I was grossly disapointed with the 11 years of hype when I finally played Sonic CD last summer.

I thought I read something about there being a rumour of a new dub (as you mentioned) but unless I am remembering wrong, I read a post on GameFaqs that not only was there no re-dub, but no dub at all. Maybe I misunderstood something or remembered wrong, or maybe 90% of posters on that site are idiots. Or maybe all of the above.

Legend of the Red Dragon being the game better known as L.O.R.D. on BBS door games? Good memories... I seem to recall reading something about the green dragon reading a LORD wikipedia entry. Maybe I'll check it out. Edit: "The game has spawned an unofficial web based clone called Legend of the Green Dragon, as well as an official sequel and a multiplayer tournament version"

Well with weapons you can come to your own conclusions... 1. They're not good enough for the new batch of robot masters (the typical way of new powers being gained while old ones are forgotten). 2. They take up memory and because they require power-ups to be restored are not worth keeping after peace is restored (because good guys are generally dumb and don't consider that they'll need those powers again). Outside of the whole "good is dumb" thing, I don't see why X would ever get rid of the enhancements from X1 (again, they were supposed to complete his design). But really, it's just a game. In regards to X4, with people mentioning that voice acting is gone, are they refering to the in-level cutscenes? I misunderstood people's whining and thought that through some error the animated scenes had no talking anymore but I was quite happy to see the horrible English voice acting Capcom was good for in the 90s. As bad as the Reploid general sounds (is he supposed to be French?), noting tops Dr. Light ("Dr. Wiwy") from MM8.

Just for the sake of being complete, it would have been nice if they offered two versions of X3, but it doesn't really matter. I just played a bit of all 6 as it has been awhile (and I never played 6 at all). Is there a point to being a non-armoured X in X5? Also, I have to admit that while X5 seems to be the one everyone hates the most, I give it points for the fact you can start with upgrades as opposed to them just vanishing. X1 even states those upgrades were necessary to make X complete, so why the hell does he ditch them before X2?

http://www.clerks2blog.com/teaser/large.html Well technically it's a teaser, my bad.

I went to the local EB and was told they were sold out of the PS2 version and had one lone copy for the Cube. Though I do love Nintendo, I just wasn't up to owning the Cube version of this game so I left. I walked down a few stores and went into Zellers (The CanCon Wal-Mart) and purchased the game. Buying games from department stores feels very weird... getting the clerks attention, having them unlock the cabinet for you, etc. It later dawned on me that of all the games I own (since game specific stores opened in this area in the late the late 90s), this is actually the second game I've purchased from a Zellers/Wal-Mart type deal... the only other one being the first Mega Man collection. It all comes full circle.

I've generally been happy with every Survivor Series and Royal Rumble event since 2001 (2000 for the Rumble) but I'm more or less a mark for those events. My top five... and this is putting minimal thought into it and it could change any day... WrestleMania 17, SummerSlam 2002, WrestleMania 19, Vengeance 2003, and WrestleMania XX.

Wasn't Armageddon also the name of the much rumoured but as of yet unproduced and non-existent MK3 movie?

Did WWE secretly fire Heidenreich and / or is he injured? I found it odd that Animal was in the BR on SmackDown but not John, and now I see this bizarre Hardy/Animal tag team. Even the WWE.com Power 25 has the line "Is Animal ready to prove himself once again as a singles star?". Is the return of "High Voltage" (or whatever character Matt played with a buzzcut and facepaint) upon us?

The old preview hinted that John Cena would be facing reprisals for getting involved at the end of Raw last week (Vince said if he did, he would lost his match at the Rumble). Lately if WWE.com removes something from the preview, it means it will be brought up as a surprise.

Stryker is back? SIGN ME UP! Seriously though, it sounds like a neat concept. I'm sure the game will suck but I'll end up being excited about it.

Sunday night at a SmackDown live event, World Heavyweight Champion Batista injured his triceps in a match against Mark Henry. The extent of the injury is undetermined at this point. WWE.com will have more information on Batista's injury later today. http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/batistainjury Poor guy. I saw this briefly mentioned in a house show report on WWE.com but the writer was unsure if it was legit or not (leaning towards legit). It was probably not a good idea to work on the road while rehabing an injury, although I thought that 6-8 weeks had passed (or was just about to pass) and I recall that being the estimated rehab timeline. Maybe I was thinking of something else though.

Off, yet on, topic, does anyone know if there is still a anything in the works to further the animated Clerks story? I thought I heard at one point that the animated version was going to be Clerks 2, but I guess not.

Double Post

That was one hell of a transcript. "Is Sid coming back?" "I hope not" And Vince loves Cartman and Chef! The part where everything goes down and he rambles to himself is gold, Jerry. Gold!

Edge appears sincerely happy about the situation which is always good. Congrats to him.

Another potential serious WWE injury [email protected] Early reports are that the injury to Batista at today's Smackdown house show in Verona, NY, was a possible torn triceps. We don't have any other details available. The injury appeared to be from landing wrong after Mark Henry jumped on him in their house show main event. The match had to be cut short and when they right to a finish of Henry using the ring bell for a DQ. Batista has suffered at least two torn triceps earlier in his career, and is still recuperating from a torn lat. The full extent of the injury has not been determined and it may not be a tear. We don't know if it is the same arm that has been injured in the past or not.

Actually I forgot all about the Edison and Shalet jokes. Good stuff!

This is what was in the house show report on WO.com: "DUD!!!!! Horrible match with Batista appearing to injure his arm, which led to a bell shot for the finish. Injury happened when Batista was throat first on the second rope and Henry leaped on to him and slid off to the ring floor. Looked planned, but Batista took a weird bump to the apron, which apparently caused it. Crowd booed the hell out of it. Fit Finlay and Ricky Steamboat came down to check on Batista, who was holding his left arm. Batista went to the back as Henry took the heel heat. Batista stormed back to ringside and nailed Henry with the bell, a chair, and! a set of stairs Henry wasn't expecting."

"Shebrew" was fantastic but I thought it was an overall average outing. I was much more impressed with AD this week, but in the grand scheme of the night, even The Simpsons was good. Thumbs up for the January 8th edition of Fox Sunday. Also, while I enjoyed a reference to The Rock... and maybe I'm just getting old and starting down that "let's talk about something on TV and call it offensive" road... but that bit seemed kinda racist, eh? Like, Peter being racist is supposed to be "ok" because he's a retard that doesn't know any better and at times is even gets his in the end (for example, he was kicked in the groin by an angry jew tonight). This seemed to be Don Lafontaine just.. I don't know what.

Hmm... as quickly as it went up, the Edge interview from WWE.com seems to be gone, replaced with the blurb about it being posted later (later being promised as 25 minutes ago). This is what WAS up... http://img250.imageshack.us/my.php?image=e...nterview6fw.jpg And this is where the interview was (and assume where it will show up again): http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/591...rview?section=/

Edge has promised to have hot sex live on Raw in the middle of the ring tomorrow. Wonder what lameass skit WWE has planned for that.

Note that the logo is now an "E". It's a stupid belt and should revert back to the old one, but it's pretty cool that if he wanted, Edge could keep this one and align the logo to be his initial. Edit: Note to self - I is for Italics, not Image.

From the sounds of it Angle cut a promo on the PPV saying he could be a Jesus hating racist who loves France and IRaq and still be cheered, so I guess they are turning him face. His matches with Edge have been good so I like this, if it happens.
