    Edge's Theme..

    I agree that it would, but he never used it as a face. He debuted the song at the November 1st Raw in Peoria, Illinois, which I attended live. It was the one where he plugged his book and basically sat out his and Benoit's tag title defense against La Res, which Benoit lost. I like the song a lot as an entrance theme, but I don't know that it'd hold my interest for a full 3-4 minutes.

    Hogan to return @ Backlash!

    Marty Jannetty? Come on now. I liked seeing him when the Rockers reunited, but it was obvious that they were going to have some sort of Hogan/Hassan match at Backlash after what transpired at WrestleMania. I told RedJed the same thing... Rather than ahving Hogan work WrestleMania, they saved his match to pop a buyrate for Backlash. Backlash is actually shaping up to be a damn good card: Batista vs. HHH HBK and Hogan vs. Hassan and Daivari Shelton benjamin vs. Chris Jericho Chris Benoit vs. Edge

    I forgot Tiger Woods. Sure, a new version will be out in September, but the game is fantastic and it's only $30. Actually, since you don't have Live, you might as well just go for the 2004 version which is almost as good and should be dirt cheap. I hate golf and I love those games. And I completely forgot that the SWT box set had a Battlefront demo. I played the game once when it came out, but I hadn't seen the Star Wars movies yet, and I was drunk so I forgot most of it. I think I'll pop in that demo tonight.

    James and the Giant Peach

    I was on Paxil a few years ago and I had that same problem. Now I'm taking 100 mg of Zoloft a day, and I have had no side effects of the sexual variety.

    Arena League player dies

    I was going to post about this, but then apathy set in. I was actually watching the game live on TV. It's tragic, and certainly unexpected.

    The OAO "Help Broaden My Musical Horizons" Thread

    I've heard the latter two. Czech- Sorry, missed your Smiths mention earlier. I've heard some of that stuff, but not enough to form an opinion. And I don't really want to write teen angst music exactly, but that's what came out during my angsty teen years. Go figure.

    They have shit-tons of those at every game store around here for $5 or less. I'd pick one up if I could find one with a case. The first Jet Grind game was pretty fun on Dreamcast.

    James and the Giant Peach

    Man, you're a fucking pro. I never expected that from you. What you described sounds like the same dosage/effects of my trips back in the day. I'd like to get to the 3rd plateau. On a random note, I've been up all night and I'm about to go smoke some chronic with a crazy Mexican named Alberto. He's some sort of cousin to Veronica. The dude is insane in a hilarious way, and he just spent 2 minutes playing some rap song which sampled the theme from Cheers over the phone while improvising lyrics about smoking weed. I'm scared.

    James and the Giant Peach

    Shrooms are so great. I want to try pure shrooms sometime. The 2 times I tripped (August of 2002 and February 2003- been too long) were with chocolates. The first time, I had about a half of a chocolate with chunks of shrooms inside. Needless to say, I'm unsure of the dosage. I didn't have any mindblowing experiences, but my spinning colored light ball deal entertained me for hours, and my eyes and faces swirled and morphed into something alien when I looked into the mirror. Unlike most people, I love staring into mirrors while tripping. The second time with the chocolates, my friend John got a big batch of shrooms, boiled them down to extract the psilocybin, and then made the chocolates out of that. I got majorly fucked up from that shit. The 2 girls I was tripping with puked- one off of a single chocolate, the other off a half. We took the doses at noon, and I wasn't back at baseline or able to sleep til 4 A.M. I had a badass spraypainted/tie-dye purple and blue pattern on my bedroom walls, too, and that was entertaining for a long time. I wonder if my $5 will buy me some Robotussin Maximum Strength. If I can hold it down, what level trip should I expect? At least, how many milligrams of DXM are in a full bottle? Most cough syrups I encountered, if I remember correctly, contained approximately 33 mg per tablespoon, I believe, but I could be way off.

    Fuck that. I saw Eddie Money in concert about 6 years ago. I got the ticket for free. I felt like I got ripped off. Well, that was until Starship and then Styx performed. They were good for some quality nostalgiac cheesiness. Oh yeah, thanks Czechers.

    XBox

    MVP's by far the best baseball game, but it's twice the price of MLB. MLB's only worth shit for online as far as I'm concerned, though. I should've excluded that when I mentioned the ESPN games. Halo 1 and 2 are fantastic, but not everyone likes the 1 player mode and you're not big on FPS's, so I don't know. Then again, I'm a FPS newbie myself (only owned GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, and the Halos). If you get Live, however, Halo 2 is a must buy. I am 99% sure that the NES Gaidens are unlockable on the Xbox game. The Xbox WWE games, Raw and Raw 2, sucked hard. However, WrestleMania 21 (developed by completely different people than the GC games) has gotten great praise (just ask Spree), it looks amazing, and although this doesn't affect you now, you can wrestle matches and defend belts online. Go to gamingRing.com for videos and all the info you could ever desire.

    James and the Giant Peach

    I've only tripped on DXM a few times, and I just felt really spaced out and stuff got distorted. I expected a lot more after reading up on Erowid. I haven't done any of that in a couple years, but maybe II'd try it again. What's a good, cheap source of DXM (preferably not cough syrup if at all possible) that will get me a good, strong trip? Shrooms won't be around for a few more weeks and I have never found acid in all my years of searching, so why the fuck not try robo-trippin' again? Also, I saw that James and the Giant Peach was on HBO2. I taped it for future stoned viewing. Seems like more of a stoned movie than a drunk movie, and those are my only intoxication options available.

    X-Men Legends was a good pick-up. I still haven't opened KOTOR. All the ESPN sports games are good. They're better online, but very fun on single player as well and they're only $15-20 each. WrestleMania 21 is coming out next week. Definitely get the GTA Double Pack if you haven't already beaten GTA 3 and Vice City. Really, I can't help much other than that. I just got my Xbox in November, I don't rent much, and I got most of my Xbox games specifically with online play in mind since I have plenty of great single player games on GameCube. As for Star Wars, the Lego Star Wars game seems quite charming and has received good reviews. The only drawback is its extreme brevity. The Episode III game is coming out on May 5th.

    The OAO "Help Broaden My Musical Horizons" Thread

    I like what jazz I have heard (on digital music channels... don't know many artists) and you're a jazz musician, correct? Feel free to contribute. Also, I still have ChicagoLoop709 or whatever the numbers are on my AIM buddy list from a year ago.

    The OAO "Help Broaden My Musical Horizons" Thread

    Thanks. I have a feeling that the Journey thing is a joke, but they're not half bad for what they are. I like Ravi Shankar and Frank Zappa from what I've heard. The others... no clue, which is what I wanted. New stuff. Also, for the metalheads and maybe some others- I love a good heavy song, but I can't stand constant growling and no melody. The songs have to have some sort of melody, and for metal, at least alternate between growling and actual singing. At least, that's how I feel based on everything I've heard up to this point.

    The New Me..

    I don't know about long term health, but diet soda's fine for keeping weight off. I always drank a ton of soda, at least 6 cans a day (in addition to sugary tea and kool-aid) and whenever I go without caffeine to this day, I get tired and have headaches. Ever since I started losing weight 2 years ago (doesn't seem like that long) I've increased my average level of soda consumption, sometimes drinking a whole 12 pack in a day. Diet Cherry Coke and Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper are very good, and all diet sodas that I know of contain 0 calories and no sugar. Drink up and be merry.

    OaO Baseball Tonight Sucks Thread

    I haven't seen baseball tonight this season, but I know Bowling For Soup are Red Sox fans. There's a page in the latest EGM talking about how they did the theme for Nintendo's upcoming Pennant Chase Baseball, and when I met the band at the Warped Tour last year (they looked lonely) the really fat guitarist had a BoSox jersey on.

    So you register, wait 9 months to post, and your first post is only a picture that doesn't make any sense in the context of the thread. Hmm. Careful. I try to maintain a certain standard of suckiness around here. Don't set the bar too low for me.

    I haven't located that stuff on GameFAQs yet, but Scroby, the 18th is a Monday and the 20th is a Wednesday.

    WWE Wrestlemania 21

    I haven't seen a move list, but rather only a list of Superstars' stats such as overall ranking, stamina, endurance, strength, etc. Garrison Cade is rated lower than half the women, lol. Nidia's the lowest rated overall in the game with a 33, I believe. I'm assuming the person who posted that info got it from a player's guide, so maybe there's one out there with moves and all. I'll head over to GameFAQs now and see if I can locate the stats for posting.

    WWE Wrestlemania 21

    GameFAQs and EB Games are now reporting that April 20th is the ship/release date. There's no word from GamingRing as of yet, as far as I know, but the page won't load and I haven't seen Mike Regan on AIM.
