If they release this Stateside they'd damn well better give us Chrono Trigger in portable form.

It's a shame the announcers have no clue how to hype up Finlay. It really showed in that tag match last night. Benoit--current US champ, former World Heavyweight Champ! JBL--former WWE champ held it for a record setting 10 months! Lashley, the impressive newcomer who had an undefeated streak until Finlay got involved! Orton--youngest former World Heavyweight Champ ever! Finlay--he's, uh, a veteran! Off and on they'll mention Rey's previous pre-WWE titles, but I don't expect to hear Cole mention that Finlay's held lots of titles in Britain. Surprisingly, WWE.com mentions his titles in WCW.

The others also all had the word "Jerk" in them, so I wasn't exactly trying to distance myself from my personality. edit: plus I've got a stockpile of pictures of people with "Y2Jerk" signs. For some reason his posts really dipped in quality when he became RobotJerk.

Vampire Killer, Wicked Child, Bloody Tears...hell, I could go on and on. Castlevania in general has incredible music, even when the games suck (Curse of Darkness). Zelda overworld. Both FFVI overworld themes. Most of Chrono Trigger's soundtrack, from the individual character themes, to the overworlds, to the boss themes--great stuff. Soul Blade's "World Atlas Collapsed" really puts you on edge when you end up fighting some demonic manifestation in some surreal netherworld. "Edge of Soul" is cheesy but extremely memorable. Although a notable mention goes to Bravely Folk Song. I really like it for some reason. In comparison, Soul Calibur 1+2's theme music sounds dull and samey... (Although I also love the Zelda remix for Link). Ghosts n' Goblins level 1--mainly because few people ever got past that part. Earthworm Jim's New Junk City, Buttville, Level 5, and even though it's definitely not original, the Heck stage theme. Most memorable Sonic themes for me are when you fight Mecha Sonic in Sonic & Knuckles, Lava Reef Zone, Ice Cap Zone (the original, not that putrid replacement that's in the PC version), any of the Death Egg themes.

When the match is over you hear Godzilla roar in that stage.

It's a great deal. The solo carts Aria were fetching about sale price (25-30 bucks) in EBs/Gamestops. Harmony of Dissonance had, I believe, a more limited production and were going for around 40. Aria is boss. Definitely get it if you haven't already. Harmony isn't nearly as good of a game, suffering from more limited gameplay, clunkier controls, and poorer music. However, it's still a good game, but Circle and Aria are superior IMO.

March 21: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/Sir...7/jl1resize.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/Sir...7/bb1resize.jpg (Credit: Sirkenz from agonybooth.com forums for the pics) I don't know if Batman Beyond was any good, really, because outside of a few eps on CN and Return of the Joker, I didn't see much else of it. Going by previous pricing schemes, I expect $20-$24 (depending on retailer) for the BB set, and $34.99ish for the JL set.

I remember a time when that was more logical, appealing, and interesting... but HHH refused to do so. Hmm.

Daikatana had about a 3 year development cycle, and the delay/crappiness has a lot to do with the programmers and Romero spending lots of their time/money on drugs as opposed to making the game. I doubt that's hearsay either, since for a college project one of my classmates interviewed an ex-Ion Storm programmer. The guy was (at the time anyway) flat broke and getting by selling books online while living with his mother. OOT had a lengthy gestation period, but was well worth it. Call me naive or hopelessly optimistic, but I expect Duke Nukem Forever to be out before the end of 2008, or whatever the project has morphed into at this point. There must be tons of lost/misplaced preorder slips for that game. Thankfully my TP preorder slip is safely tucked away in my GC OOT/MQ casing.

Yeah, but you made ridiculously off-base comparisons to DNF. Original release for LoZ: TP -- Winter 05. Original release for DNF -- sometime in 1999 One actually exists and hasn't been scrapped and restarted endlessly. The other doesn't even has any screenshots available.

The lamest part is that purchased music that's downloaded is inevitably compressed, and while you can back them up to CDs, you would face a pain in the ass of a time organizing them. How would it even be enforced? Apple: Download iTunes 7.0! Now with the feature of preventing you from ripping music from CDs! So...you'd probably just download something else to convert them to AAC/MP3s even in that case.

So... Nick's going to get the megapush and the rest will be buried/released?

Next week--Marty heel turn.

Duggan > Jobbers half his age.

I think that's an industry-wide term. Also acceptable is "in no condition to perform" when somebody shows up to work liquored up/high/etc.

Marty Jannetty?!? I guess he got those personal demons taken care of. (For now).

Lawler said "wrestlers." OMG FINE PLZ

He can hiptoss and dropkick. Stunning.

I think he's a FAN actually.

What is Kane's finisher these days?

I'm impressed Kane still keeps the front half of the top of his head completely bald, yet I'm sure Vince doesn't ever remember why.

Maybe those Body Spray folks are sponsoring a WWE title.

All he needs is a long blonde wig and he can get into Steph's ear. She'd never know the difference.
