Robo! That new avatar is sweet! I approve that!

:smiley:

For the sports fans like myself:eek: something else to talk about besides games and bickering:eek:

Brick Lesnar has singed with the Minnesotta Vikings, pretty sure he’ll start if he makes it through pre-season just for the publicity kicks. And what the hell is wrong with Ricky Williams? Retiring just because football ain’t in his heart and just wants to be himself? At the prime of his career? Dogg you get like 3.6 million a year and increase each year. I’ll play for you:lol: But after seeing he’s been fined for failing the NFL drug test twice, coming back from Australlia with the Marley Brothers and bald, diagnosed with social aniexity disorder(extreme shyness), and rumors of waking up next to Dennis Rodman in a Eric Clapton’s hotel room, it’s pretty safe to say he’s not right in the head anymore. 2 MORE WEEKS TILL MADDEN 05!!! And about 4 weeks for football season(don’t watch pre-season, the real players hardly play and the Cardinals can have a good record then, but once the season starts it’s over)

If any of these rules are broken the Administrator will be notified via our Security Network for Internet Thuggery, Crime and Harassment (or you can use the acronym) personnel thats always watching you :eek:

Any violation of the new rules will result in a SNITCH by Obot to an Administrator.

lol Lesnar actually signed with someone? For what? I’m almost certain he won’t last long, sure he’s big and may be able to just rely on his size and strength, but he’ll just end up being the Master P of the NBA if anything.

Ricky Williams is crazy in my opinion. Not only is he leaving behind football which he has been playing for almost all his life (probably, you don’t get that good overnight), but he’s basically screwing over the Miami Dolphins and everyone affiliated with them. Wannstedt (sp?) is in major trouble. Even if they decide to keep him he’s going to have a shit of a time trying to get them even to an 8-8 season. But like you said, he’s probably not right in the head. Can’t have weird idiots running around on the football field.

ESPN 2K5 > Madden :smiley:

Anyway, for whoever said their Venom was unbeatable or whatever (gen. jackal or something…? I forgot), I’m not going to talk smack cuz I dunno how good you guys are lol but I’m always up for a challenge.

In the list of rules…I say no snk games :lol: But I’m sure that won’t happen haha.

$230,000 a year. Defensive tackle.

I think his problem is simple.

His star ain’t shining as brightly as he hoped. The Mike Ditka prospect NEVER became the great player he was cracked up to be. I never liked him as a running back or a player period. For someone they claim to be so timid sure liked attention…like the extremely stupid habit of wearing that braided mop on his head that Mackenzie (Green Bay) and half the NFL seems to have adopted. He got along ok with the ladies too, apparently. He better not compare himself to Barry Sanders ever again…he was and will never be half the player and sportsman Barry is…Barry had REAL issues with the NFL and the Lions, Ricky’s problem is baby-shit compared to what Barry had to put up with…unless there was some underlying problem that the press hasn’t gotten wind of yet. Poor little millionaire…I don’t feel sorry for the bum.

Blasphemy!:bluu:

Look forward to playing you on Guilty Gear…U will probably be another on a long list of people I thought I was good enough to hang with, but probably get my ass kicked by.:bluu:

(evil laughs)

FOOLISH FLESH CREATURES!! I, The Deity, am the supreme being. (evil laughs)

I was just talking shit (I just started playing) I’m the Master P of ggxx reload :lol: but you know who has a good Venom…Potemkin, we were over Johns house last night and he was there throwing those pool balls all over the place, I got some good tips from him

I hope you Detroit heads aren’t still using EX chars in Reload. Considering EX chars aren’t even considered chars.

Huh? Really?:confused:

Are you insane??? ESPN 2k5 is horrible, and the world thinks so, that game is $20 for a reason. Tecmo Bowl is more balanced than that game, but then again Tecmo Bowl is a good game. But hey to each his own.:cool:

I think Ricky Williams is doing this for attention to build up a comback, hope it don’t work too. I mean people retire because of injuries or a decline in their ability, or age. He’s just doing it because it’ll bring more attention to him. Much like Robo said, seems odd for such a shy person. The same guy who used to do interviews with his helmet on ya know. Detroit was gonna run Barry ragged, 9 out of 10 plays would be a run. He wanted to be traded and the Lions refused. He felt his talent was being wasted here and it was. For Miami and Williams that wasn’t the case, they had a good defense and was only know before their passing since the Marino days. Ricky was the missing piece for them and naturally it would take time for them to get the ring. I think he’ll hide behind his shyness and say he didn’t like being the teams focus. Regardless, I don’t feel sorry for him either.

But I do feel sorry for Terrell Owens. The Eagles play the Ravens Sunday October 31st, Halloween!!!

Ray Lewis personally asked T.O. to come to the Ravens during the Pro Bowl and he accepted. Then he finds out Philly was interested in him and publically says he doesn’t think he’ll be happy in BMore and wanted to go to the Eagles. Ray and the team didn’t take that too lightly. Even though I love Philly, Mcnabb, and T.O. too and actually hope they make the Super Bowl along with BMore, Dallas, and KC (and maybe the Lions one day ) my picks. It no doubt this will be the most watched game of the year. Just the way T.O. likes it.:cool:

I hate TO. And Philly better make the Superbowl considering all the upgrades they got with Jevon Kearse and their offense. Plus they won’t have 21321321 injuries like they did to start off 2003.

I’m glad Ricky Williams retired, cuz I hate the Dolphins. Also Ricky Williams was pretty fruity IIRC. He was also pretty overrated just like every other football player that comes out of Texas. Hopefully that is not the case with Roy Williams. IMO the Lions should be doing good this year assuming Joey Harrington is a real QB and not a flop. Its all on him this year. Cuz in the past, his ass pissed me off throwing to DBs constantly, but people said he needed some help. I agree that if your first option is butter fingers Bill Scroeder that you would throw Interceptions too. But this time around he has Charles Rogers and Roy Williams, two fast big receivers who are known to run good routes.

The Lions should have an 10-6 or 9-7 record if Harrington is actually good. And our division, with Green Bay on a decline, and Chicago and Minnesota, that could be good enough to get us a straight up playoff spot, if not then a wildcard spot.

Robotron…

Uh, they are about as real characters as Gold and Shadow characters and Kliff and Justice. Like EX Venom (one I remember someone playing before). Venom is a charge character. It takes alot of skill to get down charging with him to go crazy, but EX Venom doesn’t involve any charging. The whole skill part is forsaken. There is a good reason they aren’t even allowed in tournament play. You can knock yourself out playing them. But don’t expect me to respect you as a player for using them, just like you have 0 respect for me as far as using RCs and watching tournaments videos go. At least what I do is allowed in a tournament, so I have some level of justification. So I was just stating that EX chars are a pretty stupid way playing and there is some justification to what i am saying.

Thats interesting…I play regular Slayer, but ex Faust. I can play with regular Faust…no problem though. I think I will play only the regular characters from now on…no ex.

As far as the tournament videos and RC crap goes…I think I said in an old post that if your gonna compete with money on the line, then by all means learn RC and copy what you see on internet videos…you really have no choice…or die. Because the justin wangs and ricky ortegas out there are gonna use em’.

Cheese, theres nothing more fun and satisfying then buying a new game (or playing a new game at the arcade) learning how to play on your own, making up your own combo’s and styles (over a period of time)…and winning with it. Its the shit, dude. But then here comes some little freckle faced, snot nosed bastard who has never played the game before… goes online, copys some japanese guy’s style, moves and knowledge of glitches…and a couple days later comes and waste you and makes you look foolish on a game it took you months to learn.

Somehow, it takes the fun out of it. You (cheese_master) would probably would go online, learn a few tricks and come back and beat the kid…and then on and on. The game ceases to be fun…at least to me anyway. I myself don’t see the point anymore. Perhaps I would be inspired…if you (cheese_master) went to Chi-Town or Cali and bought back 1st prize or something…but every year its the same shit, justin wang and the rest of those nerds take your money. They are always one step ahead of you. Wheres the fun, fun, fun, cheese?

Ahhhh…different strokes. If thats what you like cheese…cool. I’ll just have fun at FNG, I win sometimes, I lose sometimes…some pizza, good company and conversation with the guys…thats what I get a charge out of, that’s fun to me.

actually i usually use chars of my own liking with my own stuff. If I see something good with my chars… then of course I will use it. But I actually agree that coming up with your own shit is fun. And that is why fighting games and most games tend to be boring after 3 years, because all the shit to be came up with, is already out, and people are just jocking other people’s shit. But funny thing is, in the US, especially in Michigan, no one even uses half the shit in the game.

As far as me placing high in tournies. I do what I can. Its hard to beat A groove RC Blanka/Sak/Bison when you never get to face them locally because most of the locals would rather not RC or some lame stuff. Also as far as this state goes, there is very little interest in actually improving their gameplay. More interest in useless shit talk and stupid rivalries.

Like Keshawn is running this tournament. It sounds dope, I mean seems like everyone is going right? Well this tourny may have alot of people, but I guarantee the next time around, there will be more people watching than actually entering. As I said, people would rather not enter the tournament and then talk shit to someone like Best who entered and lost to Julian or something. At least Best had the balls to enter, most of those other guys don’t do shit outside of talk shit and act like they beat Best when in actuality Julian did. They would rather talk shit and degrade Best for trying to at least enter a tournament, than actually get better themselves. And that is pretty much the pattern with everygame not just CvS2. Take MvC2. Best loses to Shawn, the same bums who don’t enter the tournaments, give him shit for losing. And that is why Michigan sucks dick when it comes to fighting games.

You can say what you want. But thats just the way I see it. Its not because John Choi or Justin Wong spend 12342312312 more hrs playing like people like to make it out to be. Its because the hrs they spend playing, become useful because people in their communities actually try to get better. Its because the drive that most people have to improve, is not there in like 95% of the people who go to the arcade in the state of MI. They just would rather talk shit about the few that even make an attempt to get better. If these same people invested the amount of time they spend in the arcade talking shit on something useful like playing each other and giving pointers etc etc to help each other get better. Maybe the community would be alot better as a whole, and maybe you’ll see a Michigan person like Juan or AVX or someone place high.

But as I said, its not going to happen no matter what the game is till people change their attitude. I mean you can only get so far when you have a total of 5 decent players who are trying to get better to play against in a game. Of those players, only one barely uses top tier tactics. How can you learn to beat top tier tactics, when you don’t face it? But whatever.

I’m sure there are others who pretty much agree with what I said.

so what were just haveing fun :smiley:

I knew this was going to happen; it’s not even august yet, you stupid cunt.

Parentheses rolleyes.
