No. They just won't learn and will cut pointless promos of two guys random midcard guys pointing at the Wrestlemania sign and have one interfere in the other's match one time.

A well booked MitB can be used to build feuds, though. MVP/Matt Hardy blood feud was an influence to part of one of the MitBs I recall. That's not really a problem with the match as much as a problem with WWE being lazy with midcard feuds these days.

Would definitely put Otunga as more likely than Hunico at least. Got a point with Slater and Swoggle though, and Gabriel by extension of Swoggle probably gets in.

And yeah MitB needs to be completely scrapped for a while. Won't happen, though, but once a year is better than nothing.

I'm not sure why Hunico, Justin Gabriel, Hornswoggle, or Heath Slater are on the top section of that list. Don't really seem like locks to me unless WWE officially announced them in some form.

I think I'm one of the only people who liked the guy the whole game and doesn't really care about his development or whatever. Dude's a lot more funny than whiny.

Again I find that with different versions of Lesnar and Austin themes I flip my vote. Though to be fair this Lesnar theme beats a lot of Rock's other themes so there's that.

Masahiro Chono - Team 2000 Crash
Hiroshi Tanahashi - High Energy
The Rock's 2003 Heel Theme
Sheamus - Written In My Face

*shrug* I kinda doubt you can create a coherent character by going exactly down the middle though-- like I think that character only exists by looking at the paragon and renegade bars and intentionally picking the one you're lower in. Too much of the stuff that falls under one side is similar to the other stuff on that side. Like there are definitely situations where you might want to diplomacy one guy and punch another guy out but I have trouble seeing a way to do it balanced-like without gaming the system to do it. Which is kinda why I assumed Panthera was talking about a mix that wasn't exactly middle of the road but still has some of each.

Like when you tried to play that character in that neutral playthrough, were you being neutral for the sake of it or did you have a moral code for your character that managed to end up being neutral?

Well I don't know about ME2 but in ME1 it doesn't penalize you much unless you really mix them. As long as you're clearly leaning one side you should be good. Like I'd say I did Paragon stuff about 1/4 the time or so and that was enough for me to have renegade at the highest level IIRC.

Just to put it to a rest, I do one more show, this time I use the data editor to edit Matt Striker's (since he seems to be in neutral zone for gimmick and momentum) entertainment to 100 and overness to 0. I do the same with Percy but 100 overness and 0 entertainment.

Striker makes an open challenge (42)
Percy watson does as well! (73)

So I guess overness matters a good deal more. Well, I learned something I guess.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Just to make sure, though, I try it with Percy Watson who has decent momentum and gimmick, overness 45, entertainment 72

It's time for SUPERSTARS:

Percy Watson opens the show with an open challenge (61) (low morale but yeah it must matter to some extent-- though I'm unsure how much)

AJ says she was a fool to marry Harvey, she really wants to marry him! Percy accepts! And there is a 30 minute ceremony! (45)

CM Punk is tired of this crap and challenges AJ to a Wedding Ring on a pole match. He wins! There will be no more weddings here! (71)

61 - Watson far overused. lol storylines. lol angles

In any case, it seems to matter a lot less for interviews than for matches, which is why I assumed it didn't matter in SWERVE.

--

This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter at all-- it's easy to check, though.

It's time FOR RAW:

Harvey Whippleman opens the show with an open challenge (41)

Christian d. Harvey Whippleman in a 58 minute endurance match (29) AJ comes to the ring and says she loves Harvey Whippleman even though he lost and wants to marry him! He accepts and they have an improve 30 minute ceremony (36)

Christian beats AJ down with a ladder for 15 minutes! (54) He beats Harvey down with a chair for 5! AJ comes to the rescue and accidentally hits Harvey with a chair!!!!! (46)

Christian d. AJ in a 5 minute squash (57)

43 - Failure. Harvey used far too much. AJ Slightly too much. lol angles. More storylines.

Huh I guess you're right then. Harvey's entertainment is 73, his overness is 25, and while he has low momentum and a bad gimmick I doubt that accounts for all of that.

Also Tom I don't know if you know this but overness doesn't actually matter for angles unless it's rated on overness, even if your product is highly focused on overness like WWE. Given Riley/Chavo wasn't all that high and your previous statement of "only put ME guys in angles" I was thinking you may have thought that. It's all stat, length, and various penalties/bonuses for momentum/drugs/etc.

Well you can get a mix of both. I was just clarifying. And yeah it is Chaotic Good that's what I was getting at.

Well actually I might go as far as to tack renegade Shepard at Chaotic Neutral. Not evil, though.

I don't remember killing any people that weren't going to be killed regardless. Most of the situations where you can talk a guy down you can do it through Renegade path too, just through intimidation/insults rather than diplomacy, so it's not like he'll usually shoot a guy that you could've otherwise not shot very often at all (and I don't ever recall him shooting someone that could be considered an innocent bystander). Most of the time if you pick the fight option when you can try and talk it out it's neutral not Renegade.

I don't know maybe I'm forgetting stuff. All I'm saying is I never really felt "evil" as Shepard just like a guy who was doing his job, had a bad attitude, and didn't take ****.

Impact Week 3, October 2011-- now current with Tom's week take that edwards I can so keep pace with him if I only have to do 1/4 the shows.

SHOWTIME:

We open the show with a tournament match between Brian Kendrick and Jeff Jarrett that goes to a draw when both are knocked out for a 10 count after Daniels runs in, blindsides the ref, and beats them both with a chair until the ref wakes up. They stay down for a 10 count as Daniels taps his head knowingly... they're both eliminated, that dastardly fiend has paved himself an easy way through round 2! (55)

In the ring, a memorial is being held for Jeff Hardy, who died in "an unfortunate accident." Ric Flair is watching from backstage... he looks away from the TV to a nearby mirror... caution tape Orlando Jordan is there again, and tells him the funeral service... is actually for Flair. Flair looks back to the TV and is horrified to see his image on the screen where the Jeff Hardy pictures once were while Orlando Jordan laughs (86)

Daniels d. Chris Sabin to advance to round 3. (66) Backstage Ariel is showing D'Lo Brown tarot cards... with the four of swords after the death cardit can only mean that Jeff Hardy is not in fact dead! Only D'Lo can help him! D'Lo being a security guard now clearly isn't interested and rubbernecks down the hall. (56)

Glacier d. Eric Young for the TV Title! (57) After the match he explains that he doesn't actually want the title, and gives it back to Eric Young... who is confused (58)

Bobby Roode d. Steiner to advance (72) After the match Ariel is backstage again, this time trying to explain the tarot cards to Hulk Hogan. Only the American Hero Hulk Hogan can help Hardy! Hogan stares blankly until she stops talking. She sighs and leaves. (61)

D'von tries to get a match with The Pope from Sting... Sting says if he gets to round 3 maybe he'll meet him in the tournament-- D'Von lightbulbs (67) D'Von d. James Storm via lowblow to advance (62)

Mickie James is in the ring... as the true HARDCORE COUNTRY all of her title defenses from now on will be in TAYBLES matches. She invites any knockout to try and face her! ODB responds to the challenge! (69) Mickie TAYBLES ODB to retain (72) (Mickie's Hardcore Legend gimmick gets 86 aw yeah)

Pope comes out for his tournament match... Hernandez isn't showing. The camera pans to Hernandez's locker room and there's a "gone 2 South Africa" sign on it!?! The ref begins to count as Pope frantically shakes the ropes Warrior style to keep his heart rate up and he advances by count out. (71) Sting d. Gunner to advance (82) Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe are in the crowd, walking to the front row, showing their tickets to security guards... bah gawd they're not supposed to be here !!! (81) (Angle's "Outside Threat" gimmick gets 84. Joe's "Invader" gimmick gets 86)

RVD vs. Ric Flair. Flair fights valiantly, but at some point in the match "Cross the Line" caution tape falls from the ceiling onto Flair. Flair, horrified, does the only thing he knows how to do in these situations, the Flair Flop, and is hit with a 5 Star Frog Splash before he gets up. RVD d. Flair to advance (82)

74 - Success! lol Angles

(Raw gets a mere 76 aw yeah we comin for you WWE)
(And yes I know Ariel was a WWE name and she probably couldn't use it here but shut up "Salinas" doesn't fit the character)

Evil all the way. I can "have the heart" for either, though... but if you give me a choice, yeah I'm going for the less moral option most of the time-- but just picking the evil one all the time is bad too, even if you want your character to be a villain. I like immersing myself in a character more than anything so sometimes the evil choice just isn't interesting to my character's interests or crosses a line my character actually respects or the evil guys pissed my character off enough that I want to screw them rather than teaming up with them, or whatever.

When I played ME (haven't gotten to ME2 yet) I answered with a bit of a mix but leaned renegade. Though I wouldn't say renegade is exactly evil so to speak... it's more like a lack of respect for rules than being a bad person. There's only one thing from ME I can think of that I'd call possibly "evil" but even that I'd say has justification.

Well maybe it's more patently evil in ME2 I suppose.

I watched the TNA main event. Show's been tolerable lately so I've started watching it again.

The non-finish was the best main event non-finish of the week
