  1. Just caught up on this and I love it. It's funny how quickly you can get attached to a rag-tag group of misfits like those in ELITE and I look forward to when they pop up again, and what other characters turn up.

     

    DAVE related though, I'm also excited for what you have in store! RDJ is a great face for a revamped DAVE and I'm looking forward to seeing who else Kyle sends your way. I expect to see Eddie Peak soon. Hopefully you provide them with fun characters, although maybe less 'extreme' ones, just like the guys in ELITE!

     

    Thanks for the comments. A part of me is sad to say goodbye to ELITE. They are obviously all still in the database so I'll make sure to post and update on them. Most of them other than Big Sal and Troy are very young, so although they are pretty garbage at the moment it's perfectly possible some of them could develop enough to get a spot on DAVE.

     

    Although I think cult-style promotions often have realistic/down to earth characters I definitely want to inject some crazier characters into the mix. But I think I'm best doing that slowly. My thinking is everyone has seen these characters for years on Total Wrestling so it would be a bit jarring if all of them suddenly had major gimmick changes. I also want to be strict with myself making sure the diary reflects the actual game. So if somebody has a great gimmick rating in game, I don't want to change it in the game so I won't allow myself to change it on here either.

     

     

     

     

    Vibert's Vlog: Episode 3

     

    I have most the first show fully written now, but I think they'll be one more VV before predictions go up for the first episode.

  2. yeah that was a really good show! All in all a top wrestlemania weekend. Looking forward for the RAW/SD after. Would expect maybe the Roman but definitely the KO return to normally be on the Raw after, I liked the swerve of having it be on WM itself but hopefully there's still some good stuff planned for what's normally the biggest RAW/SD of the year.

    That is a pretty stacked card for a TV show, and some real interesting match ups too. Hat's off to the booking committee (not you Lloyd I mean the elder Stone's, Steve and Keith). </p><p> </p><p>

    Not going to lie I didn't notice a huge difference in layout but it looks good as always so if it's easier for you I'd definitely stick with it this way.</p>

  5. <p>Thanks for the info, Remo's title-less career is definitely surprising. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

    'Eddie has revealed a new look. He has bulked up to Light Heavyweight and has decided that he no longer wants to be called Eddie Carter, but wants to be called "Ballistic". With this new name, he has also cut his hair and had pictures shot with his new look.'</p><p> </p><p>

    Eddie, sorry Ballistic, sounds like a moody teenager. I hope we're all supportive and understanding whilst he gets through this whole 'Ballistic' phase.</p>

  6. Really cool to see what's going on in the wrestling world. Some interesting stuff in it. I guess they have such good tv coverage and no one challenging them but 21CW roster doesn't sound up for the 3rd biggest in the world, when Stevie Stoat and Lance Martin are in your best wrestler category. Also impressive Khoklov is still going strong, and especially The Force?! Where are Wolf Hawkins and Remo? Surprising to not see them on the list.
  7. Vibert's VLOG: Episode 1

     

     

    A few short episodes up next that will show what Phil has been up to in his spare time making plans for DAVE.

     

    Soon the diary will go a bit more traditional I suppose is the word, with shows making up 90% of the post. Currently just playing around with the format. I thought I was pretty original using WWE 2k19 but just a few days ago saw that WWE diary that uses it, and uses it really well to be fair! Still, I think it's going to be cool to be able to visualise the c-verse.

  12. <p>I agree, that was all fantastic!</p><p> </p><p>

    When you started talking about Mcdonalds, I assumed there would be some nuggets, maybe some fries thrown at him. So when the first thing was a full Big Mac that got a laugh out of me. </p><p> </p><p>

    But hey it's good to know your paying customers are well off enough to toss their whole meal at him, now you just need them to spend that money on your merch.</p>

He was a last minute addition both in storyline and in reality. I like the idea that he's a bit of a prick to 99% of people but is a genuinely great uncle.

  14. <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Predictions for ELITE Pro Wrestling! </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;">

    Which roster members have you not connected with at all and should start with 0 pop?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;">

    </span></p><p>

    (I've got the game ready to play in TEW but will adjust some of the popularity in the editor prior to running it based on responses to this.)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

    Side note: So as you can probably tell I'm using WWE 2k19. Now the whole time I've been doing this I've spent so long on the characters and the ring mostly because WWE2k19 has literally been running in slow motion, it also kept randomly crashing. So sometimes even doing something that nobody will even notice, like changing their attire for one different scene then changing it back for the next, has taken stupidly long.</p><p> </p><p>

    For some stupid reason I only now googled it because my laptop is fairly decent so shouldn't be so slow. Turns out it doesn't use Nvidia graphics card by default and you have to set it manually. So this whole time it's been trying to run without using the GPU. So now it's twice as fast. Just a pain to only now work it out. </p><p> </p><p>

    Another annoying story is I wanted to get a picture of the ending of the Troy vs Ivan fight. I wanted it to be a submission finish so I made the match a submission match, because it's in slow motion it's impossible to actually play the game so I made it AI vs AI. Waited 10 minutes for them to get into the ring, then I watched it for SO long and they just didn't do a submission move. I have no idea if it's because they literally didn't have one in their move set or what but I must have had the match on in the background for about 45 minutes before thinking screw this. </p><p> </p><p>

    Going forward now I can actually play the game it will be a LOT easier to just control the characters and create the photos I want. It's strangely fun to sort of be the photographer and try to get good moments.</p>
