Relevant for my last post, and one of my favorite YouTube essayists.

Also, this version won't be called Project Outsider Ex. The official name, fitting with my mid 90s sensibilities will be...

Project Outsider X-Treme

Quick Project Outsider Ex update. I finally finished porting the 108 moveset/stat/logic sets from the last Project Outsider release. I have to set a bunch of more stuff, but that'll be a lot easier. My goal is by the end of the month, but I really want to release it by next weekend.

But to get to that area of France, you need access to the ferry, which can only be done if you have the high jump boots, dash ability, and traded the blue jewel for a red jewel.

Yeah, I remember the Castlevania/Twilight crossover too.

You're mistaken. Actually Castlevania got it's name because it was the first Metroidvania to take place in a castle.

One thing I really like about the Metroidvanias is how they expanded this design into the full castle map. Like you go into an area, see the clock gears or waterways and realize where you would be in the original game.

Of course I also remember that one very, very racist review of, I think, Ace Combat.

There was so much stuff that could have been awesome, but fizzled out. I always hated how there was so much match and story potential of TAKA Michinoku's former Kaentai stablemates targeting him. Then it turned into lame stereotypical things like "choppy pee pee" and Japanese dubbing is funny.

There was still some of the New Generation corniness, but I actually like the balance of that as well looking back.

The rise of Austin, Bret Hart's heel turn, Farooq's Nation of Domination, Undertaker's post undead mortician phase, the lite ECW crossover, early New Age Outlaws, Sasuke vs Taka, Mankind vs HBK at IYH Mind Games, and even though Fake Razor and Diesel was a bust, Jim Ross's heel promo was awesome.

Looking back at those episodes, I realize that my favorite era wasn't the Attitude era, but the window in 1996/7 between the New Generation and Attitude when WWF was just experimenting with edginess instead of going overboard...

I want to take a moment to honor the late Jerry Lawson, the Electronic Engineer who led the design of the 'Fairchild Channel F' console and also designed the FIRST interchangeable game (ROM) cartridges.

The game industry wouldn't be what it is today without Jerry's brilliance. (cont..)

At the point in Project Outsider where I'm posting CPU matches. I was hoping to have it finished by the end of the year, but real life got in the way. Hopefully a late Jan release if I can.
