Outlaw Star.

Pretty cool space odyssey type anime.

That’s Aisha ClanClan, the show’s resident muscle, pumping some iron.

Never heard of that anime before, guess what I’ll be watching tonight…

Thanks for the info.

IGN Top 100 Animated series List

Number 98. Clerks

This is what they had to say:

…Only six episodes were produced, and only two of them aired,…Blah Blah Blah

Pretty low standards for a “Top Whatever List”

So I just got done watching The Dark Knight again and was wondering, has Ledgers death killed the Joke forever? Will any one ever put The Joker in another Live action movie? Or who would ever want to try and bring him to life again?[/quote]

I would let him die. Anyone who does it now would have to do even better…which I just don’t see happening.

Fucking shit hell WHY?!?

There’s ALREADY a cowboy bebop movie. It’s animated, LIKE IT SHOULD BE.

Hollywood wants money. Why else would they do this?

Btw, does Uwe Boll (or some fan of his) have anything to do with this? Maybe he ran out of computer games…

Most productions lose money. I’m guessing this will be one of them.

I can’t access marketplace also I’m unsure on what else I’m missing out on, now is this due to me using a trial version or the firewall settings on my comp?(using a set up where an Ethernet cable is connected to my laptop which is connected to wireless Internet).

The Xbox 360 should either be plugged into a router or use the M$ 360 wireless modem to connect.[/quote]

I spoke with xbox support they said it would be fine to use the computer as a gateway

Outlaw Star was(is) the shit. Makes me reminisce about “Midnight Run” on Toonami back in the day.

Who was it who said Marvel was cheap?

$250,000 for Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke? That’s not even enough to pay for his plastic surgery.

When asked if he was insulted by Marvel’s offer, Mickey Rourke remained tight-lipped. And tight-chinned. And tight-foreheaded…

As the article says 1 is a fluke, 3 is a trend…this is just ridiculous. Just how much money in total did Iron Man make after all the movie and promotion costs???

The firewall needs to let port 88 UDP and port 3074 TCP+UDP through for XBL.

(The others, 53 and 80 are for DNS and HTTP… they should already be ok).

Hmmm… you seem to like shooters: http://profile.mygamercard.net/+/Jarradhouse

I let my Gold subscription lapse, but I’m thinking about starting it again. Horde is not as much fun alone. :slight_smile:

Well, there’s Papa Boll, Mama Boll, his dog Rex (and only because he’s getting treats). That’s pretty much the extent of the fan club I think.

Hey I am down for a Horde game if we are setting up teams. I am tired of playing with dudes who don’t have mics or who don’t pay attention to who needs to be revived. I was at this dudes feet screaming into my mic for him to revive me just for him to sit there like a douche shooting at wreches. Ohh those were dark times.

O man, this is funny to me.

I am for real, just picturing one of my friends(in my head and insted of Pootie) playing Gears2, standing on their feet and screaming into their mic for any reason is funny as hell.


Game Informer has an article about muscles in video games.

Beefcake: Hulking Shoulders? Barrel Chest? Square Jaw? Check.
by Meagan VanBurkleo

http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200901/N09.0114.1752.54712.htm?Page=1

Kind of a defeatist attitude in the writing, but its a persuasive paper about stereotyped males to counter the usual hooplah about the use of exaggerated female forms. The first two entries, Duke Nukem and Contra, make me miss the days of '80s action flicks: First Blood, Predator, Terminator, etc… My gripe about the article is she uses these as examples of near impossibility rather than inspiration.

On the upside she admits twice to liking muscles on the fellows.

  1. “With this in mind I decided to rally up some of the biggest ?beefcakes? in gaming history ? and not just to provide eye candy for the oft-ignored ladies.”

  2. “The combination of his stature and no-nonsense personality grounds him in a way that many other beefy characters fail to obtain. So I won?t complain. Especially since he is nice to look at.”

So its a win for the “chicks dig muscles” argument.
