*sigh* It's been a full month of inactivity and with good reason. I've been very very busy with things both outside and inside the net. And,timewise,things are just gonna keep getting worse from here on out.
So,with with that said,I've decided to terminate this blog. I have no choice. My current schedule and living conditions prevent me from managing 4 Blogs. I had such big plans for this blog and it's regretful that I have to shut it down. But,I think this is for the best.
And just because the blogs going away,doesn't mean that it's posts will. Starting January 2019,The American Cartoon Federation will be getting a Reboot and the posts will be reposted there.
Thanks for all of the support,guys. Stay Gold,Space Cowboys.

What Counts as True Retro In Gaming
First off lemmie just say that Modern M-Rated titles Suck! These games contain way way too much Extreme Swearing and Sex. That's one reason why I'm a Retro Gamer. Plus,I Hate the fact that most modern titles are basically playable Hollywood Movies.
Anyway,What constitutes as True Retro in Gaming? Answer: Everything up to Dreamcast is True Retro Gaming. Everything else beyond is modern. The only execption is the GBA,which itself is a Retro Gaming System.
I don't care if The PS2,XBox,Game Cube,ect. are over 10 years old,they don't and will Never Ever count as Retro! They are instead "Older Modern". Sure the games from those systems may be "Old" but they ain't Retro. It's more than just the graphics and sound that makes a game Retro,it's the attitude. And the attitude of the games for the mentioned systems are Modern.
And there's the answer to the question of the day!

Ideas That Might Just Help Save The WWE
WWE is in the Craphole! After 3 PPV disasters in a row (wrestlemania 35,greatest royal rumble,and backlash 2018) and RAW (and smackdown to a lesser extant) failing every week,WWE is quickly becoming Must-Not-See TV.
On the Main Roster,Stars are being missused and some even being ignored completely. Roman Reigns fails as both a Babyface And a Main Eventer. Plus we have Brock Lesnar,a part timer,as WWE Universal Champion. This dude rarely Ever shows up. And these problems are just the tip of the iceberg.
There's only one man to blame for these atrocities,and his name is Vincent Kennedy McMahon! Because of his inability to think right nowadays,The WWE is losing fans and viewers at breakneck speed and ticket sales are lower than they have ever been.
But,that's what we are gonna address today. Here are some Ideas I have that might just help save the WWE.
#1 - Turn Roman Reigns Heel and Bust Him Down To Opening Bouter: This is the first thing that must be done. As a heroic Ring Warrior and Main Eventer,Reigns is a failure. He's booed every time he appears and cursed out everytime he headlines an event. The best thing to do for the Samoan Super now is to turn him and demote him to Opening Bouter. He'll be in the first match instead of the final. Also,have Roman lose for a bit. This simple formula will help the Big Dog recover both his career And credibility.
#2 - WWE and NXT Women's Tag Team Championship: This one is desperately needed. Ever since the Women's Evolution,fans have been begging for a Women's Tag division. Why it hasn't happened yet? Blame McMahon's short sightedness. WWE and NXT have plenty of women who can form tag teams and start this division. Do It WWE!
#3 - Revive The Hardcore Championship (with the 24/7 Rule): It'd be wise for WWE to revive the WWE Hardcore Championship..and with it,The 24/7 Rule. It'll be a Smackdown exclusive title And be Intergender. This is another title that fans wanted to see return for the longest time. The revival of the WWE Hardcore Championship is guarenteed to generate ratings and ticket sales.
#4 - Give the NXT Call-ups an Equally Fair Push: The Main Roster hasn't been to kind to many many NXT call-ups. Though some have been lucky,most have not been,it all depends on whether Vince McMahon likes them or not. This practice Needs to stop. All NXT call-ups are great athletes and need to have a fair chance,and pushed equally too. NXT is WWE's future and if Vince McMahon continues treating the NXT stars like crap,WWE will Have no future.
#5 - Banning Part-Timers From Championship Oppertunities: A part-time champion is a terrible champion.Period! Part-timers de-value championships,like how Brock Kesnar is de-valuing the Universal Title. Most part-timers don't appear on TV or PPVs too often and we don't like that. We want to see our Champ's regularly. As soon as Brock Lesnar loses the WWE Universal Title,WWE needs to create a new rule Banning all part-timers from championship oppertunities.
#6 - Scrap The Scripts: This one will save the creative and writing teams headaches. Just tell the Superstars not to use certain words,jokes,or innuendos in their promo's and we're great to go. Keep things PG and/or Soft PG-13.
#7 - Cut Raw Back to 2-Hours: To Hell What Comcast Wants! We The People,We The Fans Hate the 3-Hour Raw! And while you're at it,cut your PPV's to 4 hours too. One Hour for the kickoff,the other 3 for the Main Show.
#8 - Reviving Starrcade As A PPV: Making the Starrcade Reboot a House Show was a Really Retarded Idea! Starrcade was meant to be a PPV anyways.
#9 - A Women-Only PPV: Another overdue concept. The Greatest Royal Rumble was Men-Only. So why not make the 1st ever Women's PPV a Survivor Series. It'll be the Ultimate Survivor Series.
#10 - Revisiting Old Match Concepts: In the past,both WWE and WCW had some cool Match Concepts. One such concept was WWE's Ultimate Survival Match,which was only used once and that was at Survivor Series '90. In this Match,the survivors of the Elimination matches return for 1 more Elimination Match. Another concept WWE only used once was the Wild Card Match,where 4 or 5 random wrestlers form a team andcstrive to survive. This concept started and ended at Survivor Series '95. Other concepts that can be revived are: WCW's Leathal Lottery and Battle Bowl and WCW's Doomsday Cage.
#11 - Ban Backstage Politics: Trust me,backstage politics hurt the industry..a lot.
#12 - Treat The Money In The Bank Breifcase Like A Title: Self explainatory. Things will be more interesting that way. Speaking of...
#13 - Tag Team MITB: I think It would be awesome to have a Money In The Bank match for Tag Teams.
#14 - Better Booking and Storytelling: Obviously.
#15 - Needed Changes to Wrestlers: There's just too many Wrestlers to list here. But a decent example would be Bobby Lashley. Instead of a laid-back babyface,Bobby should be a no-nonsense fighter. I'd call him Bobby "Bone Crusher" Lashley. I may make a complete list one day.
#16 - An Indy Superstar v WWE Made Storyline: A rehash of WCW's New Blood Storyline,but done better.Story will go like this: WWE's Indy made Superstars rage against Vince McMahon's treatment of them and how the WWE made guys are getting treated way better. They rebel and a war between the Indy Made Stars and WWE Made Superstars begins. The authority would be split as well,with Triple H and Shane McMahon siding with the Indy Made guys,while Vince and Stephanie would side with the WWE Made guys. Paige would also side with the Indies,while Kurt Angle would side with the WWE Made.
#17 - Mix Tag Divisions for both NXT and the Main Roster: A longshot,but wouldn't it be cool if the Mix Match Challenge was a normal thing? Definatly! Would make good television too.
#18 - WWE Queen Of The Ring: An All Women King of the Ring for NXT. The crown will also be treated as a Championship.
#19 - Listen To The Fans: Sometimes the fans are right on things,when they tell you that they don't want Roman Reigns as the Main Guy,they mean it! When fans want someone to be pushed,you guys push'em. It's Not That difficult!
And those are the ideas I have that might just save the WWE. And if Vince won't listen to me,than WWE is doomed!
Until next time,Stay Gold,Space Cowboys!

Ways To Make The (Likely) Mega Man X9 Good!
Ever since the announcements of Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Mega Man 11 back in December,It's no secret that Capcom is interested in making Mega Man X9 (if they haven't started on it already).
After the Horror that was X8,fear strikes me whenever I hear of a new entry to the X Series being teased. X8 got tons of things wrong and I fear that Capcom might repeat X8's sins with the Next title. Here are the 4 ways to keep X9 from being like X8 (ie. terrible):
1 - Give X his series back. X Needs his spotlight back. I don't give 1 Billion Shits if Zero was Supposed to be the Main character in the first place. By that logic,then X6-CM aren't canon,since X5 was supposed to be the final game in the X Series..or atleast the main X series timeline. That might have been what was planned,but the plans have clearly changed. So Don't you dare use That argument.
2 - Fair Level Layouts. No Autoscrolling Levels either. X8 was painful to playthrough Because of these factors. Alternate routes would be nice too,if you have trouble with one path,you can take an easier one.
3 - Keep Sigma the Main Villian. No one likes that little pussweed Lumine.
And 4 - Bring back the Traditional Lives System. Having Continues replace Lives in X8 was really Really annoying.
X8 was trash in terms of fun factor,thanks to the stages. Hell,I still can't progress through the game without a cheat device. But,it did have some good things about it (as overshadowed as they were). Here are the X8 elements that I'd love to see return for X9:
Rapid-Firin' Axl - Admittedly,Capcom made,the formerly lameass,Axl cool in X8,especially with his Rapid Firing guns.
The Z-Knuckle - Had a bitch of a time getting this,but I'm glad I did. The Z-Knuckle is a fun weapon for Zero,that I hope returns for X9 (and is much easier to get).
Tag Teams and Double Team Attacks - The Tag feature goes back all the way to Xtreme 2,but X8 improved upon it by adding Double Team Moves. This should return as well.
Combining Armor Parts - This was the most creative thing in the game. The ability to collect and combine various X Armor parts was sweet. Sure,I couldn't get most of them,but it's a cool concept,nevertheless.
Ladies Day - Make the Navigators Playable Again,Capcom!
Button Codes At Title Screen - Self expainatory. Unlock cool stuff by imputing button codes on the title screen.
Other things that are needed:
- X4-X6 Ultimate Armor
- 16 or 32-bit graphics.
- Mega Man X Amiibo to unlock Special Armors for X.
- Zero Amiibo to unlock Kuro Zero.
- Axl Amiibo to unlock stuff for Axl.
- A Good Story focusing on X and maybe bringing back a Classic Series character. We need more Classic stuff in X.
If Capcom does all of these And also releases the game on the Switch too (in addition to the other consoles),X9 would be pretty damn good. BTW,with all of this talk about individual Mega Man Anniversaries,got me thinking about The Ruby Spears Mega Man 25th Anniversary in 2019. You know I'll be celebrating it Fully. Well,that's all I have to say about this topic.
