    Where To Purchase Anime?

    Hm. I see. I'll check into that then. Didn't know some had best buy titles. Rightstuf sold NGE for 40 US? That's a steal. Ok, remember that site I mentioned earlier, NextdayAnime? Anyone know anything about them? Cause I've been looking at the prices and their insanely cheap. Ah, good old BoxTorrents. How I downloaded from thee... I managed to get Love Hina off of them before ADV went apeshit and had it pulled. While I don't mind downloading, anime is one of those things I want to physically own. Unless its like a fansub of something that's either a) gonna get dumbed down upon reaching the US (like Naruto will) or b) no chance in hell its gonna be released (like, well I'll use Ichigo [even though its only in manga form right now]).

    "Steals" what do you mean? Like do a lot of a series that have no chance in hell of coming over? Or are in the stages of being brought over (ie: not for like five years later)?

    Where To Purchase Anime?

    One of my friends had a Hong Kong bootleg. It was of Flame of Recca, which wasn't terrible but damn if I wasn't a speed reader those subs would fly freaking buy as fast as people said them. ^__^;; So the Region 1 Ripoffs are pretty good. Alrighty, why did FX stop being supplied? They get caught or something? And considering I'm used to watching my anime on my monitor, don't think having a slightly lower quality will be all that bad to getting all the goodies with it. Oh, I found this one site called: www.nextdayanime.com Anyone know if this place is any good? Prices seem quite reasonable... Which scares me.

    WWE Wrestlemania 21

    Most likely it is that small because they wanted to concentrate on everything else for the game. Which is stupid, but if they add any "cool" moves to the movelist, it might take away from the actual wrestler's movelists as well. Hence not adding more moves to the movelist. Or at least that's the reasoning they'd come up with.

    WWE Wrestlemania 21

    Retail outlets are supposed to release the game on the "offical" release date. Most tend to ignore it if they get it, because rarely does anyone report games going on sale before the official release date. Most times the "official" release date will end up on a Tuesday to coincide with the release of movie purchases. If a game is released on a Friday, it'll usually end up on the following Monday because they arrive late on Friday, hence how you get games on Monday. Because nothing is able to be processed over the weekend (at least for retail sale).

    Where To Purchase Anime?

    Bootleg? Is there any difference in video quality or anything? I wouldn't mind if everythings the same, but the stuff is better. Terrrible subs I've seen. I downloaded Tenchi Muyo GXP (which is the actual DVD rip) and geezus the actual sub is what the english VAs speak. Which is brutal because its NOT the exact same thing as what the japanese VAs are saying. I was so pissed because So yeah. I wouldn't mind bootlegs, as long as its good quality for the subs because I like watching it as english first than japanese with subs. And I really don't trust going E-bay. Ok this I didn't know.

    ...ok. Since when did they take pay-pal? And if you mean buy from other people, no. I want to buy them brand new.

    How do I get the arrows to move inwards? I'd love to do that cause that would be great.

    The formation of 2-2-6: My current formation that is a 2-4-4 I like your formation btw, nice and stylish. Doubt Luton could defend against that team. Ah ok... v_v But I want that really cheap Canadian... He's very freaking good too.

    Buying things I can get for free

    Nah, what you do isn't a bad thing. Hell, if I had the money, I wouldn't be downloading half or most of the stuff I do/am, but I'd go out and buy the product.

    Championship Manager 5

    Oh.. Ok that makes more sense now. Kinda weird a sponsor came up with the idea. Ah, ok. That makes more sense now. Well, they told me to win the league trophy and aren't quite impressed with me being 5th (I lost 7 matches, stupid injuries), but I'm at least still in the hunt. Oh all three are good all-rounders, the three that aren't are specialized. But I meant I payed the 3 new coaches 500 a week each coach. Don't know why I added the 1 before it. Well, it has a few flaws that get exposed lately, and you actually described it pretty much. I'll give what you say a shot and see how that works. Sending scouts to Scandinavia? Alrighty, I'll give it a look. Hopefully I can find some more cheap talent. Found a Canadian I wanted to sign and I've tried like 5 times, but can't get a freaking work permit. Hopefully I don't get the same problem with people in Scandinavia. Hm... I think I managed to make it to a third round in one of them, if I'm not mistaken. I'll have to wait for my next game. Ah, ok. Thanks for the list, I'll look into them right away. Although on my striker side, I've got like 3 or 4 of them on my main team, so I'll lay off on strikers. >_< I can't run the game. It dies on my machine... Wah... I can't compare it. About 26-28... In about 20 games. But that's usually due to my goalie being a flipping idiot lately. ...that game against Blackpool in which I lost 5-3 didn't help much either. That and its more of a 2-4-4. I just forget the wideouts move up into the rush, so I think its a 2-2-7. Whatever the numbers are. >_< I forget.

    And Mike Cameron's heading to the 15 Day DL. Wonderful here. Simply wonderful. Walking Wounded should've been my team name. *sigh* Oh well, at least I can rotate my offense around this little mishap. Unfortunately, my offense has done jackshit. Except the lone guy named Jose Valentin whose on my FUCKING BENCH. Urgh...

    Championship Manager 5

    Hm... Didn't think about that player thing. That's interesting. I should've done that. Oh well, I'll do it next year. As for the patch, I think my version is patched. Might have to check with my various sources whom I got it from, but I think it was patched. What's so funny about it? Works very well. Well... At least when the stupid D does it flipping job. Which has been happening more and more recently. Almost beat Blackpool in a shootout 5-3. Blackpool had like 30 shots on net and I had like 25. But my guys managed to keep it tight. Surprisingly. My various sources have once again provided me with this game, so I'll see how it is. Hopefully its good.

    Coke got all the league changes made? Geezus, that's kinda weird that one sponsor could change everything. But still, kinda neat how that works. BTW, if you get 1st, do you get the Cup? Or how does that work. As my board is expecting me to get the Cup, yet I'm not sure how I'd get the Cup if there isn't a playoff thing for it. Ok, that's good to know that I get a bigger cashflow if I move up a league. I've got most of my guys signed to 3 year deals (I don't sign players short term), and if need be, I can always move up a league. ;; I just found out I've got $30 left so can't fire them now. And I mean sucky coaches in that I only kept them caue they were better in a single category than the 3 I hired (which are all good coaches). Yeah, the coaches are quite a lot, but I'm only paying the three new coaches about 1500 a week, so I think that's not bad. >_< I'm not used to describing tactics. Its basically a 2 DCs, 2MLs, 2 WGs, 3Fs, and a striker. Although that would come up as a 2-4-4 offense, the WGs have run feeds and are on the attack, so that's why its a 2-2-7. Its actually not bad. If I could get my proper guys back from injury its a swell tactic to run. Although, I'm still playing around with it to perfect it. Bosmans? I've done a few of those, in which I got Callum Flanagan (hopefully I got the last name right) who's my top scorer right now (tops in the league too!). So Hull, Hibernian and Motherwell. I'll look into it when I get into next season. Oh, ok. So don't worry myself about them that's good to know. Oh, so the FA is better than the other two. Ah, I see. I'll try winning that one then. If I ever get to it. Oh, I've got scouts and stuff, but just wondering if anyone had opinions on players to get cause I've only got 3 scouts and one scouts opposing teams to give me the lowdown. So I like to make sure that I might not miss someone. So is FM really that much better than CM5? How much better is it?

    Aw, boo-hoo... You know, that and Lima basically fucked you over for even having a shot at getting the ERA category from me. BTW, I don't think day-to-day would've helped you much either on that one. As for the IP, HarleyQuinn just shelled me with a message that pretty much read: "Change the minimum IP, otherwise we are all fucked." More or less. Had a lot more niceness to it, but that's what he summed it up. Its 24 IP right now (and that goes for this week). Considering you can only win 5 categories on either side, your offense ain't gonna get you 5 all the time, and then you are fucked. So don't just have an offense based team. Not having you sit there with just 1-3 pitchers and get just the bear minimum of stats need to win most of the categories. Both teams fail to achieve, both have all pitching stats waved (which means teams draw). I originally had it at 25 before, so if you want to blame someone for the 30, look at the new commish (who has now changed it to 24 which I'm assuming it stays, but I'm not him so no idea). And can we shut up on the day-to-day roster stuff or weekly? The league is a weekly so just deal with it.

    Yankee dynasty officially over

    You know, maybe this is the start of a Yankee curse? Don't get into a closing situation with the Red Sox, or you'll have it blown by your closer. It can be the Rivera Curse.

    So that's what the brown thing was on teams 3-6. I kinda figured the green on the top two meant they got promoted, but I wasn't sure about the brown. Do you get like a huge payroll and transfer increase if you jump into the next league? Cause I'm like $300,000 in debt and only getting worse (god damned injuries >_<) and cheap players are hard to find. Would loans be cheaper than hiring out lots of talent? Or should I just get cheap talent instead of loans? Also I've got like 6 coaches, 3 of whom I had sign on with me and suck really badly and 3 who are really nice. I was thinking of ditching the other 3 whom sucked, but each one's got better rankings in 1 category than my good 3 coaches. Does it really matter if I keep all 6, or should I dump the 3 bad ones? As for formations, I got a kinda neat one I did up recently. Its a 2-2-7 formation. Its kinda cool in that all the players end up making sure you can't get into the middle and it literially makes it killer for the amount of shots you get on net (I think I had like 20 shots on target in one game). Also allows most shots on the goalkeeper (your team) to come from the outside rather than straight up the middle, thereby allowing him to easily make saves, yet nothing dangerous. Callum Fallangan is like my top scorer with like 8 in league goals from this strategy. Um... do you happen to have any players I can look into aquiring? Probably not this season since I'm like down to like $60,000 on transfer fees, but any hopefuls that I could shop for during the next season? Oh and about Cup stuff. I know there's like UEFA and like Euro Championship, and apparently a little one I got entered into (I forgot which one), but not how they work. Could someone explain that?

    Lordy, is EVERYONE injuried this year? I mean, bloody hades, the place is just filled with people being on the DL. Sure only 15 days, but seriously, tons of people on DL right now.

    Is there a Canadian Netflix? I'm curious, cause this seems ideal for me to get my anime fix in.

    2005 WWE Television Win-Loss Record & Standings

    Threats of 3 and 4 ways get counted as a loss for everyone who didn't win the match. Hence how you have people with extra losses.

    TSM H2H NBA League: Year Two (2004-2005)

    Yeah more than likely, I'm sticking to just a baseball league or two and probably just h2h league football here. Maybe get into one hockey league if hockey ever resumes.

    Fantasy Baseball Teams

    That's about my only concern is the Boones. I think Bret will be alright, and I'm just hoping Aaron sticks around. If Aaron goes, I can always move Uribe to 3B and Valentin to SS, or if Bret goes down I can move Uribe to 2B and Valentin to SS. So I'm covered there. Cameron's wrist is good to go apparently, he's scheduled to start this week (day to day) but we'll see how that plays out.

    A Canadian Scandal

    Ah, Highland. You forget that Chretien was from Quebec and therefore it was ok to look like that, as he got Quebec votes. As for this, I could really care-less if the Liberals stay in power. I don't trust the Conservatives on some of their views and I will never vote NDP with that idiot in charge. I'd care about the Conservatives if that lady (damn, her name always slips when I'm trying ot recall it) had won, as she seemed like the only "honest" one of the bunch of idiots around the park. And this is likely the only scandal to get caught. Most likely the Tories, the NDP all have had scandals. Just the Liberals got caught in the worst way. Nice Jowy avvy, btw.
