Nope; much like not too many 12-14 males are going to be rushing out to play Bear in the Big Blue House. It just isn't happening. Truth be told, the focus should be on making games that are good, first and foremost, and if you can make it appeal to lots of people, good. That's why Mario's so awesome. Games that seem to have been conceived, carefully target-marketed, focus-grouped, etc usually seem so transparent and pandering that they really piss me off. It's the result of people thinking "your demographic might like this" rather than "we busted our butts to make an enjoyable game."

Plus Conan's self-deprecating humor works great, as opposed to Kilborn the cocky prick. I don't know if it was late night, but what about "Danny!"? The Chris Wylde Show managed to be worse than the Magic Hour, amazingly enough.

Why does everyone hate Acclaim? I've never noticed. Are all their games usually that bad? I can't think of a lot of what they've published besides Turok and the WWF/ECW games....what else have they done? Are the bad games the only reason people hate on them, or is there more to it? Every game on from the PSone days to present have sucked complete ass, the graphics are terrible and glitchy, and overall lazy efforts put into everything. Since the PS1 days? Heck, from 8-bit onward they've pumped out plenty of shitty games with only a few exceptions (stuff made by the Probe team and translations of Midway games to home consoles). Take a look at WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game. Now look at the sequel produced in-house by Acclaim. Ugh. Acclaim is the king of shitty cash-in licensed games. Acclaim also does not have a quality control department. They simply do not care about the mediocre-to-terrible games they create. BMX XXX--need I say more? I seriously doubt they'd want the responsibility. They just wanted to sell their name for profit. You're in a very small minority of females, then. Therefore, you don't matter to large game companies. Acclaim isn't competent enough to capture that audience. That would require them to assemble a game that could hold the attention span of a human being over the age of 10. They have a hard time doing that without restrictive licenses. Square would be in a far better position to do that in between Final Fantasy What-the-hell-ever, since their games are far better and far more appealing to young females than Pop Star Flavor of the Week in Collect-A-Ton XXXII.

*stunned silence that some people actually think Steiner should get a title push, even on SD*

*honks the "NOBODY GIVES A FUCK" horn. Doesn't this belong in the "compressed mess of pointless shit news thread" we're supposed to have every day?

Does anyone actually like Love Hina, or is my perception that's a stupid, unfunny mess of female-on-male violence correct?

Pfft, yeah right.

Yes, because if you listen to rap you can't possibly be a mature adult. Fucking idiot And your post proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Yes, because listening to death metal and the like makes you so mature Aaand, you're talking to whom? I don't listen to death metal. However, you don't get that lashing out and swearing makes you anything but mature.

Yes, but Sony America were having a real problem with Metal Slug 3. I don't recall price ever being an issue in the whole thing. I have no problem with what they did with the PS1 Mega Mans, and it's a shame Nintendo is doing the same damn thing with their GBA/NES line.

If Jackie were Japanese... http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=1808

What old Megaman Collection? You mean the shameless ripoff scheme Capcom pulled in Japan where they'd release the original games ONE PER DISC individually on the PS1? Also, who said those "old" games had to be full price? There have been budget games released for $10-$20 bucks for a while now. KoF99 was 10 bucks new, I think.

"I'm a professional prostitute, and that, after all, is what all performers are: prostitutes." -- Kevin DuBrow Don't tell me Foley isn't, because he is one. He's a performer in the business, and one of the biggest ones out there when it comes to "whoring."

Because Lex Luger's involvment in Liz's death actually got mainstream coverage and the steroid incident was another covered story... That's odd, I don't recall it being covered by any non-wrestling media outlets. I'm sure the local news in the area it happened covered it, though. Still, why would they care to give a smidgen of attention to that insane carnie Vince? They tend to pretty much ignore him after the Billy/Chuck incident.

ChrisMWaters kinda started a similar thread--this could have gone in there. Well, this is kinda cawthon's thing, but I'll bite. I remember nothing else about the 1999 PPV but the Owen incident. Nothing on that card seems to remotely ring a bell except for the Gunn/Road Dogg feud. It was the day after my birthday, too... I don't even remember Mr. America vs. Piper happening. Some one told me it actually happened on another message board, but I have no memory of it.

Screw that. I want to see if Luger and Billy Gunn can both exist together side by side.

"I think the reasoning behind that is that it's near the Holidays, and they don't try as hard as they can." So that explains all those crappy Starrcades...

It works! It appears you only had to add an "s" and change one word. Too perfect. I disagree about it being the funniest thing you ever posted, though.

Could be. They managed to have Eddy vs. Benoit on the card, and even that match was a letdown. Actually, wasn't Armageddon 1999 shockingly good? The card didn't look too good, but people were busting ass and it was pretty entertaining up and down the card. Oh, and it had b00bi35 LoL!~

"but again WWE would be fools to do this. The press won't respond nicely for vince hiring a guy who was arrested for Possesion of Steroids and other shit and was a suspect in a murder investigation of his girlfriend." Actually, they won't respond at all. They didn't care the last time he hired an ex-con (Nathan Jones). Why would they care now?

Well, she's perky at least. Can't complain about that in a manager/T&A girl/bukkake target. "However, if your dream is to become a professional wrestler or a professional plumber" ...who says you can't do both?! "that's right, Rico is fruity and, well, I have melons!), " LOL2004!!!!~~~~~ Some one needs to tell her that slang and certain other expressions really do not require quotation marks. "I do one day hope to be battling it out for the Women's Title, and that is a main career goal of mine." So, they'll probably let her do that when...she's at least as good as Lita?

I'm almost positive that's how it worked out, because I played through the game about 4 times and generally I saw it in the same places. For example, it may be in one area the first time you enter it, or in an area you've been in before after returning from completing a certain event/beating a certain boss.

"Let me first say that there really is no RAW vs. SmackDown! as far as for better or for worse." BWAHAHAHA!!!
