A few more matches. I'm a maniac at this point. Other dudes started playing and nobody has beaten my Steve. I'm on such a victory high on these dudes that I start feeling dizzy and out-of-it. Kinda like I was gonna pass out, so I tell the guys I'm gonna take a rest. Shit calms down and a moment after that one of the girls says, "Now now, Don't get too cocky"... just being sarcastic and playful, and I laughed, BUT the girl from before says right after that "Too bad the skinny punk couldn't win in a real fight against any of these guys" ... and let this laugh that characterized her in full; it sounded like a pig squealing while being tickled and boiled in a vat of grease.
And maybe I was just not giving a fuck, and I was just feeling real dizzy and out of it too, which could've been from something else, but I looked at her and I was as honest as possible, i was all "you look and sound like a pig when you laugh" and she rose up!! (everybody is like OOOOOHHHHH typically) and if any of you have ever met me IRL, you know that I am not the most threatening person in the world and this obese cunt trying to choke me out, doing some like weird like JUDO BRUCE LEE KENSHIN FU karate shit on me must have looked pretty funny chasing me around the room and all this kind of nonsense, cause everyone was cracking up instead of helping my ass from the stampeding whore - I wanted to clock this bitch out, do the vulcan neck chop on her to tranquilize the wild cow but her mass would have out-matched mine so she just chased me around the apt. for like 5 minutes i'm screaming apologies trying to get her to calm down. 'ventually her useless pals took her outside and they smoked cigarettes or something, did what severely emotionally disturbed girls do. Whatever.

35 years ago, before cable, before the internet, before good porn, a trip to the moon couldn't even make it on TV.
And people complain about today's short attention span? Today people have issues with knowing what is important? All that other shit that old people say? Men on the mother fucking moon, and NBC would rather run some show that no one remembers today?
If NASA flew a man to the moon today, you know there would be a whole cable chan (NASATV) devoted to the whole trip. You could probably stream the thing live on the internet. On top of that, I bet millions of people would!
If so, does anyone have a link to that?

I never imagined a PS2 game could look this good, and have seamless loading to boot. Fucking rock on.
For the record, I thought DMC was good but not great. GoW on the other hand fucking owns me. It's so responsive that owning bad guys gives me wood. =(

about a year ago i saw a music video by I _think_ Neil Diamond, singing a new(?) song. He was in a white room, with a circle stage, and...thats pretty much all i remember. That, and that it was 100% badass.
I totally forget what the name of the song was or if it was even Neil Diamond. I've spent the last hour going through his albums on iTunes without any luck.
Please please please someone help me :(
It's really annoying because when you talk you hear a sort of echo of your own voice.

Do all HDTV's scale up the 480i signal. Are there HDTV's (I guess tube based) that will display a old 480i signal interlaced, instead of always scaling it to 480p, 1080i or whatever.
