Should be good now. InMotion IT fucking rules.

See here now. I am prepared to tolerate a good number of things from you people, but disrespecting Barry Windham IS NOT ONE OF THEM!

Wife got promoted today. We weren't expecting it. We were under the assumption that it wouldn't happen until AFTER we have our son in June because she'd be going on maternity leave. And it's...very nice, to say the least.

Mike - it wasn't funny then and it's not funny now

I listened to one episode where Cold Stone said he weighed 275 and I was like, you fat sumbitch, Trader Joe knew damn good and well what he was doing when he made his parking lots so damn small. He knew your fat ass could use the walk.

You lost me at "Bray Wyatt can't work."

"Just a quick one before this evening" ... I've made a huge mistake

Man...every time someone mentions Ninja Five-0, an angel gets its wings. Fantastic game that not nearly enough people played.

Then there's a debate about if the first EC should be on the Network

Today I was thinking about the first night that I have the WWE Network and I started getting those stomach butterflies that I got in high school when I was around a girl I had a crush on. I'm a fucking loser.

It won't be true progress until hookers accept Bitcoin.

If I'm not mistaken, Canterbury came back way too soon from the broken neck suffered against LOD. Southern Comfort would definitely fit in the Attitude era. Two hillbilly booze-hound street pimps. Take it a step further and make them coke dealers, who always have a glass of SoCo & lime with them. Christopher Daniels and his appletini would have had nothing on that.

The absolute best heel turn I ever saw as a kid. So effective that I couldn't even bring myself to root for him again once he mended his ways and started teaming with Dustin Rhodes.

I was eating lunch today--some of my first solid food this week after battling a stomach virus. Felt something hard between my teeth. Pulled it out. It was a rock. I'm the Charlie Brown of dental/health problems right now.

It was just Giant Haystacks vs the nearest bear they could find.

So you're saying he should be more incognito about all of this?

Wrestling occurs in a really narrow space where WWE is both the progenitor and caretaker of its history. What I mean to say is the likelihood of there ever being some archive where you can put on a pair of white gloves and view the ppv is very small. The historical value is undeniable but it's also not like footage has been totally lost. I think the problem with putting Over the Edge on the network is in edifying a "clean" version of the event. Pat themselves on the back for not showing him fall, or the immediate aftermath, then air Mark Henry's poem a million more times. I just don't see a way for WWE to use the broadcast itself in any form that doesn't re-victimize his survivors. Personally the two parts I find most affecting are the pre-match promo on the Godfather, and Lawler's thousand yard stare when he returns to the table. Knowing what happens, the sense of doom radiates forward and backward equally. By the time you're done clipping you've satisfied no one and also deeply compromised the historical value. Should've just put the main event on the History of the WWE Championship dvd and been done with it forever.

God that match was a clusterfuck. I had to steal this from the lucha pics thread. Did they just step out of Boogie Nights? Plus, fanny pack!

Juanito Cena XXXIII vs Randalita Kwang Orton XXXIV, intergender space wrestling war battle for the ages.

Trial case got dismissed this week. Prosecutor and cop publicly shamed. There was much rejoicing!

I've been bored of him since 2004. He's a shameless, miserable cunt of a man. It isn't funny or clever, and the fact that he had his back broken and his ass fucked at Madrid and he still plays the twat while the media jump all over each other to suckle at his teat... fuck him.

What do you want UFC to do at this point, not have Cormier on the card at all and have nothing that even remotely resembles a co-main event? You're not going to get any established guys like Phil Davis or Anthony Johnson willing to fight Cormier on a weeks notice.

Are you kidding me? The MMA media has been parroting Dana's "It is a ROCKY story" nonstop. During the same press conference, Dana said Rousey is the biggest star they've ever had and NOT A SINGLE REPORTER called him on that.

Reading now.... One picture for every time I get mad. ..... They're both nuts. They both suck. Fuck them both. I hate you all. Happy Valentine's Day.

Nah, couldn't be. Hogan wouldn't share his blow with anybody.

Fuck Valentine's Day on general principle.

Hell, I thought it was Snitsky

Lord only knows what would have been possible if Russo booked The Wire

Unless they're harvesting the souls of the unborn nothing will prevent me from enjoying Chipotle (barring some anal bleeding. And even then...)

GBA games what are awesome that don't really get brought up: MOTHER 3 hahaha just kidding they'll never release this*. it's probably the best RPG ever, though, because it is both a story written with thought and told with prose, as well as being a Video Game You Can Play, a key feature many RPGs lack. ASTRO BOY: OMEGA FACTOR FACT: Treasure released the best action games every year from 1993-1998. In order: Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Alien Soldier, Guardian Heroes, Mischief Makers, and Radiant Silvergun. They missed 1999, but made up for it in 2000 with both Bangai-O and Sin & Punishment. They missed 2001, but made up for it with Ikaruga in 2002, simultaneously inventing and murdering bullet hell. FACT: Dr. Frankenstein envies Treasure. FACT: Treasure was the best at side-scrolling action games. Look up there again. FACT: The GBA was really, really good at doing super crisp 2D action games. FACT: Astro Boy is a weird setting. FACT: Astro Boy: Omega Factor is a 2D action game from Treasure on the Game Boy Advance. FACT: Astro Boy is even better than the sum of all prior facts, mostly because in between beating the unholy fuck out of everything, there's a lot of story. You are rewarded for caring about that story, for if you catch on to subtle nuances you can make new branches in the story appear, and then beat up more things, which then makes you better at beating things up. FACT: Everything Treasure made after Astro Boy: Omega Factor is kind of garbage, except for that one Bangai-O game on the DS. The one with the mapmaker mode that generated maps from sound files that you played into the microphone of the DS. That game was alright. FACT: Everyone should play Astro Boy: Omega Factor. MARIO GOLF: WHATEVER THE SUBTITLE WAS There's one key difference between the GBA game and the Gamecube game, and probably that new one they're making too: hitting the golf ball feels REALLY satisfying. The tiny speaker threatens to tear apart as you wind up, and then there's an enormous explosion of sprite effects when you hit the ball. This is enough to justify playing all of this game, if you feel like you want to play a golf game. NINJA FIVE-O I know, having sweet ninja powers you can only use to help pigs is like winning infinite food and permanent comfortable shelter for breaking your mother's nose in front of your father without ever being able to tell them why you did it. Stick with me. For one you can jump around like a ninja. Pretty awesome. For two, you get a grappling hook that is also a chain. This is important because chains are cooler than ropes, and because you can use this in combination with your ninja jumping powers to do insane ninja bullshit. For three, you never actually interact with any cops, only goons and hostages. So you just do their job for them. For four, when you upgrade your ninja stars, it goes from a ninja star to three spreading fireballs to a railgun. If you are good, you throw like a railgun, while ninja sliding into giant grappling hook jumps. For five, the game is called Ninja Five-O. Play Ninja Five-O. WARIOWARE This could just be a DVDVRMB thing, or this could just be a "i've had two concussions" thing, but I never see anyone bring up Warioware when talking about good games for the GBA. Even if Warioware isn't the Best Game, it's certainly the Most Game. It's brilliant that the main menu is a tree, because as it grows it becomes Even More Game for you to pick the fruits off of and just play for hours and hours. See the story. Fly paper airplanes. Play that weird shoot out game. Play one microgame until you will never get it wrong again if it pops up in a stage you want to replay. Play the stages until you get all the microgames. Let Wario's mad laugh fill the air for hours, wherever you go. WARIOWARE: TWISTED I don't think this will come out either, but seriously how hard would it be to let people use the Wii remote to simulate the gyroscope. That doesn't seem like too dramatic of a fix. Plus playing it on a TV would solve the "tilt this thing you're looking at" problem. THE TWO CASTLEVANIA GAMES THAT DON'T HAVE THAT SOMA CRUZ GUY He sucks, and so does Metroidvania. You know what's better than Metroidvania? Metroid. The two Castlevania games without Soma Cruz are basically just Metroid with magic spells and a weapon that has an actual justification for being short range. Why would you make an arm cannon that only shoots ten feet in front of you. Why would you buy that arm cannon. Why do I have to use it. This sucks. I wish I had something tangible, like a whip. Castlevania's 2D Sprite Whip still feels totally great to use. It's the one thing they've reliably not fucked up through the years of letting Castlevania keep happening. The whip in the 3D games feels like a suggestion, when whips are made for orders. Order the death of skeletons with Castlevania: The First One On GBA and Castlevania: The Other One On GBA *seriously, never. the story is so bleak and the ending is traumatic, but it has just the prettiest, nicest cartoon art. MOTHER 3 is a good game to ruin a child's life with.

RoboCop was ace and I expected to hate it.

Is it possible that Angle has used so many chemicals that he's becoming some sort of super-human. You know, Hulk and gamma rays, Superman and the rays of a yellow sun, Chevy Chase and cocaine...

You can already wear bikini tops and underwear, I don't see what the big deal about adding lingerie is. The female avatars still look ugly as shit anyways. Here is the legit list of changes - I didn't see anything about being able to buy another garage: http://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201672037--February-13-2014-GTAV-Title-Update-1-10-Notes (spoilered for size) I played a bit this morning and the RP/cash for repeating missions has been nerfed again - ugh. Then make more missions! Deathmataches and races bore me for the most part, especially since the same handful come up over and over. I hate how they promote them as "jobs". I'm going to miss having the mechanic deliver your car - I always enjoyed beating the shit out of him, especially after he says he can't deliver it.

I hope HBO picks it up here in the States. Glad they were able to come to an agreement for the rematch.

She was an integral part to Edge getting over as a main event heel as well.

Some of us are talking. You're just gleefully splashing around in puddles like a little boy playing in the rain because you found a thread where you aren't the least respected poster.

I think the first one had a really flawed premise. OK, so how does murdering old people and the homeless, who don't work anyway, cut unemployment down to 10%? The idea that no one is going to be violent anymore because they can do whatever they want for one night of the year is also ludicrous. If anything, it would increase the likelyhood of being violent. Of course, the idea might be that the government are being assholes and lying to everyone about the good things that come out of the Purge. So, there's that.

Not when Swags gets repackaged as Bigg Hoss Jack and is managed by Bunkhouse Buck. People chanting "We Want Bunk!" will be happy.

A scroll? This is wrestling not fucking Hogwarts

I find myself actually of being in overall support of Antacular's original position regarding it making ethical sense for the WWE to avoid featuring OTE 99 on the Network. However, the pomposity of his inability to realize that others may not be predisposed to agree with him (for a variety of reasons OTHER than "they are a bad person"), coupled with the majority of his arguments in "defense" of his position being a semantics about morals vs. ethics and name-dropping philosophers finds me enjoying everyone taking the piss out of him in this thread. Even if you are correct, being a dickhead about it doesn't endear one to most (a lesson I've learned many times over).

Yes. On one hand I think of Animated. On the other, I think of the Marvel shows and their mediocre replacements, and ESPECIALLY Ultimate Spider-Man.

The Diet Butcher:

Then arguably the most well protected work-shoot ever never takes place?

Russo hops on the Double J Train and helps name it "Jarrett's Extreme Wrestling Society" or JEWS for short, because that'd be the kewl thing to do, or something.

I hope that at some point we get an awesome video retrospective on Warrior set to the sounds of Scandal.
