AJ Styles interview with IGN. Mostly fluff, but it's related to the game, so... http://sports.ign.com/articles/730/730581p1.html

I don't agree with the arcadey sentiment, either. Wrestlemania The Arcade Game was arcadey. Smackdown, is not.

I have to say the Lost Experience is some of the dumbest shit I've ever read/seen/heard about. "Hugh McIntyre publicly dismissed the show Lost as a fictional representation of real-life institutions like Hanso and events like the crash of Flight 815. He claimed that the DHARMA Initiative was discontinued in 1987 and had nothing to do with an island." Couldn't they just leave it as it's own universe? Did they really have to create this fake universe within a universe within our universe, complete with a real-but-still-fake Hanso Foundation and their "representatives" (read: actors) giving interviews on Jimmy Kimmel debunking the show as having nothing to do with the "real" Hanso Foundation. Ugh. Lame.

God I hope this means a widespread TV deal for Japanese wrestling in North America. I'm sick of having to order everything on DVD and/or download it from the net.

Someone test this for me: www.bestbuy.ca - it's going to the Royal Bank Canada website for some reason. EDIT: Scratch that. It's working now. That was wierd. Probably something with my work's DNS entries..

How about we avoid all future douchebags by closing new registrations? Or at least by having some sort of probationary period.

Why don't I own this yet?!

I thought he was supposed to retire soon?

Mario in space - Why not? The only interest I have in the 360 is for Dead Rising. The only interest I have in a PS3 is... well, I don't have any interest in it. The Wii offers me something different, a new way of playing games and a refreshing new control style. BTW - You can officially consider me a "mainstream casual gamer" now, as well. I barely have any time for this shit and when I do I usually tire of whatever I'm playing after about an hour or so. I think everyone shitting on the new "crazy style" for the Wii is failing to realize that gaming has become tiring, cumbersome and just plain old boring. I'll take Trauma Centre: Second Opinion over GTA4 or Metal Gear or Final Fantasy VII Part 1212343143.6 any day of the week. In other words: I'll be buying a Wii, for sure, when it launches.

I will laugh - hard - if her new show gets cancelled.

Has the battery exploded yet?

The video is on ECW.com. As for Sabu being pissed off at RVD for the attack.. maybe it's a mutual respect thing. Sabu knows that he was screwed out of the title so he can understand why he did what he did in an effort to get the title back.

Well, there's one of your problems. You own a Dell.

Moore needs to not be allowed to talk. He sounds like a little doofus. (Aside from looking like a big douchebag)

I see nothing difficult about learning the SvR2006 controls, at all. You're comparing it to the first Smackdown, which has completely different controls than SvR2006. NOTE: I'm talking about the controls here. How to do the moves. Not the clipping. Not the submission system. Not the stupid mini-games. The actual control-scheme of SvR2006 is fine, IMO.

What the fuck is with these actors?

Seriously! It's like Underworld with teen heart throb boy witches that have extremely contrived names like "Caleb Danvers" - give me a fucking break. Who greenlights this shit?? EDIT: Quoted the wrong post..

What do you guys hate so much about SvR2006's control system? I really don't mind it, at all. Mind you, the AI licks ass.

Wow was Wicker Man ever awful. Nicholas Cage is just a ridiculously unintentionally funny actor. I can't believe this guy thought that he could ever play Superman...

I think it would be nice if they would just build on the Legends roster, carrying them over from previous years (or allowing you to "export" them from your mem card). I will be very annoyed if there is no Ted DiBiase this year...

Wierd. They call it Raw Zone.

They're just pissed that they didn't start it themselves.

Hopefully they've fixed the fucking bullshit that prevented you from EVER hitting a top-rope finisher successfully. Every fucking time I'd go for a Frog Splash the opponent would get up and I'd just knock him down instead of actually landing the move for a pinfall. Ugh. Also, I'm hoping that the CAW has a little more variety in terms of outfit choices. Who the fuck uses all of those ultra-lame "pictures" in the tattoo section? WTF would I need a picture of a beachball for? Or a banner that says "Summer" or "Winter". LAME.

Do they ever do focus groups to see if players even WANT "Divas" as playable characters? I mean, fuck off with this shit already, they're just a waste of good roster space. Also, I've read somewhere (I can't remember where at the moment) that Mr. Perfect is supposed to finally be in as a legend this year. Here's hoping it's true.

Wow, it's like a Woody Allen movie.
