You're on heroin.

One of the Smackdown game specifically directs a statement thanking internet wrestling fans in one of their credits. One of the WGU staffers (basically, their answer to me) shot back with a long rant on why THQ and customer satisfaction should never be combined. Since then, WGU ideas have popped up in Smackdown games. Is the head of THQ trolling the WGU forums looking for game ideas? Obviously not. But THQ is not like WWE where everyone answers to Vince. It's more like WCW, commitees, boards, levels of management. Did someone who works at THQ used to be a wrestling fan, see an idea on the board, and suggest it in a meeting? Possibly. With each new game they hire a new crop of staff and if people are interested in a project like a wrestling game and THQ isn't hiring, the chances of them hearing about WGU are decent. And what wrestling game are they gonna poach from? KOC is too slow. Def Jam Vendetta is a cheap copy with gameplay on crack speed and flash over substance. Legends of Wrestling isn't widely accepted as a good game. What's left?

No you weren't agreeing with me, you were trying to prove that THQ is a development house. I never said that they weren't, but they are primarily a second rate liscense pushing publishing house, and second a bad platformer poorly managed crappy game assembly line of a development house. This is old, I'm tired of getting in arguements with people and they then say "I was agreeing with you, don't get so defensive, omgwtf" when it's clear they have no idea what they are talking about and just want me to lay off on the verbal annihilation. But at the end of the day I'm not saying that THQ is low or sneaky. I'm saying that PWX made a mistake by being overly optimistic about putting out some competition for WWE games, and that when their futures started to show up in the Smackdown series, they went hush hush. You said "unlik this PWX gay THQ putz out gamez OMGWTF", which was a stupid flaimebaiting statement considering a lot of people here are sick of second rate crap with a WWE logo in the corner. To come back and say "I don't want an arguement, you're the troll" is just a cheap self defense mechanism like a corset. No one cares how much you push up your breasts when your face looks like you got run over by a mack truck. Nor does anyone care that you agree with me when you were already to argue with me before I clearly demonstrated you are clueless and I am way out of your league. And it's good that you couldn't care less about my insults. Maybe it will prevent you from replying since we agree and you don't care? I doubt it but heres to hoping.

Thunder had some good features. The ability to change stables with the push of a button and have it change both the attire and the interfering members was wicked. Shame the gameplay sucked.

Oh my god. I weep for the human race sometimes, and this is one of them.

Pistons in 6, just to piss of Naiwf

Harry Potter got pregnant? IT'S MAGIC!

That comeback was incredibly lame. Home Alone 2? The SNES? What have you done for me lately? Oh yeah, I'm sorry, there are some games released by Cranky Pants Games. OMG I AM SO DEAD WRONG. Pro Wrestling X didn't close down because they were pissed off at Yukes, they closed down because the only good things Yukes added to their game came straight off the PWX feature list. Thus, the obscurity, the silence, the low profile until they can present a game which is more then just speculation ripe for the poaching. It was a self-defense motion done to preserve the originallity of their work. This, by the way, is what we like to call an educated guess. To know what one of those is, you would need some form of education. Since you have no idea how business works, I am guessing you washed out of pre-school. And congrats on the double post. Maybe next time you should try the edit button, ecspecially since both of your posts are smaller then my original idea. Or here's a wild thought. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE AN UNIMFORMED TROLL JUST DON'T POST. A novel idea, I say. Do you know what a novel is? Maybe you should go read one where the good guys win, because as long as you systematically ignore the parts of my posts that you can't spin into a malformed approximation of a rebuttal, I will continue to decimate what I laughingly refer to as your arguement.

You're an idiot, but that's really nothing new or interesting so I will comment on why in this instance your idiocy is newsworthy. THQ releases games. Well, this is true, it is true in a no-shit sherlock fashion. THQ is a publishing house. Although it mascarades as a development house, it does so poorly. Natural THQ projects tend to swallow penis for fun and profit. Moreover, THQ publishes bad games with good liscenses. This is what THQ does to make money. It allows companies like Yukes, AKI, to make bad games, as long as they have a prominent liscense which will draw fanboyz. Here's an example of some of the "interesting" games coming from THQ! SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: THE BATTLE FOR BIKINI BOTTOM. FEATURING "CRAZY~!2K4!!!!" manuevers like TONGUE BOARDING AND UNDERWEAR BUNGEE JUMPING. AN UNINSPIRED PLATFORMER WITH "CRAZY~!2K4!!!!!!11111" FEATURES AND A LICENSE SLAPPED ON TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO BUY IT!!!!!!1111111???? FINDING NEMO! FEATURING THOSE "WACKY~!2K4!!!@@@#" CHARAKTERZ FROM THE MOVIE, AND 15 WHOLE LEVELS. BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW PLAYING GAMES FOR OVER AN HOUR INSTEAD OF TAKING IT OUT WHEN YOU'RE DONE YOUR 30 MINUTE QUEST AND BUYING ANOTHER $60 GAME FROM THQ~!2K4 IS FOR NERDS! LONG GAMES WITH NO LICENSES ARE FOR NERDS AND VIRGINS. DON'T BE A SQUARE, BUY THIS GAME. I won't go on. As a side note the games each touched 3 companies before they even got to to THQ. The most interesting game they have is Stalker, which they didn't make. Their highest seller is undoubtedly their WWE games, which suprisingly enough, they don't make. Are you starting to get the picture here? THQ DOES NOT MAKE GAMES. They sell and release games. Now, what Pro-Wrestling X was trying to do was trying to become a full-fledged development house. This is difficult, of course. It requires money. Money is hard to come by in a down economy, ecspecially when your team is in two countires and your first product is going to be creating a wrestling game with no liscense. Check the sales of Def Jam Vendetta or Legends of Wrestling against those of Smackdown, Smackdown won despite being the most underdevoled liscense whoring piece of shit in history. If you don't believe me, wait for Matzat, he'll tell you. What attracts a publisher is a license, because you can make a game that kicks seven shades of Shaq's black ass, and it's not going to sell without a license. If you want you only need to go back to the days of the Saturn/N64/Sony war. Sony won, why? Because they threw huge money at the NFL and MLB, and you couldn't see MLB teams and stadiums on N64 or Saturn. Ditto with the NFL. The NFLPA and MLBPA were more accomodating but in the end, who won? Sony. Because people aren't going to care about the Shawinigen Sharks when they could be playing as the Montreal Expos. No one is going to play as the Los Angeles Stars when they could play as the Oakland Raiders. And the bottom line is that both the Quarterback Club games and Sony's World Series baseball series were superior games that didn't sell without a license. Now, there is one way to attract a publisher without a license, and that's to invent a completely original gameplay concept. Look at Shiny. They came up with the Earthworm Jim games, and when they hit the market Interplay was all over them. They threw money and licenses at them like Sycodmn throws dollar bills at a California hooker. They got the fucking Matrix liscense for Christs sake, despite the fact that their most sucessful game to that point was MDK, and to call MDK a sleeper hit would be generous. Now, Pro Wrestling X has a good idea, to come out with a game that surpasses Smackdown in gameplay to the point where license becomes irrelevant. But they opened themselves up to fan discussion and suggestion, and since they began Smackdown has had two games released, both of which have liberally incorporated suggestions made to the PWX community and pandered to the internet wrestling community despite delivering gameplay that insults their intelligence, much in the same way WWE booking insults their fans intelligence. Now, as much as I appreciate your uninformed trolling, maybe you should ease off on it, because it will eventually grow tiresome if you answer IWC's legitimate questions about a site he once supported openly with snide self-serving commentary and I continually destroy your half formed thoughts that come out as fully posted comments. Thank you, goodnight. Edit: That was obviously not directed at Kaya. And I was unaware they were still pubklishing their newsletter, on account of losing it three email adresses ago.

The worst part is that the Olsen twins are revoltingly bland. OMG BLOND TWINS IN BIKINIS~! Stop the presses. And all of this sitting around and waiting for random celebrity to turn 18 is a symptom of an American culture that is more and more about the next hot flash. Talent is irrelevant, as long as they look good. Let's wait until they're old enough for B teen horror films with brief nudity, or follow them around and post pictures of them popping out on the internet. Because, as you might know, contributing to society with a productive or meaningful existence is a waste of time when you jack off over 16 year old girls.

Yeah but just last night Ken Holland said no the Brett Hull

With Brett Hull not being offered a contract with the Wings, I could see him playing in this new fangled league.

Chances are they've closed it to the public because THQ poaches their ideas.

Playstation. Which means it'll probably have the most features and adaptability.

Wow. Marcus Naslund looks fucking amazing. But that's not suprising, because NHL always goes for style over substance. Each year the graphics look better while the game... not so much. ESPN has been the superior series 2 years running, NHL had better make some changes if they want my money. Again.

Do the world a favor and enjoy a buckshot sandwhich, Pacavelli.

My guess is because the crossover appeal presented them both with a massive profit oppurtunity.

Uh..... if he's buying himself anime and saying that your GBA is too expensive, he's being selfish. Kick him in the testes.

Buck Star needs someone to write for him. He's not all that nervous which showed with his click click click on the final performance he did. He obviously has the dedication, he's just not that funny. "You might ask why a surfer is in Boston... well I'm not just a surfer, I'm a stoner dudes..." Horrible.

I say in protest we go into HMV and give them a urine sample

The bottom line is that the League protects itself by ensuring that American teams recieve an investment in their money. No one in Canada is going to shell out millions of dollars for TV contracts for European football. No one in America is going to shell out millions of dollars for TV contracts for Canadian hockey. They need American teams, to root for, American teams to hate. They need Canadian teams to hate. A year or two ago it was looking like the Leafs and the Canucks had a chance to press through to the finals. It was then estimated, on local radio, that the NHL would lose 40 million dollars in television revenue if an American team did not make the final. As it was the American teams were simply better and got in but it was one of the worst finals in recent history. Anaheim is not a hockey market. Look at them this year. And New Jersey, despite having a rich owner, isn't either. They can't even sell out playoff games. How fucking pathetic is that. You want to see bad TV performance? Take two American markets who could give a shit about hockey and put them in the finals. Oh yeah, don't forget to interrupt the games to advertise the NBA Finals, which won't even be on for a week, with a commercial that features the Black Eyed Peas and a host of Celebrity cameos and probably cost more then the entire NHL season did. Canada is a hockey market. As much as you might say Canada has small market teams... you have it backwards. Canada has poor market teams. The amount of fans is much, mugh higher then the majority of American cities. The only thing holding them back is the Canadian dollar.

Well, MatthewGood.net is streaming two songs for free off of the album. Go check it out, and watch the video for Weapon while you're there. Come on and support Canadian music, or I'll have you deported.

White Light Rock and Roll Review. All one title. http://www.maplemusic.com/product.asp?dept...=565-29&lang=EN

I want the Canucks to give me a fucking Stanley Cup before I move to the States, but I see them goating it and missing the playoffs this year.

White Light Rock and Roll Review is out on the 9th I believe. I'd buy that. No disrespect to Velvet Revolver. Edit: Errrr... Velvet Underground? I need to read more.
