This is the third Rumble write-up I’ve done so far, and this is one I could almost do from memory. When I was a kid, my parents dubbed the Royal Rumble 1990 VHS tape we rented so I could watch it whenever I wanted. I haven’t done away with the dead wrestler commentary yet, as I’ve already had a few of these written up just waiting to submit. Just bear with me and it’ll tail off by the 1993 Royal Rumble. On with the show!

Losing Your Voice

As he is wont to do, Ormberg had a little fuss recently. He took offense to the claim from WT and yours truly that the actor who made the best Batman was Kevin Conroy. At this point you may be scratching your head and wondering who the hell I’m talking about. Kevin Conroy is a veteran voice actor who has provided the voice for many animated incarnations of the caped crusader. His credits include the popular Batman animated series of the 90’s, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and the Gotham Knight DVD that serves as a bridge between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight as well as cameos in several other shows and mediums. No one has mastered the distinction between Bruce Wayne and The Batman like Conroy has. Not only can he move so effortlessly between billionaire playboy and hardened vigilante, but he manages to do so in a way that feels natural, that these are two aspects of the same individual, neither more valid or real than the other. Yet, as much as it pains me to say so, Ormie has a point.

The Quest: 500 gamerscore points in every 360 game I own.

I didn’t bother with an update last week because I was behind in my work, and my to do list had exceeded the scary 1500 mark. So for the past two weeks, I’ve spent most of it working as opposed to doing the achievement challenge. It’s not all bad news however, as we manage to get three games removed from the “to complete” list.
