Video Games and Thoughts

 I wanted to get something different out there today. Just for the fact that I'm in a dark place mentally. Halfway through the month and I'm putting a call out for help with groceries. I hate to do so, but the alternative is to not eat, since trying to get outside with a wheelchair is less than ideal right now. 

Anyway, I've been thinking about video games and a couple ideas I'd love to see revisited, hopefully with improvements. 

The first idea would be an update/reboot of the Legends of Wrestling series from the PS2 era. Now, I know Ack! Lame! (Acclaim) is no longer publishing, so we might luck out and get someone useful. Hell, I'd even be happy with 2K doing it. 

Basically, you'd see legends that aren't always covered in games. If it's put out by WWE, since they own the catalogues for so many places, you might be able to draw from a number of places. (we'll still never see Owen Hart in a WWE game) 

Drawing guys like Sammartino, Warrior, Demolition, LOD, Maybe the Midnight Express.. Slaughter, Zbyszko, Hall, Nash, Bundy, Andre, Piper, Orton, etc.. Have arenas and TV presentation from the 80s style. Have a create a wrestler so you can create your own legend, or create legends we know we'll never see.. I think it'd be a cool idea. 

The other idea is similar to an idea from a game I played in the NES era. Legends of the Diamond had 30 playable batters and 6 pitchers. 

Just think with the current technology you could have full teams of legends (I know they would need to license the individual players once retired unless they're in the HOF) 

I mean for example, for the Jays you could have 

Devon White or Lloyd Moseby in CF

Carlos Delgado or John Olerud or Willie Upshaw at 1B

Pat Borders or Ernie Whitt at C

My first thought for second may be a tough one based on his... Extracurricular activities that caused him to have his number unretired by the Jays.. 

Tony Fernandez or Alex Gonzalez at SS

etc..

Pitching: 
Dave Stieb

Jim Clancy

Jimmy Key

Roy Halladay

Ton Henke

...

Now I know some teams would be harder to fill out cough cough Marlins... Rockies cough cough..

but I feel the idea is really cool. Classic stadiums.. For once actually see Exhibition Stadium rendered in a game... lol

Some teams that had stays in multiple cities might even have multiple teams. I don't know. Have a Philadelphia A's team, a KC A's team and an Oakland A's team.. Same with the Braves. Might be fun. Might be impossible to do.. I don't know. 

Anyway..

I have a lot on my mind and I'm hoping that being able to write some of it out will get rid of it. These game idas have been bouncing around for a while. 

I mentioned about worrying about groceries. It's a constant thing. Disability support sucks. And the thing that sucks worse is the morons who just say "Well, you could just work" Have you thought there might be a reason the person is on disability?? I know two people in my building with Cerebral Palsy. Neither of them can do much of anything with their hands.. What work would they be able to do? There's a difference between the people who are on Welfare and the people on Disability. 

I got my tax information in. Last year I received $16K for the year. Doesn't that sound like easy street?? sarcasm

I'm getting now the same amount I made 10-15 years ago working full time. 

Anyway, I hope this finds everyone well. Have a wonderful rest of the month.
