1) Get out of my way! ********************* Ok so we fugged up something and didn't think it through. As basic as it may sound we didn't take into account that damn air duct in the Hammerlock venue design. Looks cool and adds a nice vibe but it also gets in the friggin way of the camera. It's not quite so bad when you're fighting on the balcony:
But sometimes the camera swings up and it damn near blocks out the whole scene. The easiest way to remedy the situation is to just have the air duct go semi-transparent when it comes in between the camera and a player. But when I say "easiest" I don't necessarily mean "easy". Because we didn't plan ahead for it we kinda locked ourselves into some file formats for art assets that make even the simplest of changes a headache at times. Still, while it may be an annoying problem it isn't exactly a crippling one that will massively affect gameplay at all.
2) Dynamite and Benoit ************************** What's separates the Dynamite Kid's legacy from Chris Benoit's? Apparently, about 15 minutes:
This is a short video interview with Dynamite's ex-wife. Don't watch it if you're a Dynamite Kid fan and don't want your heart broken.
3) Dead Doll Walking ********************************* This may be one of my favorite matches ever. Funny as hell and so damn talented to pull this off:
I don't know if The Undertaker would see the humor in this, though.
4) Crew Under the Knife ************************* My best wishes for a quick and speedy recovery to a long time member of our crew who is undergoing surgery in a few days to remove a benign growth pressing on his spine. In the last few years he started complaining of numbness and weakness in one hand that eventually escalated into losing the use of one arm entirely. It took a long time for doctors to find the cause but they finally did and from what I understand the procedure has a 99% success rate and he'll be back in fighting form in no time. Good luck, man! You won't have to worry about those rotating shifts in heaven any time soon!
In the meantime and in between time, that's it, another edition of Wrestling Gamers United.
