It may be fashionable to pile on now, but never forget that this time last year we were assured that #AEWFightForever was 'no question... far and away... the best wrestling game... a worthy heir.... a faithful homage' (by the same journalists who mocked indie efforts). 🙃

Every day, I wake up and argue with wrestling fans about whether my life's work is worth $4. This $100 monstrosity is absolutely soul destroying, but ensuring it never happens again is a hill I'm willing to die on... 💀

I was laughed out of the building when I pitched taking sports games back to the streets in 2001. Trickled out into the mainstream eventually, but still has a lot of untapped potential... ✊

It's still too early for projectile weapons to go public in a school game, but abusing the new hairdryer is something to look forward to?!

Catching fights on CCTV seems even more appropriate outside of wrestling, so it will be interesting to see what other projects do with it... 🎥

Samoan tattoos have also come to school - where snarky remarks are the risk you take for daring to be different...🤨

Who are you making with this new headwear? 🤔

v1.1.1 of #OldSchool is also now live across all platforms, which keeps up with all the latest wrestling developments and then introduces yet more new content of its own:

CM Punk but the CM is Compton Made 🎤

Peter Rosenberg Rap and Pro Wrestling have so many similarities...you create a character, with a stage name , persona , style and costume .. there are feuds , performances , fans who swear it's real , and it's at is best when the line between art and reality is blurred ...

One of my favourite gimmicks from the booking mode is the 'Hot Crowd' that pops for everything at full volume! France about to take it from the UK... #SmackDown 🇫🇷

The next time you get injured, it's fun to head into the editor and sell it with a neck brace! I didn't want to override your costume choices by forcing you to wear it... 🤕

v1.6.5 of #WrestlingEmpire is now working its way onto each platform just in time for the weekend: 🥳

Back in the civilized world, actual toilet tissue makes its 3D debut to relieve yourself on the move. As crafting starts to make more sense, you can even turn school books into tissue (although I don't recommend it in real life!): 🧻

In honour of the hardest worker in the room, you can now piss into an empty bottle to fill it back up! 🍾

Being agile enough to duck under a strike is also a welcome new antidote to spamming: 🤜

Trading blows is what happens when 2 brawlers spam the attack button, but it's equally possible to floor people with one good shot (if you trust them to stay down!): 👊

In amongst trading blows at the same time, it's also possible to unleash targeted individual shots. Just don't expect 'First Blood' matches to last long anymore! 👊
