[2000 & 2006] On This Day: AJPW holds its first post-NOAH show in Differ Ariake; and the short-lived, fraudulent, King's Road splinter-group holds its final show. Here are the shows and cards.

##Card

Match Type Notes
Scorpio vs. Giant Kimala Singles Clipped
Maunakea Mossman vs. Yuto Aijima Singles Clipped
Jinsei Shinzaki [M-Pro] & Johnny Smith vs. Yoshiaki Fujiwara & Shigeo Okumura Tag-Team Clipped
Steve Williams & Wolf Hawkfield vs. Mike Barton & George Hines Tag-Team Clipped
Toshiaki Kawada vs. Masanobu Fuchi Singles First post-split main event; Fuchi’s re-introduction into high-level competition

##Notes

  • The show never broadcast in full. Much of the initial post-split stuff was recorded for home video compilations, later re-broadcast on GAORA compilations in November/December. We wouldn’t see more from individual shows until early 2001. PPVs, a SamuraiTV deal, and the GAORA deal being upgraded to once a week in 2002 ensured a very steady stream of content.

  • The well-regarded main event is Fuchi's re-introduction as a serious player in AJPW, after spending the last several years in undercard comedy matches. Still a great technician and bastard, and as this match would show, a sympathetic underdog as he takes a beating in preparation for the coming months.

  • The guys splitting for NOAH haven’t totally left yet. They return for a few shows throughout July which are held for a big-money sponsor that both NOAH wanted to please and AJPW didn’t want to just cancel on. None of those last shows with the NOAH guys were taped for TV or an AJPW home video release.

  • Though it is true AJPW lost all but four signed guys (Kawada, Fuchi, Mossman, Hansen), they did retain most of the foreigners and outsiders they were already booking which helped add bodies until more assistance came. Two guys who left after everyone else were Vader (out injured) and 2 Cold Scorpio (working this tour), who had signed special deals under Misawa when he was President that could no longer be fulfilled.

  • Ironically this show takes place in Differ Ariake, where NOAH would be based out of for its first 17-18 years of existence.

MITSUBISHI MOTORSβ„’ GUIDE FROM COFFEE DADDY 024 (June / Kuro / Raven)

Good morning peeps or good evening if you're somewhere in the Western side of the Earth! It's your Coffee Daddy - Evo Driver, June/Kuro here with something that has been asked of me a few days ago.

Note that this review is solely my opinion on how the cars listed below performed under my own skills. Basically my personal experience so if you agree to it or not, I'll leave it to you. I will rank them as well according to how I see them as these are the cars I've used for like since WANGAN MIDNIGHT back in 2003.

Yes. For pretty much people out there, and if there are Filipino players out here who have either seen or have battled me, I am one of the pioneer players of the game in our country. Been playing Wangan Midnight around the time I got into college which was in 2002 and my first driving sim that I played prior to WMMT was none other than INITIAL D ARCADE STAGE 3 or IDAS3.

Ever since playing my first driving sim, I've used the Lancer Evo. I guess even if I was not aware of it, the EVO had been my dream car and my go-to car in every racing game we can think of (even in Need for Speed). So pretty much I am confident in my experience of using the EVO in almost every racing game that has them out there.

Now with that out of the way, let's start bangin'...

MITSUBISHI MOTORS INC.

Pretty much y'all know that in Wangan Midnight, we currently have 10 cars in-game including the hidden Pajero Evolution. At first, I was asked to give my input on how the EVO's performed and I did but I've decide to give it a go at giving my opinion on all Mitsubishi cars in-game as I'm a huge user (and fan) of Mitsubishi Motors. That said, let's start with...

MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION III [CE9A] (White gives you the RS version and others will give you the GSR)

- The so-called Mis-firing System car for Initial D fans, this car, in my opinion, is a sleeper. With the right skills and right amount of practice with it, this car can win you battles and then some. Thanks to it's compact body, I have no problems going thru traffic and it also allows me room to operate on turns without me worrying of hitting the outer wall. This car has great handling. Not too understeerish and not too oversteerish. Pretty much an average car for the game. Though it doesn't boast a good end gear acceleration as it's 5th gear pretty much is weak. It's got start up advantage too as I beat most cars after the 'GO!' goes off. Stock set up is relatively average but on the lighter side so don

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

{OC. Norfolk. SI} Tricolore of the Stars-A Azur lane Fanfiction:Chapter 25. Joint Operations Pt2

Notes

I am running quite late with my schedule on this one. Good thing I managed to get it out. eh? Here's another one for you.

The armor plates as fitted to Norfolk (Alsace) are enhanced with Magitech theirselves, which is a fancy way of saying that in touhou terms magical reagents are baked into the alloy's composition itself. or that they have been enhanced by some sort of enhancing ability. The result is to directly improve tensile strength which in turn implies a direct RHAe increase. The armor is rated for 1.2-1.3x against all threats. Note that Homogenous and Face Hardened armor respond differently to threats. With caps having issues with oblique homogenous (since they don't even hit face-first and denormalize. blunt-nosed penetrators without caps did mitigate this partially) while they destroy the hard faces of FHA armors. especially excessively thick-face ones. The T-34's relatively primitive HHS thin steel under attack from large-caliber penetrators can suffer shatter effects leading to the formation of a 'slab' being driven straight into the fighting compartment. which also impedes ricochet.

It should be noted there was also a composite version with NERA plates and a suitably sized destabilizer plate intended to knock off anything on the nose before damaging a incoming AP shell with sloped NERA (and its later. more energetic cousin like GaP NxRA polymer plates) plates consisting of a thick front plate. rubber and thin back plates intended to damage the projectile. sometimes to the point of ripping it in half before absorbing any incoming splinters with structural armor. However it didn't manage to join my adventure sadly enough. but perhaps that can change in the reviews.

A ceramic armor option was also considered and optimized against large-caliber threats with the intent of shatter and good multi-hit capability. but i haven't done the math so far and how strong the backing plate must be for slope.

Also keep in mind that the 50% penetration estimate is still a 50/50 rather than full protection. for full immunity the armor needs to be 7% thicker than the attacking projectile's maximum penetration.
