The Spice Girls just announced a reunion tour. Bush is refusing to hand subpoenaed documents over to Congress. Two people have been arrested in connection to the abduction of Madeleine McCann. Benoit murdering his family is now old news. Unless it comes back that Benoit was on super-kill-your-family-steroids at the time of the murders or there is a steroid-related wrestling death in the very near future, there will be no further outcry.
Spice girls are having a reunion tour? Sweet! um what were we talking about?

While I agree with everything you said, it might not be a bad thing if this pushes the WWE to really look into a steriod policy and actually attempt to enforce it. It's obvious that they're a lot of people in the wwe (and wrestling as a whole) that are using steriods. The rampant abuse of steriods(and painkillers) are whats killing the stars of the eighties in thier forties. Obviously something has to be done about it, and while this horrific event had nothing to do with steriods, it might be the one thing that really pushes steriods to the fringes of wrestling.
You're connecting dots that only form lines, not a picture. You yourself admit that steroids had nothing to do with these deaths, yet go on to say that it might purge steroid usage from wrestling. I don't see how one can lead to the other if there's no connection. That would be like me saying, "The picture fell off the wall and broke because the hook was weak. I think I'll buy a sturdier frame." One plus one isn't equaling two in this case.
I agree with what you say, what I was trying to say is that the public outcry(mainly from media sensationalism) about steriods(especially if the toxicology report comes back positive) could force the issue. It could cause the right thing to happen for the wrong reasons. While steriods isn't the cause of what happen, a majority of people will believe that it is especially with the way the media is steering the ship.

This is fucking nuts. Is it sick that I'm almost hoping somebody else in geek culture dies so we can talk about them?
What a sad occurrence. Of course, they'll look into steroids as a cause like they look into heavy metal or video games. Of course they'll condemn it all and it may even bring the world down around McMahon's shoulders (whether he deserves it or not is another debate).
The point is: steroids make you punch a wall or destroy a hotel room. Steroids don't make you tie up your wife and strangle her, place a bible next to her body and then go into a 7 year old's room hours later to do the same before hanging yourself.
He was a DEEPLY disturbed individual who clearly had some skewed view of life. He was a coward who didn't think about anyone but himself. Fuck him.
It's too goddamned bad how it will colour the view I have had of him for years as he's a wrestler as well as a man but that's unpreventable in my eyes.

Welcome to the club, The Castlevania games are really good, also there's a game called 42 all time classics which is a great way to kill a couple of minutes. Plus don't forget GBA games like the Final Fantasy advance games
I really tried to get into FF tactics advance but just couldn't. Which is strange since FF tactis for PS1 is an all time favorite of mine.
-
Or it could be really bad, personally I would rather have seen a Knights of the Old Republic type show or one set after Return
Although a Star Wars show written by Kring and Co would be awesome
I agree with everything you've said. But it leans towards the good or me as long as it means that Lucas is staying away from writing duties.
A show with the Star Wars universe centering around minor characters can be fun, especially since they won't be handicapped by trying to make it about the major players who are pretty set in their mythology.
-
I just got a DS, what are the best games on here? I picked up Advance Wars:Dual Strike as I love the series. I'm mostly into roleplaying games but i'll try anything thats good. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
-
I thought I'd resurect this thread instead of making a new one. Does anyone watch the show as it airs in The UK or should I just wait untill the show airs here in the states? There is alot of stuff i'd like to talk about but I'll wait if i'm the only one.

We as sane, rational, non-murderous people will never understand what goes through one's mind before, during and after killing someone -- especially loved ones.
Very true. Just part of me wants to make sense of it, but I know from personal experience that you never really know someone. I used to work with a guy at my old job, his name was Steve. Nice guy, never heard him raise his voice. He had two kids a newborn and a four year old. I, at the time had my son who too was a newborn, we had dozens of conversations about our kids. When his newborn was around six months, he had died due to S.I.D.S. A few months later he strangled his four year old, and it turns out he smothered his baby, just because he wanted to go to sleep and the baby was crying. It's just a really fucked up world sometimes.

****Spoilers****
The only warning you'll get from me.
We never found out how Doom came back, even though everyone kept asking him.
When the Surfer flew over Latavia the Cosmic radiation that he was emiting is what brought him back. I really liked it, it was a fun little movie. Though I really couldn't see reed dancing in a club, especially without Sue.
-
I saw it yesterday, it was eh. It had it's moments but some stuff was a little too 'yeah right'.
-
It's been three years, and he hasn't taken over the world yet?
Kid. Stop slacking.
Evidently he's still bulking up. Once he looks like a mini-hulk it's on!
-
Because he very clearly wasn't planning on going to jail. He wanted to be found.
I dunno, the whole thing just leaves me scratching my head in disbelief. Still though he texts it four times, that is just strange. Why bother sending the ones about the dogs, since it seems like he let them out?
-
Yeah those text's don't make any sense. If you killed people, as premediatedly as it sounds, why text the location of where the bodies are?WWE.com has posted a complete update regarding Benoit and a timeline for the recent tragic events. Benoit was scheduled to be in Beaumont, Texas on Saturday June 23rd.However, WWE made alternative plans for Benoit and another flight was booked so that he could work the Vengeance PPV. When WWE employees tried to contact Benoit regarding his travel plans they were unable to contact him.
Early Sunday morning, between 3:51 and 3:58 a.m., Benoit sent five text messages to co-workers:
Text Message 1 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53 a.m.) - Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”
Text Message 2 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53 a.m.) - Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open”
Text Message 3 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:54 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”
Text Message 4 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:55 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215"
Text Message 5 to one co-worker (sent 6/24 at 3:58 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”
At 12:30 p.m. on Monday, June 25, WWE officials were notified of the text messages sent to the co-workers the previous day. By 12:45 p.m., WWE had contacted Fayetteville County Sheriff’s office requesting they check on the Benoit family.
That's really strange. I can't imagine his state of mind at the time, or if he even knew who he was talking to.
-
The image is small, but you can clearly see that his thigh muscle is huge!
Damn! He's got bigger muscles than I do...
-
Eh...I wanted to see how the vampires looked...
-
Yeah I was worried about what they would do with Galactus, but the rest of the movie looks like fun.
-
Yea this cast sounds pretty good.
-
Yeah, Sylar is merely in the sewer. He never ate the brain of a shapeshifter from what I know.
Sylar had killed about quite a few people when his character is first mentioned, but the only power they show him have is the tk and ice powers. It's very possible that he has powers that he rarely used.
I thought it was evident that Peter couldn't fly with any semblance of control. Remember when Claude threw him off the building?He flew well when he saved Claude from Bennett and the Haitian.
I think Kensei is Hiro's dad...Hiro's story was great in this episode, especially the "You look badass" part. Ando is the perfect foil. I think I may be right in assuming the eclipse in 1671 started this whole powers mess. Or, is that one of Kensei's powers? -
I just wrote this humor story for another forum, but I thought I'd share it here. Tell me what you guys think.
Peter Parker and Clark Kent are sitting in a booth in the VIP section. The bar is a bit more crowded then Clark really cares for, as a matter of fact he was sure it was over it’s capacity and is a potential fire hazard. Tomorrow he’ll have to report it.
“Hey! Hey! Are you even listening to me?” Peter asks slightly annoyed.
“Kind of hard not to” Clark says with a roll of his eyes.
“Well like I was saying, you don’t wear a mask right, but no one realizes that your Supe-.” Clark gives him a quick stare and Pete could see his eyes turning red. “Right and the worst part is you’re a reporter, you work with reporters. People who’s job it is to dig and uncover the truth and they can’t tell that your…” Peter catches himself before saying the word “Ahem um him” Clark was about to respond when Matt Murdock came over to the table. Using his cane to ‘find’ a seat next to Pete.
“Hey Matt here is blind and even he can see that you’re the ’boy scout’ ” Pete made the quotation marks with his hands as he said boy scout.
“How many times have I told you not to make fun of my disability? He’s right though it’s pretty obvious.” Matt says as he grabs the pitcher a pours a glass of beer.
“You forgot to play blind” Pete says with a smile. Matt lets out a sigh. Pete could be a real jackass at times.
“I thought Bruce was going to be here” Matt says as he takes a sip of his beer.
“He had some work to do” Clark says
“Work? Man all he ever does is work. He is a candidate for going postal the way he stresses. I can totally see him one day walking into Arkham and just unloading a Uzi in that place. All work and no play” Pete says with a smile. Matt chuckled a little but Clark sat there quietly.
“You know there’s nothing wrong with a little hard work. You should try it sometime” Clark says.
Pete just clutched his chest and said “Oww that really hurt my feelings…sniff…sniff” Clark just scowls at Pete as Matt looks up quickly and smells the air.
“Logan’s here” Matt says taking another sip.
“Well duh even I could smell him. I mean really you’d think a man with enhanced senses would bathe regularly” Pete says and both Matt and Clark laughed at that. Logan walks over to the table puffing away at his cigar.
“Hey Bub my enhanced senses include hearing” Logan says taking a puff and sits down next to Clark. Pete just shrugged.
“What are you going to do? Scratch me with your paws?” Pete says with a chuckle. Logan growls as reaches over grabs the pitcher of beer and starts to drink it while leaving the cigar in his mouth.
“That’s just gross, and have you ever heard of sharing? Like seriously I’m not splitting the bill if you drink all the beer again.” Pete says annoyingly. Logan raises his free hand and pops his middle claw.
“Aww man that’s really clever like I haven’t seen that before” Pete says with a roll of his eyes. A man in a well dressed suit walks over and stands in front of Logan.
“Excuse me Sir but there is no smoking in this establishment. So please could you put that out?” The man says nicely. Logan finishes the last of the pitcher lets out a loud bleach. Both Matt and Clark quickly cover their noses. Logan looks at the man puts up his fist and pops all of his claws. The tip of his claws stop right before the man’s chin.
“Bub I think you’ll make an exception for me” Logan says staring the man down.
“Um…well…yes, yes of course” the gentlemen says hastily and backs away.
“I’m the best at what I do!” Logan says with a smile.
“And what you do is get bad haircuts. I mean really what the hell is that? The guy from Flock of Seagulls had a better hairdo then that” Pete says as Logan just scowls at him.
“Hey Matt isn’t it the worst haircut you have ever seen?” Pete says and Matt just starts tapping his fingers on the table.
“You know Logan you really should put that cigar out” Clark says to Logan in a stern voice.
“Watch it Boy scout before I rip you a new one” Logan says with a grunt.
“Dude your claws aren’t cutting his skin. He’s freaking invincible!” Pete says and Clark nods with a little smile.
“Wanna bet?” Logan says cockily
“Hell yeah! I’ll bet my part of the bill.” Pete says
“I want in on this. If you cut his skin I’ll pay for your share next week” Matt says
“Yeah Logan I’ll take that bet” Clark says
“Hmph free beers and a chance to cut big blue you chumps are on.” Logan says. Clark puts his hand on the table Logan pops his middle claw and slams his fist straight down on Clarks hand. His Claw just bent back and didn’t even leave a mark on Clark’s hand. Logan lifts his hand and stares at it with his mouth wide open. His Cigar drops on his lap and starts to burn his pants. Everyone at the table bust up laughing.
“Dude that’s priceless! ” Pete says still laughing his ass off . The cigar starting a small fire on Logan’s pants, but Logan was still awestruck and wasn’t paying it any mind. Clark quickly opens his mouth and blows a short burst of ice breath at Logan’s pants. Putting out the fire and freezing Logan from his stomach to his knees. Which made both Pete and Matt laugh harder.
“Do you want me to bend it back?” Clark says to Logan trying to hide his smile. Logan scowled for a bit then cursed a little under his breath.
“Yeah” he says with a deal of anger.
“Uh-oh you better watch out Clark he might do a berserker barrage and get all of his claws bent” Pete says laughing so hard that he almost fell off of his chair.
“Well first you have to agree not to smoke on our night outs” Clark says with a smile.
“Grrr…fine…” Logan says
“Second you have to address me as Sir” Clark says prompting more laughter from Pete.
Logan let out another grunt then reluctantly nodded.
“I’m sorry what was that?” Clark asks
“Yes fine whatever” Logan says
“Yes what?” Clark asks.
“Grrrrr Yes Sir” Logan says
“Grr I’m the best at what I do!” Pete says imitating Logan “And what I do is get owned by Superman!”

I've heard that Donner's Cut is better from several people. Zod is made to look downright brutal
Who wait there's another version where Zod is even more badass? Sign me up for that!

Piper, who in my opinion is wrestling's greatest heel of all time and star of They Live and the upcoming Sin-Jin Smyth, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (a better outlook than non-Hodgkinsa apparently). The prognosis looks good and I know he'll kick cancer's ass.
Much love to Mr. Piper and best wishes for a full recovery.
Your damn straight he'll kick cancer's ass, because he's all out of bubble gum...
-
The mind-wiping goes hand-in-hand with the negation, because in both cases he's taking something away: memories and (temporarily) powers.
I'm thinking he's a telepath with Xavier level power maybe.

Aww schnapp, I knew that too and just didn't think about it at posting time! Good work with the correction.
That does remind me of the old cartoon series. I was fond of it. Radd decides to find only suitable planets without the intelligent life.
Was that what he did in the comics too, or did he just sacrifice himself for his planet's intelligent life?
I don't actually recall ever reading a definitive origin/transformation tale for SS. If somebody could name books for such a tale, I'd love to look it up.
From what I recall he sacrificed himself became his herald and in exchange Galactus didn't munch on his world. Didn't Terrax became a herald then gave the ok to Galactus to feast on his homeworld?
-
Yeah well if it sucks as hard as last stand did then I would be happy that they don't make another.

Spoilers for you americans who arent on the ball.
The turning point was Human Nature, the episode where he becomes human to escape the family of blood. Every episode from that point is great. Yeah when I first saw Blink, it had become my favorite ep of the new who...until The sound of Drums. I really like who they got to play the Master, and I like the whole Joker/Dr. Doom mix of a character he is. The season finale looks great!
