American Ninja Warrior 11 Review: Baltimore Finals (TOTAL DISASTER!)

Oh boy. This episode was a total disaster to watch live. Trust me, I was there. The Baltimore Finals showed us the easy front runner for Ninja Killer of the year in the form the Angry Birds. I wonder how Sony Animations feels about being associated with an obstacle that caused so much pain and suffering?

Also, poor Cane Lane. We never got to see it! I was looking forward to seeing that in person!

American Ninja Warrior 11 Review: Oklahoma City Qualifiers


It's time to discuss the Oklahoma City Qualifiers! The course featured some interesting new obstacles (and one really lame obstacle). The episode itself had many great moments and one moment I had a HUGE problem with. Didn't ruin the episode, but it did put a damper on things.

Friday, June 7, 2019

American Ninja Warrior 11 Review: Atlanta Qualifiers


Obstacle course? We have no time to show an obstacle course! We have to make sure you know that the Secret Life of Pets 2 is out in theaters! Welcome to the future of the show, where we need movie sponsorships and weird editing to keep the show going.

Friday, May 3, 2019

Let's Play American Ninja Warrior Challenge Part 9: LEGALLY DISTINCT JESSIE GRAFF

For his final season as Emerald, William harnesses the power of Jessie Graff! Oh wait, my bad. I meant to say he harnesses the power of the Super Ninja costume, which is 100% different from the outfit Jessie wore during the LA city qualifiers and finals in 2016. There is absolutely no way they are trying to profit from her likeness without paying her. They would *never* do that.

Trust me.

American Ninja Warrior Challenge is here! Despite some questionable looking trailers, William decided to buy this game on Day 1 and attempt to defeat all 4 stages of Midoriyama to become an American Ninja Warrior Champion! Shouldn’t be too hard, right?

No seriously, this shouldn’t be too hard. There’s no way this game will have confusing controls. On paper, this absolutely should be an easy game to design. What could possibly go wrong?

National Ninja League Season 4 World Championships: Review & Recap (THIS WAS ROUGH)


I love the National Ninja League… but I have to be honest, the season 4 world championship was not great. Between an overly difficult course and a venue that was way too small, the entire weekend was filled with bad vibes. There were still some positives like being around friends and getting to commentate the livestream. It just wasn’t enough to overcome the many issues of the event.

Join William as he explains his point of view as a spectator as well as some of the stuff behind of scenes!

Sasuke 36 Was Pretty Good! (Review)

Sasuke 36 closed out 2018 with a bang! Paired with a boxing match, the tournament held the Final Stage live right before the year came to an end! Between a fast paced First Stage and a daunting Third Stage, Sasuke 36 contained many memorial and exciting moments. It's a shame the Second Stage still needs work.
