Perhaps a dig at Bischoff's rise to power?

Let me get this straight: Thirty names were linked to this, but only ten were punished? There's some hard justice for you.

It was only a matter of time before the rampant steroid and drug use in wrestling led to something like this. Sure, the many deaths from within the business were horrible, but now it's impacted innocents, and that should be enough for people to look inside themselves and ask why they're helping support an industry that basically forces reckless drug abuse on its workers. I have done this, and have made the decision not to watch WWE's programs, order their PPVs, or buy their merchandise again. Yes, it's just me, and it's not going to affect anything, but I hope that others will come to the same conclusion that I have.

I always wondered how the O.J. Simpson Fan Club reacted to the news on that day in 1994. I guess I know now. I don't even know what to say at this point. It's a horrible thing to have happen, of course, but if what they're saying is truthful... I don't think I could comment on it without getting banned.

I guess it depends on who you end up talking to. I'll tell the customer politely that we're out, offer them a business card and tell them that their best bet would be to phone us every weekday at 10:00, and that we'd tell them if we were getting them in that day. You probably just had crappy luck with the employees you've talked to. I've actually asked my manager why we don't do this. There are two reasons for it: 1) Our Nintendo rep doesn't want us to do that, as he controls our Nintendo display and thinks that it reflects badly on his company if we put those signs up. 2) The average customer just ignores the various signs that we do put up and asks us for the same information that the sign says anyway. For example, we have several big signs that say that the PS3 goes for $659.99; we still end up with hundreds of people who walk right past the signs and ask us how much we're selling the PS3 for.

When Wilson Phillips tried their comeback a few years ago, the first single off of their album was a cover of Go Your Own Way. If they'd gone over to Stevie Nicks' place armed with meat cleavers, they could not have butchered Fleetwood Mac any worse.

Looks like having all the brands combine for one PPV a month was a good idea.

This is the News forum. You want the Six-And-A-Half-Years-Agos forum. Perhaps you could petition the administration to create one.

Did Avril Lavigne get her tits done? I watched her new video, and they seem bigger than before. Oh, and the song sucks just as much as everything else in her catalogue.

Nor will they, for quite a while. The longest they've lasted in my EB store was eight hours. We got the shipment a day before they usually came, and nobody asked for one all day. Of course, after the first one sold, the rest followed it in about half an hour. Usually, they'll be gone in half an hour, as we still have folks camping in the food court to get one. PS3s, on the other hand, are readily available at pretty much all times. Nobody wants to spend $750 (with tax, and that doesn't even include games/utilities) on a video game system; the ones who do are the ones who trade their entire libraries in for one.

PlayStation 2. Okay, you've got me there. Still, these kinds of errors aren't acceptable, given the price tag that the machine carries. They're gonna have to make this redesign flawless, or people will start abandoning the Xbox en masse.

Has there ever been a console with as many technical problems as the 360? Every day, I seem to deal with customer after customer whose 360s have turned into $500 paperweights for no reason. Add to that the recall on the copies of Ghost Recon that the common platinum package ships with, and you've got a situation that would be laughable if it wasn't so infuriating. This rumoured redesign is gonna go over REAL well with all the folks who blew hundreds of dollars on the first version.

Games can be delayed at any time. We've had several games get delayed on the scheduled release date, but they don't make a big deal out of it and we usually don't find out about it until someone tries to pick the game in question up. You shouldn't blame the clerk for not knowing that the developer would delay the game before it happened.

I was seeing 77.5 cents per litre tonight. Pretty good, though not as low as pretty much anywhere in the States.

They've set themselves up nicely to build towards HBK/Cena at 'Mania. - Have HBK beat a few more guys up like he did, showing a mean streak. - Have Flair call him out because of it. - Rumble: HBK/Flair opens the show; HBK wins, goes apeshit on Flair after the match and officially goes heel. Later, Shawn wins the Rumble. - Shawn is rejuvenated; can Cena defeat the Heartbreak Kid at his best? - For bonus deck-stacking, add Rodimer in the Diesel/Sid role. Thoughts? It's certainly better than Umaga/Cena. Plus, you could break up Rated RKO and feud them with one another, with Orton holding a grudge against Edge for not helping him when HBK whacked him on Monday.
