  1. Any creative types want to do an R-Truth on KyKy, but with king regalia like a crown, scepter, robe, etc? I just had him win KOTR in my game and now I want him to believe he's a real king.

    How about that?

    I like it! Thanks.

  2. I apologize if this problem has already been brought up or if I'm doing something stupid that I don't realize, but I haven't been on this board in a long time.

    Anyways, I've been having problems getting this update to work. I'm trying to start a WWE game and whenever I apply the data, I go to my Staff and all their morale is set to 0. And all their contracts need renewed too, which with the 0 morale makes it hard. I tried Arsenic but couldn't get the Staff editor to work, and even if I did, I wouldn't want to do that for every single staff member. I also noticed that certain roster members had 0 months left on their contracts. And some title histories were a bit messed up. I've probably tried this updated a total of 5 times over 2 different save slots and I keep getting the same result. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

    I'm guessing you pressed CTRL + ALT + DEL while the game is loading, or clicked it repeatedly to the point it quit responding. These modern updates take a LONG time to load. I have a laptop that I purchased a few months ago with an Intel CORE i5 and 8 GB of RAM, and it still takes a few minutes to load a new game. You need to let the game load without trying to bypass it in any way. Just leave your computer on and let it load - do something else, like watch TV or make a sandwich or something - give it time to load. It will eventually. You shouldn't have a problem if you aren't stopping it.

    I know I've never CTRL + ALT + DEL though I have clicked a few times. But the first time I ran it, I let it go untouched. Would a screen saver popping on interfere with the game loading? That's the only thing I can think of.

    EDIT - Tried again and shut off my screen saver and browsers just to make sure. Still getting the same result. The game looks like it starts up fine, I just get all these errors (Staff morale at 0, certain contracts at 0 months, ticket prices at $0) after I load the update.

    You're letting it load completely? You're not trying to close it when it says not responding?

    Yep. I don't touch EWR until the game loads.

  5. I noticed that a good chunk of the movies they have on dvd are pre-viewed and repackaged, rather than new dvds. Weird.

    I didn't notice that but what I did notice were that there were a few DVDs in slim-cases, making me think that they were taken out of a box set. Not to mention my Big Lots had no season sets of anything.

  6. This thread, as well as a similar one on the Wrestlecrap forum, gave me the urge to go to Big Lots for the first time in a long time. And while they had a crapton of DVDs for $3 each, most of them were just that: crap. However, I was able to get a good amount of Asian flicks, including The Executioner (Sonny Chiba), Blood Brothers (produced by John Woo), Gen-X Cops and Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters, as well as the American horror flick Slither, which I probably could have gotten for a few bucks more at Wal-Mart's bargain bin. Yeah, most of the stuff could either be found at Wal-Mart or wasn't even good enough for that (mine had a lot of random Spanish flicks and cheap anime series, but not whole sets) but I still got 5 movies for $15.

  7. I gotta admit, I really didn't mind that Confide song. Sure, I haven't heard the original song and the singer isn't the greatest, but overall, I've heard worse. Of course, it would make more sense if they filmed the drummer actually drumming instead of having an epileptic fit. And really, I'm getting sick of this whole trend of ugly skinny dudes with long hair wearing v-necks and cursive neck tats. I hate to say it, but I liked it better when the kids were wearing makeup and had streaks in their hair. At least they looked like they had some sense of fashion, however aborted it may be.

  8. I'll be honest, the only metal album I've really listened to this year, other than "Crack The Skye" is Cattle Decapitation's "The Harvest Floor". I've been meaning to get Agoraphobic Nosebleed's newest album but I can't find it anywhere around here.



  9. Techno/hip-hop/new wave act Hyper Crush just released their second mix tape and holy crap is it awesome! I'm not even halfway through it and I'm loving it. You can't go wrong with something with an intro with clips from The Wizard that goes into a song about Street Fighter. Go get it at HyperCrush.com (just click the "Mixtape 2: Free Download" button, don't worry about filling out the form, it's just for the mailing list).
  10. Police Officer, any action movie. Do all sorts of crazy stunts, kill a shitload of terrorists, save the day at the last second and get the girl (who's usually a 9 or better. Hell I'd take two 7's if it comes down to it.). Even when there are a dozen lunatics with AK47's and you have a pistol, you know that you're going to kill all of them and only take a single bullet to the arm or shoulder along with a couple of cuts and scratches that will make you look even more badass.

    Movie Police Officer = All sorts of win.

    I don't know. I'd prefer "eccentric German billionaire" myself.

  11. I attempted a website full of reviews/rants a few years back but it never really got off the ground. My musical tastes, while diverse compared to what's popular, are pretty narrow (mainly metal, some random techno-ish stuff). However, if this were movie reviews, I'd be all over it.

  12. I really don't get Ryno's comments to be fair...I mean, everyone to their own opinion, but the general feeling always seems to be that it's "Amputecture" that has ridiculous amounts of 'wankery' and 'jamming' for no apparent reason. In fact that's what annoyed me the most about the album, and I just haven't been able to get into it. "Frances The Mute" on the otherhand (which I adore), the most common complaint seems to be there's too many sections where 'not enough' happens, and there's the bits with the ridiculous static etc...but "Frances..." to me is easily their best album, if I want to listen to some Mars Volta I tend to go to "De-Loused..." but if I have time to listen to/appreciate an album, it's always straight to "Frances...". I adore the way it builds, how everything's so intricately put together, gorgeous.

    "Amputecture" had far too much wankery, "Bedlam..." was a return to the shorter song structure that I really appreciated, but the songs were fucking shit. This album is a lot more chilled out, and absolutely gorgeous, a definite return to form.

    Oh don't get me wrong, Amputecture had plenty of wankery. But I don't know if it was how it was planned but it seemed like they would do a solid song on one track then leave the wankery for the next one, making it easy to skip over if I don't want to hear it. Frances, on the other hand, if I wanted to listen to a song (of which there were only 4), I had to either wait through 15 minutes of static and random crap, or hold on the Fast Forward button for a good couple minutes. I do like Frances, but listening to it all the way through became quite the chore.

  13. Is it out today?

    I listened to a few tracks on their website and dug it but didn't blow my mind. But I liked Amputecture and what I heard just sounded like a continuation. The more I listened to Frances The Mute, the more I hated it because it was just "Hey, lets do four good songs and then a bunch of random noodling for 10-15 minutes inbetween them!" With Amputecture, I felt that the random wankery was cut to a minimum and the focus was back on the song structure.

  14. It's not even that I hate Shia Lebeouff, I hate that they're not giving me a choice whether or not to like him considering he's in EVERY FUCKING MOVIE. Spielberg apparently sees him as the next big thing, so hopefully he can cultivate some talent and we'll have a Leonardo DiCaprio situation where Shia actually turns out to be a damn good actor. If not, we're looking at the next Matthew McConaughey - some douchebag that Hollywood keeps forcing upon us.

    I feel the exact same way about Seth Rogan. I don't care if he is funny. The fact that he's in about every other movie lately just kills it for me. And I'm starting to feel the same way about Elizabeth Banks as well, which sucks because I think she's super talented. But she's wasting her talents in crap that she doesn't need to be in.

  15. I got pretty mad at my new phone, which has an mp3 player, that whenever you go to an album, it lists the songs in alphabetical order instead of the order it actually is on the album. There has to be a way to fix it but I have yet to find it.

    I'm not so much OCD about the song collection on my computer as the bulk of it is random downloaded crap I don't care about. But my CD collection is another story as it's alphabetized by artist then in chronological order by album. I used to have my DVD collection organized by genre as well but I had so many DVDs and not enough shelf place to put them that I kinda gave up on that.

    Rename them to 01. Track Name, 02. Track Name?

    I tried this with my next batch of CDs I imported to my phone, but it's still doing them in alphabetical order. I went through all the menus and can't find a way to change it to do it in original order.

  17. Been thinking about getting this since my roommate's girlfriend bought it. I tried the first Sims for about an hour and wrote it off for being too tedious. But since I'm a sucker for any game with fully customizable anything, I'm really debating getting it. But I should be saving my money considering my car's in the shop now and I'm planning a trip to Indianapolis in August.

    Anyways, I went to CanYouRunIt (thanks by the way for letting me know such a site exists) but I got this:

    CPU

    Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [if built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent].

    You Have: Intel® Celeron® D CPU 3.46GHz

    Am I stupid or something because I fail to see how this is a fail. Everything else passed, which I'm kinda surprised since my only point of contention was the video since I don't have a video card. But apparently my mobo alone has enough video to support it.

    Finally, read this article. Only made me want the game more.
