::looks at Kotz's sig:: Like there's even any question here.

The nastiest hit EVER: smoking tobacco out of a bong made for weed. That is the sickest, stiffest hit of nicotine you could ever hope to experience. Oh, and Camel Unfiltereds have a pretty savage kick, too.

Same kind of stuff I've heard from some of the wrestlers, too.

I've had American Spirits before, and I wasn't terribly impressed. Reminded me of a Marlboro Light, but with a more subtle taste. Definitely didn't find it to be as strong as everyone here is making them out to be. Benson & Hedges, had them, complete waste of time. Camel Exotics: not too bad, since the Turkish Jade is my brand, but ultimately just a novelty that wears off kinda quickly.

I don't know about this one. The massive hype for this game is all about... camo? Fucking camo?! If I wanted to experiment with camo, hey, the Army Surplus store is right down the street. I hope the rest of the game is damn good, because the "stealth" aspect of it sounds like it's gonna seriously suck.

Anyone else think that chick looks a whole lot like the female Robin from Dark Knight Returns?

The 1/3 number is simple: all of the seats on the floor around ringside are paid admission only, no freebies. The people in the bleachers and balconey all got in free, except for the occasional sucker who couldn't find a ticket or didn't know better. It's pretty much an assumption that if TNA ever stopped giving out the free tickets, their crowds would drop by half or more, and that looks and sounds terrible on TV.

The regulars in the crowd will be pretty damn happy about this, though. The Juggalos were loud, rude, and started at least one fight every week (which led to security cracking down harder on everybody). ICP might be missed, but their fans won't.

"A huge bomb"? By what standards? MGS2 was a huge hit in stores, Konami made money by the barrelful with that game. About MGS3, though, I am kinda worried about what I've heard. Taking place back in the 60's, in the jungle, no radar, having to waste time with "realism" like eating, all that sounds suspect to begin with. But the fact that the lead protagonist is apparently Big Boss, now that is a BAD idea. The #1 complaint about MGS2 was that they replaced Snake as the hero with someone less cool. Raiden was bad enough; how are gamers going to react when they have to play as Big Boss, the single worst villain in the entire series?

I'd try to get Ebay to freeze and/or delete your account right now, and call your bank and credit card companies and tell them that someone might've gotten your information and to watch for suspicious transactions (and change any and all passwords while you're at it).

Anyone blaming this on the Buffyverse will come out looking like a complete fucking idiot, since White's arsenal of "a sawed off shotgun, three pistols and a knife" are completely useless against vampires, at least the ones on Whedon's shows.

Hell yeah, I remember the old site. Jake would do long, nonsensical rants about whatever he saw on Raw that week, and usually half of it was praising Austin or bitching about Jericho or Vince. It was great. I even indirectly got my first internet writing gig from there, as Jake's site links introduced me to a little (now long-dead and forgotten) site called prowrestlingcolumns, which I ended up writing for. And then suddenly one day Jake's site is gone, and some teenage girl's pr0n webcam site replaced it. So it goes.

They were pretty much done with the Gathering vs. Raven & Friends storyline anyway, and Punk & Dinero left, just like Slash and Synn before them.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is a decent game, but very hard at times, really long, and kinda repetitive too. I'm stuck about 2/3rds of the way through at a part where I have no idea how the hell to get past it, and it's pretty frustrating. Hitman 2, also a decent game, is exactly the opposite: a lot of variety and fun things to do, but it's too short and too easy; you can do all this neat stealthy assassin stuff, but sooner or later the guards will spot you and it'll turn into the inevitable massacre with you mowing down every man, woman, and child in a five-mile radius. I'm a fan of the Max Payne games too. Try one of those if you haven't already. They do rely on the dual-stick controls (one stick walks, the other turns) but it's much smoother than on most games like that.

Terribly, horribly, rancidly unfunny people: Adam Sandler, Pauly Shore, Carrottop, most Wayans brothers, Dennis Miller, Steve Martin, Mel Gibson, Tom Green, 90% of the voiceover people on Crank Yankers, Jackie Chan from Who Am I onward, and the entire cast of Saturday Night Live for the past five years (excluding Will Ferrell).

Salvatore Rinauro was renamed "Mellow" and indeed was introduced as a new member of Special K. Rainman and Coleman are both very talented, and if they screwed up that bad, I'd definitely say that it was an off night for both of them, and not their usual performance.

"D'oh." ::Sells.::

Dammit, I saw this topic earlier, I should've thought of saying what Naibus said. Say no to drugs, kids, they really DO kill brain cells.

You know why I love my X-Box? Two words: EMULATED GAMES. I've got picture-perfect versions of almost every old NES game ever made, plus various stuff from other systems, and of course MAME roms for arcade games. The Box plays 'em better than any computer I've tried. Also, being able to just rent X-Box games and copy them onto the hard drive so you can play them forever and ever and ever is cool. All this stuff requires a mod chip, but it's not too hard to find one of those.

If anyone else wants to write something for me, as I'm far too lazy to do it myself, I'd love J*INGUS to be part of AM3. Actually, I kid, I just don't have time in these half-hour sections at the public library to write anything up, otherwise I'd love to do it. What about... (POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT IF THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO DO IT) ...something where I murder Mario's character to give him a proper sendoff?

::Hands out Clawslams and ANGLE AWARD-WINNING Devilbombs like candy to everyone, and dares them not to sell.:: Oof. Crap like this is why I kinda stopped participating in OAOAST in the first place. Can't we all get along? And go back to goofy talking drunken fish gimmicks?

Oh come on, we all know that Popick really runs things around here.

I doubt that DSE would come under all that much shame. Inoki has been through much worse in the past, and is still a senator in the Japanese Diet. The news of the loan is interesting, but not terribly surprising, as Inoki or someone else in DSE probably liked the ROH product and wanted their guys to work some American shows sometime. That's probably all there is to it.

Oh, and they're not a finisher, but B-Boy's forearm strikes. The only man in the world who looks like he hits harder than Misawa does on those moves.

I wouldn't blame Williams at all for that match, considering he was suddenly thrown into it maybe fifteen minutes before it happened because of Ted's injury. Ted really is a very, very good mat wrestler. Try and dig up his match with American Dragon from MLW, where he does one of the smoothest reversals I've ever seen, from Dragon's Cattle Mutilation right into the Fujiwara armbar.
