As one of my favorite forms of entertainment, I have a huge appreciation for pro wrestling. That being said, I really appreciate its history as well. With the insane amount of wrestlers that can be found on the Steam Workshop for Fire Pro Wrestling World, I wasted no time downloading a lot of classic wrestlers when I first got the game a few years ago. The idea of going back to the 1950s came from watching old clips on YouTube of the above matches. Using Fire Pro Wrestling World and harnassing the power of video editing software, I decided to create my interpretation of a 1950’s style wrestling showcase featuring wrestling greats such as Gorgeous George, Lou Thesz, Bobo Brazil, Rikidozan, Verne Gagne, and Ilio Dipaolo.

I’m not very familiar with the Warhammer universe. The lore, species, and history are all things I’m very ignorant of when it comes to Warhammer. I do know that there are Space Marines, Inquisitors, an Emperor, a bunch of aliens, and the fact that it all takes place in the distant future. Outside of that, I would be very lost in a conversation with a Warhammer enthusiast. On the video game front, I’ve played Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Warhammer: Vermitide, and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.

Being a PC gamer allows me to check out many games that are nowhere near ready for a full release. These games are known as “Early Access” games. By purchasing such a game, you become an investor in a project still in development, but get to play what is readily available. One of the cool things about Early Access is that the game is offered at a lower price because you are making a good-faith investment. Sometimes Early Access projects will make it to the big 1.0 version. Other times, they may be abandoned due to a variety of reasons. I did a post back in 2020 that presents some things to think about if you decide to buy an Early Access title. For this post, I want to share some of the good experiences that I’ve had investing in these types of games. Continue Reading
