  1. It's not like they got the actor that does Bart Simpson, but it definatly seems to miss the mark
  2. There is more than 10, but depending on how you play through, you only get up to 10. Last I heard, anyways
  3. Was thinking the same thing. Give that guy his walking papers, please. On the plus side, the rest of the trailer was FREAKING AWESOME. my thoughts exactly edit: also kinda sad they didn't go with the cool silver logo
  4. Next season's big stories ... now By ROB MAADDI, AP Sports Writer The past few weeks certainly have shown that, in the NBA, there is no offseason. Even as the saga of the Lakers dominated the headlines, every other team in the league went about its business, signing players, hiring coaches, making trades. Similarly, the lowly scribes among us continue working, already getting started on the columns that will fill this space in the upcoming season. This might not exactly jibe with company policy, but I've put together a sneak peek at some of the things I'm already working on for next season. Have a look. November 15, 2004: Steve Nash and his new crew (cut) Point guard Steve Nash has been a perfect fit for Phoenix -- a little too perfect, say some friends of Nash, who signed a six-year deal with the Suns in the offseason. Nash's ability to run the fast break has boosted the play of the young, athletic Suns. That has helped the Suns move ahead of the Lakers in the Pacific Division and has Phoenix challenging the Kings for the division's top spot. But what strikes friends as odd is the way Nash has adapted to his very conservative surroundings in Arizona. He now sports a crew cut, after years of maintaining a floppy, hippie-style coiffure. He no longer courts actresses and singers -- he looks for dates at Daughters of the American Revolution meetings. Once a vocal critic of globalization, Nash now says, "Free enterprise is the only force for moral good in the world." December 10, 2004: Kidd is feeling sandwiched Just when the Nets thought they finally had pleased the team's star, Jason Kidd, the finicky point guard became ticked off with management last week when he noted that the sandwiches in the team's postgame meal were soggy. "They let them sit around too long," Kidd said. "I like them with oil and vinegar, but if you put it on too early and let them sit, the oil soaks through the bottom of the bread. How can I work in these conditions?" Kidd, of course, complained about the coaching style of Byron Scott last season and, eventually, Scott was fired and replaced by Lawrence Frank. Sources also noted that Kidd was upset over the summer when the Nets traded All-Star power forward Kenyon Martin for draft picks, in order to preserve payroll room. When the season got under way, Kidd got tired of Frank, and had him fired, too. In the last two months, he had the Nets hire and fire Phil Jackson, Mike Fratello, Lou Campanelli, Kidd's teenage cousin Sydney, the exhumed body of Jim Naismith and former presidential candidate Walter Mondale. The team is now being coached by Big Blue, the IBM supercomputer, but word is, Kidd is unhappy with Blue's sideline temperament. Meanwhile, the Nets, no longer the top team in the East, are behind the Knicks and the 76ers in their division. They have been unable to rebound and defend the middle with Martin gone, and with an unhappy Kidd running the team, heir once-feared fast break has stalled. "When I can get a sandwich with dry bread, I will play better," Kidd noted. January 22, 2005: Buy that man a comb Armed with the best inside-out combo in the league (Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming), Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy has stunned doctors, who report that the shiny-pated coach has been regrowing hair. McGrady's versatility and outside scoring have balanced Yao's increasing effectiveness on the inside. That has the young Houston squad on a 55-win pace and apparently has allowed Van Gundy to relax for the first time in his professional life. Doctors say the reduced stress on Van Gundy led to the follicular miracle. As for the coach, he is excited about hairstyle prospects and even says he is considering "a Billy Ray Cyrus thing." March 18, 2005: Odom is stunned by Bryant's passing fancy Lakers forward Lamar Odom was stunned into a turnover last week when a season-first took place during a victory in Los Angeles. Odom started the Lakers' offense by passing to Kobe Bryant at the top of the key and, to Odom's shock, Bryant passed the ball back. Unsure of what had just happened, Odom held the ball, staring at it until the 24-second clock elapsed. "I did not know what to do," Odom said. "There's nothing in our playbook that covers him passing it back." April 1, 2005: Shaq attacks In one fateful possession, Shaquille O'Neal showed why he is so valuable to the Heat and why his mere presence in Miami has boosted the Heat past Indiana to just below Detroit in the East. With 4 minutes to play in the second quarter in a game at Conseco Fieldhouse, O'Neal took a pass from Dwyane Wade and immediately backed in against the double-team of Jermaine O'Neal and Jeff Foster. Foster, absorbing the initial blow, landed on his derriere, bruised it, and will be out two to four weeks. Jermaine O'Neal's head flew back when he took on the secondary force, causing him to suffer whiplash. He'll be out for five weeks. Shaq, when told of the injuries he'd just caused, pointed out that, "Any way you look at it, trying to guard me is either a pain in the neck or a pain in the (posterior)."
  5. I dunno... that sounds like an awful lot of work. And besides, I think the graphics hardware we'd need for that is still at least a generation away. Crushing our dreams is no way to make freinds.
  6. So the Sith are all sulky because they're being ignored? more like bitter because they have been hunted down and killed or their plans for world domination have been crushed. I just have a very basicoutline of it all in my head, so one of the SW masters here would have to fill you in on what happened to whom and when.
  7. The jedi have beat up the sith several times in SW history before this Remember, they thought the sith didn't exist anymore. hence revenge
  8. Maby they won't effect K2 but what about K3? B) I knew that was coming.....well....then....you posted this in the wrong forum! HA!HAHA! Seriously, I could careless that people throw around ideas, but it seems people think that some of these can still effect K2....odds are they can't. Just wanted to make sure people understand, to the best of my knowledge, where the games at. Most of the points listed have already been addressed tho.
  9. Would you be working on Penn?
  10. Considering how late in devolpment the game is, you guys now these list prolly can't/won't effect K2. Sorry if taht burst someones bubble Isn't that a bit off? Kinda like having the player be Jedi Pete Smith. Doesn't make sense. Did you mean Darth? Careful, the SW timeline people will be all over you for that one. Almost all of his points have been addressed in some form during interviews or on the boards.
  11. I like it, spiffy logo as well
  12. Yea, they were "powerful"....but the jedi managed to kill almost all of them.....hence revenge.
  13. MIAMI (AP) -- Ricky Williams has told the Miami Dolphins that he's retiring after just five years in the NFL, The Miami Herald reported on its Web site Sunday. Williams said he was overjoyed by his decision. ``You can't understand how free I feel,'' Williams told the Herald in a cell phone interview Saturday before boarding a plane in Hawaii and heading to Asia to begin several months of travel. The 27-year-old running back, who started his career with the New Orleans Saints, said he plans to file his retirement papers with the NFL on Monday or Tuesday. Williams told Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt of his decision Friday and said Wannstedt tried to persuade him to reconsider. Miami opens training camp Friday. The Dolphins acquired Williams from New Orleans for two first-round draft picks in 2002, and he led the NFL in rushing that year. Phone messages left early Sunday with two Dolphins officials and Williams' agent, Leigh Steinberg, weren't immediately returned. ``I have no comment,'' Wannstedt told the Herald when asked about Williams' retiring. ``Players report Friday. Right now, it's a 10-day dead period. We'll get everybody started on Friday.'' Wannstedt acknowledged talking with Williams but declined to give details of their conversation. Williams said there was no chance he would change his mind. He said he has already told his mother Sandy, Steinberg, backup running back Travis Minor and friends and family of his decision. In May, three South Florida newspapers reported that Williams tested positive for marijuana and faced a fine of at least $650,000 for violating the league's substance-abuse policy for a second time since joining the Dolphins. But his attorney, Gary Ostrow, told The Associated Press: ``As far as I'm concerned, there is no violation.'' Williams told the Herald his failed marijuana tests had a minor influence on his decision to retire, but was only one of many factors. It didn't cause him to retire, he said, as much as reinforce his reasons for wanting to do so. Williams' two seasons with the Dolphins have been the best of his career. He set a team record with 1,853 yards rushing in 2002. He followed that with 1,372 yards last season.
  14. Sion is fine in my book, but Ni? Is that true? NE1 confirm?
  15. No...no...nope.....I see nothing but good coming form this
  16. I have to say, I hated both of those movies
  17. Anyone seen Tigerland, on the subject of good ole Colin? Good flick.
  18. see, Shaq was arrogant....but he was right. If you put the ball repeatedly in his hands, things open up.
  19. We do, but they always get stolen by American tourists. That may be, but an image reinacting the sinking of the Titanic as a warning is kind of tacky on your part. I thought Buffalo Soldiers and Dog Soldiers were nice surprises
  20. This does a pretty good job answering that
  21. It's not that she won't, but that she can't. You see, her vision is not so good as of late. During a recent trip to Canada she was struck by one of those sneaky icebergs while crossing the street. She is expected to make a full recovery. You guys should put up signs or something.
