The Metal Maniac

Here's the thing: Items don't become rare collectibles if people buy them just to leave them in the package and wait for their value to grow. There's a reason why old toys are now worth money - because little kids played with them and broke them. Thus, to find one in a package is rare, and thus, valuable. Still-packaged KISS figures won't be rare, because there's a zillion people holding on to the things waiting for them to be worth something.

To be fair, only one guy could do it, he could only do 2, and he was a special character that you either had to cheat to get, or play to a certain point...but it was still pretty sweet. And once he got mad (which was actually his super move; getting mad) he could only throw one german...but I mean, THROW. You could clear the screen with some guys. It was great.

The Peacekeepers gets my vote, because of the best feature ever: Getting angry. If you got beat up enough, you'd become invincible and all your moves did extra damage. Man, it was so satisfying to break out of a crowd of goons by suplexing them halfway across the screen. Oh, and you could give people rolling german suplexes.

Does that mean that a year later when they replay it, they'll pipe in HBK chants too?

I liked it, because it delivered exactly what I expected. Cool visuals, and a storyline that didn't piss me off. It wasn't great or anything, but a good little summer movie.

I say Hellboy, because it looks different. The other one I've never even heard of, and it strikes me as something straight out of Abbott & Costello.

From Alfdogg, June 3rd, 2002. Oh, and it was titled "Kevin Nash Desire Video".

Isn't that oxymoronic?

So...they walk in...they talk for a while...they leave. Then someone gives them $125,000 dollars. AND THEY'RE COMPLAINING????

O...k. Considering the fact that gays are quite often insulted, harrassed, and generally treated poorly in todays society (well, maybe not quite often, but it does happen, and was probably much worse before our time) why would anyone CHOOSE to be gay? I think that's the major flaw in the argument -- if people could pick and choose their sexuality, then no one (or at least, very few) would choose to be gay, because they'd just be making their lives a lot harder.

It's not an STO. If it was, I wouldn't need to ask. It's like an STO, except the two guys really aren't that close to each other when he does the move. The guy taking is is almost bent over buddy's knee backwards before he does it. I guess it's a CZW guy that does it, if that helps any...or at least he WAS a CZW guy...I dunno if he still is. Hey, if anyone here goes to Clickwrestle.com, go watch the Indystructable video (which is bomb-fucking-ass). It's the move done at about the minute mark, off the crazy CZW style chair setup. Then you see it again at about the 2-minute mark, right after that crazy Canadian dude's Standing Corkscrew SSP. Then you see it again, about 5:15 in. I can't even tell who's doing it, because you never really see buddy's face, and I don't watch enough indies to be sure. And while I'm on it...what is the name for the move where you set the guy up for a half-nelson suplex, lift him straight up, then force him down headfirst in mid-air?

Ok, I saw this move on Clickwrestle.com somewhere. Imagine two guys standing face-to-face. One brings his left arm up and put it around the other guy's neck, almost like a Rock Bottom, but not quite. He then grabs buddy's left hand with his right, pushes him down towards the mat, but then whips him back hard and takes a back bump, dropping the other guy right on his face. Anyone know what it's called/who does it/what I'm talking about?

That's the ugliest Batmobile I've ever seen. Yes, I'm counting the Adam West Batmobile.

You're my hero.

That's gotta be horseshit. Benoit stole his wife, fer chrissakes.

Being put under rules. They gave me the IV on the inside of my elbow, and the doctor was like "You may feel as if there's cold water running down your arm". I did. I thought that was odd. Then he said "You may feel like you want to cough." I coughed once, and woke up. Now, waking up was the bad part. I dunno exactly what they gave me, but I guess there was some morphine involved, because I seem to recall hearing someone say that I had a bad reaction to it. My reaction I remember very clearly - I totally spazzed; I kinda bolted awake all at once, and curled up tight, not realizing that there was still an IV in my arm, and bending my elbow at the time was not the best of ideas. I think that was the only coherent thing I said for some time - "take it out take it out take it out!" Not that having an IV in bothered me, but when you wake up in a hospital spazzing out and your elbow hurts because there's a needle jammed into it while you're bending the thing, "take it out take it out take it out!" seems to be the only words that come to mind. Then they tried to give me oxygen, and I didn't make it easy on them. I kept taking the mask off, as odd as this sounds, because my nose was itchy beyond belief. Well, I didn't take it off, I just slid it down past my nose so I could scratch it while breathing at the same time. They didn't agree with that, as they kept putting it back on my nose every time I took it off, until someone held it there long enough for me to calm down. Then I had to go sit in a wheelchair in the waiting room and wait for the drugs to wear off more. I remember sitting there, the whole time, staring at my hands, because I couldn't focus on anything that was further away then that. Looking at the walls made my head hurt, they were so horribly out of focus. In conclusion, going under = good. If I should ever need surgery again, I'd choose going under rather then local anasthetic, if only because the time pasSes quicker, and when you wake up, it's a fun game of 'WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME???"

It's more fun to hit them at a low angle and splatter penguin guts all over creation.

Since sometime between Survivor Seriers '93 and WMX. I don't know exactly when, but I do recall watching shows that were building to SS, and I remember wondering what this Wrestlemania thing was, and why it was so important. No one thing hooked me, as near as I can tell. I had a friend who watched wrestling a lot, so I just started doing it too. I liked it, so I kept doing it. I've been watching it pretty consistently since then, except recently I've given up on RAW.

The best part is, he COULDN'T crotch himself on the rope, because Matt Hardy fell too, but he hit the ropes first and dragged them down and out of Christian's flight plan. Christian always took those floor bumps, for reasons I can't recall. Oh, and being powerbombed over the top rope, through a table, to the floor. Risky enough as is, but JESUS LORD, I thought Masato Tanaka killed Mike Awesome with that. Awesome hit the table head-first just about, the thing exploded, and he folded up like an accordian on the floor, before springing back into place. Disturbing.

For the record, there is a passage in the Bible where Jesus basically says it's OK for people to eat pretty much any animal. This is why Christians, for the most part, don't follow the rules of "kosher" food.

Oh, for fucks' sake. I'll defend my right to swear a blue streak until my dying fucking day. No you don't. Get the fuck back to work.

*wants to feel like a part of the group* Me too!

Off the top of my head... Ki-Krusher 911 Juvi Driver Cattle Mutilation J-Driller GORE~! GORE~! GORE~!

Indy announcers? Pshaw. How many of them can't tell the difference between a TABLE and a CHAIR? As far as giving away the main...JR does that all the friggin' time. Anytime he sounds positive about something, he's wrong. Tony gave away mains too, he was just smart enough to not give away the ones on his own show. Or dumb enough. I forget which.

This isn't so much annoying as it is funny, but people who claim to be really good at games, so you just waltz out and kick their ass the first time you play. That's funny. Oh, and this is more a wrestling game thing then a fighting game thing, but the belief that graphics = good game. FOOLS. I've actually had people use "You can see his hair move!" as a defense for one of the SD games. I spent the rest of the night pissing him off with comments like "Man, this play control pisses me off, but that doesn't matter, because at least I can see his HAIR MOVE! Isn't that WONDERFUL? Everyone walks like they have a stick in their ass, but thank God you can see their HAIR MOVE while they do it! How did we ever live before HAIR MOVED in video games?" I fucking hate the emphasis on graphics in games these days in general.
