I'll be down in July - I'll keep you posted on the dates, once everything is finalized. Looking forward to playing in Cali again!

Buffalo?? Hmm we're about 2 hours away - might make a trip down in the summer!

Happyyyyy birthdayyyy to youuuu!!

This is most certainly what I meant. I used the word "apparently"...which apparently isn't close enough to alleged. 

I know nothing of the situation. I wasn't there. Haven't dug into the situation at all.

Still, my concern is that the whole situation could've been avoided and that's what bugs me.

Yesterday I read in the news that a teenage girl (2nd one in a couple months that's made headlines) committed suicide due to bullying. This sucks. She was at a party with another girl and four guys. The girl left, she got wasted and apparently the four guys took advantage of this and "raped" her and took pictures and posted it online.

I'm all for the bullying/anti-bullying movement, but let's take a step back for a moment here.

WHERE IN THE BLUE HELL ARE THE PARENTS?

I'm sorry, but how do 6 teenagers get a hold of so much liquor and be left alone for so long that this can occur?? I know, I know, it happens all the time. It's easy, if you have an older sibling to hook you up....but this is ridiculous.

Not once in my life was I ever allowed in the same room with a girl unsupervised until I moved away to University! If we went into my bedroom, the door stayed open and if we even thought of going under the covers, we were reprimanded. I always had to call my parents when I arrived friend's house and had to call before I left.

At what point can we say - "Hey, if you didn't suck so much as a parent, this event wouldn't have occured and the bullying/anti-bullying wouldn't even be an issue (in this situation).

I know everyone's different, and situations are different, but this has got me so upset!!

Also, bringing your 6 month old to an NHL game...wtf, dude??

I honestly don't think I have EVER seen this card. Was it in the TMPT tin or the DA/TPT tin? I didn't buy either tin, but I don't recall every seeing it be played either. Hmm..

We don't use backlash decks, nor do we have SS cards in the "cube". The "cube" card selection, was just pretty random. We discovered after a few tries that Chain/Heat cards are a no-no so we took them out.

It takes tinkering, time, and house rules to get something like this up and running and to find a balance.

It's tough with Raw Deal due to the mechanics of the game. There's no way it'll work from scratch. ie - pick a wrestler and 60 cards and go...

What we do is draft starters (about 15 sets, then choose one to play). Then we have preset "starter decks" that come with about 20 cards, which are just standard 0F reversals.

From there, we dive into the cube (about 400-500 sleeved cards) and do a draft, build a deck of 60 cards and play 3-4 rounds.

The set up time is about 40-45 minutes, which is why we usually have a tourny and play 3-4 rounds.

Any more Q's let me know, I'll try to go into deeper details.

Buddha Dudley has done some finals matches off his webcam. As to how to find them, I think you have to look at older (a few months ago) California tournament reports.

He just debuted on NXT with his real name and no mask.

Can you maybe expand on this a bit? Carriage is a cute toy, and it's won me some games, but I've never lost because someone DTTAH'ed the carriage and I no longer had it. Maybe if you pitch 4 cards and they DTTAH again, it'd be game over...

I'm talking classic here, if you're talking virtual, carry on, I have no idea what's going on there.

They like to make fun of Canadians, better watch out!

Congrats on 1,000!

Don't even remember these teams, so they must not have been memorable.

I don't think that answered any of his questions. 

It all boils down to opinion. Some people hate Revo, some people got bored of Classic, and some people think AA is overwhelming. At the same time, some love Revo, some love Classic, and some love the challenge of AA.

There has got to be SEVERAL older threads dealing with this topic that you can find if you do a bit of digging.

I go on Facebook to see this:

"Iron Sheik THREATENS Olympic Committee -- 'I Swear to the Jesus I Suplex Them'"

 

This is the happy song,
It isn't very long!

Now there's a name I haven't heard in 5-6 years!! Oh, the memories.

I had both sets as well. Never really ever played Benoit, so I went onto the Singapore boards and found someone to buy my entire Benoit set, TB included.

I keep the non-TB as part of my Angle set, who I played a little more often, but never used that stip anyways.

I don't miss the card. I'm fairly certain I only ever used it once anyway. Now my Undertaker set...I don't think I could sell it for $500 and he barely has money cards (compared to the other Premier guys). Too much sentimental value for me.

We had a similar issue when my wife and I decided to move provinces. We had to find work, a house, and buy a car. Our issue was finding the right order - we couldnt get a house or car without a job, but didnt want a job that would be too far from our ideal community. It was a juggle, but we had all three within 2 weeks.

On the car note - we bought one because the public transportation was non-existent. If you can do without a car, do it. I break down our expenses monthly and a car costs as much as our rent does. On top of that, we have student loans that cost as much as our rent does. We both worked two-part time jobs for 50-60 hours each to make that happen. That's basically what it boils down to - if you want it to happen, you need to get resourceful and make it happen. Study on your commute, find a job closer to home, or school to cut travel time, etc.

We only lasted a year, doing two part time jobs. We weren't enjoying life as much as we wanted, so we moved back to our home province to use our networks to get better jobs. Within 1 month of being home, both of us have career jobs in our fields. If it can work out for me, it can work out for anyone.

So what are the rest of the numbers?? I need to know who to cheer!!

If this actually happens, I'm cyber-punching you. There is nothing "good" about that scenario 

Count me in.

I associate Union Underground with the  "Triple H era" and Papa Roach with the "John Cena era". Not my favourite times in wrestling...

They may not be much of a wrestling company these days?

Did you see Cena/Dolph tear the house down last week?? Did you see the Barrett/Orton match on Raw? Cena may be beating Dolph, but Ziggler is looking like a million bucks in the meantime. I'm 100% sure he'll be champ by or at Mania - no doubt in my mind.

For WWE, these past two weeks have been some of the best wrestling in a while in my opinion, but as you said, you're used to PWG standards and didn't watch it.

Oh the memories. Kurt Angle with this card (and its heel counterpart) was awesome!

I never owned Pat & Gerry, so never played this card to its full potential. Much preferred the heel counterpart, though.
