Lightning Flik

I don't know Janus. I just know you and I are on the same page with what show we both thought this was.

It's really, really sad that he stops trying just as he gets huge. And hopefully he isn't wearing the belt like a drunk man this time. You must remember too Angle, that WWE has put Cena on freakin' hold with his raps, since he's said a few things at some points that probably weren't reviewed or scripted over by the WWE Brassteam, so he probably has gotten flack for it.

Well, making Spring Training ridiculously and unnecessarily long certainly contributes. True. I don't get why there's a pre-season. If teams don't have everything together by the time training camp ends, they aren't ready period. Ugh... I don't like the Yanks, but even I'm kinda feeling pity for their fate lately.

Just A Reminder: Any Changes In This Tourney, Do So Now. I Will Be Posting First Round As Soon As 12am MST Hits.

WTF is with this team? Seriously, every time you turn around, the injury bug plagues them. Even I'm admiting this has gone from humourous to bizarre. I mean, how can so many injuries bite one team all at once?

I still contend that there is SOMEONE who will pick up Brock Lesnar. He might be raw, but I'm quite sure that he'll be able to find some team desperate or in need of a defensive linemen/running back that will sign him up on a minimal deal.

Statement #1: Women's wrestling should be more wrestling and less T & A. True. Women's wrestling can be sexy and show off the T & A, but be like, you know... Subtle. Statement #2: There should be more women's Hair vs. Hair matches. False. Hair vs. Hair matches are only good on basis of a long drawn out feud, where one character is simply in love with his/her own good looks. ...which means this should be a rare occuring match. Statement #3: Edge will be World Heavyweight Champion in 2004. True. He's buddy-buddy with Triple H, so expect Edge to get a title reign around the next PPV in Canada and near Toronto (SummerSlam). Just expect his hometown to change just becuase they don't want to give it away that he's winning. Statement #4: Brock Lesnar is making a mistake. False. I'm happy for Lesnar leaving because it is pretty much exactly what I did with my last job. I was doing everything for my company, they did some stuff they shouldn't really do for a newbie, but they mismanaged somethings with how to deal with me, then botched the "recovery", and so I left. So I understand where Lesnar is coming from and frankly, I agree with him leaving. Although, at the same time, I agree with most that he was given too much all at once. Statement #5: Trish was right when she said chicks like it rough. True, depending on the chick.

Just to comment on the Jays, I remember hearing on the Score that sometime in 2004 (I think it is April 1st), they will no longer be the Blue Jays, just like their jersey says, they'll be the Toronto Jays. It was reported last year when the new colors and stuff hit. Hence why I hate how they changed their name. Oh well. As for the Expos, it really is quite sad how a freaking decent team lost all respectablity because of what happened because of one owner. This is why the Expos wish to get leave, not because of the actual team and what it can do but what one owner managed to do by making the fan base totally disbelieve in the organization itself. That and I still contend the MLB could save the damn organization if they actually ... you know, tried to help them out.

Ouch that has got to suck. I hate not being invited to games or that, if it is family or friends. Just because it is usually my fucking sport (NHL) or my fucking team I cheer for that they leave me hanging. Then have the most pitiful excuse every for it.

Actually, I don't really want to give much away, but Terra will not be winning. At least not winning easily, I should say.

Change of plans, you've got till Midnight tonight to decide on whom you wish to have in the tourney in place of another. Just because I've got the tourney all set up and it is looking too good to wait it out. Just for some interesting info: ~ Only 3 First Round Matches have the same series facing off against each other. All 3 are from Final Fantasy and Spinoffs. ~ 1 First Round Match has two characters facing off against each other from the same game. ~ 1 First Round Match has one of the most popular "sidekick" main characters of a game against the main character of a game. ~ 7 First Round Matches have Heroine vs. Heroine. ~ 22 First Round Matches have Hero vs. Heroine. ~ 35 First Round Matches have Hero vs. Hero. ~ There are 92 Heroes to 36 Heroines. ~ There were 16 Possibilities For Same Series Matchups that were missed by a single pick. ~ Biggest First Round Winner -> Citan Uzuki - Xenogears ~ Total Possible Squash In First Round -> 18 ~ Total Possible Close Calls -> 36 ~ Easy To Call Matches -> 28 ~ How Many Heroines Will Make Second Round For Sure -> 7 ~ How Many Heroines Might Make Second Round -> 29 ~ How Many True Game Heroes Will Win First Round -> 39 (True Game Heroes Are The Heroes You Start With) ~ How Many True Game Heroines Might Win First Round -> 8 (True Game Heroines Are The Heroines You Start With) ~ Odds On Favorite To Go The Farthest With Ease -> Cloud

Just vote for whom you'd think you'd prefer... Yes, I don't really care at the start. And trust me, since I've begun setting up the brackets via drawing names out of a hat (and that is setting up some interesting first round match ups), you will probably only be voting your favorites anyways. And Red XIII you say Kahran? Ok. Nice choice btw (you'll understand, since I've already drawn up who Red XIII was going to face). As I said, so far, I've got a lot of interesting match ups happening while I continue to draw. And whoever wanted Alucard to win, you better pray that his opponent isn't as liked as I think that person is. There's not a lot of squashes that this First Round will have. If anything, a lot of the First Round will be hard fought.

Citan Uzuki? Who would you like him to replace? Note: All character changes, must not be the main character of a video game. Hence, you can't take out Terra from Final Fantasy 6. It must be the extras whom you wish to take out.

It's kinda amazing what happens when you don't pay attention. I've got a few games where the right "gimmick" just clicks and takes off. It usually is the gimmick that helps the star. You'll find a good one and they'll have a huge increase in ratings because of it.

If Link can get his ass in (becuase I KNOW people will bitch about Link if he isn't in), then Castlevania gets a nod to be in this competition.

ICTV TITLE MATCH Toxxic vs Dace Night Special Guest Commentator: Aecas ~ Dace Night. Toxxic might be damn good, but I know Night will be bringing the pain. "The Notorious" John Duran vs "Coyote" Coy West vs Ann "Ichiban" Onita ~ This will be a hell of a battle, but I think Duran will win this with true style and poise. TAG TEAM TITLE CONTENDERSHIP Janus and Aecas vs Mike Van Siclen and Insane Luchadore ~ I'll drop for Aecas and Janus. Whilst I like both MVS (from my OAOAST times) and IL from my JL days, I know that Janus and Aecas will be bringing the pain. CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Alan Clark vs "The Superior One" Tom Flesher ~ While I mark for Clark, I know that Flesher will bring all he can and probably walk away with the title. Edward James vs Johnny Dangerous ~ Dangerous. I might have something, but it isn't going to be good enough to beat Dangerous.

Yes, some games may be missing a nomination. If you have a suggestion for them, please do so now. Any nomination for another game that I may have miss will take over a "secondary pic" for another game. You'll have till Friday at Midnight to add any hero I might've missed. Any hero whom you can have their name created with no backup, is disqualified from entry. The except to this, was Suikoden 1 and 2, because I frankly can't bank on the third game (which has three "heroes", plus The Flame Hero), so I decide to add them. The names that are listed for them, I believe are their Manga names. Some characters were listed for their Series rather than a selected game. This was mainly because of Breath of Fire, since I could've in fact had literially 5 Ryus and 5 Ninas alone. So I just clumped them altogher. If you believe that should be so, once again, you have till Friday Midnight to change my mind. Also Please Note: This list of 128 Characters is NOT how everyone will end up. It is just me adding to the list to make up a list of 128. I also believe I've got 128, I might be wrong on that, so please feel free to correct me. The First Round will commence this Saturday. You'll have one week to pick from the face offs of whom you wish to be your RPG Champion. List of 128 Hero(ine): Alundra - Alundra Flint - Alundra 2 Arc - Arc The Lad Elc - Arc The Lad 2 Alec - Arc The Lad 3 Kharg - Arc The Lad: Twilight of Spirits Django - Boktai Ryu - Breath of Fire (Series) Soma Cruz - Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow Nathan Graves - Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Jeust Belmont - Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance Alucard - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Chocobo - Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon Crono - Chrono Trigger Serge - Chrono Cross Toan - Dark Cloud Yuris - Dark Cloud 2 Eiyu - Dragon Warrior 5 Yuterald - Evergrace Mag - Evolution Worlds Frionel - Final Fantasy 2 Cecil - Final Fantasy 4 Butz - Final Fantasy 5 Terra - Final Fantasy 6 Cloud - Final Fantasy 7 Squall - Final Fantasy 8 Zidane - Final Fantasy 9 Tidus - Final Fantasy 10 Yuna - Final Fantasy 10-2 Benjamin - Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest Ramza - Final Fantasy Tactics Marche - Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Eliwood - Fire Emblem Issac - Golden Sun Felix - Golden Sun: The Lost Age Justin - Grandia Ryudo - Grandia 2 Kite - .hack (Series) Kahu - Jade Cacoon 2 Koudelka Iassant - Koudelka Yuri - Shadow Hearts Vahn - Legend of Legaia Lang - Legaia: Dual Saga Link - Legend of Zelda (Series) Tara - Lost Kingdoms 2 Maxim - Lufia 2: Rise of The Sinistrals Wain - Lufia: The Legend Returns Mario - Super Mario RPG Mega Man - Mega Man Battle Network Denim Powell - Tactics Ogre Magnus Gallant - Ogre Battle 64 Alphonse - Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis Aya Brea - Parasite Eve (Series) Alis - Phantasy Star Rolf - Phantasy Star 2 Chaz - Phantasy Star 4 Ryo Hazaki - Shenmue (Series) Max - Shining Force Bowie - Shining Force 2 Will - Illusion of Gaia Claude - Star Ocean: The Second Story Tir - Suikoden Riou - Suikoden 2 Joseph - Summoner Maia - Summoner 2 Stahn Aileron - Tales of Destiny Reed Herschel - Tales of Eternia (known in the US as Tales of Destiny 2) Rudy - Wild Arms Ashley Winchester - Wild Arms 2nd Ignition Virginia Maxwell - Wild Arms 3 Fei Fong Wong - Xenogears Shion Uzuki - Xenosaga (Series) Vyse - Skies of Arcadia Ark J - CIMA: The Enemy Nigel - Land Stalkers Lharl - Disgaea: Hour Of Darkness Mouse - Reiselied: Ephemeral Fantasia Sora - Kingdom Hearts Ari - Okage: Shadow King Orphen - Orphen: Scion of Sorcery Musashi - Brave Fencer Musashi Cless - Tales of Phantasia Eon - Granstream Saga Faz - Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Dart - Legend of Dragoon Cornet - Rhapsody Valkyrie - Valkyrie Profile Bastion - Vanguard Bandits Byuu - Bahamut Dragoon Nes - Earthbound Sanzo - Saiyuki: Journey West Fina - Skies of Arcadia Akia - Skies of Arcadia Arche - Tales of Phantasia Nina - Breath of Fire (Series) KOS-MOS - Xenosaga (Series) Locke - Final Fantasy 6 Celes - Final Fantasy 6 Selan - Lufia 2: Rise of The Sinistrals BlackRose - .hack Alex - Lunar: The Silver Star Story Luna - Lunar: The Silver Star Story Hiro - Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Lucia - Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Alys - Phantasy Star 4 Hector - Fire Emblem Lyndis - Fire Emblem Nanaki (Red XIII) - Final Fantasy 7 Tifa - Final Fantasy 7 Aeris - Final Fantasy 7 Mark - Persona Kain - Final Fantasy 4 Rina - Star Ocean: The Second Story Rinoa - Final Fantasy 8 Garnet (Dagger) - Final Fantasy 9 Vivi - Final Fantasy 9 Shidou Hikaru - Magic Knight Rayearth Riyuugeki Umi - Magic Knight Rayearth Hououji Fuu - Magic Knight Rayearth Mint - Tales of Phantasia Feena - Grandia Millenia - Grandia 2 Elena - Grandia 2 Mia - Golden Sun Jenna - Golden Sun: The Lost Age Celine - Star Ocean: The Second Story Ashton - Star Ocean: The Second Story Ratix - Star Ocean

Thanks for the reminder of Lunar, somehow, I missed it completely and almost had NO ONE from it. Thankfully, it has now taken up 4 more places on my road to 128 Heros (I feel like I'm playing Suikoden, except trying to get 20 more "Stars") Almost there. I'll be posting up the voting thread soon. I'll give you the list in here though, of who's in, so you can judge and see.

Just making sure I get all the characters you start out with first, before adding side characters that are Heroes. Still though, do you guys wish for me to add in people like Arche from ToP? The Magical Wife, Selan from Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals? I'm just asking because I'd like to know. I originally was just playing the "main" characters, but since you people seem to want those others, I'm ok with that too.

Wee! I actually see more than just the Bl... Jays. Damn Toronto Jays for changing their name. I still wish to call them the freaking Blue Jays. The Score doesn't do a bad job with televising games, I found. Plus, I really hoping that the Expos kick people's asses hard. Maybe even win the Series. Just to stick it to everyone.

That and it is just really funny to see the highest paid team in the MLB literially "fall apart". If you can't see the humor in that, I just don't know about you. Although, I'm really hoping Sheff can still go. I really don't want him injuried since he's on like a couple of my fantasy teams.

I've got: A Greencheeks Conure named Tazz. He knows over about 300 words, can speak pretty darn well intelligently for a bird, although it is like two year old speech. A Cremino Lovebird named Coco (strangers must refer to her as Lady Coco). Listens to love ballads, and also is a fan of Clay Aikins. Also speaks about 100 words. Most common word she'll say is "Dee Jay", which of course, refers to me. Two Fancy Budgies named Spike and Ocean. Spike can also be refered to as Helicopter since he flies like one and CAN hover like a freaking hummingbird. Spike also likes action movies, or any movie that includes a big bang. Ocean is more of the reserved type, yet will bitch you out if you screw up. Both speak, although they don't say very much. Spike recently learned to say "stupid kitty" when speaking to Gambit though. Two Cockitiels named Winter and Summer. Winter is pretty much the "goodie" guy. He likes Opera and absolutely is very much a big bird that you wish to cuddle. Too bad he tries kicking the crap out of you if you do so. Summer is very timid, yet she likes her cartoons a lot. Both can speak, although when they do it is quite rare. Then I've got a cat that's probably a mix of a Calico and a Simese, called Gambit. Very unusual cat, as he's very smart, a momma's boy (he'll seek mom if he wants to get away from everyone), and probably should be de-toothed since it isn't his claws you've got to watch out for, it is his teeth. Those things are sharp as knives. He split my wrist open (not deep) pretty darn easily. Gambit was in fact named after watching the ol' X-Men character, and my sister said "how about Gambit?" since we were still trying to name him. Sure enough, the cat came to her. You also need to watch out because Gambit will jump up and give you kisses and hugs when he needs some attention and affection. He'll also swat girl's asses for some reason (and yes, it is gender specific). Other than that, a normal cat. That's about it for my pets.

What I don't get is that they've just downplayed those three people in a trade. The Dudleys and Booker T's value will drop because this just downright makes Triple H worth more than those three. Not only this, but RVD and Booker T will probably get or have gotten a shot at the Tag Team titles. This downright blows. But at least we'll get continuity as Angle can now be after Eddy's reign as Champion and all that.

I snipped it so you at least know who I'm replying to. Now, when I say TEH DRHAMAH~! I speak of the teams having a heated bloody rivalry. You know why all this violence and crap gets turned on badly? Because there isn't any understanding behind it. We didn't see Moore basically run his mouth over the whole entire Canuck roster. Dryden or any Avalanche player cracks up about Belak's stick, but they would be hypocritical in a second if it was one of their own players doing that. How much it means for Nashville to make the playoffs for the first time in its existance. If you give that all to the fans, like it was in the ol' days. The hatred, the stupidity, the "real hockey", people would come and understand the aspects that happen. Not some bogus crap that people give out. P.S. I'm not condoning Bertuzzi, or that we really need Nashville in the playoffs; I'm just saying that you can't just go ho-hum to the sport.

Whatever happened to Zack Malibu saying he was interested in joining in the future. Someone needs to get on his case about becoming on of us. *chants 'One Of Us' ominously until everyone backs away* Malibu is pretty much in charge of OAOAST, so I doubt he'll have the time to join us. As well, I think he's sorta tied up with work and with OAOAST being solely his now (since the ol' guard left OAOAST to him), I doubt he'll be over here any time in the near future, or at least until he is absolutely finished with OAOAST.
