Hmm I don't know, reading the 223 reviews, 177 cheats, 11 FAQs and 7 top 10 lists he uploaded to GameFAQs?
Dude can be a jerk. He can be a troll too. But he wouldn't account suicide and let all those things disappear

but he knew he wasn't on the same usermap as those accounts, which is why he said exactly this on common_sense at the time.

Several of Ultis alts posted scat porn in the contest nominations topic (and I think the contest stats + discussion topic?) and now hes claiming he was hacked

and a topic on Common_Sense full of the usual. Even a nice little line about how they won't touch the main because GameFAQs wants his contributions still? it was wacky

Hmm, games like GTA V, fortnite, etc. were arguable the most socially influential and financially profitable games of the decade, but are those metrics what we should be considering in Game of the Decade? Or should it be more about quality of the game itself? What's more important, how good a game is or how well it did at influencing the culture?

It's the game you like most

@SBAllen

What's the verdict on the eligibility of Resident Evil 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for this contest? I feel remakes should be allowed if they provide a significantly different gameplay experience from the original game they were based on. Plain remasters have never been allowed, but these 2 games don't qualify as that.

well they made the drop down and majora 3d/pokemon hgss didn't

one of the interesting stories of wrestle kingdom was the amount of young lions you could see around the ring. they're bringing in more guys than ever before and their training is the best in the world, as we see time and time again, and now with 3 dojos around the world feeding talent it's really exciting to think what could be ahead. the LA dojo guys who have shown up in the past year - karl fredericks, clark connors, alex coughlin - are all super impressive and fredericks especially is guaranteed to be a star. so, notable among the new young lions at ringside for wrestle kingdom, was william regal's son, who appears to have begun training there although i'm not sure at which dojo yet.

I like how the Hiromu write up doesnt even mention the fact that he retired Liger

god damn, i was trying to keep the lower spots intentionally shorter but this definitely deserved a mention and slipped my mind. him and ryu lee teaming together for jushin thunder liger's final ever match is obviously a huge deal for both of them, and shows how highly njpw think of both of them.

i cannot throw enough superlatives at kazuchika okada but if some user here wanted a wrestler of the week then by god i will try

---

Advokaiser makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

and ONE MORE THING - I said I was gonna do a wrestler of the week and by god, I'm gonna do a list.
Jan 3-9 2020:
5 - Hiromu Takahashi
Returned from a brutal neck injury and 18 months on the shelf, after months of speculation, and looks to have not missed a step. Looking every bit Will Ospreay's equal, assuring us the Junior division is in good hands for years to come as he prepares to resume his legendary feud with Ryu (aka Dragon) Lee

4 - Go Shiozaki
The biggest story of the week outside of NJPW had to be the roaring success of NOAH, who sold out Korakuen Hall running opposite both nights of Wrestle Kingdom. And main eventing both of those shows, in matches that were said to be tremendous (only the 2nd night has aired so far is my understanding) would have been a feather in Go's cap regardless. But he shocked the majority of NOAH fans by defeating young ace in grooming, Kaito Kiyomiya for the GHC Heavyweight Title. Looks like NOAH is having one more Go of it, am i right?

3 - KENTA
a year ago KENTA was wrestling Noam Dar and Cedric Alexander in matches nobody was watching, and he'd been long abandoned as a guy with no personality to make it in WWE. This week, the Tokyo Dome main event ended for the first time in a decade with neither Hiroshi Tanahashi or Kazuchika Okada delivering a rousing go home promo - but with KENTA, sat cross-legged across the new champion's chest, mocking Shibata's classic pose and drawing some of the biggest heat I've ever heard in New Japan. KENTA is going to have a hell of a year, and he already has a hot main event for the double titles coming up in Osaka out of this.

2 - Tetsuya Naito
I waffled on this a little bit, and it's real close between the top 2. If night 1 hadn't happened, Naito is a slam dunk number 1 this week. Finally gets his Tokyo Dome headlining victory over Kazuchika Okada, redeeming his losses from 6 years ago (where, for those who don't know - Naito had won the G1 and challenged Okada for the title, but this was while Nakamura held the IC title and had really elevated that title over his reign, and was defending against Tanahashi who was still incredibly popular in his own right. So NJPW put it to fans to vote on which match main evented - and they put the IC title in the main event, which was seen as a rejection of Naito. It took Naito turning heel and forming LIJ for the audience to embrace him fully, which is how we get to today where Naito is the most popular wrestler in Japan) and 2 years ago, and ends Wrestle Kingdom as the double Heavyweight and IC champions. And he did it in one of the greatest matches I've ever seen, amidst pro wrestling storytelling perfection. The only reason he's not number 1, is that it took two people to have that match, and the other guy had a much better night 1...

1 - Kazuchika Okada
Maybe a lot of people will think of this as Naito's weekend, and there's no doubt it'll be remembered as that for a long time. And, I think there's a good chance this is going to be Naito's year. But my clearest takeaway from this past week of wrestling is that when this decade wraps up, Okada is going to be untouchable as the Greatest of all Time barring a tragedy. The man went and banged out 5 stars or as close as it gets on two consecutive nights, drawing 70,000 people to the Tokyo Dome in two days. He's 32 years old and just hitting his prime. Every one of us who is a wrestling fan today should take pause to be thankful that we are living in the era of Kazuchika Okada. There'll never be another.

also today's big news of the day is Will Ospreay is booked for Janela's Spring Break 4. So while every other company running Mania weekend is trying to move in on Spring Break's irony/comedy wrestling schtick, Janela went and booked the best wrestler on earth and went totally the other direction. It's an easy booking to come up with but with that one stroke, I'm excited for Mania weekend again

4TH Aussie Open
Their ladder match with Birds of Prey was really fun and in general this team banged this year.

2ND (tied) Birds of Prey
I'll be honest - Will Ospreays is my 2nd favorite member of Birds of Prey. Just incredible dickhead heels whose styles compliment each other amazingly well

you have confused birds of prey with swords of essex here

1st David Starr/Jordan Devlin
BritWres may be basically dead but that hasn't stopped David Starr from becoming an almost transcendent star anyway. Their blowoff clash at OTT was built up to be huge and drove many fans to go back and dig into the rivalry backwards giving this Feud a bit of extra help getting over to American audiences.

wow i've never been more proud of b8 i hope my spamming every hype video all year helped (btw, it would really be unfair to paint this feud as just "Starr vs. Devlin", as the true story revolves around WALTER too, but that's a minor point i suppose)

I saw a bit of his matches, yeah. But hasn't the issue been more about how he's been booked into dumb bullshit matches than his actual talent?

i can't speak for anybody else but i'll say to me, the issue is that bray wyatt has been one of the worst wrestlers in the company for most of a decade and now they put him in a dopey mask, flood the arena with red lights and have him wrestle these overbooked nonsense matches full of supernatural bullshit. he fucking sucks and his matches fucking suck.
