Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back. Did y'all miss me? Anyhow, I wanted to put this in the "Your Religion/Beliefs" sticky but then I thought the topic I'm gonna share with y'all should be a thread on its on. So here I go....
I was watching this documentary yesterday and it really stood out to me.
I don't care what religious / spiritual beliefs you have (or what you don't have), but this is a must-watch for anyone. Don't be put off by the title and don't be derailed because of it's content. Here's the synopsis:
You can see it on youtube or Netflix or get it on DVD.
peace and blessings,
GTA
P.S. The guy who did this documentary wears a crazy bumper-sticker jumpsuit.
Who here is into hip hop instrumentals? Damu the Fudgemunk is good, and so is J Dilla, Metal Fingers (DOOM), DJ Shadow, etc. As a matter of fact Damu got a new album coming out tomorrow. Check it out.
from CNN:
Here's some of the latest info:
The remainder of my mom's family is down there (except one of her sisters/my aunt and her aunt. she's Haitian. That makes me part-Haitian as well.) This is heartbreaking news. But thank God that my cousin called today and said the fam is okay. I already sent $10 to the Red Cross for Haiti. Discuss.

Instead of calling the Babylon, shouldn't she just turn the bumbaclot game off and give him a beating for disrespect? What a waste of time.
OK, poll's over. We have a clear winner:
1st Place: Tekken 6
2nd Place: UFC Undisputed 2009
3rd Place: Street Fighter IV
My personal opinion:
I was hoping for Tekken 6 to win my vote, but I have to side with Street Fighter as my personal fighting GOTY. Although the graphics and gameplay and getting $$$ scenario campaign are good, the reasons why Tekken is not my personal winner are:
* Cheap AI
* Cheap Boss (Azazel)
* Cheap online players
* No Arcade Mode endings in Arcade Mode (the endings are in Scenario Campaign's "Arena" mode which is like a direct copy of Arcade mode. Fail.)
* Pointless Ghost Mode (although building up your fighters is nice, what's the true use of having ghosts?)
So my fighting GOTY placement is:
1st Place: Street Fighter IV
2nd Place: Blazblue
3rd Place: Tekken 6

Oh, by the way: MJ will be buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery on September 3rd. He was originally going to be buried there on his birthday (August 29).
***ATTN Mods: I don't know why the (youtube)(/youtube) code doesn't work with the new forum layout. Can you fix this please?
^^ Amen. I'm a Catholic Christian by the way, but what really bothers me is when people of the secular and religious sides try to force their beliefs upon one another. I'm instructed to respect the rights and beliefs of other people, but it becomes a problem when propaganda of both sides of the table gets a bit too far. As for atheism, I do have a couple of atheist friends who go to the same Catholic High School that I go to now. But I don't talk to them about stuff like this (I even have a few friends who are Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, etc.). We just gotta have more tolerance for one another and less bigotry and disrespect. Otherwise, it'll pretty much be Hell on Earth.
King of Fighters XI is out now, but it's not doing well at all.
IGN = 6/10
Gamespot = 5/10
G4's X-Play = 2/5
PS Magazine (USA) = 60/100
I'll have to pass on KoF XII. I mean, less characters, no boss, no King, no K', no MAI??, online is laggy.....I was gonna rent this too. This is a letdown in the KoF series, I suggest you buy KoF XI while it's still available. That's a whole lot better.
