  1. The Strokes - Is This It

    Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

    Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible (Their latest 'Send Away the Tigers' might be easier to get into though)

    The Killers - Sams Town

  2. The UFC are going to hold a fight night on the same night the Affliction 'Banned' pay per view is due to go ahead. (Tim Sylvia vs Fedor.) The card is looking promising for something thrown together at pretty short notice. For the main event Anderson Silva will be moving up to light heavyweight to fight James Irvin.

    Main event:

    UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva (21-4) vs. James Irvin (14-4) (Note that this is non-title light heavyweight bout)

    Under card:

    205 lbs.: Brandon Vera (8-2) vs. Reese Andy (7-1)

    155 lbs.: Frank Edgar (8-1) vs. Hermes Franca (18-6)

    265 lbs.: Cain Velasquez (3-0) vs. Jake O’Brien (10-1)

    170 lbs.: Anthony Johnson (5-1) vs. Kevin Burns (6-1)

    Smart move from the UFC. If done correctly they could kill off Affliction before its even started.

  3. UFC 85 tonight :D

    Brandon Vera's fight was stopped far too early

    By referee Dan Miragliotta... the same clown that was behind the Kimbo stoppage.

    Bisping was very impressive. Was kinda pissed to see Hughes lose though. I'm not a big Matt Hughes fan but he took that fight even though Alves came in to the weigh ins 4 pounds overweight which resulted in Alves having a big advantage imo. He could have just as easily refused to fight but instead saved a card that had already endured the most last-minute changes and adjustments than any other. He deserves a tremendous amount of credit for doing essentially everything that is asked of him.

  4. I wouldn't call that a premature stoppage. Haven't you seen the replays after those shots Kimbo gave Thompson? He was glazed over, man. One more punch and Thompson would've been unconscious.

    Bullshit. Kimbo took 71 consecutive unanswered blows from 1:20 until the end of round 2 and the ref didn't stop it. Thompson took 5 or 6 and he stepped in right away.

    Seemed that everyone was doing their part to make sure that Kimbo walked away with a victory, including one of the judges...

    If EliteXC had any credibility left its just been destroyed. No way in hell could a judge legitimately score that round in Kimbos favour.

  5. As per usual with your posts in this thread, you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.

    Most of the wii's sales are because the aim of the system. The wii could have just as many owner with a normal controller (like a NES controller for example) a majority of the sales come from the marketing and software the system is owning.

    Oh, and about the 2 90 minute cut scenes in MGS4. It's really simple, I don't think that no matter what, or no matter who is making a game, there should never be that kind of cut scene. It's a video game, it's meant to be played, and not to be watched.

    As per usual you're being a condescending dick.

    The aim of the system is to sell. The wii does this by presenting an alternative control system - motion sensory. Theres no way you can argue that most people buy the wii for anything other than the unique control system. What else do they buy it for? The amazing graphics? It's multimedia capabilities? The superior online system? The wii delivers a brilliant first impression and that's why it sells so well.

    As for MGS4, its a story driven series so the cut scenes are an integral part of the game. 90 minutes might be pushing it a bit but i'll wait until i've played the game and see how/if it disrupts the gameplay before I pass judgement.

  6. I think it had more to do with CBS, not wanting their "Poster" boy to lose.

    Exactly. The fact that they have Kimbo as a main eventer ahead of a title fight is ridiculous anyway. The guy's fought three professional bouts. Put him in against any of he top heavyweights in the UFC and i'm pretty sure they would hammer him. Hell, put him in against the likes of Eddie Sanchez, one of the lowest ranking heavyweights, and I would still bet against him.

    EliteXC is quickly becoming a joke. I wouldnt go as far as saying it's rigged either, but it wouldnt surprise me if Gary Shaw had a word with the referee before the fight.

  7. The Kimbo Slice fight was a disgrace. All the judges had Thompson well ahead on points before the stoppage.

    If Slice had've been beaten by a handpicked opponent and exposed as nothing more than a street fighter with no real MMA skills then Elite XC wouldn't have much of a future. No way should that fight have been stopped.

    The whole card was full of premature stoppages. I'm guessing its more than likely because CBS doesn't want its viewers watching people get hurt. If this is the case then MMA definitely doesn't belong on Network Televison. These are fights and people get hurt in fights. If you’re not willing to live with that, then don’t put the sport on your channel.

  8. I was upset that Jon "War Machine" Koppenhaver lost on the undercard.

    I was a Koppenhaver fan until I took a look at his blog... the guys a nut. Apparantly he wants to die in a knife fight in the Phillipines :lol:

    From WarMachineMMA:

    "So I have pretty much decided that in the next couple of years I am gonna move somewhere LESS CIVILIZED. After all, civilization and LAWS are in place to protect the WEAK anyway. Me being the Alpha Male, Spartan, SAVAGE that I am...I see no need for this type of B.S.

    I don't go around looking for trouble and am in no way a bully. Actually if it were my way I would never have fights outside the ring, just train all day and fuck all night...lol

    But when someone needs to be smashed or KILLED I would be more than happy to do it. Like for instance the other night...I was minding my business walking down the street and three drunk guys and two chicks walk by me and talk shit to me. Making fun of my haircut or some lame shit. Instinctively I want to smash their faces in, I mean that's what they deserve and what nature calls for. But instead I have to let their gf's make excuses for them so I do nothing and let these hooray for tolerance!s feel tough for a night.

    Why should I have to be less of a man to protect the rights and lives of lesser men?

    Why if I smash all three of their faces do I get arrested and prosecuted and no one asks them WHY THE FUCK THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HARASS ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!?

    As you all know I got in big trouble earlier this year for a similiar situation. Same type of thing. I was minding my business and some drunk dude talked shit and I terrorized him. Long story short and 20 grand later I ended up with probation and community service but was warned by the judge that a repeat would earn me prison time. So basically I am now walking on egg shells.

    So the plan is to move to the Philippines in the next two years. There the money I make in the UFC will make me very wealthy and there I will not have to hold back when someone deserves to get smashed.

    I wont have to be less of a man in order to prevent getting in trouble with the "law"

    I will be able to live my life how I want and deserve to live. I will train all day and fuck all night. Maybe one day I will find a wife, if not it's okay. I will bring my boxing coach and my jiu-jitsu coach with me. Build a team from scratch...this will be a great life. Hopefully before I am 55 I will die in a knife fight outside of some bar. Avoiding the midlife crisis all together.

    This is the life of an Alpha Male like me. We are not supposed to grow old and wait around to die. We are supposed to fight, kill and fornicate. Tempt fate more and more with each passing year...and just as we start to become weaker and older a younger Alpha kills us and takes our place.

    Yes, this is what I want, this is what I WILL have.

  9. tito-ortiz-machida-triangle1.jpg

    So close... I was really hoping Tito would pick up the win in the slight chance that he would stick with the UFC. Doesn't look like there's any chance of that now.

    I think I'm seeing a triangle choke from Tito but is it being countered or what? Any links to the full match online anywhere?

    Monty

    It was a triangle choke that he attempted to transition to an armbar in the dying seconds of the last round. Machida mananged to roll out of it.

    Heres a link to the match:

  10. After playing the demo of the haze I can see how it's failing so hard. It just felt like a shittier version of resistance. The whole Nectar concept doesn't really add a great deal to the game. After injecting nectar, which you seem to have an unlimited supply of, enemies start glowing and you can move somewhat faster. That's about it.

  11. Excellent, Setanta will now be screening PPVs live :D

    They have so far only been showing UK live events, will this include US events?

    Apparently, the deal is now: all UK live events, some other programming, and the occasional US one.

    Yeah I think they only managed to get half with the other half still airing on bravo. (not live)

  12. The second update doesn't take that long at all. Only took me about 10-15 mins.

    Have to agree with RTN on the actual game though. The control system is very awkward. Reloading takes too long and just seems to slow everything down. There's times where you're in a gunfight with some guy and when you both have to reload you're both just running around eachother and it looks ridiculous. The aiming system is a bit shit as well.

    I wasn't buying MGS4 for the online multiplayer anyway so i'm not really that dissapointed. The huge download and hassle with the I.D wasn't really worth it though.
