banks can team up with The Dark Lord Sauron and the Starship Enterprise to take on Hit-Girl, Old West Doctor Octopus, Muhammad Ali and Andre The Giant.

Alas, Hulk Hogan has not been announced yet - depends on how well the first set does.

Only 80s era guys are Macho Man and Andre The Giant, unless you count the Undertaker as well. And I guess Ric Flair, but he seems to transcend chronal classification.

Attitude has Taker, Kane, Stone Cold, Mankind, The Rock, Eddie Guerrero, HHH, Shawn Michaels, Trish Stratus. Big Show.

Modern era has Finn Balor, Asuka, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Roman Reigns, Ronda Rousey, John Cena, AJ Styles.

This reminds me of some stoner joke fan fiction I found a couple years ago where Matt Hardy hits Voldemort with the twist of fate.

Spider-man gets to beat up PMCs because the cops are mad because they don't get to brutalize civilians, which is pretty weird. But at that point I was Spider-man with a paper bag over my head so whateve.r

I watched them do a drug deal and it was super orderly and not at all violent. I don't know why Spider-man was so mad at them.

There was a really bad part where you broke up a protest and then he admonishes the protesters saying hey if there a bunch of armed guards taking down any protester violently maybe stay home. Ugh gently caress you "Privileged" Parker.

Peter had been swinging for nearly 40 hours at this point with maybe two naps so maybe he was hangry?

I wish they'd quit making Peter Parker shittier than Bruce Wayne.

Am I the only person who gets a tiny bit bothered by this whole 'all cops are literal nazis' hyperbole? Like, I assume you would all just go out and dole out vigilante justice if you were burgled?

Edit: It's one thing to acknowledge systemic biases and police brutality, but tarring literally the entire concept of policing as evil strikes me as pretty unproductive.

I mean, I'm in the UK, and while our police are hardly free from those sorts of issues, I get pretty uncomfortable with the seemingly accepted discourse of turning all of western society into the Purge instead of, like, reform?
Like, any time a piece of media portrays a police officer as anything but a cartoon supervillain, it's #problematic.

to be fair the DLC in Spider-Man basically shows Peter that even his trusted cop friend Yuri has the potential to become a hosed up vigilante and then Spidey teams up with independent contractor Silver Sable so the whole story is a land of contrasts. The cops in Spider-Man have always been a heads or tails thing in Spidey media so it didn't bother me too much. There are plenty of moments where he quips "better leave before the cops show up" indicating it's not exactly a smooth relationship anyway.

So I know there's not really a point in me listing a card for this week's show because it's unlikely to pique the interest of people who don't already watch, but for those that do, tonight's main event is Glambot 3000 vs Jimmy Stardust, Bubb & Dubb make their in-ring debut against KyodAI, and Busta Cranium faces Gran Gallo for a new championship.
8:00 PM EST!

And if you're one of those people that thinks "I'd like to watch this silly-rear end e-wrestling show, but I'm in Europe and it comes on at 1am and for some reason I don't wanna watch a VOD", starting tomorrow I'm going to be airing re-runs the next day(Fridays) at 10:00PM GMT.

And for everyone else: In TEW 2020 is finally going to have built-in tournament and league management!
