What a bizarre team Montreal is now.

I don't know if I'm really the one qualified to make this thread go, but I'll give it a shot getting it started. Here's a very spacy beginning.

The answer for the annual Buck Pierce injury pool: week 4, quarter 2.

Continuing with the wrestling theme, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed Adam Jones handing Cespedes a replica WWE belt after winning the Home Run Derby.
Between Aaron Rodgers carrying around a title belt, the Heat wearing them last year and now this, I have to think sooner or later one of these sports leagues is going get sick of giving WWE free publicity and realize guys would rather have a blinged out belt than some goofy phallic baseball bat trophy. Just commission a Slam Dunk champion or Home Run Derby championship belt already.
Trophies are so 2005.
To be honest I'm flabbergasted that the World Series of Poker doesn't hand out a big fucking gold belt to the main event winner to go with the bracelet. Converting a WSOP bracelet into a larger model as a belt seems like the most obvious thing in the world.
Also, if I ever win the main event in my lifetime through some utter change in social standing combined with a total fluke, I give my word to DVDVR I'll have a WSOP belt made out of my own pocket.

Unless you live in magic land where internet is free, streaming already probably costs you a lot more than cable.

Let's go!

That seems really petty and silly. I assume this is one of those "rich people who hate each other" things.

So when you listen to a lot of music you get off on really weird side trips sometimes. Like randomly deciding "hey I'm going to listen to a Gregorian Chant album just this once".
This goes on too long, but man. How can anyone listen to this record and be angry. It's the mellowest thing ever.
Also, Biblical art is very violent.

I like Dustin Brown.
But 8 years/$47 million is really excessive.

I already sent a ballot but if you need me to resend just say so and it's no big deal.

I've had the same hotmail account for like 14 years and still haven't had it spammed out.
No, I don't know why either.

My favourite NES games that aren't the really obvious shit are the port of Sid Meier's Pirates! (though you HAVE to go get the map of the Caribbean off of gamefaq's pretty much, since... yeah, you don't have a paper one), the Capcom Barcelona olympics game called Gold Medal Challenge that was the best track and field style game ever made, and a little known action racing game called Galaxy 5000.
I also got Silent Service onto the 8-bit poll on the last forum, which I'm happy about. Someone needs to remake that exact game with modern day powers. It could be seriously amazing.
TMNT 2: The Arcade GameThis was a great game, and in an unusual twist, actually had *added* content the arcade game didn't.

It's honestly taken me about this long to get over the Pronger mess.

At least Krahn walking as a UFA worked out. He got his 1 NHL game. So that sure showed Calgary.
-
If he doesn't show up in a week I can concact him through his RateYourMusic account, though I have no idea how often if at all he checks that site.

Oh, Pocklington is awful and sort of a half notch above used car salesman. Just saying he wasn't the only thing that went askew there.

You'd better be nice to him or he might snorkel out to your boat and plant a bomb on it.

I haven't changed my username since I started with it on local indy boards way back in 2000. Don't fix what ain't broken, I says. Similar opinion on my uber-ancient avatar pic; aside from briefly changing it to Akira Taue after an mind-meltingly retarded debate with Chris Coey about the aesthetics of Taue's chokeslam, you'll have to pry the same ol' Mr. Pogo pic out of my cold dead hands.
You really weren't part of the wrestling scene back in the day if you never had a retarded argument with Chris Coey.
Also, that guy was a seriously messed up asshole.

I was thinking Spin the Wheel Make a Deal.

Gmail and their constant GIVE US UR PHONE NUMBER NOW NOW NOW is some seriously ridiculous Big Brother horse shit. As long as there are alternatives they'll never be my primary.

I don't want to sound like I'm defending Grown Ups 2 but it's been a dry Summer for comedies and when it comes to Pacific Rim I feel like the thought was either A. I have no idea what this is or B. I've seen enough 'save the world' movies for a while.
I agree with what you're saying to a point. Sandler also has the non R-rated edge. We've got a choice of (depending on your size of theater) like 6 action movies to go see, but the other big comedies so far (Hangover III, This is the End, The Heat) have all been R-rated. I don't like Sandler much and his success is kind of crazy, but his studio picked a good spot for his film here.
The commercials for Pacific Rim had some great visuals (well it's Del Torro, no kidding) but I didn't see any plot beyond ROBOTS! MONSTERS! Not that I have anything against robots vs. monsters as a plot. And it's not like Grown Ups 2 really has a plot either. But there is probably something to action movie burnout this summer.
On the same front, I thought the commecials for The Heat looked really unfunny but I still would have picked it to beat White House Down which came out the same week, for basically the "comedy over action film #6" logic. White House Down looked like probably the most generic action film of the year thus far without a ton really going for it. The Heat looked like "that thing the wife made you go see because White House Down looked stupid and no one under 50 cares about The Lone Ranger" that ends up making a bunch of money.

So a couple weeks back on the Humble Bundle weekly sale some game called Rochard came up. Didn't know anything about it but got gifted it by a friend. Just getting around to it now and... man, it's pretty good.
Somewhere between The Lost Vikings and the human cutscenes from the original Starcraft lies Rochard. It's a side scrolling sci-fi puzzle game with a pretty good sense of humor (and sections where gravity inverts on you just to really mess with you) I've only got about an hour into it but so far the game is a riot. You play as this redneck space miner who runs around with a gravity lift gun moving boxes/flipping switches/shooting fools trying to work your way from one room to the next.
It's like the original Prince of Persia in space (complete with an old school running timer saying how long it takes you to get through the game! God, I miss when games actually kept score, it actually feels like a bonus feature in 2013). Definitely going to have to play through this one until the end because if the first couple levels are any indication it's a good one.

What about Hoardak?
This was the only name I thought about borrowing.
I was going to go around. Give compliments. Say nice things.

I will only support one of these movies if we get Gina Gershon to be in it.
She's done shitty made for TV disaster movies before. I shuold know, I watched just because she was in it.

R.I.P.D. cost $135 million?
My laughter is out loud.
