The second Murdoch tells Hurricane to "Squeal like a pig, boy!" I'm turning the channel. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If I see a bucket of pig slop...I'm marking out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nah... we need the branding iron back so they can brand opponents. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Too bad it would be an obvious bingo stamper.

"Hurricane and Rosey must be nervous backstage, their pop just got traded." Gotta get those titles ready for Cade and Murdoch.

NOOO! I liked Super Stacy. ;_; <{POST_SNAPBACK}> She couldn't replace Molly...but she took a good bump.

I still don't know Brunette Bitch Lesbian is.

So, she's going to go from the female Goldberg to the female HHH?

Heel Torrie--well, it beats her vomit-worthy face character she's had for almost her entire damn career.

Noble's WV trailer trash. Totally different.

WTF? A Slim Jim commercial with a mutant flyman and some guy taking a sick bump. Yah, Lance/Garrison Cade is back...with a Larry the Cable Guy wannabe--"Murdoch" can't be related to... DAMNIT!! TORRIE ON RAW?!?

Maybe he can pull a gun on one of the ICP?

Carlito Caribbean Classic? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Chavo Classic--that's what the Rey/Eddie angle is missing. Well, that, an interesting storyline, better acting, a likeable face, etc.

Oh good--maybe this isn't a feud, just something for this one show. I was expecting Snitsky to discover that Show's secret fetish is choking his lovers.

I don't give WWE writers that much credit.

Why the hell is there an ICP sign in the crowd?

This is quite the predictable Raw. ...well, match-wise.

It's all downhill from here, Matt.

So, what--2 or 3 weeks until Show downs a few roofie coladas?

Maria!

Good little match, although my instincts tell me Raw's officially peaked for tonight.

Rebel Unit vs. Coq Roq--who wins?

Ray Charles' corpse is betting on Angle to win.

BK CHIKN FRIEZ ROQS UR COQ!

I'm pretty sure there's already been some "you're fired" match before. And I'm not thinking of the Pinkslip on a Pole, either.

Luchadores on Raw.... Oh wait, that's Mucha Lucha. HBK in the pink...peach...whatever dress shirt.

Sonic Spinball says hello. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spinball isn't that bad, just insanely unbalanced and tedious. Blast GG has simple things like hit detection completely screwed up. I could never beat The Machine. I liked Spinball a lot and played the heck out of it when it came out new. The GG version though...well...it's a blurry, uglier version of Spinball. Nothing more, nothing less. I was surprised R was decent. However, I'm also aware that the PC version was upgraded, and it really shows. It seems to take advantage of the C-stick (I know the original R was compatible with the analog pad; I think some of the bad reviews that mentioned the controls may have only used the D-pad) and feels pretty good. Kind of clunky in places (just try turning around from a stop), but a pleasant surprise. StF is pretty much what I expected it to be--Sonic in the Fighting Vipers engine. That's pretty much exactly what it plays like, and the rubbery effects when the characters attack/get attacked are really cool.

Are those any good? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The games themselves or the port jobs? Fatal Fury 3 was fair to middling when it came out, so by today's standards it's totally boring and vanilla. I had gotten the import Saturn version as part of a lot once before. It looks alright as a port. SamSho2 is damn fun, if a bit dated. I haven't played too much of it since I misplaced my controller. Vs. the arcade it looks a tad framey, but is still leaps and bounds better than the 16 bit SamSho1, so I'm pleased. They were together as a double pack. They're "Windows 95/98" compatible, so I haven't tried them on my XP computer yet, just the older 98 SE computer I use for my older games that are difficult/impossible to find on other consoles. I'll find out if it works on XP soon. EDIT: Works fine on XP. Long way away, though.
