ROC

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (GEN) 8/10 Take Puyo Puyo and add the STH TV show characters and you have this game. This is an addicting puzzle game but it is hard.

NBA Street Vol. 2 (GCN) 9/10 The best basketball arcade game since NBA Jam. Period.

Hardball '95 (GEN) 7/10 The only game I know of from the 16 bit era with a team editor.

Am I wrong or this possibly the best 16-bit game series ever? This game has the best music, design, and gameplay, IMO, in the 16-bit era and is single handedly the reason why I play the Genesis (although, I did want to play College Football USA '96, but that's only because I'm too cheap to buy NCAA Football). Anyways, my favorite in the series is Sonic 2. It kinda holds symbolism for me as it is the first game I ever played and the first game I ever got cheats for (19 65 09 17, baby). Anyways, what are your thoughts on this franchise?

Ahh, I'll ad a few more games I've played in the past few days:

Madden NFL 2004 (GCN) 9.5/10 Despite the screwy AI at times, the sheer massiveness of Owner Mode almost entirely makes up for it.

NBA Jam T.E. (GEN) 8/10 It's exactly the same as the original Jam but since I don't have that than this is the awesome game.

Hollywood Mogul (PC) 9.5/10 Highly addictive and of course I have to play it if I want to continue the GRP diary.

All my games here are old school Genesis titles:

Sonic 2 10/10 - Old-school Genesis games like this rock.

College Football USA '96 7/10 - Being able to rock as Bama and rise Vandy from the ashes overcomes the cheating comeback AI.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles 10/10 - Combining Sonic 3 and Sonic Knuckles equals a title close to beating Sonic 2 as the best Sonic game ever, IMO.

NFL Quarterback Club '96 7.5/10 - Back before Acclaim sucked.

Barkley's Shut Up and Jam 2 4/10 - Poor attempt at a street ball game.

EDIT: Switched the spots so the list come up on the first post.

I figure since we've started a movie and gig thread I'll just start this.

You mean the concept Conan's writing staff stole from Ed the Sock two weeks after they rejected bringing Ed himself on? That puppet dog?

←

If you mean Triumph than yes.

The only thing is, Conan doesn't need Andy anymore.  Don't get me wrong, I think Conan would welcome him back but A ) Richter wouldn't go back and B ) Conan's only improved since he left.

←

I would agree with you there, Zero. Conan has improved since Andy left. How he has improved, well, let's just say a puppet dog help him.

The Rulse of Attraction 9/10 - About the 8th time I've watched it and it still is a great mix of shock value, drama, and comedy (the romp to George Michael's "Faith" and Dick's breakdown is especially hilarious).

That was pretty funny. I especially liked the line about the spin-offs and how ABC can't do any.

I always liked Godsmack better. Their songs are awesome. SOTY are just pansies.

Old School Rock. Too many good bands to not say no, though, I was close to picking hip-hop/rap.

Not really, though I did like that Elephant Man song that came out a little while back.

Shrek 2. I'll go see that movie in my town or maybe just wait for the DVD release like I always do.

Today I've watched:

Vegas Vacation 6.5/10 - Decently funny and pretty good to watch in the middle of the day.

National Lampoon's Vacation 8.5/10 - IMO, the first funny dark comedy.

From what imdb is saying, Charlize Theron is supposed to play Aeon. Also, I believe they're trying the live-action approach (the original was a cartoon).

Seiously undergay. Maybe girls don't dig The Matrix that much.

The #1 song on 10/17/1989 was Janet Jackson's Miss You Much. I wish it was something good.

I watched a lot yesterday. Here is the list:

Something The Lord Made 8.5/10 - The ending nearly made me cry. This film should've been released in theatres. Mos Def proves he's a better actor than rapper and Alan Rickman, well, he's great no matter what he does.

The Original Kings of Comedy 8/10 - Worth it just to watch Steve Harvey's routines.

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut 8/10 - A genius musical/cus fest.

Just listened to Avril's version of Chop Suey and I have to say that is easily the worst cover I have ever heard. Also, I can't stop laughing because of this. It's hilarious. People, download this song the next time and play it the next time one of your friends decides to take a stand for Avril. That song should change their mind.

I watched the first 45 minutes of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Would've watched more but I decided to leave (I was at my cousin's house). I also made me wish I had watched the R-rated version (this version was on TV and edited so I couldn't oodle the Three Brides sex scene). Also, this version was very lesbitronic.

Pitt and Aniston Walk Out on 'Troy'

Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt caused outrage at the Cannes Film Festival last week - by walking out of the official screening of his film Troy before it had started. The 40-year-old actor got up and left the cinema with his Friends star wife Jennifer Aniston before the lights went down. A horrified witness says, "It is almost unprecedented not to watch your own film at Cannes. Their vacant seats did not go unnoticed". Pitt is next up on the big screen later this year in Ocean's Twelve opposite George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Apparently, Pitt thinks it sucks, too.

Electric Six (Gay Bar), Pansy Division (they are queer-core), Junior Senior (one of them is gay), God Is My Co-Pilot, Team Dresch, The Nerves, Heatmiser, Tribe 8, Fifth Column, Scott Free, Behead The Prophet, and Sta-Prest all are very notable queer bands.

Not to even mention the homosexual inspired rap that hasn't even begun to break MTV and the mainstream culture.

Trust me, their are lots of things MTV can do with a gay channel. And hey, it is not like anyone is forcing you to watch. Don't like it, change the channel.

←

Hmm, never heard of a lot of those bands. You've got a good point and trust me, I won't be watching.

Coyote Ugly - 7.5/10

Before you ask why, let me tell you that I love stories like this that seem to put plot second. Normally, I hate stripper/dancer movies, but this movie has something those movies don't have: hot girls. If it weren't for them this would be a 3.5, but the girls add 4 points to this.

What a coincidence. I just saw a topic about the Flyers getting pwned.

Anyways, back on topic. What else do people think about the movie?
