You went to the Black Mages Concent?! SPILL YOU LUCKY BASTARD!!! Tell me every freaking detail! I'm so jealous.

Way to go James. I say that the Jokers season rest in his hands. Watch him go down to injury now that I've said that. And my God. What's the record for RBIs? I mean he is just killing in that department, it's freaking scary. Then again, James being a power hitter is scary. Especially considering how much of an improvement he's going through.

Let's give it up for Nick Dinsmore, as the bastard has done the impossible. He's made a gimmick that should've sunk, work. And I've gotta admit I liked his ringwork. Great stuff.

He was definitely going for it, as he started to move back for it, just before Edge slammed him down. Made it look very nice. Very nice spot indeed.

I'm not pissed with Orton at all. I wasn't expecting a godly match as Edge was after all gone for 14 months, so working with someone new wouldn't be Edge's cup of tea. I was expecting this to be a lot better, but I understand how these two might've done worse (which could've been possible, it wasn't horrible, but definitely not worth the amount of press they gave this). Then again, I'm highly disappointed with Edge. He should've done better.

And I couldn't believe that I'd be thinking that Edge being the vetern we wouldn't be seeing him fuck up not ONCE, but TWICE. Ugh... This sucks. Tonight sucks.

Well it pisses me off. All of my starts have ERAs of 2. I mean, I'm now 8-5 since restarting, and I'm playing like shit since getting back into this. My starting pitchers have been awesome for me, but the relief and my hitting has been absolutely horrid. I'm half tempted to trade a player (I'm thinking Everett as the bastard isn't doing me a thing) for some rookies or something. It is absolutely brutal lately with how badly I'm playing. Edit: Speak of the devil. Everett says that his current contract has him questioning his motivations. He's so fucking traded. Along with Batista and Chavez. I'm calling up James. Fuck this shit. Well, trade done. I got a little more cash out of the deal, also signed James up for a second season for exactly the same contract, so bonus there. Happy times.

I've been waiting with hopes that you would do it, honestly.

I want to cry. I really do. I had my best pitcher, Chris Morris, up pitching. He goes up and holds my opponents to 2 fucking runs the whole game. I managed to get a run in like the bottom of the sixth. You think I can capitalize on that inning? Or perhaps the fact that Chris Morris went a full nine innings and gave up three full hits in the top of the ninth, only to get every single batter after the bases were loaded to hit directly to Cabrera so that Cabrera could throw it to home to get the forced out? Dammit. I want to cry. This guy is my best pitcher on my staff (geez, I wonder why) and yet my team performs sub-par in every single one of his games. It makes me sick at this fact. Absolutely sick. I'm so pissed at losing that last game. I should've won it. Yet I lost. Edit: Just to add to how fuck up this is. Chris Morris IP - 66.2 (2nd, best is Halladay of TOR who's got 70.2) ERA - 2.03 (11t, best is M. Clement of CHC who's got a 1.19) AVG - .214 (13th, best is Lohse of MIN who's got .197) SO - 54 (6th, best is B. Zito of OAK with 59) BB - 0 (Tied for 1st with pretty much the rest of my starting staff, I don't walk) CG - 6 (1st) I mean, the guy is my fucking best pitcher, putting up stats that would drive anyone insane, and yet I can't win the for the guy. It's pretty damn sad.

I'm not going to be surprised if this was true. I mean after all, looking at the lineup for Judgement Day, I can honestly say they really don't care and sure are making it look like a "B" show.

The only way 3D games would work on a handheld is if, you dumb them down. Or make it something pick up and go, which usually means action/adventure/strategy RPG like (with save points every five minutes). Seriously, I don't see how this will work myself.

Edmonton Oilers = Wayne Gretzky. I could add Eskies, but I'm not sure who would be the best. I'll let someone else field that one.

Well, I've gone 8-4 since restarting my Dynasty mode up, so I haven't lost a step in playing the game. However, the weirdest thing happened. The Toronto Blue Jays traded away Carlos Delgado for Andruw Jones. I'm just shocked that the Atlanta Braves would give up Jones for Delgado, especially considering Delgado's been performing sub-par in my Dynasty.

I just had the luck of bad fish. Honestly, I'd get the bad ones and that was it.

I'm doing this early as I had gotten no votes for almost four days. Henceforth, there was no point in delaying this till when Smackdown started. I'm sorry to announce that both Citan Uzuki and Jowy Blight have been eliminated from the tourney. I apologize to all of you who felt like these where the best characters, but they fell short in the votes. I'd also like to announce a least something that will please those worried, Cloud finally was knocked out as well. Cheer mighty RPG fans, he survived, but you finally knocked his ass out. Took Tir to do it, but hey, take what you can. Anyways, here's your final four for each grouping. Five of Eight characters left in the tourney are from Square-Enix. Now no one bitch about that, because that's what you people voted. Hero Tourney: Celes of Final Fantasy 6 vs. Kain of Final Fantasy 4 Terra of Final Fantasy 6 vs. Tir of Suikoden Villian Tourney: Death of Castlevania vs. Luca Blight of Suikoden 2 Queen Zeal of Chrono Trigger vs. Magus of Chrono Trigger Voting will end on Thursday next week.

Welcome back Dames. You probably not remember me, but happy to have you back! Now get back to the Diatribes. I miss'em. I jest. Just glad you be back.

Twenty bucks says he survives the season, but just when they need him the most in the post-season, BAM! Out goes the knee. Honestly, I'm beginning to believe in the curse of being on EASports covers. Hopefully, Lewis doesn't go down.

Nope, he just gives her the raft, and she leaves... Domo. I couldn't really recall this, as I only saved Cid ONCE in my entire trials with FF6.

Remember guys... Cut off date is May 20th. Just thought I'd toss that out there along with: Action - Contra (NES) Adventure - Sonic And Knuckles (Sega) Driving - WWE Crash Hour (PS2) Fighter - Bloody Roar 3 (PS2) Puzzle - DDRMAX2 (PS2) RPG - Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter Sports - Fire Pro Wrestling (GBA) Strategy - Age of Mythology (PC)

Considering we've had so many people complain about the Gamefaqs tourney, this thread will lead towards the day we get a BEST. GAME. EVAR~! instead of all the Final Fantasy Fans putting all the Final Fantasy games at the top of the heap. This is the Nominations Thread. We will follow the Vote Differential of the RPG Tournys, but for the first round (and if there is a tie from me looking to the previous round) then I'll ask someone who hasn't voted to break any ties. This will be a freaking massive tourney, only 64 games from each category will be nominated. The Categories: Action (This includes fighter games) Adventure (Mario type games) Driving Puzzle Role-Playing (For pity's sake, Zelda games do NOT count here) Simulation (Duh...) Sports (This includes wrestling games) Strategy You can only make one nomination for each category. Think long and hard before you do so, and also you must include the system you intend for. Thus, if multi-platform, choose the best one. My Nomiations: Action - Guilty Gear XX (PS2) Adventure - Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker (GC) Driving - Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (PS2) Puzzle - Tetris (NES) Role-Playing - Terranigma (SNES) Simulation - Total Extreme Warfare (PC) * Sports - NHL 95 (SNES) Strategy - Age of Empires (PC) *Did you know that Gamefaqs has this listed as ACTION? That's just fucked up right there. It is simulation of being a wrestling owner, hence why it goes in Simulation. Remember, these are nominations. This just means someone went out of their way to remember games that might not get some consideration that should. Nominations End On May 19th, 2004 or when each category has 64 games nominated for it. Tourney For BEST. GAME. EVAR~! will begin on May 20th, 2004. Hm... Maybe I can bribe someone on TSM like Dr. Tom to let me do a column on this? Nah... No one would let silly me get a column. Oh well, just settle for this.

Happy B-Day.

Andrew haven't you realized by now that to make a game of a series (be it whatever), you must make the game be a connection to the series, but not actual appart of the series. Like it'll be about some minor character with all the Bebop characters doing cameos and the Bebop Universe. That's about all. I'm beginning to wonder what the hell Sega and Nintendo's huge blockbuster surprise is. I'm also expecting a few games that aren't listed on here to show up, like Phantom Brave for example.

I don't think it'll be as good as everyone raves about, honestly. It'll be good, but not much better than any other RPG out there. I'm almost getting a Neverwinter Nights feeling out of this game. Which means it'll fall short.

I'm reporting in with: My Top 10 )Kingdom Hearts II )Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time )Fire Emblem )Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker 2 )Tales of Symphonia )Fable )Suikoden IV )Nintendo's Suprise )Def Jam Vendetta 2 )Mega Man X: Command Mission I was going to add numbers, but decided against it. As to why that's my top ten, those are the ones I mostly know about, hence why they get this treatment.
