My favorite Pittsburgh crowd moment is them popping huge for Angle when he said the Steelers suck.
-
They should have gotten Doink to throw the pies.
-
That was a sarcastic pop?
-
Is Cena going to do more moves in this run in than he does in a match?
-
How does Raw suck so hard with a roster so superior to SD's?
-
Who sells a slap from a man? Besides, you know, Jericho (who was koed by one from Cena. Pussy). Couldn't Bisch at least bust out the Housewife-fu?
-
"This guy ran WCW into the ground." I thought it was Bret's fault?
-
Helms is still around?
-
Ironically, enough, that's when I started watching wrestling. Not the best time to start. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You too? I blame HBK and Bret.

Tonight, Conway will be playing catcher.
-
Has anyone mentioned that was a damn good promo by Edge? Matt's dead in the water, I think. That awful promo killed him.
-
Visc eating Chicken Fries?
-
And Masters...to beat him.
-
Outer Heaven?
-
So how long until he records "Hug Da Police?"
-
*Prouder still* Right Now...Cena is hearing the news about HHH's return and thinking "shiiiiiiit, already?"
-
*Proud to be an almost-Pittsburgher*

It is back, along with Lupin. That is if you consider 5:30 in the morning "back" (Lupin at 5). Since when does calling people "fags" = satire?

Well, "horse weiner" probably slipped by them, like the booze in Harvest Moon. ESRB thinks a guy and a girl kissing is a "suggestive theme," BTW. Final Fantasy 1 & 2 Dawn of Souls got an E. Isn't that the same thing as Origins? Anya, you know of any differences between them that would cause the change? Suikoden 1 got a K-A (same thing as an E is now). Death, mature themes, occult out the wazoo? All the other Suikoden games got a T.

I saw this pop up recently, but I'm fairly certain the story is about 7 years old because the mainsteam didn't care one bit. Maybe NASA forgot. EDIT: Apparently I'm not crazy... http://www.captaincomics.us/forums/lofiver...php/t20464.html They've suspected the existance of the tenth planet ever since Pluto was confirmed/discovered. Pluto is just too small to do the weird things that happen to Uranus' orbit. It just takes years to confirm where the darn thing actually is! I know I'm not thinking of Charon either, cuz that's really old news.

If you go back even as recent as the PS1 era, you'll find some ridiculously conflicting ratings/descriptors on games. I mentioned the Turbo Revival E, yet GBA Alpha 3 gets the T rating with the descriptor "Realistic Violence." Tekken Advance has "Mild Animated Violence" (still a T). I thought the blood made the difference, but Comix Zone caused the Sonic Mega Collection + to get the descriptor "animated blood" (the mutants). Yet, fighting games with robots--Tech Romancer, Virtual On, Robo Pit--have T ratings. Strider 2 has an E for "Animated Violence." Shinobi games are all E except for the PS2/Saturn ones for "Animated Violence," even if the animation is fairly realistic and features actual humans getting killed. The Clayfighters get T ratings for "Comic Mischief,Mild Animated Violence" Street Fighter The Movie features "Realistic Violence" while the also-digitized Shinobi Legions has "Animated Violence" (both T). Blackthorne has a Teen rating, while the old 2D Prince of Persias are E. Yet the GBA Sands of Time is T (for "Mild Violence"). Flashback for the Jaguar gets an E while the Mac version gets a T (Both say "Animated Violence"). Robotron X originally got a T rating, but the PC version has an E rating. Supposedly the T was over one level called "Bullet Hell" that was either renamed or the ESRB changed its mind. The ESRB sucks hard. Of course, almost nobody cares about ratings less than M anyway. And lets face it, SA got the AO because they caved in without a fight. Anybody spot any others they'd like to share?

Atomsk: Izzok, seems like you picked my brain and said just about everything I wanted to, anyway.

AR Max can be used to download everything. But you can partially access the content without a net connection, minus the nude skin(s). So yeah, pantomined ploy pr0n among fully clothed characters.

Since we probably have 36 hours to go before Thompson claims there's a sprite hack for Disney's Magical Quest 3 to make it appear that Mickey and Donald are doing the nasty, may as well keep it in one thread. However, since even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while, Thompson's latest scapegoat, Killer 7, really seems to have genuinely been pushing its M. However, ESRB's ratings are looking more and more like they're arbitrary and even less reliable than the MPAA's. Would a movie with Killer 7's content get away with an R or no? Does the 'interactive' element that Mr. Thompson likes to bring into the discussion make any difference whatsover? And how stupid is it that Capcom/SNK fighters and Viewtiful Joe get "T" (13+ ratings) but newer such games aren't considered to be appropriate enough for the newly implemented E-10? Yet, my copy of Super SFII Turbo Revival has an E rating. Does a little spurt of somethat that may represent blood in an ancient sprite-based game that almost no kid is going to touch anyway make all the difference?

I think "making it law" is a bad idea, and the SA controversy had nothing to do with minors allegedly buying the game themselves, but rather it being re-rated over the hidden content. However, certain persons twisted it try to make it appear that way. I see no evidence why self-regulation is a problem, nor do I find it necessary for M-rated games to be treated like booze and porn. AO games already are harder to get than real porn. Plus--this has nothing to do with the rating whatsover, so I'm not following you. They aren't protesting the rating (most certainly an M); they're protesting the game's very existence. You have every legal right to as a parent. Even though he'll probably just chew on the disc.
