Hey folks! Just a quick update -- I've finished the script for Misawa vs. Kawada Part 2. It's a juicy 9000 words or so, and it should be out next week. It'll cover everything up to and including 06/03/94, so there's a fair bit to get through. Here's a sneaky look at the thumbnail:

FINALLY. I hope you enjoy this nearly two-hour trip down to the ideal arcade, filled with everything from Golden Age classics to 3D gems and plenty inbetween -- It's taken a fair bit of time to put together, so hopefully it's worth it! Have fun.

At last, here's Part 1 of Misawa-Kawada. This first video won't actually see them clash just yet -- instead we're examining how they got up to the top through their school days, dojo time, foreign excursions, Misawa's time as Tiger Mask, Kawada becoming a great tag wrestler with Footloose and Tenryu, a...
2021-08-25 11:23:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
Over the past couple of days I've been trying to get together as many of the various ideas I've had for vids over the past while into a document, and I thought I'd share it with you - I've actually managed to come up with a few. Most of them are main channel related as I'm pretty set on Misawa/Kawada as far as ...
2021-08-09 08:24:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey everyone,
...So, I think it's about time to start getting something down on the big one: Misawa and Kawada. It always seems to be the one I go back to -- even if a lot of my videos are admittedly quite '90s AJPW-centric or NOAH-centric (what can I say, it's kind of obviously my favourite sort of Puro), I can't r...

At last, here's my video all about Civ II! Plenty here -- a bit of a dive into Colonization, or how Brian Reynolds managed to get the job of...well, basically being Sid Meier. A full dive into one of the truly great gaming sequels and why it's so brilliant and so influential, and a look at the odd clash of Civs between MicroP...

Mayhem in Monsterland is one of the last and greatest games released for the almighty Commodore 64 -- an incredibly advanced title for the system, and an excellent swansong. One magazine felt so strongly about its brilliance that they handed it the rarest of things -- a perfect 100% score, something that's still talked about ...

The story of Dr. Death Steve Williams, an athletic freak of nature and incredible wrestler who managed to conquer All Japan, but was never able to break through in the USA. From the highs of the bouts with Kobashi and winning the Triple Crown to the Brawl for All and Oklahoma, his story is quite an intriguing one.

NEW VIDEO!
This video is a bit of a love letter to the almighty CM 01/02, appropriately enough for the time. In the main this video looks at various Championship Manager legends -- players who are most certainly better known for how good they are in the game as opposed to anything they did in their career. The likes of ...

I kinda alluded to doing Dr. Death in the Vader vid but more seriously..yeah, it's definitely time to give Steve Williams a bit of shine. This will mainly concentrate on his singles work in AJPW and how he rose to bec...

Hey hey! Here's the completed video on the big story of Jurassic Park: Trespasser, up on here a few days early. Another long one, filled with details on the game's development and how it's somehow managed to survive for so long thanks to the games it influenced, and a dedicated community. An incredibly interesting game despit...

In the Autumn of 1998, Vader was jobbing in the WWF, nothing was planned for him, and he was thinking of quitting the business. A year later he'd headlined the Tokyo Dome, won the Triple Crown twice and was one of the best wrestlers of 1999. This video tells the story of a Mastodon's phenomenal comeback.
2021-05-05 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! Just want to quickly update on how my vids are currently looking.
As far as wrestling goes, the next video will be "IT'S TIME: How Vader Went from the Bottom to the Top". Writing's currently going well -- I'm about 5,000 words in, and should hopefully be finished writing in the next couple of days. The vid te...

Well, here it is. The big documentary on Tomb Raider and Lara Croft's glorious PlayStation years -- the making of the character and game, the wonders of I & II, how she became so famous through marketing, and how her creators got increasily fed up with her. It's all here, and I hope you enjoy it. :)

Hey all,
Here's an edited down version of the stream I did on Thursday where we built a tier list of Ocean Software Licensed Games :) was quite fun. Some teething problems technically (the game sound is way freaking loud, I've put subtitles in a few bits) but hopefully this end result's enjoyable.

Here it is! Part 1 of the story behind quite possibly the greatest title reign in the history of Puroresu. Kenta Kobashi's two year run with the GHC Heavyweight Title in NOAH, starting from his return to injury and going through all that happened afterwards as he defied those who said he was too banged up to have the big run ...

Hey all, just a quick post to say that Reign of Fire, the video all about Kenta Kobashi's GHC title run, is coming this Wednesday! Or at least the first part is -- it's going to be the longest Puro vid yet, and the complete version will be bigger than what I can upload to Vimeo in a week. So Part 1 will be this Wednesday, and...

THIS is the next big Puroresu video!
It's time to do a nice chunky video on one of the most brilliant and glittering reigns in the history of Puroresu -- Kenta Kobashi's GHC Title run in NOAH, match by match. How Kobashi got NOAH all the way to the Tokyo Dome. Expect it around the end of March. :)

Today's vid is about the long and mysterious story of the recently leaked at last remaster of GoldenEye 007 for Xbox 360 -- it was nearly finished before getting cancelled, spent 14 years lost in the wilderness with details about it coming out very slowly, and now it's finally out there.

It's a new vid, yes it is. Today's vid is all about one of the biggest Mega Drive games -- Jurassic Park, and it's the first in a kind of off-the-cuff trilogy of games related to everyone's favourite failed dinosaur theme park. As successful as this game was...gah, it might be one of the quintessential bad Western platformers...

This has been quite a tough video to make. These are Puro wrestlers who, for various reasons, had their careers or even their entire lives cut short, ranging from legends of the past to pretty much the currrent day. Needless to say, things do get quite emotional.

Something a bit different for the latest video...it's all about Get Stuffed. Y'know, the late night short cooking show with the students and the rather full on presentation...oh, and the food. The AWFUL food. This vid features plenty of history on the show, and also a commentary on three quite unpleasant dishes indeed. Enjoy!...
