Oh, yeah, Chris Kyle's career is butterflied away, with no Iraq war (and Jesse Ventura's lawsuit against him is butterflied away as a result)...

I imagine the Dixie Chicks are much better off than OTL, especially with no Iraq war and no "ashamed that the president is from Texas" comments, which ruined their careers. They probably still transition to pop ITTL; Taylor Swift did so IOTL...

BTW, what are Chris Kyle, Jesse Ventura, Alex Jones, and the Dixie Chicks up to ITTL?

So no American Sniper. You know, Bradley Cooper was very good in what was other wise a very iffy movie. Hes a very good actor. (He played John Merick (!!!) to rave reviews in Broadway) I hope his career isnt butterflyed away. Then again, I hope The Hangover movies are, so I cant have my cake and eat it too

Chris Kyle is a Navy SEAL currently serving in missions to hunt down the remaining leaders of al-Queda. Jesse Ventura has a radio show where he discusses conspiracy theories and Libertarian talking points. Alex Jones is heavily pushing an insane conspiracy theory that Al Gore and Bill Clinton worked together to orchestrate 9/11. The Dixie Chicks remain some of the biggest stars in country music.

I was hoping tolearn what had happened with the Wolfenstein series ITTL. It turned into a number of sporadic releases during the 2000' of questionable quality, before getting its reboot in 2014. Any chance of it doing better ITTL?

Wolfenstein recently got a fairly popular game on the Xbox and may end up getting a new game once the seventh gen consoles are released.

Their fate was really fucking shite IOTL, actually considering nearly everyone (including the country scene and pro-Iraq War people) took the comments of them not liking Bush and comments about being ashamed for being from the same state entirely out of context (as criticism of the President) as an attack on America itself.

Which is pretty much bullshite, considering how what lead to the huge backlash was the fact that people couldnt tell the difference between criticism of the president and their country......

And also the pro-American patriotism went out of control and turned into a dumpster fire.

Interesting note: CNN is premiering their show The Nineties tonight at 9/8 Central Time, for anyone who's interested...

I imagine that in TTL's version of the Nineties, the TV episode would have about a 1-2 minute segment on GameTV, and that Ted Crosley, Lyssa Fielding, Kurt Cobain, Selena, and Polly Klaas (because of her academic position at Stanford studying the media's effect on the population) would commentate at times during the entire documentary (not just the GameTV segment but in a number of episodes). The episode coming up where Oklahoma City and Columbine are covered may end up significantly different (possibly would be changed to a different subject entirely). I could also see a longer video game segment during the technology episode, focusing on games like Mortal Kombat and Snatcher.

What is TTL's Smash roster looking like? OTL the second Smash game, aside from being perfection in gameplay, roster wise its biggest impact was introducing Fire Emblem to the West. It looks like third party fighters are big in the game already.

Super Smash Bros. 2 came out in late 2002 and had 28 fighters:

Ash Beckland
Bowser
Captain Falcon
Cless Alvein
Cloud
Donkey Kong
Dr. Mario
Feraligatr
Fox
Ganondorf
Ice Climbers
Kirby
Link
Luigi
Mario
Marth
Ness
Peach
Pikachu
Rebecca
Samus
Shad
Shirei
Simon Belmont
Solid Snake
Woofle
Yoshi
Zelda

Clash revealed six new fighters at E3, and the game will have around 40 fighters in all. I can already tell you that at least one fighter from SSB2 won't be returning for Clash, so we'll have at least 13 new fighters in the game.
