The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread
LaParkaMarka replied to Steve J. Rogers's topic in Brandon Truitt
There is no way WWE could ever pull a character like that off, without burying the guy at some point. They'd throw him in a fued with Hurricane, making him job a bunch of times to "pay his dues". Bah. -
I once saw Bill Brasky scissor-kick Angela Landsbury.
-
Amazing finish, from Vick's int to Delhomme's. With ESPN, just ignore everything they say. Worst commentating crew ever.
-
It's really amazing that Square would go all kiddy with FFTA after FFTs rather dark and mature story. Go figure. FFTA made me fear for FFXII, since it's in the same universe. But it looks like it won't be exactly the same as the silly Ivalice in FFTA.
-
You know, I always assumed that the Madden and NCAA games were essentially the same. Any major differences? How does it compare to ESPN? I bought ESPN this year for PS2, and it's great. Way better than Madden IMO (except for the insanely ugly create-team uniforms).

This year he said he wanted to be called Michael Vick, as being called Mike apparently breaks his leg.
-
I agree about McNair being MVP. His team lost, but that wasn't his fault. The man gave it all he had today. On the other side of the ball, did anyone really think Peyton Manning won that game? He played ok, but not MVP, you know? I was extremely annoyed when CBS cut out of that game to go to Denver/KC. Not that Denver/KC is bad, but you want to see the ending, even if it is a heartbreaker. Also: go Vikes! Their defense showed up, no turnovers = victory. Too bad the Pack won.
-
I agree...the character was so loveable Especially her interaction with Oz. I loved her crush on Xander stuff. I mean, right after him and Cordy hook up, and Willow freaks...that was good stuff. Really made you feel for the character.

I dropped Wheatley in the middle of the season. Who knew Oakland would turn into a running team?
-
If you want a challenge, try beating it with just Edgar, Celes, and Setzer. That's fun.

Apparently the game was supposed to be about Laguna originally. I guess it got scrapped at some point and the other storyline was put into place. It explains why Laguna has a bunch of levels, and why the freaking song is about Laguna and his love interest. And why Laguna was a million times cooler than the other members of the cast. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): I remember the orphanage part. So lame. And the idea that GFs made them forget it all. And the Rinoa/Squall romance was terrible. I thought Rinoa was about 10 million times worse than Squall ever was. If they bothered giving Squall a decent love interest *coughQuistiscough*, the game would have been much better. Instead, we had Rinoa crushing on two guys, and everyone telling Squall to take off in the middle of a pivotal battle to see Rinoa. Blarg.
-
I like Squall too. I mean, he was retarded at first, but he did develop into a decent character. Plus Squall haters can Spoiler (Highlight to Read): pretend he dies at the end of VIII, since the ending could be interpreted that way . I haven't played IX or V, but I had to vote for the Cecil from the insanely overrated FFIV. I mean, I liked the game, but it isn't anything close to the ones after it in the series. It had some fun characters (spoony bard) but FFVI it is not.

Might even want to start out with another Whedon show, Firefly. If you can like that, you'd like Buffy. Some people just can't get past the name "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", and it sticks with em even if they give it a shot. Firefly doesn't have the same stigma though.
-
Wicked recap, pinjockey. Just shows how important this week is for everyone. Ultimo is going to have fun figuring out where the heck he is during Sunday.
-
When did Mark Henry ever shed any pounds? When he was in OVW, he slimmed down quite a bit. WWE left him there, so he decided to do the World's Strongest Man competition again and bulked back up for it. And then they called him up.
-
The defining moment of the first one was Milla doing that slow-mo wall jump into a spin kick...right into that dog's face. The entire theatre erupted into laughter. It was kinda sad. So, I'm not expecting much from this flick. If I hear good things about it, I might check it out on cheap night or something. Nice to see some actual RE characters in there though.

The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread
LaParkaMarka replied to Steve J. Rogers's topic in Brandon Truitt
Yeah that's what she was there for. That also marked the last time any "Buffy" regular cast memeber appeared on Angel, as a completely useless bit of trivia. Of course, that will probably change now that Buffy is over. Uh, Willow showed up on Angel last season, remember? -

WWE does bullshit angles all the time. I mean, look at the recent angle with Stacy and Austin. That was insanely sexist (or, at the very least, extremely distasteful). Plus there was the Booker/HHH thing, as someone mentioned above. I understand why you'd get pissed off about this stuff. But WWE is a pretty terrible company in a lot of ways. This angle is just icing on the cake.
-
Not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread or not, but Space is having a 26-hour Buffy Boxing Day marathon. All of season 7, and then the original Buffy movie. It's so long, it has to start at 10 pm on December 25th. Dear Lord God, I thank thee. Except for the movie, which sucked.
-
Looks like it is. He might have been working for the league at the time. See, that picture is why Mess never worked out here in Vancouver. He beat us for the cup, and then ran the beloved captain (Trevor Linden) out of town. Plus the Canucks lost a lot while he was here. Punk.
-
That's a pretty sad article. I expect better from the Globe and Mail. I think the reporter had some good points though. I mean, I don't see that many Torontonians actually spending 2 hours on a ferry to go see the grave of a slave abolitionist, you know? If anything, this might help Toronto instead of Rochester. The Canadian dollar is high now, but that could change, and the lure of a somewhat cheap weekend away could cause people to go from Rochester to Toronto. Which sucks, because that takes business away from the people they're trying to help. Very unfortunate. Also: redbaron51 is a very smart man, re: Vancouver.

A lot of people here in BC hate Trudeau as well. I'm not exactly his biggest fan, though I liked Chretien. Anyone who chokes out a silly protestor is good by my standards. One thing you guys missed about the Libs: they hem and haw at every major issue, until the last possible second. Then they choose the view that the majority of Canadians agree with. And then they usually end up backtracking a bit to appease the rest. It's quite smart, yet very lame. Say what you will about the Alliance, but at least they stick to their guns.
-
I thought Yuna was a total garbage character in FFX, even though it was somewhat fleshed out. But I find she has a lot more personality in this one...the voice actress seems to have improved a bit as well.

I rarely change classes within a battle, unless I need some healing or something. Then again, I just started Chapter 2. Haven't touched the Black Mage outfit, and the Gun Mage is just now getting used by "P". This game is getting pretty cool now in Chapter 2. Very interesting. Is there a huge difference in the game depending on the choice you make at the beginning of the chapter?
