Golgo 13

I haven't done it before, but am sure I can do it without ruining my PC. I could go to a tech site for this, but I've read enough about the actual process, and this is for the questions they sometimes don't answer and would have to go somewhere else for. I'm in desperate need of space and thought of an external drive, but since I hear they're not well suited to anything more than back-up, sometimes fickle and not as fast, I figured an internal drive is the solution. And I'd need another eventually. First, it's a basic Dell of a few years. Yes, I need to upgrade to something else, but that's for the future. First, I can just throw this thing into the spare drive bay, right? Like I would a second CD/DVD drive, since there's nowhere for a new HD to sit by the old one. There's also no spare IDE connector on the motherboard, but one of the ribbons does split off, presumably for an instance like this, but I want to make sure. I also find there aren't a whole lot of options for ATA-100 drives these days, as SATA is more numerous, but the motherboard only has these out-of-favor connectors. I've seen some SATA to ATA-100 adapters, but want to know if they're a viable option in order to get one of these newer drives to work in my current PC... at least until I upgrade. If not I'll just go with an ATA since I don't know when I would get around to it.

DX's theme was by Chris Warren. This is Age Against the Machine, a Rage cover/tribute band. Candice's version was mellower with a slower pace and had a different pitch to the vocals. It's nice to have full versions of Voices and Pain. Those, Land of Five Rivers, and Swagger's are the only worthwhile ones. I liked Umaga's old theme more. The new Priceless is trash and takes away the intent of any version before. I don't think anyone would've minded having the original or any of the five or six remixes after that.

Which means Orton goes from unpredictable psycho to little jock bitch. Again. After months and months of turning into a ruthless monster. Not necessarily, it can be more of his manipulative sociopath aspect. Either way it's the only direction they can go to salvage this.

Considering everyone expected the Hardys vs. Edge & Christian, this is new.

Same with Stan Hansen... his lariat was certifiably deadly. I think it was the Axe Bomber Batista was using. I wish he would have kept it.

Pretend I was talking to Czech.

The hell is a Smarks Junior League? The SJL was the OVW to the SWF's WWE until slow activity forced us to close it. It's nothing more than an archive now. You could throw everything SJL into the SWF folder, I guess, but I'm no spokesman.

Good to go for the first, we'll see about the second.

Snuka is 37 years old, Manu is 24yo. Ok and? And I don't think the wwe is going to choose to push a 37 yr old basically from scratch, or less than scratch since Deuce jobbed a helluva lot. And this is likely as good as Deuce is going to get... which is not very good at all. I truly thought Domino was the better of the two, knew how to work the crowd better, and had more upside. I'm not seeing it, but at this stage he'd be better off milking the Snuka name and look for as long as he can anyway, rather than whatever it is he's supposed be now. Manu will be fine. He can still learn, is mobile enough, has enough of a moveset to differentiate himself from Umaga, and has a hook in being a non-typical Samoan. He's not bad by any stretch. He was simply brought up too soon.

X-Men TAS has been or is currently being released in Europe but there are no plans to do so here. I don't think it's aged very well, but since I wasn't a fan of Evolution, it's the best by default. From what I've read this has a good shot at surpassing it.

Come on. This team finished exactly where they were supposed to. I said at the start of the season they'd finish 8-8. And 8-8 with pretty much every running back the team signed going on IR is pretty respectable. How are you supposed to win when every team knows you'll be throwing the ball on virtually every down? Besides, Pat Bowlen LOVES Shanahan. No way is he not back next season. It'd be nice if they get someone who can coach some defence, though. Very well. This should be it, then, even though it likely won't be and I don't know who else is out there that would work anyway. It's really not this year alone, but the personnel decisions on his watch, one playoff win in a decade, and missing out on the playoffs entirely the last three seasons. After Sundquist was made the scapegoat, then if not for injuries, Shanahan wouldn't have an excuse. I also wouldn't consider some of their losses throughout the season and the way they finished out the year respectable or something to build on and look forward to.

This must be it for Shanahan, right?

Nice to see Balkman come in late instead of when Denver could have used him when he's been one of the better players off the bench this season.

No match after my latest folly, but expect a promo.

I had high, spiked hair and wore multi-colored clothes, especially off-brand Zubaz and sweatpants. I can hardly be blamed since it was the late-80s/early-90s. My look was topped off by large-rimmed glasses and a fanny pack. I was emotional and prone to outbursts, but I don't think much of what I did was actually embarrassing. I can't really remember a lot from back then, though, and most of my time for mischief was taken up by excess television, video games, instrument practice, drawing a lot, and a tenure in the Boy Scouts. I know I ate ants on occasion and was obsessed with the Ninja Turtles, Top Gun, and Karate Kid, which isn't really that unusual. When left to my own devices my exploits usually took the form of injuring myself. In a way it was a waste.

4-5 months too late to boot.

I don't mind his name so much anymore, that's what makes the gimmick work. It's just a shame there isn't a better wrestler behind it.

It's strange how Knox managed to intimidate and shake up Mysterio more in two weeks than Kane did in their entire feud together. Or at least that's how it looks on my end.

I haven't been following this shit, but how does the Dudleys with Frontline make any sense? They seem like the antithesis of everything Frontline stands for.

So are we still gonna do a promo show in the next couple weeks?

SmackDown needs him more, but he'll be used better on Raw.

Palumbo is very underrated and was great when he was terrorizing McCool and Noble. For a while it was the best thing on SD in spite of her involvement. The momentum there should've allowed him to be used as an upper mid-card JJTS type, which unfortunately didn't happen. But the guy is also 37 and the biker gimmick could only last for so long. AFAIK London hated Japan, but needed to tour there to supplement his income. Or so I heard from someone here.

He's improved, but while I agree in principle, I still wouldn't trust Ortiz with much, and his splash at least has some panache to it to make up for Ortiz not being exceptionally large. I've said before that All-American American has more to do with his collegiate accomplishments than being an actual Angle-like American. That's all there really is to it. Miz needs a new finisher. Someone on the board said that rather than going total Bruiser Brody with Knox that he should bring in more of a mountain man survivalist element into the gimmick. I like that.

In. Also seconding a promo show.

I'll always associate Max Fleischer, Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, and Hanna-Barbera (with their work on Tom and Jerry) with the era before Disney. I can't think of Disney as anything other than their movies and the Disney mystique. It helps that I grew up with everything non-Disney on my TV. I know the movies, the shorts, and everything else, and have seen them all, but little of it ever hit home the way a simple half-hour of Looney Tunes or even Tom and Jerry did. I never really got caught up in Disney either. Including Looney Tunes there was a lot at the time that was just all-around cooler than Disney was. Hanna-Barbera would be the Silver Age if I were to bring in a comics metaphor. They're what I think of when someone brings up 60s-70s animation, and vice versa. They were basically the only game in town, if I'm not mistaken. But while they first made their names during the Golden Age, it was as part of MGM and not as a full-fledged, self-sufficient studio. As far as the 90s and later are concerned, a lot of Disney's shows just kind of run together, honestly. WB was more varied and daring in the 90s while Disney's stuff is like a soulless cash grab with a bunch of diluted properties turned mediocre series. It makes money, sure, but with every successful movie being turned into a television series and three or four direct-to-video sequels, it's ridiculous. I don't know if that's better or worse with WB not knowing what the hell to do with the Looney Tunes characters, but there's still some variety and experimentation in what they continue to put out.
