    So for the past couple months, I've opted to start typing up really, really long game reviews again, and I'm slowly gonna bring them to GS. Go check on my "contributions" button, or to my blog to see the whole thing.

    Smackdown, Spiderman, Bond, Chrono Trigger, Street Fighter, Call of Duty later on in the day...soon a ton more.

        I think I've adopted the Bret Hart syndrome where my favorite subject is myself, so I'm gonna see how blogging on GS treats me for the time being. Here's the update since I made that bigass GWD Slammy thread.

    Back in school for another semester in a program that probably won't net me any sort of job or money but I get kickass grades in anyways.

    That stuff I was going on about starting a relationship with someone, didn't work out at all. Actually isn't so bad, in retrospect I dodged a bullet, and I got something else working out right now so it all worked out pretty good. But you didn't come here to hear me talk about relationships, you came to hear me talk about WRESTLING!

    Monty Brown, under any other name, is still awesome.

    Batista vs Undertaker

    Raw was actually pretty entertaining last night. The shows tend to pick up around this time so it's not a bad time to start watching again.

    Gonna see if I can't get some form of work with the local promotion. Can't wrestle, but anything from video editing to commentary (I'm of the belief that every indy commentator sucks) will do. Course this is gonna involve some promotional work on my behalf.

    Blood, Sweat and Ears, Febuary 25 at the Westwood Arena in Etobicoke, Samoa Joe vs Christopher Daniels plus all the top indy workers in Ontario and some dude named Dancing Pete.

    So help me god, I will do one more GWE promo.

    Anyone that I remember that wants someone to talk wrestling with can add me to your MSN, my thing's canuck_eh_basic@hotmail.com.  I tend to watch all the major shows when I can. Otherwise, I'm off til the next time.

    Rest in Peace Scott Bigalow.

    He crossed the bridge of North Deathsville where the troll lurked.

    "My name is Finlay, and I love to fight" said the Irishman.

    "Aye, well I can't let ya past. Not for you, not for anyone. Not unless you answer my riddle." Said Ricky Williams. "Answering the riddle will break the magic curse of my suspension."

    "I don't answer riddles. I fight." Responded Finlay. He drew is Magic Shillelagh and slayed the vile Ricky Williams where he stood.

    "Thanks bro" said Ricky Williams, "thanks for putting me out of my misery of having to go to Canada", with his dying breath. Finlay continued his journey to North Deathsville...

    It takes a tough Irish bastard to stop male cheerleader terrorists from their anti-american schemes. Using his shellilah, he intercepts airplanes before crashing into buildings and fights off armed terrorists with unpadded knee drops.

    And the Spirit Squad came out. Born out of the Roid Ooze, Vince Mcmahon liked what he saw and pushed them as his headliners.

    The story continues later.

    Apparantly the chestgina comes from Scott Steiner tearing his pec muscle. Instead of having it reattached like you know, a normal person, the roids just naturally made it grow in on its own. God bless.

    JOEDIASM!

    All are free to convert. Entry to Joediasm will require a baptismal facewash ritual. The almighty Joe loves his worshippers and kills all false idols. No phony fireworks, he just kills them.

    And it landed in Scott Steiner's chest, leaving a giant crater. So Scott Steiner saved mankind. After which, he blamed the meteor on Ric Flair.

    Yesterday was a very proud day for all  wrestling fans. Except for maybe Scott Steiner himself, who was probably really pissed off.

    Don't really talk about this much, but I actually have twin brother. Reason I'm bringing this up now is because our birthday is coming up and I don't have a clue what to get him. He likes photography but he gets free cameras from his job, he likes Star Wars and that Empire game that just came out is gonna be my last resort, but he doesn't spend a lot of time at home.

    Decisions decisions.

    I've gotten a slew of PMs telling me that people are tracking my contributions. That downright scares me. Partly because it's creepy, and part because I just don't contribute much. Not that I want people to stop tracking my stuff. Hey, Top 100 reviewers, that's pretty neat. See, I go through spurts of contributions. For like a month or so, I'll put out like five or ten lengthy reviews, lengthy journal entries about wrestling (I'm pretty sure more people will read this entry if I dedicate it to Eddie Guerrero)and still have time to do 3-5 kickass GWE promos. And then there's spurts like the one I'm in now where I just don't feel like doing anything with the ample amounts of time I have to do nothing but go on a computer. Gonna see if I can't get back into the contributive state of mind.

    That and the stranglehold that City of Heroes/Villians has on me. It's not addiction: I don't crave playing COH when I'm out, and I'm not obsessed with leveling up. Normally I make a new character, get him/her (mostly her, if you're gonna stare at someone's ass for hours...) to around level 8, and make someone else because I want to see what the other powers are like. It's just something I'd rather do in my private time. I like the general superhero mythos but I don't want to read comic books so stuff like this is great for me. Plus it's simple to play and got a lot of action, with no worry about equipment. It's lasted two months, which is longer than the who's who of long cancelled MMORPGs that sit in the Unused Deskstop Shortcuts folder  (Everquest 1&2, Final Fantasy 11, Guild Wars, WoW, Ragnarok and Galaxies). Great f'n game.

    And on one last note, if you get a chance, get the Superstar Billy Graham autobiography. I'd easily put it up with the Foley books as some of the best wrestling literature to date.

    Normally, I'd be alright with using real-life events to create storylines. Particularly if your hand is forced. But there's something inexplicably sleazy about cashing in on a real life tradegy you created yourself. Not to say that taking JR off the announce team is equal to loss of life, but what they're doing is along the lines of Al-Queda holding a PPV for money so they can have people pay to see an American fight Bin Laden to avenge 9/11. I don't think anyone who knows the true story behind what happened can order Taboo Tuesday in good conscience. And the true story has a tendency to spread. Ask Matt Hardy.

    As for Coach, don't go out of your way to become a heel on the internet. Shrerer is already taking the high road. All you're doing is giving them free publicity.

    The new GS website design? Spiffy!

    The new forum design? Not so spiffy!

    Kinda hate the whole idea of compressing the width of the actual forum. My computer monitor is 15 years old, had it for most of my life. And even on that, everything is squished all too closely together.

    So...ummmm...D

    As far as historical accuracy goes, they nailed it. Except for skipping over the steroid use and his...website, they pretty much covered his career.

    But as far as bias and continuity goes, oh boy. The DVD has a general negative feel, and they frequently criticize Warrior for things that Hogan is equally if not more guilty of: Poor workrate, going into business for yourself, unprofessionalism, egomania and so forth. And the hypocrisy sticks its nose out even further when you hear Hogan (and for a small segment, Triple H) talk about it. They go out of their way to put sympathy on Vince and the company, while demonizing the idea of suing the company over the rights to the Warrior name at a time when they're threatening lawsuits to people left and right over copyright infringement.

    Now with that said, if you're a Christian fan, you need this DVD.

    Rented them today. Beat Spider Man couple of hours ago. Great game, but boy does it end fast. At the least, it teaches the lesson that all problems in life can be blamed on SHIELD.

    With Marvel, the game is a ton of fun to play in multiplayer. The Marvel characters they did put in it are the awesome ones and the original characters are alright. The game even follows tradition by having Magneto and Storm as top-tier. But the thing is the single player is absolute hell to play and you have to go through it to unlock everyone.

    This is how a real man does promos over the internet


    *At the Oval Office, Canuck's Ninjas have successfully kidnapped the president.*

    George W Bush : Unhand me this instant, or else I'll miss SchoolHouse Rock. How else am I supposed to know what is the function of a conjunction?

    Ninja Dog : Sensei, what shall we do with the hostage now?

    Ninja Master : You speak when you're spoken to, Ninja Dog... now you may speak.

    Ninja Dog : Sensei, what shall we do with the hostage now?

    Ninja Master : You will meditate and channel your chi. You will keep meditating until you have so much chi that it makes you high, but not enough that your chi can be detected in a urine sample.

    Ninja Dog : Sensei, I need to go the the men's room.

    Ninja Master : YOU PISS WHEN YOU'RE PISSEN TO, NINJA DOG!

    *A man with a ripped, hairy chest and a tatoo of the state of Texas enters the room in dramatic fashion.

    Ninja Master : Who dares enter our domain?

    Bad Dude : I'm a bad enough dude to rescue the president. I wrestle grizzly bears because I wrestled all the wolverines into extinction. I mix my beer with WD-40, and volunteered to fight in Iraq so I can kill people of a different ethnicity than mine. I beat my wife so much she cries milk and breastfeeds our babies with tears. In fact, I beat my friends' wives for them, and they come up to me and say "thank you bad dude for a job well done." And most of all, I vote Republican.

    Ninja Master : Enough talk, we fight. Attack!

    *The ninjas attack, but the Bad Dude is so bad that he laughs off their ninja stars and beats them all into submission.*

    George W Bush : Thank you mister dude. How can I repay you?

    Bad Dude : Well Mr President, there's a city that has been hit by mother nature that needs your aid in saving it's people. I'm talking about Texas, and mother nature keeps throwing unwanted immigrants as us.

    George W Bush : My fellow American, Texas will have not only my undivided attention but the undivided attention of the rest of the United States of America.

    Ninja Master : Well will be back. And we will be more ninjalike than before!

    *The ninjas vanish in a puff of smoke.*


    *Meanwhile, our protagonist and his Russian mafiosonic friend drive the Hummer from Toronto to the Dirty South as to exact revenge on Ludacris for changing his theme music. Vladimir's car mods allow him to make the trip in minutes.*

    Canuck : Yep, we just passed the sign. "Dirty South. Population : 2,045,342 1/3. It's really populated in Herrrrrrrrrrrr."

    *As they enter the Dirty South, it dawns apon our protagonists that this is the most racist-based region of land on the planet. Besides Vladimir's territory. On every street corner are Fried Chicken joints and indie record labels. *

    Canuck : Well, it's not completely based on stereotype. White and black people loiter together struggling to perform freestyle raps, almost as if they can actually make it in this rap game.

    Vladimir : We are near the place.

    Canuck : Wha...how do you know where he is?

    Vladimir : I mastered echolocation.

    *They drive up to a nightclub called "Da Club." They.......ummm..... get in Da Club.*

    Canuck : Alright, you better be the real Ludacris and not some fetish-powered pervert brother because I've sat in the passenger seat of a Hummer next to a real Russian's-Russian driving from one side of the country to the other. You think that's fun, having to put up with him talking about where he hid the weapons of mass destruction?

    Ludacris : I'm da real deal, a bonfide playa!
    I cut up punk emcees and I dice and filet 'hem!

    Canuck : Hey hey hey, don't try any gimmick infringement. Roijire will sue your ass.

    Ludacris : Yeah I be the one who changed your theme music. I changed it because I be the hottest thing going.

    Canuck : Oh yeah, well I'm gonna beat the turd out of you, because the only thing I care about are my freaks and my peaks. Big Poppa Nuck is your hookup, Hollerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr if you hear me!

    *Canuck tries to approach him, but Ludacris is wearing a rather gargantuan sneaker, where everytime he stomps his feet on the floor, it causes earthquakes.*

    Ludacris : Fool, doncha know that all of my music videos are accurate depictions of real life?

    Canuck : So are my matches, that doesn't stop Wade friggin Keller from writing about how poor of a worker I am. And I have something you don't have. NINJAS!

    *A pack of ninjas jump from the background.*

    Ludacris : Well I be bringing da only thing cooler than ninjas. My Ninja-Hos.

    *A group of ladies wearing only bikinis and ninja masks come out and soundly thrash the ninjas*

    Canuck : Holy crap, there is something cooler than ninjas. It's like the coolness of ninjas combined with the hotness of sex. You're a genius Mr Cris.

    Vladimir : There is only one thing that is what you Americans call "cool"er. Mercenaries.

    *Several Hummers crash through the hall. Out come various men with ski masks and AKs.*

    Vladimir : Quick-Delivery Mercenaries. Come to the rescue in 20 minutes or your assassination is free.

    Canuck : Well, I'm beat. Can't think of anything cooler than that.

    Ludacris : Yep, can't outdo that.

    Canuck : Well, unless you have Mercenary-hos.

    Ludacris : No, not happening.

    Canuck : Well, can I have my old theme music again? It's kind of my thing.

    Ludacris : Fine fine fine. Lord, come down from da heavens and grant thee thine old theme music.

    *Thunderclouds form above everyone as lightning strikes and God changes his theme music back to that song "Don't you wish you're girlfriend was hot like me?"*

    Canuck : Well that was fun. I guess the moral of the story is, the Dirty South isn't even worse investing in. The government should just invest in making New York hobo-free.

    Ludacris : Wha? That don't make no...

    Canuck : Hobo-free.

    *We slowly and unconfortably go to commercial.*
