Matt Young

I've been smoking Newport 100s for almost 2 years now. I only smoke about 3-4 a day unless I'm really stressed, although the number does increase exponentially when I'm drinking or smoking weed.

I was hoping for a fighting game. That would've been amazing. This looks very interesting, however. It could be very good if done right, but it also could be a disaster. I'm optimistic, though, until I see evidence that it will suck.

Apparently you forgot since I remember you responding to my promo roleplay afterwards. I remember a lot of pointless shit. I don't blame you for blocking that out of your mind. Hard to believe it's been about 5 years... So... anyone want the Ric Flair Collection?

I saw this mentioned on WrestleCrap yesterday. That's a lot of money for something that stupid. It would be kind of cool to own, though, especially since that show was my first ever live Raw.

I'm not sure exactly how this works, but I've seen people psoting about being able to view PPVs online for free at different points in time. Does anyone know if there will be a free web feed of the Rumble anywhere? I have a decent connection now and I'd like to be able to see the show despite not having an extra $35.

What he said. I've been a fan of Sosa in the past, but everyone knows abou his problems from the past few seasons. If he is indeed gone, whatever run production the Cubs lose will be made up for by the much improved morale in the clubhouse.

Well at least it wasn't you...

Hey, the match where I beat you for the title despite never roleplaying prior to the bout (hooray for nepotism!) went at least an hour, and you lost both eyes to a staple gun. That was some classic shit.

I'd gladly swap it for a "Best of Angle in TFW" comp.

My former "friend" (aka really annoying pseudo-intellectual dickwad acquaintance who wouldn't leave me alone) had George's infamous answering machine song on his cell phone voice mail, with the only change being that the guy recorded himself stating his name over Geroge's. God, that was annoying. Good thing I only called him when I needed alcohol or a ride to the local wrestling shows. I also hate when people play 2 minutes of a song I do not wish to hear as their message. They don't even say anything... It's just 2 minutes straight of some really shitty music.

Me, after hearing about her death?

I have always watched or taped every show since like 1991. As far as PPV's, I never had the cash to order them, but I got a bunch of free PPV's through my shitty rural cable company from 1997-2000 and then I'd either go to Hooters or throw in $5 to order the shows every month at friends' houses from 2003-2004. Now that I've moved, I no longer see the PPVs live. I've considered ordering every one, but I decided against it since the shows are available on DVD within a month of airing for $15 less than the PPV price, and now with DSL I can download them once I find a site that offers the shows.

Yeah, that's why I figured they changed it. Lance Hoyt sounds terrible, though.

Yeah, we should definitely play. I unfortunately did not see this post until after you had gone to work. I lost another 4 point heartbreaker today. I'll spare you most of the PBP from the beginning since it was just a few basic drives and a big pass play for a TD on each end. Basically, I scored first, then the other guy (Bengals) went up 14-7. I tied the game, but then he got a TD and a FG to take a 24-14 lead at the half. He got the ball on the 2nd half kickoff and drove the length of the field. I figured I was doomed, but I stopped him at 4th & goal from the 1 and forced Kittna to fumble. On the ensuing play, Ahman Green broke out a huge run to reach midfield. Early in the 4th, I capped off the drive with a rushing TD from Green to make it 24-21 Bengals. On the next drive, about 3 plays in, Kittna threw an interception to Sharper. I was on, I believe, the 35 of Cincinnati. I was stopped but got a quick field goal to tie it up at 24. After a run for a first down and a couple more short runs to kill time, Kittna tossed another INT. I figured to score a TD and at least guarantee OT. However, Donald Driver blew it on 3rd down from the 21. The motherfucker dropped an easily catchable pass! I had to settle for the field goal which gave me a 27-24 lead with 1:30-something left after being down 14-24. The Bengals kept executing the run for short gains and consistent first down that drained the clock before busting out a lucky 30 yard toss to get inside my 20. I thought I had them stopped and could send it to overtime if I allowed them a field goal, but with 5 seconds left, they got through my secondary for the touchdown and the 31-27 lead. Needless to say, my hail mary attempt at the end resulted in an INT, and the Packers' online record under Matt Young dropped to 2-3. I suck. but at least I'm having a lot of fun while losing. At this rate, though, I'll be losing my hair as along with the games.

I had about 150 of my CDs stolen when I was up in Canada a while back. I'm working on downloading the albums to replace them since I don't want to re-buy everything, but I'm looking for a site (or series of sites) where I can download the images that are on the front of the actual discs themselves so that I can print out labels to stick to the CD-R's. Does anyone know of any sites that have stuff like this?

I am only replying here to inform Agent that the name "Oedipus and the Motherfuckers" was used by some friends I had in high school 5 years ago for a punk band they formed. They even recorded a CD. It's still a good idea for a name and he had no idea it had been used, but nonetheless, it's been done.

I have an extra copy of the Ultimate Ric Flair Collection. The 3rd disc has some superficial scratches and skips a bit during the Royal Rumble, but those can be fixed with a scratch remover. I just don't have one at the moment. I'm willing to trade the collection for tapes or DVDs. I'm pretty much open to anything you have to offer.

Daffney>>>>>>>>>Tracy. Plus she's from Peoria, Illinois. That's close enough to my hometown.

Damn, I didn't think it was going to be that long. That really sucks. I don't like RVD nearly as much as I did a few years ago, but his team with Mysterio was really good in my opinion.

I forgot to ask... Can someone explain the "play style" and "votes" features on Live? I know what play style is, but how is it determined? I have played 4 games and have a play style of "average", but some people have played a ton of games and are listed as "n/a". As for votes, I have no idea either. I have 10/11. I've never seen any sort of voting option. Neither feature is explained in the manual or the game itself from what I've seen, so I was just curious.

I unfortunately spent $60 on the Deception Kollector's Edition for Xbox. I figured it was a safe bet seeing as how I loved MK 1-4. I had never played Deadly Alliance. Deception is pretty boring, probably a 4/10, on single player, no matter if you're playing the traditional mode, the horrible new 3D free roaming adventure deal (which sounded really good in theory) or any of the other weak modes. However, on mutiplayer it is pretty good. Too bad most of the guys who play on Live are too hardcore for me to ever be competitive. I think I'm going to swap MKD for the $20 credit at gameCrazy and get a new copy of Guilty Gear X2 #Reload.

I was browsing Barnes and Noble's website looking for some new books to purchase when I came across this. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearc...74349041X&itm=6 The book is entitled Are We There Yet?: Tales from the Never-Ending Travels of WWE Superstars and is supposed to be available in February and it seems like a pretty interesting read. I hadn't heard anything about it before. Does anyone have any more info on it?

I just played the best game online. My first few games were a 56-7 loss, a 23-0 win, and a 46-17 victory. I never had a good close game. Tonight I played some guy who used the Broncos and the game was an awesome back and forth battle. I took the lead 24-21 with about 4:00 left in the game, but then he drove the length of the field thanks to some good running and a 38 yard pass play and took the lead 28-24. I lost the ball on my next possession but then forced him to punt (after using all my timeouts to stop the clock) with 43 seconds left. I starte at my own 37 and finally got down to the 17. I got a pas off that Donald Driver dropped with 3 seconds left. Man, was I pissed. I couldn't kick a FG, so I had one last shot at the end zone. I tossed a screen pass to Javon Walker, who made it to the 1 yard line before falling short as time expired. Final score: Broncos 28, Packers 24. It sucks that I lost, but that was the most fun I've had in a video game in a while.

I don't care about the quarter length, but as I said in my response to your PM, I have barely played this game and I'd probably get thrashed anyway, but I'd have no chance on Superstar. VX- Are you going to be back on Live tonight? I saw you on NFL earlier, but you were busy crushing the Ravens 28-3 in the 4th quarter. I'd like to play a game against you sometime.

Now that I have DSL, I'd like to be able to download both old TV shows that I never got a chance to see, as well as recent stuff in case I miss an episode like I did with these week's 24 and last night's American Idol. Can someone give me some sites to check out? I've heard of bittorrent, but I have no idea what it is or how it works.
