VICTORY!! The PSN Store remains open for PS3 and PS Vita

This just in.

Jim Ryan, the president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, reconsidered his decision to shutdown the PSN store on PS3 and PS Vita after receiving such negative press, citing that by shutting them down, Sony would lose their customers, game designers quitting and not to mention losing millions of dollars in revenue alone, all because Sony want to favor more of the PS4 and PS5 than maintaining balance, along with saving a lot of DLCs and digital games to purchase. I was going to send a letter to Jim Ryan personally when the news of SIE's decision came. And my fears of missing out forever were wiped away clean when they halted the shutdown.

And yes, I am aware that only the PSN Store on the PSP will still shut down, but I just hope that all the PSP games will still be available on your PSN store on your PS3 and PS Vita, waiting to be purchased and the downloaded and transferred into your PSP. Only time will tell if this is true.

But until then, this is a joyous moment for all gamers. Now I could take my time in getting all the DLC costumes for DOA5 Last Round and get games like Castlevania Chronicles, Bionic Commando ReArmed and Elevator Action Deluxe. The Playstation Network is more than just a network, it is a community. A community that stood up for what's right and took it to Jim Ryan and we won. This is a great time to be a gamer, retro and modern alike.

This has been a Retro Rebellion Special Report.

Super Smash Bros.Ultimate Predictions and Wants

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is winding down,according to Masahiro Sakurai,with only 2 More DLC fighters to go. I personally think that there's gonna be a 3rd Fighters Pass,but with only 3 fighters

Anyway,ever since WiiU/3DS,SmashFans have been making predictions on who's gonna join the roster next. They also have their own wishlists too. So,Today,I'm gonna make my Own Predictions and Wishlist for Smash Ultimate.  

Now I predict that that the Next (or final 2,according to sakurai) Fighters will be either Ryu Hayabusa,RayMan,Crash Bandicoot,A Monster Hunter Rep,Gen 8 Pokemon Cinderace,and Dante. 

2 of these Fighters are likely to be in Smash next. Now for my Mii Costume Predictions.

For Mii Brawlers:

Quick Update 4/13/2021

 Hey there,

Thought I give you a quick update. As you know, I am back doing my blogs here at Retro Rebellion, but I am doing one blog at a time (unless it's a quick one, meaning 2 or 3 blogs). But, I am doing everything I can to make a difference, not just for animation, but also for gaming, too. Speaking of which, in case you didn't hear, Sony Interactive Entertainment is closing down the PSN store off our PS3, PSP and PS Vita consoles, starting July 2nd, in favor for PS4 and PS5 content only. And I am fighting against this bend over backwards decision done by SIE. The Playstation brand is big enough for all consoles, including the PS3. Why couldn't they just make a separate PSN webstore for those aforementioned consoles? Anyway, if you want to fight back against this injustice, the link to a petition to stop the inevitable PSN store closing is below the end of the blog. It is not just modern gamers that would be effect, but also retro gamers like me and Stefan. Unless they make the DLCs free to download, this is a mistake. Just like with voice actors, I am fighting for all gamers, as well. It's time we take to Sony and their crooked business decisions.

Saraba da (Farewell)...for now.

Petition: Sony, please don't shut down the PSN store on PS3 & PS Vita

Jason's Gallery - She-Hulk: Savage Femininity

The following fan art is a page by page transformation sequence of Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk. Hope you will like them.

Art by: Jason Ayala aka RekkaDragonJay

Written by: Unzipped, former moderator of the Homage to Savage She-Hulk fanpage

Jennifer Walters was unable to contain the burning rage which now flooded through her veins. A chemical change came over the young lawyer, releasing the gamma rays present in her cells since that fateful blood transfusion two months ago. At the very same time, Jen felt something stir in her soul, a part of her she always kept repressed and hidden away - and this soul fragment wanted freedom!

Unable to control the physical and psychological alterations of her being, Jennifer ran to a nearby alley to hide from each passer-by's gaze. She knew all too well that fighting the change without tranquilizers was a battle lost in advance. So, the young woman could only try to find a place where the impending and inevitable transformation would happen covertly.

Leaning on a brick wall, breathing heavily, Jennifer tried one last time to reduce her pulse rate and control her emotions but to no avail : irradiated adrenalin had burst into her system and was pumping stronger than ever, triggering the lawyer's transformation into her savage self!

Primal instincts were gradually chasing her rationality away and an incredible power began to manifest in her jolting body, weakening Jennifer's willpower even more. Massive amounts of mutated oestrogen and endorphins were released in her system in turn, stimulating her femininity and helping to keep the pain of the transformation in check. Once again, Jennifer didn't want to indulge in these powerful feelings but she cared about it less and less as her personality was gradually shifting into the She-Hulk's one. Finally, her resolution faded away and the Emerald Amazon took possession of her, enjoying her moment of triumph...

As soon as Jennifer surrendered to the transformation, a strange green hue quickly replaced her normal skin color, matching her dilated eyes. In parallel, the young woman's body gained size and mass at an astonishing speed, stretching her white summer dress more and more. It was obvious that another startling change was affecting the growing woman : Jennifer's musculature was developing steadily as biceps, thighs and back muscles drank in the change, appearing to delight in the power they were being given. In a few seconds, Jen's body gained proportions rivaling those of the most accomplished athletes in the world ! A hint of a smile appeared upon the forming amazon's face, her eyes closed before the onslaught of feelings and sensations taking hold of her.

But the transformation wasn't over yet. All of a sudden, Jen's green hue darkened to a vivid emerald tone, this color shift heralding the main phase of her metamorphosis. Moans from both pleasure and pain escaped Jennifer's lips as a new surge of growth affected her body, hips and chest widening to give her an hourglass shape every woman could envy. Her usually plain hair lengthened up to her powerful shoulders, disordered dark green curls multiplying to form an impressive wild mane. Jennifer gnashed her teeth as her face's bone structure reshaped itself to give her new and even more beautiful features, the young woman's lips plumpening sensually. Light-green nails extended beyond Jen's fingertips and became strong as iron, digging grooves in the brick wall she was leaning against.

The rising fury's muscles experienced an impressive growth again as the power of gamma rays was fully released, changing the demure lawyer into the most powerful woman on Earth ! This time, Jen's white dress couldn't face such a fast and massive expansion and the small rips which had formed so far enlarged drastically in a staccato of sounds, revealing measurably more of the Amazon's incredible jade body. Deep inside her, the fading Jennifer felt embarrassment about this exposure but to her surprise some excitation as well; her natural inhibitions were blatantly subdued by the She-Hulk's strong nature and in a last moment of clarity she wondered which part of her the jade giantess gave life to...

The She-Hulk was fully conscious now and ignored Jennifer's qualms easily; in fact, she knew that the last steps of the transformation would make short work of her modesty. The Amazon threw back her head and couldn't repress a sensual and satisfied roar as her already impressive breasts tore through the dress front, while her buttocks were also swelling to the same extent, further destroying the overmatched cloth.

The Green Goddess was back!

Fantasy WrestleMania Card.

Today is WrestleMania Day,in-fact WrestleMania will be a 2-Day event this year. So to celebrate,I'm gonna be putting together My own Personal Fantasy WrestleMania Card,featuring WWE Superstars,Legends,and Hall of Famers.

Now there are no limits for selections. Meaning, I can use Wrestlers who are either Dead,Retired,or Working for another Wrestling Promotion. The Only rule is that they Must've been a WWE Superstar at some point. So guys like Harlem Heat,Various Low-Tier Members of the nWo,Ole Anderson,Nikita Koloff,etc will Not be part of this list. Same goes for the Commentators who never stepped foot into WWE.

Also,because every match on this Fantasy Card will be Dream Matches,I've decided to forgo having any Titles on the line. So no Championship Matches.

Anyway,on with that out of the way,let's get things started.

Interviewer(s): "Mean" Gene Okerland,Todd Pettingil,and Kayla Braxton

Special Attraction #2: Piper's Pit - Guest: "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes.

Match 11: Steel Cage Match - "The Animal" Dave Batista v "The Beast" Brock Lesnar (Retro rules apply. Meaning,that the only way to win is to either climb out of the cage or go through the cage door)

Main Event: 5-Way Generation Leader Battle - Bruno Sammartino v Hulk Hogan v Bret "Hitman" Hart v "Stone Cold" Steve Austin v John Cena.

Creating An Old-School Hero Dream Team (Live-Action)

Today,we're gonna do something a bit different. I'm gonna be creating a Live Action Old-School Hero Dream Team. Why? Just Because! Anyway,what I'm gonna be doing is list some Live-Action TV and Movie Characters from the Best Decades and giving them positions on the team. 

One more thing. Jase,I'd like you to make your own Old-School Hero team. You like doing stuff like this,so it shouldn't be trouble for you. Now let's get to work.

Mr. Miyagi: The Wise and humorous Secondary Mentor of the Team. 

Cordel Walker (Chuck Norris Version): The Team Leader. The Greatest Texas Ranger and an Awesome Martial Arts Expert. 

Tommy Oliver:  The 2nd In-Command. Uses his Master Morpher to transform into one of 4 Power Ranger forms.

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo Version): The Team's Strongman.

Iolaus: Hercules' Partner and Best Friend.

Xena: The Warrior Princess.  Master of the Chakram. Great Swordfighter.

Gabrielle: Xena's Partner and Best Friend. Master of both the Staff And the Sais.

Joxer The Mighty: He's a bit of a Goof,but he means well and has proven himself on various occasions. 

Mr.T: The Team Toughguy. He Pitties All Fools.

Emmet "Doc" Brown: Great Scott! He's the Team Genius/Inventer.

Weird Al Yankovic: The King of Parodies is the Team "Fun Guy". A Master of Disguise,with a Magic Accordion.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels: The Rogue of the Team. An Awesome Athlete,but is Egocentric.

Sting: The Loner. He comes and goes as he pleases. Helping out when things seem dire.

Other Allies include: Tim "The Toolman" Taylor,Al Borland,Tim Taylor,Toolgirl Heidi,Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and the Crew of the Enterprise,Commander Sisko and the Crew of DS9,Yoda,Luke Skywalker,Han Solo,Chewbacca,Leia,Dan LaRusso,Marty McFly,The Ghostbusters,The Power Rangers,Salmoneus,Shaq,Michael Knight and Kitt,MacGyver,"Renagade" Reno Raines,Rocky Balboa,Dr.Demento,The WWF Superstars,The WCW Superstars,The Fonz,Sabrina Spellman,Steve Urkle,and Autolycus.

And those are my picks for an Old-School Super Hero Team of Live-Action characters. I may do American Animated,Anime,and Video Game versions in the future. Oh,and remember Jase,If you wanna do this,your choices need to be characters from the 70's,80's,and 90's. Early 2000's is ok too,but mainly those 3 aformentioned decades.

Until Next Time,

Stay Gold,Space Cowboys.
