I threw my deposit down today for it when I picked up Mario Kart. I figure it's going to be impossible to find come release day and with a built in scale and over 40 different workout games you can play I figure it's worth the money. I'm really into to fitness and stuff so it probably should have been a no-brainer.

Travis Lutter released by the UFC. One miracle armbar escape away from being back in title contention. Funny how that works.

What an appropriate event title, come to think of it.

That's the best. I lost it when he stuck his foot through the windshield.

Can't help you with that. My sensor bar works fine. Anybody planning on getting Wii Fit? I weigh myself and work out every day anyway but I think it might be fun to get this and playing for 1 hour a day could probably be very beneficial to people. I'm wondering how fun it would be to drop the $90 but I'm thinking of getting it.

Yeah - if we were talking best overall pound for pound I'd probably exactly reverse my three.

That's a tough one. Anderson best striking, GSP best takedowns/wrestling, BJ has the best overall ground game. Anderson also has a very good BJJ game, GSP can do everything well, and BJ has serious knockout power. I would rank Anderson as the #1 pound for pound fighter right now but in terms of best all around I would put him 3rd behind those two. So it would come down to BJ vs. GSP and I really feel like they both excel at standing and the ground. BJ has recently rededicated himself to being a world class fighter and GSP has some psychological issues so I give BJ the nod by the thinnest of margins. 1) BJ Penn 2) GSP 3) Anderson Silva Distance between all three picks; very little.

The official name for this show is now Affliction: Banned The name comes from the banning of Affliction clothing from UFC shows.

I'm not sure if this was common knowledge already but on Inside MMA this week they announced that DREAM 1-6 are going to be on HDNet, which encompasses both the lightweight and middleweight grand prixs. Obviously DREAM 1 already happened and they are going to replay that the day before DREAM 2. Exciting. On another note, I can't believe Starnes had the balls to go on Inside MMA and basically sound like a bitch.

I actually really like this card. I'd love to see Alves destroy Hughes but it would have to be via way of a KO. Either way, win or lose, I can see Alves losing the fight throughout. Either he ends up losing or he catches Hughes when he's behind on the cards.

PSYCHO T coming back to school! Who else is super excited?! Unlike most of the others who might respond to this, I'm not the least bit sarcastic.

Big card update. Added some "WEC starpower" in Razor Rob, Crunkilton and the Frog. Plus Valencia on the undercard. Even though Maeda smashed him last time out I'm still a fan after the german suplex.

Another thing: is Ben going to kill Penny personally or is he going to have Sayid do it? If/when Sayid meets Penny, will her kill her? Remember the phone conversation in the equipment room on the freighter? Remember it and kill her anyway? Apparently Ben did time-travel to the desert. The DHARMA symbol on his jacket apparently represents reincarnation and when the two men on horseback are speaking in a different language they say, "Where are his tracks? Where did he come from, the sky?"

"I have a few questions. 1) How dare you?" Michael immediately starts the slow clap. Some of Ryan's coked out commentaries were great, especially the tribal warfare after the nuclear holocaust and how Cabo is essentially third world.

I wonder what Widmore meant when he said that everything Ben has he stole from him and that the island has always been his. This episode took place right around the end of 2004/beginning of 2005. The Ben/Sayid stuff happened Oct. 2005 so they get rescued relatively quickly...especially since Sayid had time to find Nadya, marry her and then have her get murdered. That was a pretty badass death for Alex, I must say.

SHOTGUN OUT OF THE PIANO STOOL. Ben rocks.

I personally ended up using Macs like this: iTunes for Windows came out in 2003. I found it to be better than Windows Media Player and WinAmp. In fact, I loved it as a music player. Because of that I bought an iPod. I really loved my iPod. Saw the G5 iMac - fell in love with it. Thought it looked so cool (like VX said) that I had to have it. I've been using Macs for almost 5 years now. Despite my bitching, I probably will stay with Mac. I can afford the extra price and I do enjoy Leopard and the whole iLife bundle a whole lot.

Loved it. The fact that they wouldn't break character was the best.

I was cheering for Riddle because of Credeur's dickishness at the weigh-ins. But Riddle just didn't listen to Rampage at all and I wasn't sad to see him lose. There was a point where he could have passed, could have stood up like Rampage said, or could have hit a sub but he did nothing and he ended up tapped out because of it. Frustrating.

FWIW, I'm typing this on my own computer which I dropped off in Syracuse on early Monday. It got delivered to me, fixed, at 9:30 AM this morning. Less than 48 hour turnaround from Syracuse to Texas back to me in Ithaca, including repairs.

Must watch video: http://i218.photobucket.com:80/albums/cc23...nn_vs_Sherk.flv I haven't been this hyped for a fight since GSP/Hughes 2, legitimately. I'm a total BJ fanboy (me and the rest of the internet, right?) and I hate Sherk. God, I can't wait for this.

He meant 85. He had all the numbers mixed up in that post because Rampage/Forrest is 86.

Mole, both of those items sort of defeat the purpose of a laptop. I'm not carrying around external speakers and a USB wireless card. Either way - I dropped it off two days ago. It's already been mailed to Texas, repaired, and on its way back to me via FedEx, so don't fuck Apple in that regard. Andrew - I have no idea what happened. I upgraded to Leopard directly when it came out but it wasn't a software issue. My logicboard was fried. I have no idea how it happened. But I exhausted all the software possibilities and none of those "fixes" worked for me. Either way, I'm happy now. Don't fuck Apple.

Tito carries himself like a boxer in the sense that marketing himself is far more important than his actual fight. If he beats Machida, which I honestly don't think he will, I think he'll be back in the discussion for top LHW fighters. The problem is, it's irrelevant. I think Tito will leave the UFC and probably not fight another top LHW for awhile. He'll probably fight Shamrock and Trigg, who obviously aren't LHWs. If he goes with EliteXC - I can see him fighting Kimbo down the line, as well. Also not a LHW. You might think that fight doesn't make sense and I agree but you have to consider that Tito is going to want to catch a piece of the Kimbo heat. Either way - I have Machida winning this fight by decision. Tito probably won't finish him and I'm not sure he's going to be able to take down and gnp Lyoto at will.

I read that they are just going to push Chuck/Rashad back to the end of the summer. Chuck's injury: Anyways, Dana wants WEC to be the smaller weights and UFC to have the bigger weights so it's possible that Sonnen, Filho, Stann and pretty much their entire 185 and 205 pound divisions (those worthy) are headed to UFC. http://mmajunkie.com/news/4188/wec-fighter...aded-to-ufc.mma I'm not as optimistic about this as the writer of the article. I can't really see any of these guys being instant contenders.
