I wonder if the agents have ever thought of making the wrestlers wrestle less often, and giving them more nights off. I doubt it matters how people land on their head, compared to doing it 1,000 times a year.

Well I guess this is part of paying dues or whatnot. But ... lets see what happens later on with Paul London and Spanky.

The movie was simple and simply awsome. I mean it wasn't complex, it didn't have that much depth, and it didn't even have very many strong characters. But for all that, it was great. It was great in that old school way, when you take one or two animated and charismatic characters and have them perform, tell jokes, and break into song. It's a Jack Black movie, and when Jack Black is being Jack Black (ie not Shallow Hal) he's really really good.

I ditto Vagrant Story That game was as atmospheric as anything... The combat system was questionable, but it was just such a good story.

Perhaps they were referring to the single player FPS game, with spy-style action?

Do you ever ever read before you post? How about using the edit tool? It makes you sound dumber than you are. No really.

So then you're not denying he copied off of someone else's music AND lyrics?

I thought a 4 was perfect?

What else do you want in NHB? If you want people to be gentle, go play in LSD and look at someones penis or something.

Look, everyone defending "Sing On" or whatever, remember this: A cover is just that, a cover. It is an artist remaking a song in their own image. It is generally given the same title, and sounds relatively the same. It's an old music tradition and is cool. Sampling is when a MC/DJ whatever takes a small part of another song, usually the break, and mixes it with other songs and music from other sources to make a song. when done properly it does not sound like the song it was originally recorded from. A blatant sample is lazy. Sampling, scratching, mixing and DJing are all intricate and skillful activities. What Eminem did with "Sing On" and Puffy did with "Come With Me," "I'll be Missing you" and the Neptunes did with Britney's "Slave 4 U" is not skillful it's just stealing backbeats, or entire songs and rapping over them. I can honestly say I think that anyone who considers "Sing on" a good sample is a complete fool who doesn't know what good sampling IS, or at least doesn't appreciate it.

So this is the only thread we can talk about 9/11 in? Oh, and didn't we already discuss 9/11 to death already? Oh, you mean 9/11/03? Well, hopefully, this will be an anniversary and nothing more. Why should this be PINNED?

RJS AND Johnson1620 or whatever. And Sturgis if he's really like that, ditto jsyk. are RJS and Johnson1620 the same person? They're both dumb...

She'd probably prefer woman... Anyways, I'd be all for rap if it were any good. Seriously the concept of spoken lyrics to beats is great. The problem is, most popular rap is shit. So, I'd sign too. Any and all redeeming value in rap is negated by "I ain't never scared." Nuff said.

Well surprise surprise, you wouldn't be the first ruralite trying to dress like the urbanite he's not. It's not like it's surprising or new or amazing. Nor is the fact that most ruralites white, thus the "whiggers." Unless you're trying to say that the one-stop town in VA (which one?) invented the Jersey look and the ghetto copied it? You don't have to explain trends to us... Well, you know you all look alike to us anyways, right? For what its worth, you don't look a thing like any of the above at all. You don't really remind me of anyone...

I'm sorry I even mentioned it. It's BECAUSE of such prevalent fashion trends that you specifically can't judge a person based upon what they wear. They're just wearing what everyone else is. Except for the 1980's open shirted look CJ looks UTTERLY NORMAL. As do most if not all the people here. Not stunning, and not ugly.

And, BC, it's blown up since 2000. Am I wrong? There are many many many people whoe exclusively wear jerseys. I don't care if you were wrapped in one as a child, and are just keeping it real, it's still popular. Shit, I was just commenting. Maybe the Fabulous comment missed the mark, maybe you've been doing it for forever. Whatever, it's still a stereotypical urban look...

Sandman9000 has very nice hair.

CJ's first two posts remind of allll the other brothers sporting the jerseys and the baseball caps. I swear, ever since Fabulous (spelling off but I forget how he spells it) made his first video, it's been done to deaaaath. The third post? You look fucking OILY. Sleazy. Just so you know.

Necrid is an UNBALANCED piece of crap.

the word is alluded. They didn't escape to the buzzwords. This is just another example of the quantity over quality review method every single mag/site/person uses when reviewing games for publication/presentation. To be more specific, no mags were ever sold on three REALLY GOOD reviews. It's always 90 reviews in GamePro or 100 in EGM. That means someone has to play a game until their initial impressions are finalized, add to it the data they collected while playing alpha and beta versions, and write a review a month before the game ships so that it can come out when the game does. Specifically, no one could take the time to master a fighter. We all know it takes time and experience. After a while, you can tell what seperates Dead or Alive from Soul Calibur (one is balanced, the other not) Add to it the clear system preference (I'm guessing this guy owned and loved his Dreamcast, and calls the PS2 "archaic" while touting the Dreamcast. WTF.) He's clearly bitter that Sega lost the war, and is very upset that the command list in his practice mode doesn't have little triangles and squares instead of A, B, K, and G. No matter that some people may prefer to change their controls, no. It should be like the Dreamcast was, and have A, B, X, and Y in the command list. With matching colors. It worked on the DC because SC was only on one system, but it's an unnecessary step for a game with 3 platforms. The review COULD have addressed real issues with the game, such as the embarrasing slowdown (Xbox version looking better and better, does it slow down?) and the fact that three characters have no weapons, endings, or command lists. Oh, they're secret? So what. At least give them command lists... Similarly the endings are STILL stupid, I'm still waiting for Tekken endings OR hey, how about Soul Blade endings? Those were awsome! And why have weapons with different power and defense qualities with NO WAY to discern between them? The flaws are very apparent in a game with almost no other flaws. Hit detection? Great. Character design? Amazing! Fan service? In spades! Level design varies from tiny platforms to walled enclosures to vast rooms with walls AND pits. The single player puts Tekken to shame with it's "deathmatch" style survival, 3 on 3 SNK style team arcade mode, let alone the weapon master mode. This mode DOES get old after the 104th fight in an attempt to unlock Lizard man. Weapon master mode just illustrates all the things they were unwilling to put into the game. Exploding floors a la Dead or Alive one? Sure we'll program it, but not in Vs mode! Ring out only mode? Bomb tag? All these things are in the game, and none of them in Vs. mode. This is what Smash Bros did right, it implemented everything it possibly could in ALL modes. I'm not saying Low-G or quicksand floors would make the game BETTER, but it couldnt' hurt. Variety is the spice of life. In the end, Soul Calibur combines the best of SC and SB, and nothing more. It stands on it's gameplay alone, because it's extras are rarely strong enough to matter. This, it's only flaw, doesn't do enough damage to it to prevent it from being a stellar game. But you gotta shake your head as to why they didn't spend a few weeks and code all this. They have a pure vs. mode, so why not give the extra vs. mode everything? That is what the review should have looked like. We all know about the graphics and sound. But the gameplay and features are what we're looking for in a review.

TMM, have you SEEN reality TV recently???

No, I work FOR the state, specifically, the Univ. of MD Residential Facilities. Ask Gov. Erlich where the fuck our money went. He'll say: "Not to Eric, who is not allowed to work overtime." Bastard.

Where I work, if one gets overtime, one's hours are reduced to forty and one is warned. If one goes over forty hours another week, one is fired. Sweat shop? No! The state of MD

Specifically, more than one European revolution was inspired by the American Revolution.
