Hasselhoff's crowning glory was probably the short lived Baywatch Nights which was kind of like what would happen if Baywatch and Miami Vice had a baby and dropped it head first on a hardwood floor.

That, or "I've Been Looking for Freedom"

They're a good' date=' fun rock band. Toys in the Attic, Pump and Done With Mirrors are all solid rock albums.

Everyone's quick to write them off because they're such a massive 'brand' band nowadays, but in their heyday, they wrote great rock albums, looked fucking great and walked it like they talked it.[/quote']

Cool, I'm not much into my "rock", really. I feel a bit guilty for asking you to "justify" them as thats arsehole behaviour on my part. Sorry 'bout that.

These are both wrong answers.

Please justify Aerosmith. They must be the only people who can do a song with Run DMC and still produce an annoying song.

Erm...yes! imagine the possibilties! You could perform your own moves!

Imagine you were playin Soul Calibur as Mitsurugi. You could slash your opponent with your sword and choose to slash sideways' date=' up, down whatever you wanted![/quote']

I agree that sounds really, really cool but not practical. The Soul Calibur games have never played like that and unless Namco did a Revolution only version (which I imagine would be pretty costly) which completely changed the dynamic that's worked with the series so far, it's probably not viable. I'm not trying to shit on this idea, I'm just nervous for Nintendo. I want them to succeed.

Having said that, I'm excited about what this could mean for Zelda games and Metroid games

if you dont like it...........shut the fuck up......you can still use cube pads on the revolution

gdnght xxx

If that's directed at me' date=' read my post again.

I've got no problems with the pad, but it could make some conversions difficult and potentially scare away third-party developers.

I've got a couple of problems with article:

Mr Iwata said the Revolution controller and console was aimed at converting new users to gaming who were scared off by the fast pace of existing games.

"If we can't do that, we might as well stand back and watch the market die off," he said.

Mr Iwata was later heard to add: "so you can play Mario Wand (or whatever) and like it!! Also, if you've been playing Nintendo games for years and would like to play them without gimmicks I guess you can go eat a bowl of dicks! You can even use our pad as a spoon to shovel them into your mouth!!!!!!!!!!"

I'm using sarcasm to prove a point, but I'm really worried that the typically conservative Western market will run a mile from (frankly unasked for) innovation. Having said that, we've seen plenty of sales of dance pads, cameras and steering wheels in recent years so I could be wrong. I trust Nintendo to pull this off, but will it mean the end of some developers relationship with Nintendo? I guess we'll have to wait 'til we see the "traditional pad" this thing slots into.

The Revolution's controller can be used to fight with on-screen weapons such as swords or control vehicles and characters but was also capable of representing quite delicate movements, said Mr Iwata.

This DOES sound cool and you've got no soul if you disagree, but I hope third-party developers can get to grips with using it. THAT'S my biggest fear.

Tool - Seriously' date=' stop telling me how "deep" they are. I've never met a Tool fan who was a nice person. I have the creeping suspicion that Tool's fans would love Good Charlotte if they had videos of puppets drinking jars of bees and 15minutes of clowns crying at the start and end of every song.

The Mars Volta - If your song is longer than four minutes, nobody is listening but you and probably some ass who pretends to like Jazz. I think all the Tool fans like Mars Volta now because everyone noticed Tool were just a nu-metal band.

Audioslave - At least RATM were funny because rich kids danced to them and pretended to be socialists...

Aerosmith - If Paris Hilton was music...

HIM - I find HIM's success completely unfathomable. Their songs sound identical, they're connected to Bam Margarine and even their logo is annoying.[/quote']

EDIT: Um, THEY'RE not their. Fixed now.

hmmmm. sounds kinda interesting' date=' i'm sure nintendo know what they're doing.[/quote']

Nintendo are kind of like an old man in the community who gives free sweets to children and tells genuniely funny, clean jokes to you on the way home from school and lets you pet his dog and you think he's awesome but then some teenagers decide he's weird and beat him up and set him on fire even though he's innocent.

In other words, I love them dearly but they start needing to listen to consumers rather then telling them what they want and shoving it down their throats. I trust them to produce some great in-house games to support this thing, but it might shaft multi-platform ports. Could you imagine playing a beat 'em up on it?

Probably more for you geeks like me out there but have any of you been keeping tabs on a web hosting company called directNIC? They operate from the middle of New Orleans and have throughout the entire disaster so far managed to stay online and keep their customer's web sites up and running. It is simply quite amazing what these engineers are putting themselves though.

They have a blog online here with regular updates of their on-going struggle. It also gives an interesting commentary on what is going on in New Orleans that seems to be often at odds with the mainstream media's reports (surprise' date=' surprise).

What worries me about all this hurricane madness is that this web site is hosted in Florida. Does anyone know if hurricanes ever make it as far as Orlando? ?([/quote']

Is DirectNIC the company SA had their servers on? Something Awful went down due to having their servers in New Orleans, got them up and started to start a charity drive and then got shat on by shitty service at pay pal. RAGE!

I don't like how Henry Hoover rolled his eyes at me like a petulant, sarcastic little shit so I stuck a converse right in his fucking face and then did a dragon punch.

It was supposed to be a joke' date=' but then I realised......it, and I, aren't funny....[/quote']

I thought it was great. Like Andy Capp for the 21st century.

One time I was in Solid Gold and Marvel Superheroes had just come out on the Saturn and some first years was playing it and some first year said "Spider-Man is crap. If he has the power of a spider you could just step on him." but I pointed out it was the proportionate strength of a spider in a really snotty, indignant voice and thought I was cool but I was arguing about a 2D game on the Sega Saturn about superheros punching each other so I guess that kid won in the end.

My point is that spiders are pretty tough and are fast. If they were horse sized we would either be destroyed by them or maybe we would ride around on them and have fast races.

Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a man.

I think it's awesome. It means my genitals don't look like rotten ham and in todays high-tech world this is definitley a plus in the world of business.

EDIT: I'd rather listen to Avril than the Sex Pistols. Not that I dislike punk, just that I think the Sex Pistols make better cultural icons than they do musicians. Which is kind of the point, but being iconic doesn't mean you produce something essential.

Bit of both?

Yeah. I don't know if theory boxes you in. I mean, half the fun I find is purposely breaking the "rules" which results in some cool sounding stuff.

haha' date=' i was actually worried for a second when i saw the tiltle.[/quote']

I'm annoyed it was a joke. I came in to make a crack about Michelle McManus falling over.

Oh god, never let me use "Michelle McManus" and "crack" in the same sentence again.

Oh yeah' date=' but still , you have to laugh a her[/quote']

I'd laugh at her while having sex with her then I'd smack her in the face with a Clash record.

can anyone recommend a good website where I can find character listings/information on the x-men? also' date=' any info on the new film would be cool too...[/quote']

Try the forums at comicbookresources.com or try http://www.uncannyxmen.net

Anything I can help with?

Avril's embarrasing, but I find the whole hardcore "who's selling out?/who's straight edge?/who's the most politically active?" the most damaging thing ever to happen to punk as it bred musical stagnation and elitism. The whole thing's a bit cringeworthy and childish.

All Avril's doing is speaking ill of the dead. Sure, it's disrespectful, but it's not like she's really harming anybody. Bless.

Seems a few people liked Lapsus or Amanda.

I'm quite obviously a total mark for the Dresden Dolls, so who I prefered is a no-brainer, but I was genuinely disappointed by Lapsus.

The Lapsus Lingaue stuff I've heard on CD had been fine, but live they were nothing but a pretentious dirge. I thought that was a damn shame.

Any word on this?

I read that the label had hired a Private Detective to find her and while part of me thinks that a private detetive on the trail of a missing jazz singer is a great story, it's a little sad.

Two hours? I just squealed like a little girl!

Have to add myself to the legions asking if there are still tickets left. I got mine back in June (?) but I have friends who're leaving it to the last minute, thus freaking me out.

yeah' date=' the moons ace

"i am the moon"

"one time i saw the other one, he is the sun, it was an entotol eclispst, and i licked his back"[/quote']

"You're all in my perhipheral visuals!"

I have to admit I've only really enjoyed the moon in the new series. If the whole show was that funny it'd be classic.

Aberdeen's fire engines are white, which is a bit rubbish. I always think they're ghost fire engines and "fire engines" is an inaccurate name because they actually shoot water. I'd still give them 78% on Gamefaqs,

Amanda pretty much is The Dresden Dolls from what I can gather.

I think most of the first album was written without Brian, so I'm guessing we're likely to hear a lot of "Dresden Dolls" tracks. Regardless, I'm confident we're all in for a treat tonight.

Brian is a great drummer and a fantastic entertainer live, though.
