The Ghost of bps21

We'll be fine. We just got a literature folder.

"Yeah, that Stoll high sticking penalty where the other Shark did the high sticking was especially bad." No shit...the EXACT same thing happened to Buffalo when we played the Sharks. They got a free powerplay for getting hit with a teammates stick. It was bullshit...and they got TWO in the same week and a half?

I stared at the WWE title one swearing at the screen until I realized that I needed the last one. Which was pissing me off because I went over the lineage in my head 3 times and didn't think I missed any. And the fact that all are in alphabetical order but that one doesn't really help matters. I did figure it out before time expired.

Speed Bumps On The Road To Nowhere. ... It's more of a memoir...

It doesn't take even having started the regular game I don't think. Once downloaded it pops up right away and asks if you want to play it, if you choose no it takes you to the regular GTA IV startup. It seems to be it's own complete entity all the way through. Funnily, The Genesis game was down to just the copy they had for show when I went today... and Best Buy was out completely. I don't think they shipped very many. I feel like I found the only one in town.

This was a double post... hmm... There's a lot more gameplay in the Lost and the Damned then you'll find in most DLC. It makes Bringing Down the Sky look like a fart in the wind.

So I saw Thoth playing the Ultimate Genesis Collection and so I looked into the game and decided to buy it. I never had a Genesis growing up...so most of these games I've never played before. It's like a candy store in disc form.

They should put that quote on the cd packaging. Maybe that would help it move some units.

I got all the IC champions eventually. Funnily the ones I had the most trouble with were really really easy and stupid.

To be fair to those that are bitching about it...someone in the promotional department should know these things before they start advertising it. Someone's getting paid to not know the meaning of the words they use.

Oh I get it. Cause Benoit murdered his family.

I smell a posthumus Oscar nomination in 09. I doubt he can win though. Hey...Marvin was RIGHT about something! On the day Ledger died no less. Well...half right so far. I think he is going to win.

Does NBC own Talking Heads music catalog now or something? On monday Chuck featured Once in a Lifetime and the very next show, Heroes, busted out some Psycho Killer. Odd.

Woo! Buffalo made the subtitle. Way to go Marshawn!

If I had just one wish...it would be that the Sabres could face Justin Pogge every night. He is clearly not ready...but that's the Leafs for you.

I liked the floating champions idea when the did it the first time. Miz and Morrison are on every show anyway... they should unify the tag, womens and World titles and let them float to all 3 shows. It would do something to make the IC and US titles a bit more important since they'd actually be featured on their programs.

HHH's winning at Mania is fine...it just sucks if it's against the guy who should have the rocket strapped to him in Orton. Or whatevers left of him after Shane finished beating his ass every show.

Sherri Martel died after the Vince angle and before Benoit too... So we had fake death news on WWE.com right next to actual death news... on WWE.com

When Downey Jr. gets nominated for Tropic Thunder...I'd like to think that Ledger would have been nominated for the Dark Knight anyway.

Easy stuff here. Predict the most winners and be crowned...something. In the rare case of ties or drunk presenters giving Marisa Tomei more awards people will still get credit if the person they pick gets a statue.

Alright, fine. Someone see if we can get JHawk to give the winner some of his money.

I've started watching Impact on fast forward...so hopefully I'm not too late.

Actually that's pretty much most of the movies they nominated this year.

Also...if this thread gets to page 3 or so he'll be forced to start a new thread complaing about this one.
