"Your boos mean nothing to me - I've seen what makes you cheer."

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

I made the most downloaded wrestling game of all time, the most positively reviewed, and the longest reigning.

They are the 1st, 2nd & 3rd search results for "wrestling" on Google Play.

A corrupt industry pretends these things never happened.

Name a piece of wrestling lore about yourself.

I want my "title" back... ✊

“NIGGA IS THAT SOLO?!?”

[🕊️ @lichthauch]

The best thing i ever did for my mind was taking seriously the people everyone else laughed at. the paranoids, the obsessives, the men who couldn't shut up about one thing for twenty years. everybody called them crazy and i listened to them instead, because the truth is, normal people do not find anything. they circulate, they sound right, they get invited back, but they have never found a thing in their life. every real idea i came to came from someone who had been dismissed and ridiculed and had kept going anyway. if you want to grow, stop learning from the people who sound like they know truth, and start listening to the people who sound like truth ate them alive

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

Do you have any idea how it feels to be told you're "batshit crazy" by people who spent $150 on a game that lasted 8 weeks? I'm the only sane person left. 🙃

EXCLUSIVE: WWE 2K Developers Hit Hardest By Visual Concepts Layoffs

And there won't be a follow-up to WWE 2K25: Netflix Edition

It's easy to forget that it was barely possible to interact with the ropes at all in 2D, so to be springboarding off them is a big step up!

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

When you've been making games so long that the kids who grew up playing them become actual wrestlers... 🤯

Do not underestimate Mason Rook 🔥

Look at this Finisher it’s a Mixture of Batista Bomb & RKO together 🤯

What do you even call this Move ?

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

How legit my games would look if I had the WWE license (and was allowed to use AI as much as they do!) 🤯

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

You can see how stilted the original looks by comparison - and this is before I've even found a reliable way of recording what the new game looks like at 60fps 1080p... 👴

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

Not only is this the first time we've had realistic rope physics in 2D, but it's also the first time they've actually scored an acceleration boost of up to 200%! The goal of this new 2D universe is to make every little interaction as satisfying as possible. 🏃‍♂️

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

Haha, they even have the preceding letter where they made fun of my name (and wrestling) - shortly before I used both to entertain millions of people. 🙃

My name never gave me "hell", by the way. It gave me 25 years of priceless marketing. 💰

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

An underrated life hack is that you can just "do" things. You can be in a magazine or on a podcast, etc. The world is full of people who had the nerve to step forward and people who are glad that they did. 🤝

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

When you're old enough to have written for @MrBiffo's "Digitiser" - back when you literally waited for each page to appear on your TV screen. Always felt like a fever dream, so thanks to Jamie & Andrew for digging up the evidence that it actually happened! 🤯

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

I made this joke 14 years ago and it has never stopped being relevant! 🤣 #WWERAW

This mf really put himself in the TITLE OF THE VIDEO LMAOOOO u can’t make this up

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

As the industry hits a new low by charging a new high, it feels like the right moment to tag in the most affordable wrestling game of all time! Heavyweight realism is there for those who crave it, but only the lightweight champion will show you moves you've never seen before...✊

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

I'm delighted to confirm that I've been hired by WWE to work on their flame FX! 🔥✊

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

I must admit that I envisaged it as a movie when I first floated the idea 25 years ago. Proof were it ever needed that execution is king, and timing is everything. But don't be afraid to put something out into the universe even if it passes you by. 🤯

A movie adaptation of ‘KINGMAKERS’ is in the works at Netflix

The game is set in medieval Great Britain where players go back in time with a vast arsenal of modern weapons

"Never Give Up" doesn't mean doing the same "5 moves of doom" forever, and having things unfold exactly as planned. 😉

It means knowing when you're beat and having the courage to find another way forward - one that nobody can see until you show them. 🫣

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

Having too many powers is a good problem to have! But if you don't understand what each one does, it may be worth starting a new "Inherit Character" game with them to hear their explanation. It's only a matter of time before it comes up in conversation as well... 🧐

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

If you insist on walking around at 100% health as well as 200% stats, another solution is to set "Sleep" as your transformation, with "Regeneration" as your innate power, and "Healing" focused on yourself: 💪

[MDickie @MDickieDotcom]

On PC & Switch you can also now sleep twice as easily via the right thumbstick. I have yet to settle on a touchscreen command for this (without relying on the pause menu), but sleeping in a chair is advised if you can't find a bed: 🛌
