When you put it that way, it is kind of funny. But I didn't find out the games were gone until we were separated and I moved to California. Besides, there were 30 or so games which I spent several thousand dollars on over the years.

A friend of mine from New Midwest Wrestling goes by the ring name "Shane Matthews" as well. He doesn't look as gay as the guy whose pic John posted.

Has anyone played this? It's been out for a while for PS2, but the Xbox version was just released with online play. That's the version I have, but I haven't taken it online yet since I realized my SF skills from 10-12 years ago have eroded greatly and I kind of suck now. It's really a fun game, though, despite the fact that it's ridiculously hard. For $30, you get Street Fighter III: Third Strike and Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting: The Anniversary Edition, a "new" game combining SFII, SFII Turbo (SNES), SFII Champion Edition (Genesis), and Super SFII into one package. You also get the Street Fighter anime movie, which is pretty badass. So, is anyone playing? - Matt Young: Training so I can whip your ass with Chun-Li.

I can probably get a picture of my sister for you guys if you really want one. All I have to do is snap a quick shot with the digital camera if/when she comes home or I can find an older one if she doesn't return.

I thought I was Kotz's gimmick account... Then again, I also thought Czech was 25.

No. My sister should aspire to be more like you. From the little bit I've gathered about you from your posts here, you're far more sensible and mature than she and most girls of that age are. Plus Canadians are the shit. I grew up wanting to be Canadian because of Bret Hart. That was off-topic and a little weird, but yeah. Seriously... stealing, repeatedly lying to friends and family, sometimes for no apparent reason, fucking random guys who are pushing 30, doing coke and other drugs... All of that is pretty stupid and disgusting, but these girls can at least wait until they're adults before making stupid decisions. As heartless as I may sound, and as much as I dislike my sister a lot of the time (and although I do take some satisfaction in the fact that she now has to suffer like the rest of us) I wouldn't be so upset if I didn't care about her.

My sister is tall and skinny, but she has dark hair and freckles. None of the rest of my family looks like any of the Bundys, sadly. EDIT: Damn, Czech. All this time I thought you were some husky 25 year old guy, and now I find out you're actually 2 years younger than me. Crazy.

Heh, actually, Slayer... I... well, never mind. Baisden, if only you knew how my sister was and how many people she's hurt, lied to, and stolen from... If only you knew. I would never have wished pregnancy on her, but I'm surprised it took this long considering how many guys she's had sex with (and that's just the ones I know of).

My 17 year old sister, Kristine, has been back in California for 2 weeks. She has already gotten into a good amount of trouble, but this tops it all. Just 32 days before her 18th birthday, thereby falling within the period of time most experts predicted, she has become pregnant. She also was discovered to have stolen our mother's debit card and used it, and charges will likely be pressed. Some of you may recall that this is the same girl who stole and sold my entire Nintendo 64 game collection while I was living in Illinois with my then-fiancee and a lot of my possessions were still here in Cali. That bitch had it coming.

Yeah, MLB 2K5 is out for Xbox and PS2.

If anyone wants a copy of MLB 2K5 for the Xbox, I'll trade it for an Xbox copy of Tiger Woods 2005.

It's funny because he's an ordained minister. Are you still into researching religion and stuff? I've been waiting for your book for years now. I didn't mean any of that to sound sarcastic or condescending, either. I really am interested. At any rate, I was raised Christian and I still believe in God, but the original poster's friend is definitely wacko.

I wished her a happy birthday in her driving test thread since I figured I wasn't the right person to be starting a thread seeing as how I don't know her, but happy birthday to you again, wjm.

Actually, yes, it was clean. Evolution interfered in the rematch the next night, but not at SummerSlam.

Nope. It's $19.99 at Best Buy. They'd likely do a price match, though. EDIT: After further research, supposedly Best Buy will do a 110% price match on anything in Circuit City's ad, so you'd get the game for $15 plus an extra 10% off ($1.50 basically). Circuit City will have their ad on their website this weekend, so you'd just need to print out the page with MLB on it and take that to BB for the price match.

Are you using FireFox as your browser, Rendclaw? I get that same problem at times. It's not just with the team flags like I have in my sig, but rather with many sig images as well as non-signature images. Sometimes they show up, but sometimes it simply says "user posted image." For example, the flags in VX's sig show up for me now, but yours says "user posted image." I'd like to know why this is the case myself. EDIT: Ah, I just noticed what The Max said. It's true, you do have one too many http's in the image URL you entered into your sig. Regardless, what I said still holds true. Can anyone explain?

Definitely. MVP's better overall period, so even factoring in online play, I'd go with MVP if I had to choose one. MLB 2K5 is better as far as online play, presentation, and extras (Skybox stuff) go, and it is a fun game in its own right, but MVP is the better game in most respects as far as I am concerned. That's coming from a guy who prefers the 2K sports games to EA's 9 times out of 10. Still, there's no accounting for taste. It seems that just as many people prefer MLB as do MVP. If you only plan on buying one game, I'd suggest renting them first. That way, you won't end up regretting your decision. Also, for anyone who plans on picking up MLB 2K5, it'll be on sale for $14.99 beginning Sunday at Circuit City.

Yeah, I got the game, too, and we've discussed it in the MLB vs. MVP thread. I'll probably continue discussing the game in that thread, just so you know. That one will stay bumped. If you want to play online, my GT is MattYoung. EDIT: I forgot to mention this: For those of you who want to purchase this game but haven't done so yet, it'll be on sale for $14.99 starting Sunday at Circuit City. I should've waited a few more days.

So does anybody play either game on Xbox Live? I definitely prefer 2K5 online (although MVP's better overall), and the game's growing on me as far as offline paly goes as well. I can't believe I despised MLB so much at first. It's good, just not MVP good. P.S. I hate SlamZone.

What the f happened to them? I have their 2nd cd somewhere They split up. Some of the members went on to form Sparta, while the lead singer (and maybe another member or two) created The Mars Volta. The Mars Volta's new CD, Frances the Mute, is on sale for $6.99 this week at Best Buy. I got it and it's pretty good. I'd recommend picking it up. As for Elvis, I was not a fan until I went to Graceland and saw everything there, heard a lot of his songs, etc. I now enjoy Elvis. Some rock bands I like (although there are many more): The Doors Green Day Metallica Nirvana Stone Temple Pilots Led Zeppelin Allman Brothers Band Days of the New Lynyrd Skynyrd Guns N Roses Black Sabbath The Ramones

Sieg heil, I guess. As for the mention of an Ashlee thread, there were a couple in here including one regarding the Orange Bowl, but I'm not sure which one he was referring to. I started a thread about the TV show in the Movies/TV folder. I actually talk about Ashlee less often than a lot of people on here seem to.

Congratulations, and happy 18th birthday.

So I got MLB 2K5. I played a couple of games and I hated it. I mean, it was less enjoyable than getting raped up the ass with a razor sharp dick while doing calculus homework. It induced a headache. I could barely finish a game, it was so bad. It made me long for the days of Mike Piazza's Strike Zone on the N64. However, once I got used to things, the game is alright. It's not as good as MVP, the animations and camera suck, and the pitching and batting systems are flawed, but it's a fun, above average game. Worth $20, but nowhere near the quality of 2K Sports' basketball and football games. I took the game online and lost 4-1 to the Giants (although the loss appears on my games history, it didn't appear on my record... weird). The online play was really fun and was a lot smoother than EA's online play. It was actually just as smooth as playing offline. So even if I don't do a franchise on MLB 2K5, I can at least enjoy some fine Xbox Live action and maybe join a league. I only hope that 2K Sports improves the overall game by next year to complement the awesome online play.
