If I had an X-Box, you'd pay me to be on the other team. I came in dead last in an eight player deathmatch, getting smoked nine times in five minutes while getting only one measly kill.

Fuck everything else. It's all about the return of the U-Force!

I realized that I had some GameCrazy trade-in dollars burning in my account so I went out and used them on Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the Game Boy Advance. I haven't played it for very long, but I might as well bring it out for discussion. First off, I might as well address the FMV intro. It's good stuff, but nothing I haven't seen before. As for the real-time card battling system, I personally think it's pretty innovative. Instead of mashing the buttons like crazy, I kind of have to plot out and time my attacks since they can be broken if my opponent attacks with a card with a higher value. And Yuffie makes an early appearance in the game. Hail Yuffie. That's all I've got to say so far.

I haven't even bothered trying to use the enemy cards yet. I set up my deck where all I do is use Sonic Blade 8 times. Just wait for an attack, then break it with Sonic Blade to get my 7 hits, rinse and repeat. It's so cheap, it's great. I'm going to try to set up a pattern so I can stock for the 8 Sonic Blades, reload, then have more Sonic Blades at my disposal despite losing 8 cards from stocking. That should keep me in business for a while.

Was Benoit the only guy not wearing a wig in that commercial?

Rey with the wig was horrendously great. I would've liked to see the blow-off being Vince rushing through the shot to yell at the director/writers for doing the wrong kind of Rumble instead of the "It was a bad dream" ending we actually got. But that's just me.

To think this woman already had kids... She needs to be taken out of society, and I won't shed tears if it's by virtue of a bullet to the head.

I have Madden 2004 and I'm gonna stick with it until I see a huge update in the play mechanics. On a side note, I'd really wish EA would update their custom team logos to ones that didn't suck.

You know, I can excuse pro-wrestling writers to have incoherent storylines twists based on what they're given, but this...goddamn... Watch Hush turn out to be a robot or something equally lame just to piss everyone off.

John Heidenreich: The New Poet Lauret of the Wrestling World - Not good, but not overly WC unless you include the Michael Cole inferred sodomy segment...and the attempted vehicular manslaughter on Taker. Gene Snitsky-Kane-Lita: Dead Babies Aren’t Much Fun - Purely WC when it was about the pregnancy angle. Miraculously elevates previously unknown Snitsky for aborting the angle. Think about that: Aborting WC = Elevation. We could be onto something here. The Death of Paul Bearer - Cheesy on paper, WC in execution. John Bradshaw Layfield: YOUR World Champion - Believe or not, I don't consider him WC eligible. His title reign just sucks and he doesn't draw. Booker T: Voodoo is Doodoo - Damn, I hated the skits for this. Of course it all amounted to nothing as Taker no sold whatever the voodoo was supposed to do. Mordecai: Heaven Help Us - Decent gimmick, but Fertig was way to green to get such a build up and was doomed to failure. Shaniqua: Leather Dominatrix - You did Rutgers proud, Linda. Really only bad for the promo with the Bashams panting over her boobjob. So Long, Goldberg: Thanks for the Memories - Not too bad on the WC scale sans the fan turn when he wrestled Brock. Mark Jindrak: Narcissist 2004 - Never paid attention to Jindrak, so I can decide. Tom Arnold: Pro Wrestler - Don't watch TNA, but this gets a WC nod simply for the title. The Diva Search: Quarter Million Dollar Waste of Time - MY BUTT IS HUNGRY...FOR WRESTLECRAP! Of course damn near everyone involved got a gig with the company afterwards, making the whole contest meaningless. One Night in Chyna: Poor Blade Braxton - Just knowing what this involves makes you want to never have sex for a very long time. Randy Savage RAPS - If I had a second place vote, I'd probably vote for this. One of the most grating sounds ever to grace my speakers.

If you were a wrestler, would you: Prefer to be given only finish and call everything else in the ring ? Lay the entire match out beforehand ? Call heat spots and finish spots only. I think I could pace everything else. Like to have your promo's scripted ? Or just be given a couple of bullet points, and wing the rest ? Bullet points, but I'd keep them short otherwise I'd expose myself as bad behind a mic. Blade often ? Only on occasion ? Would you rather never blade at all ? Very rarely and for very damn good effect. I want my blade jobs to make people say "Holy shit! He's BLEEDING!" What style would you like to wrestle ? Why would you prefer to employ that particular style over others ? I'd be one-part worked shoot and one-part human ragdoll, since at my size, almost everything I throw would look weak except for submissions. Refuse to take certain moves ? Only take them when working with certain wrestlers ? I'll refuse to wrestle people I deem to be sloppy and unable to give me at least a small cushion of protection on moves. Neck bumps are also out of the question. Are there any match types you'd like to wrestle in a lot ? Some match types you'd rather never have to work in ? I'd work alot of tag-team, gimmick matches, and squashes on the losing end. What style of normal match would you like to do the most ? Would you prefer to sell or to dominate ? Would you like to do long matches ? Tag-team matches as the proverbial Ricky Morton getting my ass beat and selling three-quarters of the time. Would you like to have a manager or valet to work spots with, or would you rather just do it all yourself ? I'd have a credible tag-team partner, but that's about it. Are there some types of angles that you would refuse to do ? Some types of angles that you'd love to do ? Anything overly taboo (death, rape, etc.) is out of the question. I'd rather do comedy and big-man vs little-man angles. What promotion would you like to work for the most ? What promotion would you hate to work for ? If they can pay me on the spot, it's all good. Any wrestlers today that you'd like to work against ? Any you would avoid working against at all costs ? If they're willing to work with me, I'm willing to work with them. Except Bob Holly. Fuck him. New Jack, too. What wrestlers from the past would you like to work against ? What wrestlers from the past would you not want to work against ? I'd want to work with Vader pre-WWF or Stan Hansen once, just to know what it's like to get my ass kicked legit.

Baek got alot of play with our first time release tonight. Damn, I don't know what I love more: Feng's pimp suit or Baek's old man suit.

From the first time I saw ads for it, I knew it was going to be a crappier version of Survivor. So sad...

They've already tried to change his gimmick, failed, tried again, failed again, then apparently gave up and gave him the original gimmick back. At this point it looks like Morley's going to be Val Venis for the remainder of his WWE career whether he likes it or not.

So...am I supposed to care about Puder now?

We love the Dreamcast, but not as much as we love the cock. *gets ushered back into his retirement home room and is promptly shot to death*

Big Kahuna, if memory serves me correctly. I've never had one, but it does look like a tasty burger. Personally, I like In N Out's Animal, No P/T or a Wendy's Single for cheeseburgers. I'll usually get McDonald's double cheeseburger since it's the closest thing to me when I'm in the need for food.

The complete HoF Nominee Ballot for the non-link clicking audience Iron Sheik Bob Backlund Ted DiBiase Ricky Steamboat Bruno Sammartino Road Warriors Rick Rude Paul Orndorf Bret Hart British Bulldog Wendi Richter Terry Funk Yokozuna Gordon Solie Honky Tonk Man Jimmy Hart Dusty Rhodes Curt Hennig Owen Hart Hollywood Hogan Roddy Piper Cowboy Bob Orton Barry Windham King Kong Bundy In my opinion, I've gotta go with Solie, Sammartino, and Hogan as "Absolutely In". Bret, Steamboat, Rhodes, and DiBiase go underneath "Good Arguments to Get In" and everyone else I'm a bit lukewarm toward.

Aside from the fact that he can't even spell his name right, shit...do you really want to promote that?

I saw a guy going by the screenname "Somm Williams ZU" with a Shidan rank. I challenged him and promptly got my ass handed to me, so I suppose that's a good ranking. I love that you can put up to 20 characters in your screenname. I put in the appropriate "First Round Fodder" for my Asuka.

The FLCL manga effectively ended my tendency to impulse buy without scanning the manga first. That and the completely f'd up .hack volume 2's.

I'm not even a hockey fan, but the Iginla figure is f'n BOSS~! I want to see stand-alone shots without the great backgrounds and lighting though to confirm my opinions though.

Various arcade and video game paraphernalia. Mainly tokens, redemption tickets and game-specific cards (Initial D, Tekken 5, Derby Owners Club, etc). Manga

Essentially, yes. Fake grass, ground rubber and sand, I think. Gotta say natural grass or FieldTurf. Carpet fields suck with the exception of maybe Boise State's SmurfTurf, and I'm only saying that for the color.

Concept pictures? Bah! I demand video! I demand sound! I demand the game not suck after passing the first two requirements!
