Special K

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.

I bought this game over a year ago, and it needs to be fixed. I need to do that, seeing as I haven't played a good new RPG in forever.

This thread is great. That Napoleon Mccallum injury is disgusting, though.

Read the whole series. Ultra-gory, ultra-blasphemous, pretty damn funny. It takes a dip in quality after the 3rd volume, as a lot of the sense of fun is lost. That certainly doesn't mean it gets bad. The first three volumes are just a BLAST though, particularly 1 and 3. I like 'Hitman' more, but that's personal preference. I like everything Ennis has done that I've read, actually: Preacher, Punisher, Hitman, Hellblazer. The one thing about Hitman and Preacher: Tommy (of Hitman) is exactly like Jesse Custer and Cassidy (of Preacher) mashed together.

Gyro pizzas are where it's at. Either a marinara or olive oil/garlic base Mozarella + feta Gyro meat, spinach, fresh tomatoes, light onions. with a drizzle of tatziki after baking.

Propel Lemon, Regular Blue and Rain Lime. Lemon Ice was the best, but it's no longer available.

The chinlock was the best move in the game, actually. it tapped anyone immediately if put on after a decent-length match. One of the big flaws of the game, other than you can't be pinned if you wiggle the analog stick, not even by special pin moves. We had a long-standing house rule of no chinlocks. My best moment from that game: I'm Scott Norton, don't know which character I was facing, it was computer-controlled. I hit a running clothesline straight out of the gate, pick him up, powerbomb, knockout. Norton rules.

I'd agree Maison Ikkoku is Takahashi's best work. It's perfectly paced, the characters grow wonderfully, and it's really a touching story. I felt really cheated when Ranma 1/2 had no proper ending. I will say Ryoga is probably my second favorite comedic character next to Osaka, though. The best commentary on this phenomenon of way prolonging things without ever evolving is Mamoru Oshii's (director of GitS movies, Patlabor 1& 2) Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer.

Not only are the jokes just awful, but apparently he can't proofread. No. He wrote 5 paragraphs that amounted to: Gaylord Perry threw spitballs (No WAY!). I never stretched that hard for an essay in college. Worse, all these things are common knowledge, he offers absolutely no insight. So this article is not funny, informative, or at least opinionated. It's just shit.

Actually they can, as the only liquids of any sort allowed on the plane are baby bottles, which must be tasted by the mother.

Mega Man 3: After years of mastering nailing him over and over with the snake search, learning that one fucking top spin (most useless move ever) killed him. And I've brought this up many a time, but it always bears mentioning: X-Men, Genesis. Fun, difficult game. You have to be fairly good to get to the boss of the second to last stage, who is Mojo. So you beat his ass, and Prof X says destroy the computer! There's a computer in the room. One hit destroys it. Professor X: Reset the computer! So you wander around this big empty fucking room, there's nothing to hit. There's nowhere to teleport to. And there's a timer running down, like a minute long. If it ends, game fucking over, after a couple of hours playing. What do you have to do? Physically go to your Genesis and PRESS THE RESET BUTTON. ASSHOLES. What the hell were they thinking? "I want to make kids cry." That must have been it. GOD. Oh, and not being able to make it past the second enemy in Bayou Billy. Thank God that was a rental.

In terms of Shoujo stuff, Maison Ikkoku and Han Yori Dango are the best. (well, in terms of manga)

Yeah, and I can see how cold fusion would be fucking stellar, but it's not going to happen. The isn't going to be like the fucking sneetches you dumb son of a bitch. The second we leave the Sunnis and Shiites are going to start killing each other. We know that. So we, the most powerful country in the world, our stuck with our thumbs up our asses, with most of our military in a quagmire. Meanwhile, it's costing hundreds of billions of dollars, it costs me 45 fucking dollars to fill up my 4-door car, and we are unable to deal with REAL ACTUAL agressors like Hezbolah. You dumb shit.

As I said: Orbital, In Sides. IMO, best techno album ever, and it's so fucking complex that it's great...... On WEED! Seriously, Kotz, if you've never heard this album, hear it.

"I don't need Randy Moss! Rollin' Rollin'..." /Throws 3 INTs /Throws 5 INTs /Sex boat /Gets his knee busted. Oh, I forgot, he did throw three TDs against the Saints. He's the shit. And I love C-Mart. He's a fuckin' stud. He's 4th all-time rusher, and top ten rushing TDs. He just might squeak in.

Hey, as Stewart said: The people who wrote Asz and titties have an Oscar, and Scorcese doesn't. It's not like I hate the Rocky flicks. I- Good, but certainly not better than Taxi Driver. *shakes fist* II- Really fun. Carl Weathers is so the man. Knows how to get his stew on. III- Good. Mr. T, Weathers and Hogan make the movie, really. IV- OK. Basically the exact same movie as #3. Rocky now is hardly a character, more and more, his opponents steal the movie. V- sucks And WP, you have gone from normal to sort of charmingly eccentric, to creepy, to CronoT. Don't be that guy. Reign it in.

But a machine-gun didn't come out of his BUTT :-(

I've heard a lot of bad things about season 5, but s4 was plenty enjoyable. Not as good as 3, certainly, but better than 95% of the other shit on TV.

He should never not have the 'Rorshach' suit on. He looks like a retard in a cap and T-shirt. Plus, when did he get enormously ripped?

Ribbing about that thread will never get old. I'm not being sarcastic. You could make one of those refridgerator magnet sets of that initial post and always come up with something great.

Everyone knows how life works. First, your dad fucks a weight bench, or does some real hard squats. Then Astro Boy flies through his window to deliver you into the world. Then you beat up a side of beef, and win the best picture Oscar over fucking Taxi Driver. >:-( CRIPPLE FIGHT!

Not exactly a valid comparison. Brock WAS the NCAA champ, so he has something to build off of. He's still pretty damn young. As was said, he could be something, yet it's not surprising that he tapped to Hughes. Hey Royce Gracie just tapped Dan Severn!!!!

278 "The More you Know" Thanksgiving. (or maybe Christmas) Max: You know, while you're sitting with your family in your warm house, enjoying a hot meal, remember that there's people out there on the streets in the cold. They're called hookers. Go get 'em!

Tomb Raider was very memorable for the expansiveness of the environment, it was the first game I played that really felt free. That and Jumping Flash. Then Mario 64 came out and completely blew that away. I remember when Resident Evil and Final Fantasy VII came out, I thought games would never look better. My friend popped in FFVII on his big screen after we watched Advent Children, and yikes. Those fights have not aged gracefully. Still like the game, though. Zelda, Metal Storm, Mega Man 2 and Final Fantasy were the games that really wowed me on the Nes. Zelda 2 was memorable in a really bad way. That game was horrible, and no one will convince me otherwise. During the 16 bit area, Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasies IV and VI, Zelda 3, and Super Mario World were extremely impressive. Same with Actraiser. I think the 16-Bit era was really the best. There are a ton of classic games that you can pick up and play, and the graphics have aged so much better than early 3D graphics. Imo, the Snes had the best game lineup ever. It's even more stunning when you play some of the import games available through emulation. It has the two best RPGs ever in FFVI and Chrono Trigger. It has some killer platformers (all from Nintendo) that are more replayable than any 3D platformer I've played. It had great adventure games in Zelda, Metroid, and the Soul Blazer series. It had pretty much every great arcade 2D shooter. Street Fighter 2 is a classic. The only real problem with the system were the games were so goddamn expensive. I remember Yoshi's Island and Chrono Trigger were like $70. That's sick. The 64 could have been even better, if they hadn't stupidly stuck to cartridges.

I was really disappointed. Huge fan of everything Judd Apatow does, love Ali G (no Borat trailer for me, damn) and generally a big fan of Will Ferrell. I really didn't think the movie was very funny. The knife in the leg and the 'I'm on fire!' scenes were the only ones that really cracked me up. Sacha Baron Cohen didn't have much to work with, just a silly accent. The product placement gag wasn't funny at all, and the stuff with the dad REALLY dragged. Much like Bruce Almighty, the outtakes made me laugh more than the entire movie. Stranger than Fiction looks great, though.
