Also the new MGS game is not 360 exclusive. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 4, 08:40 16
- I had absolutely zero expectation that it would be. I'm shocked that it's even touching the 360 at all. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:42 14
  - I'm not. Due to low PS3 sales numbers I suspected MGS would need to be on all platforms for the company to - Remlik Jun 4, 08:44 6
    - Konami. -- nm - Shaun Jun 4, 08:46 1
      - Go down... -- nm - Shaun Jun 4, 08:46
    - But I thought it was made by Sony? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:44 3
      - No, Kojima Productions is the developer, and Konami is the publisher. -- nm - Ender Jun 4, 08:48
      - I think so to, but with the PS3 division bleeding money, my thought is that - Remlik Jun 4, 08:46 1
        
        In that case, maybe it's a secret project to submarine the XBox and give it some kind of a bad name for stability or something. - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:48
  - Sucks from Sony's perspective. But it'll also suck for 360 folks who buy it when it's on multiple discs, which is likely. -- nm - Shaun Jun 4, 08:44 6
    - meh, you might have to switch discs once or twice in the game. it's not as though it'll be like when I got king's quest 4 on 14 floppies. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 08:47 2
      - But people are lazy dude. -- nm - Shaun Jun 4, 08:48 1
        
        Especially Lazy Dudes. (See BBs) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:50
    - heheh. Well, unless it has a demo that plays astoundingly, I probably won't be buying it ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:44 2
      - It'll be a lot more action oriented since Raiden is a killing machine, as seen beautifully in MSG4 cutscenes. -- nm - Shaun Jun 4, 08:47 1
        
        I didn't even buy L4D, and it had an awesome demo. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:50
- ::ears perk up:: -- nm - znu Jun 4, 08:41
I have a retail handicap. Heheh. Resulting question will be posted after the roll ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:37 11
- hmm ... well, it's not monday, maybe the roll will be a while. I bought a new hat on Monday; today, the store has a 20% off sale. - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:38 10
  - Definitely take it back with the receipt. Usually if it's within a short time frame (2 weeks, or 30 days) they'll refund you the money. - JaxSean Jun 4, 08:44 1
    - Yeah. I wonder if I had the foresight to put the receipt in my backpack. I don't think I did; it'll have to wait until tomorrow. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:45
  - The most important question: what kind of $75 hat did you buy? -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 08:40 6
    - Tilley Hat. The best kind of hat. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:41 4
      - *googles* Hey, I have one of those. Didn't know that's what it was called. - con_carne Jun 4, 08:42 3
        
        If it's a real Tilley, it would say on the inside, in very big letters. - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:43 2
        
        Oh, I thought Tilley was a style, not a brand name. No, mine has a different brand name on it. I love it. -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 08:47 1
        
        It's a good style, definitely - but I can't bring myself to get any other maker's version besides the original one my stepdad got ... -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:49
    - Captain's hat! -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 08:40
  - (The difference is about $15) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:39
hey RC, you here? - tRuMaN Jun 4, 08:35 2
- *puts on chainmail readies for battle* -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:37 1
  - We would get killed -- nm - amoxy Jun 4, 08:50

  - not sure if he is. He is in the Willy Nelson league....... - groiny Jun 4, 08:48 1
    - grrr... i just wanted one of my pitchers to be good this year. just one! - Guy Jun 4, 08:51

    - Oh, I saw it in a backboarding run. Giggle-tastic. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 08:43
    - Anyone who drafted Chavez should have been kneecapped. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 08:40 1
      - [deleted]
- Did you drop him? You really should have, because he sucks so much. - TFox Jun 4, 08:33 7
  - i have no intention of dropping Lee - my gripe is that a guy with 2 Ws needs to help in SOME category - Guy Jun 4, 08:49 2
    - He's 7th in ERA & SOs......if that's not helping, your team is in sad shape. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 4, 08:52
    - They actually are, you just aren't looking at them right. - TFox Jun 4, 08:50
  - [deleted] 3
    - Oakland sucks, at best he will help you in 2 categories. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 08:45
    - Not if you needed the spot. He's no guarantee to be a help this season. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 08:44 1

SITWAP: The Xbox 360 will be sticking around until 2015. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 4, 08:31 1
- And the PS3 is on a ten year plan too! - Inigo Jun 4, 08:34
I'm floatin' too. No wonder they carded me for that stuff. -- nm - Diva Jun 4, 08:30 10
- what are you taking? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 08:31 9
  - TheraFlu Warming Liquid (Daytime). Some Sudafed. Allegra. Forcing liquids. -- nm - Diva Jun 4, 08:32 6
    - Theraflu and Ice-Tea is a great combo... - Mel Profit Jun 4, 08:50
    - sudafed and allegra????? - groiny Jun 4, 08:35 4
      - I am worried about her - do we have Mary Kate's number? - Epiphany Jun 4, 08:47 3
        
        heh-heh... -- nm - Diva Jun 4, 08:58
        
        Sudafed makes me sleepy, Allegra keeps me awake...... - groiny Jun 4, 08:49
        
        *nice* -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 08:49
  - Mel Nipple Frosting - Epiphany Jun 4, 08:32 1
    - Maybe later when we're feeling better. (yum!) -- nm - Diva Jun 4, 08:33
Alrighty, Blink 182 - Fallout Boy tickets, purchased. - groiny Jun 4, 08:29
Good Morning. -- nm - lileve Jun 4, 08:27 2
- Morning. - Mel Profit Jun 4, 08:30 1
  - I do. I will return asap. I've been in a slump for a few weeks. -- nm - lileve Jun 4, 08:43
Thank the maker. SheFox's disability payments for the month just hit the bank account. - TFox Jun 4, 08:26 8
- how about flowers for her, or one of those back warming harness things? - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:31 4
  - swear to God I had just clicked on the post to say buy her flowers. -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:31
  - Damn you Bery. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 08:31 2
    - (Cirque du Soleil is coming in July. Damnit Bery.) -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 08:32 1

Randy Orton versus Spanish TV reporter (anyone know if this was a work or legit?) -- (link) - Beaker Jun 4, 08:16 44
- God I hate Orton - Will Hunting Jun 4, 08:45
- "I WILL HEADBUTT YOUR TEETH THROUGH YOUR SKULL!!!" -- nm - Ender Jun 4, 08:37
- PWI isn't saying yet. -- nm - Remlik Jun 4, 08:23
- [deleted] 17
  - I thought he confirmed it the day after. they reported here that he took it after paris hilton turned it down. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 08:40
  - I will give him this: he is probably the only rapper on the planet with the stones to let someone put testes in his face like that on TV. - TFox Jun 4, 08:23 12
    - or desperate to revive his career -- nm - dug Jun 4, 08:29 2
      - I don't see how letting Bruno put his balls on your forehead wins you a lot of new fans in the hip-hop world. - TFox Jun 4, 08:31
      - his album just opened at #1 IIRC -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:29
    - yet he wouldn't talk to Triumph. -- nm - Remlik Jun 4, 08:26 8
      - Because the puppet was freakin' stupid. -- nm - Spawn Jun 4, 08:28
      - I don -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 08:28 6
        
        't think Em would have done this stunt pre-recluse period. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 08:28 5
        
        I don't think he would have done this stunt if he didn't have a brand new CD out either. -- nm - Jim Jun 4, 08:29 4
        
        but you can say that about 99% of the people who show up at the MTV Awards...or almost any awards show for that matter -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:30 3
        
        Without a doubt. But Em is not an idiot. Tell me one other thing that happened at those awards. - Jim Jun 4, 08:33 2
        
        Yeah, between this and him teabagging EW to get on the cover, he is marketing well. -- nm - Spawn Jun 4, 08:41
        
        Somebody made a joke about Amy Winehouse. - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:37
  - I'm still wondering if he was in it, or if this is PR face-saving. - ty97 Jun 4, 08:23 2
    - If anything, that is like backwards PR face-saving. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 08:23 1
      - It's the PR equivalent of having Bruno's ass shoved in your face, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 08:40
- that looks pretty staged. -- nm - Reagen Jun 4, 08:21 1
  - I thought so too -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:23
- The John Stossel incident referred to (love this clip) -- (link) - Beaker Jun 4, 08:17 [youtube] 20
  - Wait.......a wrestler slapped a reporter for daring to say wrestling is.......fake? - ty97 Jun 4, 08:22 13
    - scripted != fake. -- nm - Reagen Jun 4, 08:23 5
      - agreed. Look at the injuries most wrestlers suffer on a recurring basis. More dangerous than most sports if not all IMO -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:26 4
        
        Of course it's more dangerous. It's not a sport, it's basically exhibition of dangerous stunts set to the backdrop of a soap opera. - musubi Jun 4, 08:28 3
        
        It's a very dangerous form of entertainment. And I like the McMahon even goes to pretty great lengths to emphasize the "entertainment". Cause it's - Jim Jun 4, 08:34 1
        
        Wrestlers are athletetes, that so not actually play a sport. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 08:36
        
        You're forgetting "All My Chainsaws". -- nm - Reagen Jun 4, 08:31
    - this was 20 years or even longer ago though when it was a secret :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:22 6
      - to the braindead? -- nm - ty97 Jun 4, 08:23 5
        
        It wasn't a "secret" per se, but back in the day, they *never* admitted it was scripted. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 08:27 2
        
        good and bad guys weren't allowed to ever socialize back in the day. ever. -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 08:28 1
        
        Yep, huge deal when Duggan and Iron Sheik got busted for drugs in the same car. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 4, 08:47
        
        back then, it was a completely different animal than it was the last 10 years. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 08:25

  - well, at most he's 47 out of 48. -- nm - Max Jun 4, 08:14

        Is he your age? - musubi Jun 4, 08:17 3
        
        About 18 months younger, as he never ceases pointing out. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 08:18 2
        
        Did he go to school in the US? Maybe Word Up just never found an Aussie audience. - musubi Jun 4, 08:20 1
        
        He went to Brown. God knows what those communist hippy freaks did for fun. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 08:23
