Matt Young

Dama- It's hard to recommend games when I don't know what systems you have. Obviously, you have a PS2, and I believe you've stated taht you own an Xbox, but that's all I know of at this point.

I've heard of this, but I know very little about it. I'll go research the game on GameFAQs now, but please tell me more. I've just finished the first disc of Tales of Symphonia and should be done with the game soon (the second disc is a lot shorter) and it's one of my favorite games. I'd love to play something else in the series during the 10 months I have until Tales of Legendia is released over here.

I'll be getting the game as soon as the GameRush in Moreno Valley gets it in (I usually go to gameCrazy, but I took advantage of the trade in 2 games, get a pre-order for $30 offer). My Gamertag is MattYoung. For the league, we definitely need a heavyweight title and tag title, if available. I think we should decide on the number of titles after we see how many people are joining. About the fed... Who's going in charge? How often would we have shows? Would we try to do all matches on the same night, or just over the course of the week? I think we need to decide on all that soon and get things organized.

Gah... First, the Timberwolves have a terrible season the eyar after making it out of the first round for the first time, and now the excitement over the Bulls heading into the playoffs for the first time in 7 years is almost ruined because 2 starters, Luol deng and leading scorer Eddie Curry, are out for the year. Fuck.

I'm failry certain that's what he meant. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer.

I posted this in the wrong thread earlier: Make one of the low-level titles "Tatanka's Bloody Asshole", just because. That's going to be one of those things that's only funny to me since I'm severely sleep deprived.

Oops, yeah. Sleep deprivation.

Some people got it yesterday, but still, far from "a while." I'd like to hear opinions on it from people here who get the game.

EDIT: Wrong thread.

All right... If you ever do want the trial code, just let me know. Then again, by that time, you may have already purchased another game with a trial code. They've got a batch of newer codes in recently released games such as Doom 3.

I was wondering about that myself. Also, I throw my support to Kotz.

Ha... You're going to end up like me, getting nearly 20 Xbox games within months of purchasing the system and still having several unopened/unplayed titles while at the same time buying more. Then again, you won't be spending dozens upon dozens of your gaming hours on Xbox Live, so maybe not. Also, between all the Star Wars hype for Episode III, the long running KOTOR II thread, re-watching the Trilogy DVDs (I've only watched the movies 2 or 3 times, ever) and now your post, I'm sooooo tempted to open KOTOR... But I have so many games I've started and haven't finished, including 3 or 4 other RPGs. Decisions, decisions... Oh shit, I almost forgot. Do you have broadband, Lushus? If so, I have a free 2 month trial for Xbox Live that I will give you. It expired on 3/31, but according to people I've talked to, I can call Microsoft, telling them I just got the game that included the trial, give them the expired code, and they'll give me a new one. If that's the case, it's all yours. You won't be able to talk to anyone unless you buy a headset (or just get a starter kit and extend your subscription with that) but you can at least try out your Live enabled games. I know you have at least one- MLB 2K5.

Tales of Legendia to be released in North America for PS2 I didn't copy and paste the article because I couldn't highlight the text properly for some reason. This is great news for me. I love Tales of Symphonia, which was released last July for the GameCube, so it's cool to know that another game in the series will be making it over here. Speaking of Tales of Symphonia, I got the game when it was released in mid-July. I pre-ordered it at Best Buy just because I thought it looked cool. I knew next to nothing about the game, and it had been delayed for over a year, but my interest in anime and RPGs was peaking, and the game seemed to combine the two into a tight little package. I didn't have internet access at the time the game was released, but I checked and there was never a thread posted here about it. I figured I might as well include discussion in here rather than start 2 separate threads. In short, ToS is brilliant. I've played games for a long time, but ToS is one of the few RPGs I've owned, and it's probably one of my all-time favorite games. Thing is, though, I haven't finished it, even after 9 months. I'd play for hours at a time, but sometimes I'd get stuck and leave the game for a couple weeks at a time due to playing other games, going out, working, etc. I had about 38 hours put in before I moved in November, and I hadn't played the game since then fue to acquiring an Xbox and a bunch of games for that system. I picked the game up again tonight and loved it just as much as before, and I played for 3 and a half hours, unlocking the final 2 seals and FINALLY finishing Disc 1 after 41 hours and 29 minutes. The game box promises 80 hours of gameplay, but that's likely only if one were to collect everything. As I said, I just started Disc 2, and judging from a list of chapters on GameFAQs, Disc 2 is much shorter than Disc 1. Maybe I'll actually finish the game soon! Anyway, discussion is open for Tales of Symphonia and the upcoming Tales of Legendia. Tales of Eternia is also scheduled for release for the PSP, but I don't know anything about that game yet.

The Cheap Ass Gamer forums have the best one. Any time you type the word "fuck", it's replaced with "shaq-fu." Actually, now that they've upgraded the boards, it replaces fuck with the Shaq-Fu logo. And I know, because I say "fuck" a lot.

Hmm. I thought Chavo was out for a few more weeks with his injury, and that Shannon would be out for a while after his car wreck. At any rate, it's nice to see them back. I just hope Shannon doesn't get fired tomorrow.

IGN vastly overrates games quite often. Gamespot's much more reliable as far as I'm concerned. However, I believe that if you are going to let a review dictate a game purchase, you should make that judgment based on the content of the review rather than the final score.

I really want to get this game for online co-op. I heard that the versus modes weren't all that spectacular, but being able to team up with a friend on Xbox Live to tackle the campaign mode would be worth the $50 alone if the game was good, which everyone seems to agree that it is.

Seven. Edge and Jeff 'Unover' Jarrett held the previous record of 6, and maybe RVD, too. I can't remember if he had 5 or 6 reigns. Then again, he can't remember either.

Yep.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
