gregbrown Posted January 21, 2013 What is it? Title says it all. WWE '13 allows you to create custom wrestlers, and share them with others online. Bazza, the guy who runs this, sets up CPU vs. CPU battles of video game characters—some of which he's created himself, and some which he's grabbed elsewhere online. They're accompanied by appropriate music, and an ongoing wrestling-style storyline. Why should I care? Because I guarantee you that tuning in will be hilarious as hell. Watching the archived streams only gets you part of the story; most of the appeal is in watching the stream while the live chat explodes at every turn. It's the best. More importantly, though, wrestling culture is fascinating. I've never been able to get into any of the televised stuff, but seeing characters turn face or heel in real-time is pretty hilarious, especially when they're Rafael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And like I said, the live chat REALLY gets into it—to pages of "1000 YEARS OF PIZZA" chants when Rafael wins a match. How do I tune in? VGCW runs about once a week at Bazza's Twitch.tv channel. On nights where it does run, the action starts at 6pm Eastern/3pm Pacific, sometimes with some pre-show events before that time. How do you know when Bazza's running it? He'll announce that "Tonight is the Night" on his twitter feed. I also highly recommend creating a Twitch.tv account and downloading their iOS app. That way you'll get push notifications to your phone whenever the channel goes online.

gregbrown Posted January 22, 2013 This makes it sound like a underground club or society that communicates using codes and secret signals. This is surprisingly apt since the live chat is filled with so much wrestling lingo that it's endearing. Also, there will be a show tomorrow night at 6pm Eastern, 3pm Pacific! Tune in, and follow along with the live chat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
