Matt Young

For some reason, I don't rent games anymore. I'll pick up one a month with my free rental cards for each month at Hollywood Video, which I got from buying my Xbox at GameCrazy. But for some reason, I don't play games that I rent very much. I guess part of me is afraid I'll enjoy it, get halfway through it, and have to take it back, thus tainting the experience if I buy the game. However, this GameFly deal is nice because I can try out games I'm iffy on, such as Doom 3, Unreal Championship 2, and Jade Empire. Also, I can probably complete the short games and then, if they're really good, buy them later on when the price drops (I.E. Jade Empire again, Star Wars: Republic Commando, Lego Star Wars). Too bad the mailman doesn't bring the mail to our front door, though, so I can't imitate the commercial.

I have a great idea: Only run ads for the show.... during the show!

It says 2-4 days for me, and they ship from Inglewood, so it'll probably be closer to 2 days than 4.

That somewhat answers a question for me, and brings back a memory of an event that no one is likely to recall. I remember back when Flair was leading the short-lived Magnificent Seven group, it was shortly after Sin 2001 and Flair came out (I believe he was commissioner or president) to announce Scott Steiner's opponent for the World Title match at SuperBrawl Revenge. The man Flair announced? "The great German competitor... ALEX WRIGHT!!!" *Flair dances* Then Kevin Nash came out and jack-knifed Wright off the stage. I guess that was a rib on Flair's backing of Wright as a potential Horseman member.

How about we don't?

No, it wasn't. Foley said so much in his first book. I'll try to find the exact quote, since I have my wrestling book collection right next to me. The fall through the cage was planned in his match with Triple H at No Way Out 2000, but not in the match with Undertaker at King of the Ring 1998.

In addition to the blank screen issue, up until a few minutes ago, the main site would work, but the forum link would take me to a page with a message board that was in some foreign language. That lasted for maybe 20 minutes.

I'm looking to replace my stolen N64 games and maybe get one or two I never owned. The sports and wrestling games which comprised half of my collection can be replaced cheaply anytime, so these are the titles I'm looking for now: 1. Zelda: OoT gold cart 2. Zelda: Majora's Mask gold cart 3. Paper Mario 4. GoldenEye 007 5. Perfect Dark 6. Conker's Bad Fur Day 7. Super Mario 64 8. Star Fox 64 9. Yoshi's Story 10. Resident Evil 2 11. Diddy Kong Racing 12. Donkey Kong 64 13. Mario Kart 64 14. Mario Party 1, 2, or 3 15. Super Smash Bros. 16. Harvest Moon 64 17. Mischief Makers 18. Jet Force Gemini 19. Kirby 64 Also, there are many Super NES and PS1 RPGs I'd like to get my hands on (I'd only want the PS1 games if they had a case included, though). I realize that the majority of those are likely gone if they were even at your store in the first place, but hey, it's worth a shot. And I know those add up to way more than the value of the gift card, but I figured I'd list everything to see how many of the games you might have available. Thanks for offering your assistance.

Where exactly in SoCal are you from? I live in Moreno Valley/Riverside. Also, if anyone who gets in on this sale can pick up some games for me, maybe we can work out a deal where I can get you a new game (or other item) from Wal-Mart with my gift card and we can trade. I have $53.79 on the card, exactly enough for a $49.99 game plus tax.

It's fucking hard to find a non-fast food job in Southern California. You live down here, so it seems like we have a similar problem.

LMAO.... That was actually released? Wow.

God forbid you don't wear your pants around your knees, speak in ebonics, and bust caps in cracka ass foos... Come on Lushus, get with the program!

It would be stupid to run against WWE at this point. I really like TNA, but even I wouldn't watch one of their shows over Raw. If they could manage to get on Monday nights before Raw, however, that'd be wonderful.

I have some of my own, but most were from childhood, so I'll have to think of them. I'm not fully awake yet. I want to add one that a friend has, though. TSM poster LJSexay and I had known each other online since 2000. When I moved out to California, I discovered that I was 5 miles from his school. We met up at the university village and got something to eat. Luis got some fries, and I looked on in astonishment as he took each individual fry, squeezed a thin line of ketchup onto it, ate it, and repeated. I had never seen anyone do that before. EDIT: The only ones of mine I can think of right now (I used to have a lot) are that, when eating chili, I always eat the ebans first and save the meat for last. At burger and fry places, I always eat the fries first and burger last.

Well, to be honest, I've met plenty of African-Americans and hispanics who do fit such stereotypes, and those are probably the ones who buy the stuff. But the majority of my black and hispanic friends are articulate and intelligent, the way you are, and if I'm offended by this stuff when I'm white, I can only imagine how people of other races must feel about the way their cultures are being depicted.

These things are just furthering inaccurate stereotypes and are a disgrace to intelligent minorities everywhere. Just stating the obvious.

I was just coming here to post about this. I read the story upon awakening today, and I was and still am shocked. This was totally unexpected. Seeing as how Lance Storm is one of my favorite wrestlers, I became a big fan of Candido's during his ECW days. I was also really enjoying his work in TNA. It's horrible to see this happen. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to overcome an addiction, and Chris managed to do that while being part of a business and engaging in a lifestyle that makes it difficult to conquer such problems. Now he's dead at age 33 over something like this.

Indeed. I am perpetually broke. And no, whoever the fuck it is that responds to every post of mine with the phrase, don't tell me to "Get. A. Job." I've been applying for a while now. :-P

That was fast. But damn... I can't believe I didn't realize that. I own the fucking DVD. Thanks, though.

But see, the Live patch also fixed the majority of the problems the game had offline. It makes a big difference. Then again, I liked the game even before the patch was released. It seems to be one of those "love it or hate it" types of games.

Crazy... I figured those were cheap normally. The Sonic game is only $15 for the GameCube version.

Do those even cost $5 a piece normally?

That's pretty much exactly how I have felt. I was super pissed when he won the belt, as I never liked Bradshaw, even in the APA. I somewhat enjoyed him before SS, but after Booker lost, I started to actually buy JBL as a main eventer and, later, championship material. On the other hand, I used to be a big Cena fan, ever since his Prototype days, but he's been so stale as of late that I wanted JBL to hold onto the title. I cheered for Cena at WM21 though, just because I thought it would be cool to see a guy I was a fan of win his first WWE Championship while I was there in the crowd.

Exactly. Matt is a big boy, and he can be professional about it. If this happened in any other line of work, he could've sued the shit out of them for wrongful termination, so the least Vince can do is hire him back. If we were really lucky and Edge and Matt could avoid stiffing the ever-loving fuck out of each other, they would have a great feud on their hands. Otherwise, Matt could go to SD and still get a great reception and he'd be a perfect candidate to take the US Title off Orlando Jordan. I just want Matt back. My favorite male wrestler, Matt, and my favorite female, Molly, were each released within days, and I'm still in mourning.

Now, the only way for Sony to reclaim the top spot is if they put out a killer horse racing sim or mahjong title.
