Yep.  Borderline irritating sometimes.  The PR forum is the same way.  Even in the political humor thread, recognition of anything funny is very minimal.  WTF?

Nice, yea there was a gamecube wrestling game we loved to play in college but I forget which one it was since I didn't own it.  We would have a 4 way hell in a call match before dinner almost every day for awhile  :lol

The Hell in a Cell matches in those games were the best. They're balls in the newer games though. It's some convoluted esoteric crap just to even get out of the cell. What fun is a Hell in a Cell match if you can't easily get out of it and climb on top?

True, that's why I don't enjoy the new games.  The mechanics just aren't fun to play. You can throw all the bells and whistles at the game, but if the gameplay itself isn't fun, then I don't care that you have TLC matches, backstage brawls, Hell in a Cell, elimination chamber.. whatever, give me a game that plays well.

Absolutely. The problem with the new games is that everything is so scripted. You can do a lot of things, but none of it flows naturally in a fun way, it's just doing tedious scripted combos that aren't worth the effort. That was what gave the old games such great replay value, nothing was scripted. You could do a ton of shit because it was designed with that freedom in mind.

What I thought was funny was current ticket prices being seen as a personal assault. One guy even quoted his annual salary.  ???

I know.  I just don't get the whole premise of the thread.

Then, of course, it devolved into DT with MP vs. DT without MP.  AGAIN.  That subject is the new Kevin Moore, FFS.

If they ever replace Mangini on drums with Kevin Moore I'm pretty sure the forum would spontaneously combust.

The premise of rising ticket prices makes sense, it's a real industry trend across all music.  However, it seemed mostly a complaint about "I can't afford it so DT is the problem" which is ridiculous

My Grandad is away for 2 weeks and he let me stay at his place by the sea. It's a detached house with no neighbours for several meters so i can CRANK my music :coolio.

Got my iMac set up in the lounge and sleeping in the guest lounge upstairs :coolio.

Bike is outside and is much safer there since my house is in the middle of town and I would not want to leave it outside on a busy street...

Already driven around 50 miles today but whatevs it's still daytime.

So today is the 10 year anniversary of my college roommate and I throwing bottles off our 5th floor balcony which lead us to getting charged with disorderly conduct.  The funny part is I only just recently realized we did this on 4/20 and I swear we were not even high at all, just drunk.  I also have it on video so I think it may be time to share the video with the rest of the world as 10 years also means the dismissed charge (we did 15 hours of community server in favor of dismissing the charge) will drop off my record so I can't get in trouble again for it  :lol

Fuck.  It's cancerous and in place that may be too hard to remove.  Doctor said they might not be able to do anything for him. We'll find out more next week when I take him to a surgeon that specializes in this.

All of the above. Very sorry to hear that, Joe.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Hopefully the outlook is a little more positive once you see the surgeon.
