January 01, 2006

I was accused yesterday of being sad. Not sad in the depressed sense of the word either. Now let’s just review the evidence shall we?

Ultimate Warrior DVD - he breathes the air that smells of combat

September 09, 2005

I’ve got 137 of 150 stars on Mario 64 DS. I should never have started playing it - all other games I ever play on it will seem crap by comparison.
Saw the new WWE Ultimate Warrior DVD tonight. Unlike other DVDs that WWE puts out, the sole reason they’ve released this is to bury the [...]
