Finished Turf Wars 100 % moments ago. Unfortunately I didn't like this one very much. Basically that's because there's so much fighting in the game, it's pretty much all there is in this piece of the DLC. We are far, far away from the main game's interesting and imaginitive missions with lots of variety. My right thumb even hurts a bit from all that punching and dodging. Also, this was the most difficult story chapter in Spidey's world so far, I feel. Those were some tough and long fights, and there's a lot of them. This one new enemy type with a jetpack and an energy shield can go eat some shit, by the way. Did I swear a lot or what with all of these mixed together.

The story itself was pretty okay, though short. Hammerhead was, I don't know, a decent villain. Yuri has also more screen time this time around, which was appreciated. All three new suits were really good, I liked them. Two really cool classics and a really refreshing wild one.

The work has resumed on episodes 3 and 4, release dates will be announced soon.

Man, what an awesome special guest star. I was listening to the character for a good while, being like "this can't be any of the guys". And he sure wasn't. :)

That one shot on the edge of the acid pool was created really neatly, a 3D effect of sorts.

The game arrives next week, on November 27th.

Lots of connections to the first one, which makes me nod approvingly.

Platinum #100: Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Reignited Trilogy).

Finished Year of the Dragon. This time I did what I couldn't as a kid 18 years ago: I managed to beat that stupid skate/sledge challenge in the bonus world and actually saw the "last page of the story" finally, with 150 eggs and all. Peace of mind, mmm.

A really enjoyable collection, playing Spyro felt as good as back then. I love the way he moves, how you control him. And the structure of pretty much all the worlds and levels is just solid, as time hasn't really done damage anywhere. Some fine platforming and collect-a-thons.

Survivor Series came and went. About the results there:

What a weird concept to have RAW just win everything, 6-0, this year. Maybe some big changes are coming to SmackDown, and this acts as a story point to that.

Charlotte and Ronda was way better than I had hoped, that match became physical, kinda cool and pretty even. Shame about the ending, then, but I guess Ronda couldn't have her first 1v1 loss in a "non-canon" match like this. (And it honestly wouldn't have been believable if she won.) I wonder if this was supposed to have ended in DQ even with Becky originally.

Lesnar vs. Bryan was, well, a typical Brock match. Bryan's second wind was sort of cool, and I actually got a bit excited when Lesnar looked for a moment that maybe he'd actually tap out, but no, it was just false hope (again.) WWE sure has painted Brock as an unstoppable behemoth, his power levels, so to speak, are way beyond anyone. Like waaaay beyond. He doesn't have believable challengers anywhere. I honestly can't see him losing in other than a Triple Threat match or something where he doesn't have to be involved in the pin. They've made him otherwise unconquerable, which is crazy in its own way.

Nia Jax got the biggest boos of the evening because of Becky. Well deserved, those ones. But of course they just went along with it and brought it into the story. I guess that's fair, but it was great to witness those real reactions in any case like this.

There's a two and a half hour Spoiler Moder up in Patreon now with Jones, Brad and Huber. It was really enjoyable to have this deep dive conversation into the game and everything in it like this, go check it out when you're finished with the story.

Too many great things to mention. Loved Brandon's Dutch impression.

@bam541 I'm aiming it to be Year of the Dragon at this point. Dragon's my Chinese zodiac sign as well, I was 12 when I played that game the first time on Christmas holiday 2000.
