As an AEW fan and someone who is consistently disappointed in WWE, I reject this decision. π

So thatβs why future DadSon looks like Trash Hulk!
Michael Cummings
βHe fucks like a broken trainβ for knife daddy is one of the funniest fucking sentences ever.

I run a Conan Exiles community on PC and I would be honored for Monster Factory to use my server to remake my favorite episode

Gonna be that, "well actually" guy and take us back to 2008 when the spore character creator launched as a standalone before the game came out. Years before Saints Row did it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore_Creature_Creator

Whenever a game let's me make a character, i will always try to make "Man with Two Dragons souls in his body fighting for control" which Monster Hunter World let me do very very very well. Or i make a leather daddy like i did in City Of Heros, Daddy Jacko the Pumpkin Headed Leather Daddy

Haven't even gotten to the Spore talk yet but just going off of the rubric Spore should take this entire thing. Spore is an infinity machine when it comes to robustness of the creator. As far as the second part of the rubric goes you are evolving your creature throughout the game to excel in what you want to do in the game.

So nice they published it twice
Zachary Martel
I think Kenshi would have gone pretty deep in this bracket.
