That is quite incredible looking. To think that's a fan made game blows my mind, since I don't think you could get a much better 3D representation without re-designs or making them cel-shaded. I'd totally buy a remake of Chrono Trigger with a souped up battle system.

Since I'm personally holding out for the X-Box version, at least until any special features are announced (X-Box Live doesn't matter to me), and hopefully they'll make a version of that special controller for X-Box. BTW, if you're planning on getting that Game Elements (by Gemini) PS2 to GC/X-Box converter, don't. It was a decent price (12 bucks or so up Wal-Mart--half what it was up EB), but I tried it out and it sucks. On Metal Slug 3 I was eaten alive since it wasn't registering quick button taps. I do? Heh, well thanks. It seems odd that they'd omit stuff that would be very easy to implement, and yet squashed that movie onto the one DVD. However, I don't want to sound like all those GameFAQs posters who were complaining about the KOF 2000/2001 collection since they cut out Whip's gun move, Mai's bouncing boobies, and the blood. Obviously they wanted to get it available for a Teen rating in that case. However, in this case it seems more of a symptom of Capcom not really putting too much effort anymore into the 2D fighters, and that's a shame. Capcom Fighting Evolution is probably just going to be MvC2 with prettier graphics and a different roster. However, at least we got the far better deal between us and Japan. For 30 bucks we got both of them, but for full retail price in Japan they sold the games separately (more than full price for the special editions with extra junk), and I think you couldn't reconfig your controller in Japan Hyper SFII. Plus, Japan got reamed with the Rockman Complete Works, and we got Mega Man Anniversary Collection. So thankfully SCEA's anti-2D bias has some upsides. Capcom can't pull a Nintendo with their classic re-releases now. Maybe the SFII's were just less forgiving with specials, and it's more pronounced on a PS2 pad. Although if I get the X-Box version hopefully I can get a decent controller. What's up with those black and white buttons, anyway? They're awkward to use for any game, I've found.

*bump* Come one--3 more days. Hmph--this was Anya's idea and she didn't bother voting.

I don't know about the others, but I got bored of GTA3 and don't care about any sequels or upgrades. Plus I hate Rockstar, their attitude, and their marketing tactics, so they have a lot of bias to overcome to interest me. Of course, they don't need me, since millions are already sold on it. If it turns out to be really fantastic, I can pick it up probably 6 months after release for 12 bucks. Plus, I personally am extremely jaded these days and few new games catch my interest. When I get a new magazine in the mail with new MGS3 info, I flip through it and check the other features. I don't give a damn about it, either.

Ha! That's funny. But also sad. Well, over 3 years ago Jericho was feuding with BENOIT over the Intercontinental Title in a Ladder match after a long feud. Still, at least he's progressed since where he was nearly 5 years ago--feuding with Chyna over the IC title. Benoit on the other hand...uh...he's in a tag match to fill time. Glad they didn't decide to heavily depush him or anything, despite that lousy title run being completely his fault. If it wasn't fixed and I didn't know they'd be punching like sissies I'd care. If we got some solid punches and they looked like they were trying to kill each other out there, we'd have something.

With Jericho as a face, and Christian yet to cut a really good promo since coming back, I suppose so.

......how?!??!

I still don't think Yukes will bother changing Orton's theme now, but you never know. So Orton will have the Evolution theme instead? I have no complaints about that, although if they had somehow been able to put it in Evolution's theme would of course still be available. I hated HCTP, but on SYM I made him a thinner, uglier Vader in casuals. Since I don't really have to have wrestlers that were left out look like they should, it's nice to give different movesets to wrestlers that suck and get use out of them. I prefer it that way than how it is in No Mercy, where you're stuck with the default move sets. So make Palumbo...uh...a more tanned Razor Ramon with curlier hair, or something. I actually got the idea from WCW vs. the World, where they had stuff like Dynamite's look but Vader's moves.

I guess it isn't just me that seems to think the D-pad is more teh suk for this game than usual? I can play the Alpha's quite fine, even pulling off the Somersault Justice with relative ease, but at times I'm having trouble with more basic motions. It's a ploy to sell those damn controllers, I just know it! Oh, and I know they're missing because Hyper is a glorified hack of Super Turbo, but why didn't they put back in the Bonus Stages? They had an expanded set of Bonus Stage challenges in the GBA Turbo Revival, but they couldn't leave them in here? If you're going to do nostalgia, Capcom, don't half-ass it. (/Picky Fanboy Ranting)

Well, there are a lot of shitty movies to go around this summer for everyone. Oh--and while The Cookout is doing a lot better, it has something else in common with Superbabies: 0% at Rotten Tomatoes. I'm glad Hero still tops and that Anacondas is still doing surprisingly well. ....why is Without a Paddle number 2? America, I've lost a lot of faith in you this summer anyway, but seriously...

Between SD and Raw--yeah, *Raw* needs the help. Riiiight. Ladder Match stip and Cage Matches sound like Heyman to me. I doubt Heyman had anything to do with the Diva Search stuff. Was there anything that was really bad on Raw? I don't think so. It was just kinda either good or just lying there. Diva Search stuff was boring, which I think sounds completely unlike something the writing team would do. You'd think they'd have some slap-fighting or something to follow up. Instead we got arm wrestling and chili.

decent card, crap for buildup. Middle-of-the-road Raw, IMO. Some good stuff--but can't bring myself to care about Eugene/HHH or Orton. Opening segment was good but dragged a bit. Although I couldn't get past the fact that "oh wow--Jericho's in the same position he was over 4 years ago." and Unforgiven is Sunday? They didn't really build up some of the main matches. Okay, Orton/HHH yes, but HBK only appeared for the Rep convention, Christian JUST came back, I didn't realize Victoria vs. Trish was happening (not that it matters either way), ditto for the tag match, and why is Benoit in a pointless slapped-together tag match vs. Evolution on a PPV? I'm not buying Randy as champ. His character is...uh...he rebels against HHH and Bisch? Yeah, big deal. *yawn* Oh, he spit at HHH. Yay? The investment of time in the wedding angle baffles me. Especially since Kane's not going to be doing much of anything once the angle is over.

Lilian swearing in Spanish: =D Nidia swearing in Spanish : zzzz...

*smiles and nods*

"Any other weekend, The Cookout and Paparazzi would have set records." Did I miss the sarcasm? However, The Cookout looks like contender for Worst Movie of the Year. Granted, Super Babies, White Chicks, and Soul Plane (why do studios think black folks like REALLY SHITTY MOVIES?) are tough competition, but I have a lot of faith in it, if only for that.

"did those two (Heyman and Gerwitz) get in a fight one night backstage last year" Yup. I remember it being mentioned quite clearly. "I like Gerwtiz though...he did some great stuff in 2000 with Kreski and others......he has talent....if he's surrounded by good people......Although I don't agree with him leading a creative team.....his special area is comedy(segments and promos)...... " I agree. That is, if those ellipses are leaving out the many reasons and many examples of why he sucks shit.

Rock has disowned Smackdown, and now CSI is his show.

And still champion--that guy!

I'll give them credit--they're at least trying to make good use of the cage since they specially had to bring it here. Oh crap, Randy wins--so we have to hear his shitty music again.

From my understanding, it will take up a half hour of the Smackdown timeslot on UPN. edit:GWN beat me to it. Vince doesn't favor Raw--he's trying to make the two brands distinct!! Yeah, and Sean O'Haire was totally wasted.

Texans are ****ed up. They think chili is a sexy food?

I'll bet anyone here 100 dollars that I can predict who gets eliminated next week.

Decent, if uneventful, Raw. It was fine as far as I was concerned until Eugene-HHH. Why am I supposed to care about Eugene again?

A sneak peek at Kane's costume Hopefully they'll have Trish in it dressed as the ice cream woman. Even funnier than the Dunn quotes.

My one question about it--why do his old posts, instead of "Unregistered," appear to be still up and normal except for "Group: Banned?" Did the mods change how banned poster's posts appear, was it Invision, or what? That's partly why I didn't notice he was banned until I strolled over to HD.
