  1. Just beat the second case - Justice For All is absolutely harder than the first game. I'd say the second case felt equivalent to the later cases in the first Phoenix Wright game. I'm doing everything I can to avoid starting Case 3 tonight, but goddamn is it addicting.
  2. I'd argue Sly's point, but I'm an English major, so...........
  3. I'm here, I haven't read anything since Genesis (and I don't remember any of it), and you couldn't pay me to mark. That's about all I won't do for money, though.
  4. In the next year: Will Ferrell. We've seen it begin, and I'd imagine that a significant number of his next roles should be in the same vein. Steve Carrell and Jack Black also seems to be doing a similar thing. In the next 3-5 years: No one immediate comes to mind, so I'll take a couple of shots in the dark. Jason Lee seems like someone who might try and make a serious run once My Name Is Earl comes to the end of its run - he seems like he could have the acting chops to pull off some more dramatic roles, and I'd guess that he'd want to distance himself from Earl once it ends, so dramatic roles would probably be a good way to do that. The other guess that I'd have is Mike Myers - he's due for a return into the spotlight pretty soon, and I could see him trying to evolve beyond the Austin Powers/Shrek franchises with some more mature, dramatic work. And it'd be really interesting to see if Myers could really act. Oh, and five bucks says Neil Patrick Harris tries to take a dramatic role at some point in the next couple years to try and shed the Doogie/Harold & Kumar/How I Met Your Mother stuff, and it absolutely bombs.
  5. Nothing but love. Life is all about moving towards who you wanna be - coming clean about not being there yet is tough, but it's part of life. Good luck with becoming the person you want to be.
  6. YOU DAMN RIGHT
  7. I'm at 29,302 words. Ian and Larkin have never seen psychology like this.
  8. Oh, and for the record, I plan on showing for this match.
  9. Go do something stupid, you stupidhead.
  10. Motherfucking Ian.
  11. Yay for Divefire.
  12. Killings isn't on great terms wiht the company either, but Joe/Killings could be a lot of fun. You could also do Joe vs. Abyss - I can't imagine this Abyss/Runt stuff is going to be going on much longer.
  13. Joe could do it - he did just fine with Steiner, and if he can work well with Steiner, he can certainly work well with Angle. And while I would absolutely love to see Kurt Angle in TNA, I don't want to see this version of Kurt Angle. If he took a few months to get his act somewhat together, TNA would be a great fit for him. He'd wrestle twice a month or so, be able to go harder when he did wrestle, and he'd stay much, much healthier. I doubt very much that we'd ever see Kurt Angle in TNA, but if he did - I'd be watching very intently, that's for sure.
  14. I liked Jericho for the most part when he was in WCW, but he was never anything special in the WWE. He had perhaps the worst moveset in the WWE, with his neutered Walls of Jericho, the Lionsault he could never hit, the lousy Stroke ripoff (the Breakdown or whatever he called it), his wimpy bulldog, and a couple others spots he always busted out. The only move I liked was his springboard dropkick. He probably could have done a lot more, but I could never get into Chris Jericho in the WWE. However, he did cut good to great promos, and he was entertaining as a face and a heel. Still, I don't think he's a big loss to the WWE.
  15. I am the 24th of 47 World Title holders - I mark the absolute center of this promotion's world title history (or, as I prefer to think of it, its apex). Therefore, everything revolves around my title win. I was the great peak of this place's history. Now Toxxic, never ever lose that belt. EVER. Do you understand?
  16. Strangler went back to school and got his Ph.D in astrophysics from the University of Colorado six months ago.
  17. HGC and World - the only belts worth having. Why pay your dues when you can just bitch at Flesher for months before he relents, does a main-event angle with you, and lets you leapfrog the rest of the field? Booyah.
  18. While I agree iwht most of the criticism two posts ago, everything I've seen about Vince leads towards the fact that he woule think Vince/Cena is a huge moneymaker. Why else would he book HBK/HHH vs. McMahons for the vast majority of 2006?

  20. I'll be buying a Wii at launch. Having Zelda, Metroid, Mario, and Smash Bros. coming out in the first six months or so of the system's lifetime is pretty impressive, and I'm drooling over the chance to play Twilight Princess. It looks just as good as Resident Evil 4, in my book, so I'm extremely excited to get my hands on it. And even without the Big 4 from Nintendo (I'll skip Metroid, but buy the other 3), there are still a bunch of title I'm interested in: - Madden: I can't believe I'm interested in Madden again, but the new controls seem perfect for it. One of my continual complaints about football video games is the difficulty of mastering open-field running techniques. Trying to get the eight buttons memorized and used correctly is damn near impossible for me. But using hand motions to juke and stiff-arm - it's brilliant. That alone has me interested. On top of that, the chance to really pull off the point and click passing that NFL Fever tried but couldn't pull off due to the limitations of the controller is another great addition. I'm certainly interested in Madden. - Excite Truck: This looks like the Wii's answer to Burnout. High-speed racing around tracks, some crazy jumps, good crashes, total arcade racing fun. Nintendo's been horrible for non-kart racing over the Gamecube's lifetime, and this should fill a big void. And steering with the controller could be a lot of fun - I can't wait to try it. - Wii Sports: It looks like an N64 game, but the first thing I'll be doing when I get the system is popping Wii Sports in and challenging someone to a game of Tennis. This looks like the perfect introduction to the Wii, and it'll give people a great idea of what to expect from the controller. - Elebits: This is a quirky, quirky title, but I'm totally interested. Shooting little gremlins running around your kitchen with the Wii remote looks like fun. You get to use it like the gravity gun in Half-Life 2 as well, picking things up and throwing them around. Assuming they can make this a sufficiently deep game, I'll be sold for sure. - Project H.A.M.M.E.R.: Any game which revolves around smashing the living shit out of things with a giant hammer cannot help but be fun, especially when you can actually swing the hammer itself. Then there are all the FPS games coming out for launch (in addition to the FPS-ish Metroid, there's Call of Duty 2, Far Cry, and Red Steel), that Disaster: Day of Crisis game, and a ton more. Wii's definitely set up to have the best launch of the three new systems, and when you add the low price, it just makes the most sense to buy the Wii first. I plan on getting a 360 when Halo 3 and/or Ninja Gaiden 2 are upon us, but until then, not a chance.
  21. Um.....Bruce Blank, I take umbrage with your assertion that United States fiscal policy has been poorly managed since the removal of the gold standard by the Nixon administration!
  22. From someone who decided to flush his $7.50 down the toilet for this one - (Tons of spoilers) At the very least, the movie tries to keep you guessing, which makes it tolerable the first time through. With the different roles in their weird little party, you at least think about who's who. Sure, I guessed most of them right immediately, but it's still something. I'd imagine it would be much, much wose the second time around. Other problems with the movie: - M Night Shymalan casting himself to play his ill-conceived vision of himself as a writer who's gonna change the world. Egotistical prick can't act, and can't write or direct anymore either. - The movie critic character, which was nothing more than M. Night giving all the people who (deservedly) hated the Villiage a big 'fuck you'. - At one point, a vine-encrusted wolf gets beaten to death by three vine-encrusted apes while a giant eagle swoops in to carry a sea nymph off to her underwater home to become queen. That basically speaks for itself. This was an idea that might have worked for another director, but it just didn't work for Shymalan. I still have no idea why they had the scene where Giamatti almost got trapped in the little room underneath the pool - it was a horrible way to try and produce tension which was clearly not going anywhere. Movie gets a C- from me.
  23. Hamsauce is the only true monster in the history of this federation. A 500-pound Southern redneck back from the IGNJL days. Don't think he ever won, either. Good times.
  24. There. I amz the updated.
  25. I saw it. Pretty good movie, but a tough narrative to follow at times. Once it clicks it at the end, it all feels a lot better. I think it'd benefit highly from a second viewing where you feel more comfortable with the narrative and overall plot. Very funny at times (Robert Downey Jr. owns it), and the animation style works incredibly well. Very solid movie.
