@steveurkel: The real time aspect of Stellaris appeals to me a lot and contributes to more of a simulation-like feel, whereas turn based 4X games like Endless Space and Civ feel more like a board game to me in a way that's not my favorite.

Role playing is a big appeal as well for me, which is helped by the empire creation system that I think offers more replayability than the premade races/civs of other games in the genre.

I also like the random nature of the research in Stellaris, as again it helps with variety over multiple playthroughs, instead of a set tech tree that I'll always end up finding my ideal path for and always stick to.

I get why Stellaris players on PC are dismissive of this port, but it's not really meant for them. There's really not any other game like this on console, so even though it's an outdated version of the game, it still succeeds at filling that niche.

They announced that it would be the 1.7 version way before release, so my biggest worry was porting the interface/controls to a gamepad, but all the reviews I've seen say it works surprisingly well to control. I've enjoyed all versions of Stellaris since launch, not just 2.0, so I think this is an easy recommend for console players who are interested and don't have a good PC.

Tiger Mask 3 was Koji Kanemoto. He only wrestled in the persona for a couple years early in his career, before he lost a mask vs. mask match to Jushin Liger.

Once you follow New Japan by watching the big shows for a year or two, it becomes pretty easy to memorize the rough schedule for the year. I think of them just like WWE's PPV schedule.

These are the major shows throughout the year, and all you really need to watch to properly follow the promotion:

January- Wrestle Kingdom

February- New Beginning

March- Anniversary show and New Japan Cup

April- Sakura Genesis (formerly Invasion Attack)

May- Best of the Super Juniors tournament and Wrestling Dontaku

June- Dominion

July and August- G1 Climax tournament

September- Destruction

October- King of Pro-Wrestling

November- Power Struggle

December- World Tag League tournament

There are smaller shows scattered throughout (such as crosspromotional shows with CMLL, ROH, and RevPro), and most of the bigger shows have a tour associated with them that has what are essentially house shows leading to the major event. These "Road to..." shows are for the hardcores and the live audience, and while they can be fun, they are almost always nonessential.

In recent years a lot of the shows have been split off into multiple big shows, like the three upcoming New Beginning shows. They do this for Wrestling Dontaku and Destruction as well. And the tournaments are obviously comprised of a lot of shows, usually all taking place over just a few weeks.

@fledeye: Driving tests in the United States (or at least the one I did) are not nearly as comprehensive as yours. 100% of my Drivers Education school was about how to drive, nothing about how the car works.

As for automatic vs. manual, the Drivers Ed car we took our on-the-road lessons in was an automatic, and you do the test in whatever car you bring to the DMV, and passing it in an automatic in no way prohibits you from driving manuals in the future with that same license.

My mom hates driving manuals, so my family never had one when I was learning to drive, so I've never learned how to drive one. I know tons of people where I live that don't drive or know how to drive manuals, I think it's not very uncommon in the US, especially among younger generations.

@asmo917: Man, that totally sucks because through no fault of your own you picked the absolute worst day to start playing Fortnite. Yesterday they had a bunch of issues that I had never seen before in the months I've been playing. The Fortnite team interacts with the community a lot on the Fortnite subreddit and they called out the queue thing you experienced as a glitch, and it is now fixed.

I can understand you being turned off of Fortnite because of this bad experience, but if you're still interested in the game I recommend you giving it another shot. It almost always runs quite smoothly with very little issues like the ones that were happening yesterday.

Can you watch AI simulated matches in this like in Fire Pro? Seems like it would be fun to rig up some crazy stipulation matches and just watch the AI go nuts.
