Who really cares what I'm doing with MAW? I'm loving that Mark Carnie has caused five workers to walk out for various reasons in the same amount of months to start my game. What a scumbag. I really want to start a game as SNP now.
-
I hired that guy to my tag team promotion. Is he someone I should push?
He's a project. With a decent tag team partner he could turn into a good worker. He just isn't as young to start the game as he always used to be (obviously with the yearly progression). I've always liked his name, look, and story.
-
I won't lie... this really pumped me up. I signed him when I started the game and now he's decided to move here. Love it!

This concerns the heck out of me. I'm thinking the MAW Champion is bailing pretty soon.

I thought it was a fun show to watch from start to finish, with some dragging here and there (as usual). I thought the opening Last Man Standing match was excellent. I won't lie, I expected a little bit more from it but it was solid. The US Title match was mostly what I thought it would be. They did what the feud was meant to do: introduce a little more lucha style to the WWE crowd. The Diva's Title was a decent match. I liked Sasha coming out. I'm a big fan of hers. Tag Title match was rinse and repeat for me. Same crap we've been seeing.
I enjoyed the majority of the Royal Rumble match itself. I was really excited they decided to have AJ Styles debut during the match. No better way to debut in a company you've never worked for than to debut in a match you've never been apart of. Bringing him in early and letting him last while getting a few eliminations was the best thing for him.
Obviously he wasn't going to win and having him get eliminated before the rest of the stories they wanted to tell (Lesnar/Wyatt, Reigns/HHH) was brilliant. He wasn't overshadowed one bit the entire time he was in there. They booked him brilliantly in my opinion.

That would make a lot of sense now Kane is supposedly 'fired'. It just wouldn't make sense to me as a traditional SS match. The Wyatts do have a team, but Taker is supposedly a loner. Would it be 4 on 2? Or will we see a Edge and Christian get back for a reunion (wishful thinking)?
'Biker' Taker was in the SS2001 match, but I don't recall seeing him in any other (though I missed quite a few years of WWE).
My first thought was Reigns / Ambrose / Kane / Taker vs The Wyatt Family.
-
Anyone watch Breaking Ground? I thought it was exactly what Tough Enough should have been (minus judges).
Planning to check it out in a little bit actually. Looks like it'll be fun to watch.

I prefer digital content and I've practically gone exclusively digital since getting the Xbox One. I only have Watch Dogs on disc (it was $12 brand new on eBay in the plastic wrap). I bought the Media Hub that came out for it and added an additional 500GB hard drive. Works and looks awesome. I like digital games for the computer as well. If anything happens to my computers or if I were to lose a disc, its really easy to reinstall stuff.

In that sense, the hypocrisy complaints are swings and misses. An inconsistency charge would only hold value if there was another WWE figure currently embroiled in a similar issue and they treated them differently than Hogan (and even this is a stretch, as a big part of the issue here is that this is Hogan and that he is well known enough to be National Inquirer attention worthy). Past issues regarding race that aren't currently news topics are fundamentally different in that they lack the key character of the Hogan incident (that being that it's getting a large amount of public attention right now).</p><p> </p><p> To me, the only way to make a hypocrisy (and I'm not even sure this is about hypocrisy) charge against the WWE here is to argue that they're more interested in how they are perceived than by what Hogan actually said. But that only makes then similar to pretty much every large corporation beholden to stockholders and dependent on consumers. They want our money and so will move to put themselves in the best light possible to do so. There are plenty of reasons why we might think the WWE is a bad company, but this isn't a fair one, as far as I can see.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Couldn't agree with this post more. Hogan should have never said what he said. He crossed the line and WWE responded with the most appropriate action in this day and age. Instantly distance themselves from a nasty ordeal. It doesn't matter when it happened or what he said. He was absolutely disrespectful when talking of the black race and it isn't acceptable. WWE did what they had to do and it was the right choice. We'll see Hogan back in the WWE within 3-5 years though. Time changes everything (not really, other crap just takes over the current crap).</p>

Well, I'm pretty darn impressed with how my Titans picked in this draft. Made a lot of good decisions. Wicked pumped for Mariota!

Meh, bit the bullet and purchased it tonight. The way I see it I didn't get any of the DLC on the PS3 so that'll be cool to check out. I play a lot on the PC, so it makes it a bit more worth my while and I'll probably play it way more than I did on the console. I have it preloading right now so it'll be good to go tomorrow (which works out nicely since I have the next two days off).

Not sure if you know the answer to this or not, but I heard on the grapevine that the XB1 and PS4 versions were stripped down from those that were released on the 360 and PS3. If that's true, which version is PC getting?
As far as I know the 360 and PS3 version were missing the highly touted career mode that the XBOX One and PS4 included. From the article I read last week, it looks like the PC version will be in line with the PS4 and XBOX One... so everything that was in those versions will be in the PC version (along with all DLC right off the bat).
And it does look like the release is tomorrow (4/28/15 according to the Steam page). http://store.steampowered.com/app/240460/
No idea if I'll be able to swing the $45 tomorrow (I do own it on the PS3 already) but I hope I'm able to. This will be a very fun game to play (especially with all the mods that are sure to be made).

Hmm, so my laptop has been overheating like crazy the past couple of days playing The Witcher 2 and NBA 2k15, and it's never really done anything like this before. My GPU climbed up to about 85 degrees Fahrenheit after just 20 minutes of TW2 .. does anyone know anything about this, or know of a place where I could maybe find out what's wrong? I have an aversion to contacting Acer because I feel they'll try and milk some repair money or something out of me. It's fine when I'm not playing games, I'm just not sure why it's happening all of a sudden.
Could I just need to clean my fan?
I think Acer has excellent customer service. I haven't done anything with them in years, but I've had to replace laptops for people before and they are extremely content with replacing it (or they used to be). What type of laptop do you have? That's a lot of hardware under a tiny hood with very limited cooling. Those type of games that require that much processing power is going to make that machine work overtime. Completely possible that a fan shut down because of that.

Plus 2K's usually pretty good with their PC ports, at least with the NBA series. As long as Yuke's didn't handle the porting job, it should be fine.
I agree. The MLB and NBA ports to PC for 2K games have been excellent in my opinion. They play flawlessly on my machine.
-
I'm thrilled for a WWE PC game. Its been far too long. The mods that will be made for this game will be insane. My PC runs some pretty intense games (Sims, WoW, NASCAR, other 2K games like MLB) fairly well, so it shouldn't be an issue. Hoping it comes out within the next few weeks since Spring is here.

I never cared for Khali, but after I read this it changed how I looked at him:
The following are highlights of a new interview with The Great Khali:On his WWE departure: "I was busy establishing my wrestling institute in Jalandhar, Punjab. It's a world class institute where more than 30 young wrestlers are being trained by trainers from USA currently. I have tried to provide best facilities there so that we can prepare world class wrestlers who can represent our country in the WWE world."
On why it took roughly two years to work out a new deal with WWE: "It's not that I had no offers from the WWE. I had voluntarily taken this break as I needed some time to establish the institute in Jalandhar. Now that the things are on track I decided to get back to the ring. I will be back soon with some more friends from U.S. who will help me on my project to prepare WWE wrestling in India. We have trainees from all across the country. Also there are four girls apart from 30 boys who are being trained there. I wanted that girls get equal opportunity and so we have provided space for girls as well."

Like others have already said, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is an excellent free program that is constantly updated. An older version of Spybot Search and Destroy works well also. One last recommendation, CCleaner will help a lot with deleting old temp files and other crap to save you space. You'd be surprised how much room you'll save the first time you run this program on your computer. They also have a Registry Cleaner attached to CCleaner that works really well with cleaning up old registry files for programs you no longer have or registry files that were added by junk.

Thank you! That's awesome.

I ignore the commentating a lot of the time. Somehow I can completely block it out and simply listen to the crowd and the match. That's what I did during HHH/Sting. So much so that I need to go back and listen for all of the comments made because I didn't hear them first time around.
-
I think a lot people should go back and watch the HHH / Sting match. Sting practically dominated the match which is why DX ran in to begin with. I think NWO coming out was awesome. Sure, Sting and NWO never saw eye to eye, but NWO Wolfpac and Sting did. I thought the entire moment with both run-ins was special (what Wrestlemania is supposed to be). It was a great match that HHH didn't win cleanly (he used the hammer and pinned him).
Sting didn't need or most likely want to win. He was so happy to have this run and get a chance to wrestle at the biggest wrestling event of all time. You could tell with the look on his face when he came out that he was simply thrilled to be there. He's a lot older than HHH and he knew beating him didn't do anything to further either of their careers. He just wanted to wrestle in a WWE ring and do it at the biggest event ever. The result of the match never crossed his mind in my opinion. He was just happy to be there.
It made my night just seeing him wrestle in a WWE ring. The way the match ended didn't ruin anything for me. It was a special moment.

I really enjoyed the entire show. The pre-show matches were excellent. I was hoping to see Mizdow eliminate the Miz, so I enjoyed that. I was hoping Mizdow would get the win, but his battle at the end with Big Show was entertaining. The tag four-way was really good too.
I was looking forward to the IC ladder match for weeks. It delivered and I'm happy with the result. I wanted Bryan, Ambrose, or Ziggler to get the win. It was a great match. I also knew that Harper would powerbomb somebody onto a ladder, I didn't predict it would be THROUGH a ladder though. That spot was awesome in my opinion.
Orton vs Rollins was as expected. Good solid match. I wanted Rollins to go over, but in the grand scheme of things it made much more sense for Randy to win it. The curb stomp into an RKO was a major highlight of the night. Great spot.
Couldn't believe that Sting vs HHH was the third match of the night. They had a packed card, so I understand why they had to have it so early. Great match that showed me that Sting vs Taker next year could truly happen (if they both take the year off and get ready). Sting looked great and HHH helped him to an awesome match. I was upset at first that Sting lost, but throughout his WCW career he was still the man even if he didn't win. That's kind of the way Sting is. I'm proud of the match and glad to see him on the biggest stage of them all.
The divas match was nice. I expected Paige and AJ to get into it, so that was surprising that they kept it all together. Good solid wrestling from four women.
Rusev vs Cena was good. I enjoyed Rusev's entrance a lot for some reason. Reminded me a lot of Rocky IV. Good solid match. I've enjoyed these two wrestling the past few months. Solid in-ring work. I wasn't surprised by Cena going over, lets see if he brings back the spinner US belt!
I wanted to see Stephanie and Ronda get into it a little more but that was a cool moment. Nobody does pop culture better than the WWE. I thought the segment dragged on a bit here and there, but it was obvious they were trying to kill some time (while the sun went down a little more).
Am I the only one who was looking forward to the Bray/Taker entrances more than the actual match? I hate to say it, but I dislike outdoors West Coast Wrestlemania's. The sun takes too long to go down and it ruined the opening of this match to me. I was invested in seeing two incredible entrances that were extremely dark. The timing and sunset didn't cooperate. I knew that was going to be an issue from the moment they announced the match. Decent match for what I expected. I was actually glad that Bray didn't keep kicking out of finishes and the match didn't keep going. They got the story across just fine and it was solid.
The main event was amazing in my opinion. I felt that Reigns and Lesnar had a battle, not a wrestling match. These two beat the crap out of each other. I loved how Lesnar dominated and Reigns would get a few good shots in here and there. The ending was superb. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to Wrestlemania. I would truly love to see a triple threat match between Rollins/Reigns/Lesnar.
I hoped that WWE would have Rollins cash in and win, but I didn't think they'd pull the trigger. I didn't think Reigns was walking out with the belt, especially after Lesnar re-signed with WWE. When news broke of him re-signing his deal, I fully expected him to retain last year. It was a really nice shakeup to the entire show.
I agree with pretty much everyone on here. This Wrestlemania was excellent and WWE should be proud of themselves. From the pre-show to the ending this show delivered. All the years without the WWE Network and paying $60 for a subpar show. Now we only pay $10 for the month and get some of the greatest moments in wrestling. WWE is doing it right again.

I was curious if anyone has ever done a new image of Martyr? I just picked him up in my recent game and was looking through the Photobucket pages to see if I could find one. Hopeful someone can point me in the right direction!

This is from Rajah.com:
WWE has made a new rule that talent and office people and talent and production people are not allowed to date each other. They do not want talent and staff interaction past a professional level.I'm curious if this was a new rule made by Stephanie McMahon and Triple H? Bunch of hypocrites!
-
I watched it live last night. The undercard was good and the title match was awesome. The rumble match left a lot to be desired. I'm not a fan of Reigns and I haven't been. He just isn't ready for this push and the crowd let them know that last night. A lot of odd eliminations (or at least the order). The entire show was extremely predictable.
What's going on in your game?

You handled that unfortunate event really well in my opinion. You made it clear to the public and all workers backstage that it wasn't acceptable behavior. You made him do the job before getting rid of him. He'll be back one day down the road for you I'm sure. But for now, you had to do what was right for your company. Hope things work out with that save!
