When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

The lightning master from that movie inspired the Mortal Kombat character Raiden.

Hehe, yeah. And coincidentally, Raiden, along with Subzero, was my favorite character in MK. I still remember the blood code from Sega: ABACABB.

I remember all of the finishing moves from the arcade version. Raiden and Subzero were very good, but I liked Liu Kang, aka Bruce Lee.

Did you (royal) know that Bruce Lee fought Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the movie Game of Death?

Scorpion, baby.

I remember how easy that game was. You could beat Goro but just going into the corner and doing repeated backflip kicks...

Scorpion was great as well, but that teleporting punch would leave you seriously vulnerable if your opponent blocked it. Kano was mostly useless, but he did have an excellent finishing move. What is your favorite finishing move?

Did anyone play Pit Fighter on Genesis?
 
I cannot wait for this to come out: [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--N9klJXbjQ[/YOUTUBE]
 
Mortal Kombat was definately epic, but was trumped by its sequel. Truth be told (and to show my complete dorkness) I was ranked nationally in Mortal Kombat 2 and even got to travel around the country for a few tournaments. Actually, while on a cruise in the caribbean, I ran into the guy I lost to in a tournament in Dallas. I wiped the floor with him and he refused to play against me the rest of the cruise.

While it was early in life (I think I was like 13 or 14 at the time), I got to scratch "being a professional video game player" off my list of things to do in life. Character of choice: Kitana. Ahhhh, those were some good times.

I loved this game. Favorite fatality: anything removing an organ. I think subzero's was the one that snatched the head off with the spine still attached. Skillz.

Another epic game: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1,2,3,4......

Mike Tyson's Punch Out. 😀

I revisited this game after a 20 year hiatus. I finally destroyed Mike Tyson. Battletoads, however, was created by sadists. That and Ghosts and Goblins will haunt me until I reach my grave.

rofl . . . I was going through some of my old **** the other day and came across some old NES games I had put away from the others for some odd reason. Anyhow, battletoads was one of them and I had to pop it in and play it. Then and now, it was easy to beat, it definately requires some patience in certain parts, though.

While it is slightly more new school then old (imo), the best game ever, to this day: Goldeneye for N64.

Speaking of MK, there's a new movie coming out in 2010!!! 😉
 
Apparently I'm drawn to gossipy, trashy novels. My goodness, I need a life...

That game was a bloody headache. Never did get past like the third level.

Kids have it good today. I can't count how many times that damn NES machine would freeze up at just the wrong time. And everyone had their own unique voodoo-type ritual to get the games to work. It's like you had to revive them with CPR or something after they were only 3 months old.
 
Alright, it's clear at this point you're just going to keep repeating the same things regardless of what I say so I guess we might as well wrap this up.

We’re not letting you on the White Guys Playing Basketball™ team then. (You don’t actually believe I’m a racist now, too, do you?)

And all we ever said was, "Well, no ****, you are evolutionarily preprogrammed to think that way. I'm I supposed to take a crackheads' word for the awesomeness of crack, too?"

Crack probably is pretty awesome in how it makes you feel, or are you going to deny that too? Crack isn’t bad because of that, it’s bad for what it does to every other part of your life. Can you say that same thing about children?

The bottom line now is that you claim I said having children is selfless and then somehow attacked your life because you didn't have children. I didn't do either, you are the one who started all this by being inflammatory. Are you seriously going to claim that you currently have just as many responsibilities as you would if you had a newborn at home to take care of? Of course not, no one would argue that. Does that mean that when you have a kid you are a better person? Of course not, no one would argue that. ****ty people don't have children, ****ty people have children. The simple act of parenthood does not change one's overall moral character, and never did anyone say otherwise.

My old roommate in college spent 4 months dedicated day and night to defeating Ghosts and Goblins and could not do it. He beat shadow Link in Zelda II (which wasn't easy), but G&G is still the bane of his existence.

Lucky for me I didn't get into video games until Genesis and never found a game I couldn't beat* simply because games became easier and easier to beat. All it takes now is time investment.

*I used to have heaps and heaps of problems trying to get past the magic carpet level in Aladdin on the Genesis. That game was ****ing good.

I remember playing Rainbow 6, and Mario Bro's.
 
I'm not much for video games, not much at all actually, but I used to love to watch my older brother play them. I was more of a board and card game kinda gal.

I used to love me some solitaire. 😀

I also liked to play Connect Four, Memory, and Blackjack.

I played Cadillac with some friends back home a couple of weekends ago; it was ok.




If I could work 12pm to 10 pm four days a week, I think I'd be on "Cloud 9". Even 12pm to 8pm 5 days a week would be good. I guess I'll just have to stick to evenings, though, considering the way that companies like to schedule pharmacists. Maybe if I go to some place hurting for pharmacist, I'll be able to swing custom shifts or overnight funliness. ??? 🙂

Let 'em burn! (or at least let 'em feel the heat)

A very interesting quote from the article:
"The plan Mr. Obama is to announce on Monday will also include government backing of warranties for G.M. and Chrysler cars and trucks, to give consumers enough confidence to buy them, even if one or both are forced into bankruptcy."

Is it fair for the gov't to back warranties for these companies and no other automakers? I don't think so.

The foreign auto makers can rot in hell and, yes, it's not fair to Ford.

You should try Spider Solitaire. 😵
 
A long ass time ago, the Italians and Grecians out of Rome tried to conquer all of Europe. They almost did...until they got to Northern Ireland and got their asses handed to them by a bunch of hilljacks called the Ulster Scots who resisted their pansy-ass "greatest army in the history of the world" like they weren't ****. Scots-Irish, baby. We own you. And we got a good Scots-Irish boy leading out boys to the promise land. Coach Huggs, baby. WVU will be in the final four soon...

I still haven't made it the the Motherland, either.

I guess trips to Latvia just aren't that popular.
