Golgo 13

No, that would actually make sense, as opposed to the World Champion being beaten up by an announcer, a career midcarder and a total has been.

World Heavyweight Championship - Ejiro Fasaki - 162 day(s) and counting. International Championship - Jay Hawke - 181 day(s) and counting. World Cruiserweight Championship - Insane Luchador - 167 day(s) and counting. Hardcore Gamers Championship - Insane Luchador - 186 day(s) and counting. World Tag Team Championship - Wild & Dangerous - 295 day(s) and counting.

So did we give up on the site already?

I'm hijacking this. Join the SWF instead.

It's being developed by Yukes, apparently, and although I haven't played Toukon Retsuden, from what I understand their releases for Japan and the US may as well be night and day.

What happened to Stevie Richards. Is he injured again? In OVW?

I think I may have to go trick or treating locker room to locker room.

A sterotypical goth, as outlined in the SWF Did You Know thread. I came dangerously close to applying it to Manson in 2003 before pulling back on it, thankfully, but based on the reaction and comedy potential, if I were to come back as someone else after I retire, it would probably be as that. Although, being that goth isn't the subculture to make fun of anymore, I've since thought of going full emo with it instead. Obviously, I like Trigun. Another character would be a Vash ripoff, right down to the red trenchcoat, minus the ridiculous hair, though with less of a pacifist stance. He likes fun and the adulation and money that comes with wrestling. However, he doesn't necessarily like to fight and would rather have none of it, but he can take you out like that if you get on his bad side. Another would be similar to the Bemani Cross Wizards in the geek factor. This one would be a bit of a delusional nerd who sees wrestling like a literal game and his opponents as end bosses, with other assorted elements of nerd culture thrown in. His moves would be named after assorted video game stuff. Like the above anime ripoff, I came up with this one after an episode of Paranoia Agent, in which all the characters were in an imagined RPG-style world.

We need the firing squad back. Now there was a cost effective way to kill inmates. Although I don't think people like these should be put to death. They just need a bunch of hard labor and solitary confinement with a mattress, toilet and nothing more. There's no way they're being rehabilitated at this point, so focus on putting them to work and giving back to the state instead of being given privileges they don't deserve. It wouldn't fly with the disabled wife, but while the husband is old, he probably has a few years left to be put through his paces.

Holy shit. Sold.

Eh. I figured you would at least have a backup in mind. You know better than to trust me with anything.

Always expect the unexpected when you're up against Manson. In all seriousness, and it doesn't get more serious than MANSONOSITY, I intended to write a regular match... as I always do. I was gonna play heel and even spit beer in your face later on. That and the mock handshake was all set up to get me kicked off Lockdown with good reason. Of course, I did as I always do, procrastinating my ass off until I tacked on the Mansonality.

As you can see in his Bio (which is hilarious, by the way), he was known as Payne before becoming Tupper. Payne was in the IGNJL even before me, so he was around for a while before retiring in 2002. I had the pleasure of Pillmanizing his ankle once.

Then we'd have to push the PPV back, leaving us short for Storm, though I don't think that would be too much of a problem since it'd only be a promo show.

I meant sites, plural. Hell, I simply adblocked all those sites after some time. I don't bother with it.

I have the same problem. Well, it's not really a problem, since the shit is annoying. I'm pretty sure it's the site themselves.

He ran away to New Millennium Blues after he was insulted on the board and took it the wrong way, or something, though he was probably sick of TSM before that. I was thinking about this while in the Taito Legends thread, but I miss the light gun. Yeah, it's still around, but the genre seems pretty much dead. Is it the lack of quality games to the point where developers mostly figured it a lost cause? Is it the over reaction to violence? It was interactivity at its finest before the current trend with the Eye Toy, Revolution controller and those stand alone devices toy companies seem to be bringing out now. I'm surprised it hasn't seen a resurgence in the past few years.

How dare you.

Isn't that an insult. You kill yourself in plain view and still nobody notices you.

Then he began posting them elsewhere in misguided attempts to try and prove her hotness.

Ape Escape. One of the best, most innovative and prettiest 3D platformers of the 32 bit era. And don't forget the Crash Bandicoot games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spyro was a good series too, before being handed off to another company (Vivendi Universal, I believe).

I beat you anyway, Spike. No sense waiting around.

Did the conversion cart come with the system? I don't remember exactly - if it didn't, then I'd argue that it wasn't packaged in with the original console offering. If it did...well, all of the Atari systems after the 2800 died a horrible, horrible death, so there. But yeah, I'll grant you that I was incorrect in stating that the PS2 was the first. Mea culpa. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think the way it worked was that the 5200 had a conversion cart put out at a later date... after Intellivision already released a device that would allow 2400 games to be played on their system. Strike one for Atari. The 7800 had it already built in, allowing for 2400 games to be played... since 2400 was pretty much the more popular of the two. However, the 5200 compatibility wasn't built in, it's said due to differing cartridge types, although a coversion cart for that was planned but never released. In all fairness to Atari, they had no idea how to market the 5200, and it had to compete with Intellivision, which got a head start, and Colecovision, released around the same time. Maybe they just assumed that with the advent of newer technology, people would automatically flock to it. Hell, it was really the first second generation console anyway, which was unheard of at the time. The 2400 was still relatively popular and no one understood the concept of buying a newer system, especially with no conversion cart out. Then the crash came and that was that. As far as the 7800 goes, it was kept on the shelf for years. It was completed and set to release a year or so before the NES, then Atari was sold. The new owners wanted nothing to do video games, just wanted to used the Atari name for an improved computer line, and shelved it. Then when the NES got popular, they decided to pull the stock off the shelves and sell it, but it was too little, too late. Though it was still pretty inferior to the NES regardless, if only due to the now outdated technology in the system.

Another Coloradan. No hazing from me.

My problem with that Ethan theory is then Desmond also had to know there were new arrivals on the island in the form of the crash survivors, which he claims he didn't. He goes on to say he hasn't been out and about on the island in some time. Then says Kelvin 'died,' which, assuming it is Ethan, he couldn't have known unless he just assumes so. The only way this logically could have worked is if Ethan exited the hatch and looked for his replacements... 'died waiting for his replacements,' as Desmond said, caught wind of the survivors, took notice of Claire, retrieved (from the hatch, without telling Desmond of the survivors, possibly because it would endanger the job) or already had on him some of the medicine to inject her with, then was shot and killed later. Then when he never came back, Desmond assumes he caught the disease and was thus a lost cause or was captured by the infectees and killed. One thing we know now from the transcript, though, is that Desmond has opened the hatch door and possibly has been outside occasionally, though probably not far from the hatch. It could have just been to let Ethan back in when needed, like in the scenario above, or to dispose of the body if Kelvin died while in the hatch.
