There was always one kid that got there early, paid his 50 cents and never had to pay the rest of the time he was there because he was that good, and whooped everyones butt. My ex college roomate was like that. He had a 100+ page printout of every move you could do on Killer Instinct and he memorized that thing. Yes. I remember being good enough to beat the other kids my age, then someone 16 year old would get on and destroy me. I kinda miss spending countless hours at the arcade.

Went to see The Wrestler last night, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought Rourke was phenomenal in his role. And everything in the movie worked perfectly IMO. As a wrestling fan, the behind the scenes stuff was a nice touch.

I don't think the WWE's product is strong enough to have an off-season. Sure they have their "brands" and they could have different off-seasons but with them not allowing to take indy bookings, it'll be hard for some of the younger guys to make a name for themselves. Shadows has the right idea with there only being Raw & Smackdown shows. That or i'd lmit the amount of house shows that takes place.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 08:27 PM) I don't get why someone hasn't come up with the brilliant idea to put arcade games on the Wii (with original arcade graphics, not that Turtles II NES port). Three games I'd pay honestly any amount for would be: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I see XBLA has this, dammit, too bad would honestly love it on the Wii. F***!) The Simpsons Arcade Game X-Men: Arcade Honestly... myself and 3 others, I could see us playing these games all night with pizza delivery and all that jazz. It'd be so fun. I guarantee these would be high sellers. I remember going to the arcade and wasting tokens upon tokens on all of these games.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 08:05 PM) This is a fact. Please get me some of the stuff you're smoking down there in Normal. It appears to be great stuff.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) Sexy WWE Diva! I was pretty sure what this was before the toolbar told me the url at the bottom of my browser. You're a bad man Brian. In addition to Raw in 2 weeks, Chicago also gets the Judgment Day PPV in May.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 01:12 PM) The worst part about getting my wisdom teeth out was the gauze not doing anything to help stop the bleeding. I ended up putting some paper towel back there and dried that stuff up fast. Sounds off, but it worked. The gauze didn't work too well for me either. I remember being woken up by a friend and being told there was a trail of blood down the side of my face and a small stain on my Sox WS champs shirt. Needless to say, like a true fan I was only worried about the shirt.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) I'm not sure my iPod was designed by engineers. Seems like maybe it was designed by sales or marketing people. Or maybe retarded mountain goats. Why on earth did they decide to design the iPod without the ability to restart it? Or shut it down? I cannot think of another piece of electronic equipment made by ANYONE that you cannot shut down/restart. Seriously. Seems basic, doesn't it? So, my iPod is frozen, sort of. If I hit a button, the screen is just solid white. After a while, it fades to black, like it normally would. I plug it into my computer, and it says everything is normal. Sees all the files. Just the display is f***ed. So, you'd think I'd want to restart thing. But, alas, in all their wisdom, the engineers at Apple didn't feel that anyone should need to restart their iPods. And since its not frozen with the screen on, its going to take for f***ing ever for this thing to wear down the battery, so that I can restart it. It will take days, or weeks. Drives me up a wall. Hmmm. You know you can restart them correct? Sometimes it helps to read the instruction manual...or even use google....

QUOTE (TheBlackSox8 @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 01:30 PM) False, currently unemployed I need opposite. The person below me hasn't stuck to their new year resolution. False...I just haven't started it yet. The person below me wishes they could go to summer camp again.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 03:15 AM) Unless something drastically happens in the next three days, (and by that I mean if everything goes right) I will have to quit my job and move back in with my mom... Tough blow my man, hope everything works out for ya.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) You can tell they are setting up for the return of Christian on Smackdown. I could see Jeff Hardy vs. Christian at Mania. As could I. If I were to book the angle, I'd have Christian make his return at the Rumble (if he signs in time). He'd screw Hardy out of the title, setting up such a match.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 12:59 AM) True The person below me has played pond hockey within the past year. False. The person below me needs a vacation.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) Yet Florida loses to Ole f***ing Miss and gets in...AT FLORIDA?! Yeah, but that's okay, right? When Florida appears to have a tougher schedule, yes. When that same Ole Miss team waxes Texas Tech like they did today, yes. You're a USC fan, of course you're gonna think your squad deserves a piece of the pie. Quite frankly they'd have to get in line behind Texas and/or Utah.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 11:06 PM) The only team that can beat USC is USC. Honestly, everytime they play a good team they kick their ass. When they lose, it's because of a lack of focus. USC should hold some of the title. USC shouldn't of lost to Oregon St. if they wanna be involved in talks of sharing the title.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 06:57 AM) It's......The Paulie Awards!!! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport...icle2083736.ece I'd have liked him to call them the Paul E. Awards, but that's splitting hairs. I agree with just about all of this. I wish I had the money to start a small promotion, he'd get the first call to help me run it. Well not money wise... Long story short, he needs to get back into wrestling.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 11:32 AM) 100% true. The person below me hates when pranks are pulled on them. True. The person below me enjoys watching bowl games.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 01:02 AM) There was an article somewhere(can't remember where) basically stating the Pats were considering it because of Brady and they are also thinking about doing it and then trading him. I don't know if that would be legal or not as I'm not familiar with the NFL's CBA. I believe the way it works is that once they place the franchise tag on Cassel, it just means that they have exclusive rights to negotiate with him. He can take the one year deal or they can offer a multi-year dear. Or they can trade him but they get 2 draft picks out of the deal.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 10:45 AM) False, since I made none. The person below me has already broken a 2009 resolution. False....technically i've never started. The person below me has big plans for the weekend.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 1, 2009 -> 11:54 PM) False, not in years. The person bellow me didn't get something he really, really wanted for X Mas. True...no one could find the box set of "The Wire" The person below me made new years resolutions

I'm hungry.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 1, 2009 -> 08:09 AM) False and False. Low key is the only way to go. The person below me will not be watching the Winter Classic today. True...I didn't. The person below me puked this morning from having too much fun last night.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 31, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) The Cubs now have Bradley and Zambrano in the same clubhouse. Consider that for a minute. I smell sitcom....
