God dammit. I saw that sale mentioned on CheapAssGamer, but now that it is on Fatwallet, the fucks from there will hoard all the good shit. My last couple good deals: - 8 Greatest Hits/Platinum Hits games for $5 each, brand new, at Circuit City due to a computer glitch. I traded in some for $20 store credit per game later and kept the rest - GameRush had a deal where you could trade 3 games and get any pre-owned game for $5. The credit from the 3 games also went toward the purchase. I got Jade Empire and Psychonauts for practically nothing by trading in 6 old EA Sports games that cost me $2 a piece.

Damn right, even after the exchange rate. I visited Toronto a week after my 19th birthday (legal drinking age in Ontario) and beer and liquor were ridiculously expensive. I had to settle for red wine to get wasted affordably. Back on topic, I have always been a hard liquor guy. I hate the taste of most liquors, but fuck it, it gets me drunk and doesn't leave me bloated like beer. But recently, I have been going to a pizza place/bar, Papa Joe's, with some friends. On Wednesday nights, they have 40% off everything, so pitchers of domestic beer are a mere $4.50. Budweiser from the tap is actually ridiculously delicious.

I responded to your IM when I got back to my computer, about 15 minutes after you sent it, but no answer.

So do I. I used to be obsessed with the game, but now it's probably my #3 sport behind baseball and football. It wasn't the lockout, either... I loved the concept of a 50 game season. Even though my Bulls had broken up, I still loved the game. The year after that was good, too, since I am a Phil Jackson mark and I loved both Shaq and Kobe and had been following the Lakers (wouldn't call myself a "fan" but I supported them) since Magic Johnson made his comeback years earlier. After that, even though LA kept wining and Minnesota was playing well, I just didn't enjoy actually watching the games much anymore, although I'd always follow the results online and watch SportsCenter or ESPNews.

Really? Every review I have read (a whopping 3) has said it's far more complicated than Dance Dance. EDIT: Never mind... I was thinking of In The Groove.

My girlfriend left this morning with her family to go visit her grandparents at their home in Mexico. She won't be back til tomorrow night, and I'm way too partied out from this week's activities, so I am staying home. Somebody play me on Xbox Live, please.... My Live games: Halo 2 Forza Motorsport WWE WrestleMania 21 ESPN NBA 2K5 ESPN NFL 2K5 MVP Baseball 2005 Crimson Skies NCAA Football 2005 Top Spin Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 Ultra Bust-A-Move Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 Gamertag: MattYoung Reply here or contact me on Live if you're interested. I'm up for anything, and some of those games I haven't even played on Live yet, so I probably should try 'em.

I have always really loved Yoshi's Story for N64, and I also have enjoyed many "crappy" wrestling games, such as WrestleMania 21 and WCW Mayhem. I know I enjoyed many rehashed 2D side scrolling beat em up games on 8 and 16 bit systems, but I can't think of any specific names right now.

I wasn't sure if it would be streaming live or if it would be available for access anytime. I guess I'll just have to wait. Thanks for the help.

The Cubs are inferior to the White Sox. I love the Cubs, but I've always been a Sox fan first, so it's good to see them doing well rather than being on the verge of a complete collapse/trading away of all their good players heading into July.

Supposedly, Impact is supposed to air on tnawrestling.com. However, I visited the site, and there is no way that I have seen to view the show. Am I just missing something obvious, or what?

I just have a basic pair of black Vans with white trim. I had s imilar pair for 2 years, then I've had these for a year. I couldn't tell you their official name, honestly. I used to always get the coolest looking basketball shoes up through late high school, but then I realized (A) I suck at basketball, (B) I'm not a fanatic like I used to be, and © Spending $150 on a pair of shoes just for style purposes is stupid unless you're rich.

Randy Brown, Dickey Simpkins... shit, a lot of the players from the Bulls' second three-peat.

All I have to say is, thank God the Pistons didn't win. The last 3 games were shockingly great, and I actually got into the series despite not liking either team. Congratulations to the Spurs. As I said, I don't like the team, but I've always been a big fan of Tim Duncan and Robert Horry, so I'm happy to see them get their 3rd and 6th rings, respectively.

Applebees' Cowboy Burger is fantastic. Big beef pattie, barbecue sauce, onion petals, cheese.... It's like Burger King's old Rodeo Burger, but better. McDonald's- Big n Tasty, Big Mac, Double Quarter Pounder w/cheese are all good Burger King- Whopper with bacon\ Jack in the Box- Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger Farmer Boys has some great burgers, too. Also, most places have at least one great chicken sandwich, even though they're not technically burgers.

Hmm... I'll have to check the ticket. I thought the show was starting at 4:30, which would be the Smackdown taping since Velocity and Heat will be recorded. However, I could be mistaken.

I had mine removed a few years ago, and even Vicodin couldn't completely numb the pain. Of course, I had 2 "dry sockets" as they call them, which in addition to burning horribly, had to be treated by being stuffed with some of the foulest tasting shit known to mankind.

Oh shit, now the original Batman movie (well, the 1989 version) is on. Believe it or not, this is the only one in the series I have NOT seen other than Begins.

Batman Forever is on TNT right now.

Next week's Raw and Smackdown will both be taped next Monday night in Anaheim, California: A Raw/Smackdown "supershow. Each brand will reveal their final 2 draft picks that night. Since Smackdown is being taped prior to Raw, how will they deal with the draft situation? I'll be there live, so I'm even more interested than I would normally be. Is anyone else going?

Great main event. I'm wondering how things will work next week, though, with Smackdown being taped before Raw on Monday, and 2 draft picks being announced per show. I'll be at that supershow live in Anaheim.

Pretty entertaining first half. I missed the first 4 games since I didn't give a shit about the series and it turned out to suck just as I predicted (first Finals I've missed since I believe 1992, when I didn't watch regularly). Then, after seeing the end of Game 5, there was no way I could miss this, and things have been exciting so far. Even though I hate the Pistons, I hope they push the series to 7 games before San Antonio wins. I don't particularly care for the Spurs, either, but I've been a Tim Duncan fan since he was at Wake Forest.

Eh.... ESPNews, SportsCenter, Around the Horn, and Pardon the Interruption are still essential viewing.

Get a DS with a free copy of Super Mario 64 DS. It's well worth the $150, and the DS has a ton of good games coming out soon, which I got to play at E3.

I live in Moreno Valley, just outside of Riverside. I'm not sure what hapepned with the kidnapping/car chase. I was told about it, but I haven't watched the news. I doubt it's as entertaining as the chase from a week or so ago where the driver drove on the wrong side of the road for no reason and ended up crashing into a garage at the end of a cul de sac.

According to HartFan86, this quake registered at 5.3 on the Richter scale.
