The All Cup isn't near the finish. You've got to do the whole lot again in Mirror Mode to finish it.

My fave combo is Yoshi and Boo, driving Boo and Petey's Metal cart  :)

After several correspondences (shoot me, I can't tell if I can spell or not) with EA technical support I finally got Sim City 4 running on my new computer, which has made me very happy.
And the guy at EA Tech Support seems really nice too. Such nice people.   :D

/edit - here's an idea that will likely get on ya nerves but what the hell - I told a joke to some customers who didn't laugh but I didn't crease with embarasement: I'm on a roll tonight! - why don't we a list a couple of games we can think of, then discribe exactly what would have happened if we pressed LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B, DOWN in that order?
It's just an idea.

You know that you are the best when you can beat 2 Giants in a handicap match on hard difficulty in WCW REVENGE. This will be the 3rd time I have suceeded in such a task and I feel like I am the worlds greatest, no one here can make that claim now!  :evillaugh:

Hmmm.... give me five minutes and I'll try it. Did you have tornado on or off?


*Edit* took me 20 min to put them away but I just did in on hard with the handicap max in their favor and min in mine. I was Raven and it was a No DQ and tornado handi cap match. Tried to do it with Bishoff first (Now that would be something) but, I onlt lasted 4 min before they did a double team power bomb on me and knocked poor bish out.

But this is the off-topic section.

Now that I've got SimCity 4 actually working properly, I'm really looking forward to getting SimCity 4 Rush Hour, though I'm expecting Hidden & Dangerous II for Christmas - both would be nice.

Ooooh I play Battlefield. Me and someone have started a clan but we only have 4 people. We could team up to form one clan but I will have to talk it over with the other members.

I No tag format of course, the deed would be worthless if you kept tag format on.

I always use Jeckel, since he is Dr. Death.

and sure KO'ing them is good, but have you ever tried pinning to win?(and no, I haven't, I always KO or submission.

Yeah, and this may cause me to get flames by Coop, but when I see an awards show, I don't expect to see a wrestling match. Or even a WWE Smackdown winning the title of Best Fighting Game of the Year. At least have the wrestlers duke it out in their own videogame.

I got nothing against wrestling but these awards were either rigged or the ballots had hanging chads. EA Sports must've paid them money just to get on that list. To see what I'm complaining about, here are the finalists and the winners.

I did an Evenflow DDT on one giant and quicky tossed the other outside the ring, then pinned the first. So to answer your question, yes  :).

While we're on the subject of wrestling games, did you ever play any of the Fire Pro games Coop?

Regarding the PEEL clan name: why is no one pushing for "The Fighting Mongooses"? Because that's a sure-fire winner in my book.

First of all, I agree they should have saved the match, it was a poor bussiness move.

Also, Smackdown is MUCH better than soul calibur 2, plain and simple.

Soul Calibur 2 destroyed any credible story it could have had when they decided to put in extra characters from other franchises (A tactic usually used by those who DESPERATLEY need sales), but then again people don't play fighting games for a story do they? Soul Calibur was perfect for button mashers.

Smackdown however has a HELL of a lot of replayability. There's so much to unlock and so many story paths to take. It was much better than DJV(which was good) and Sould Calibur 2.

*EDIT*
Yes, I own Fire Pro Wrestling D. Terry Gordy and Dr. Death are THE coolest. I dominate all with them.

That's not true at all. Just look at the Super Smash Bros. games; they mix and match Nintendo franchises like there's no tomorrow, but it's not a sign of desperation.

It's true that button-mashing can get you far in a game amongst new players, but pit any veteran player who knows the moves against a button-masher and the veteran will win every time. Super Smash Bros. was similar: the controls were simple enough for a newcomer to understand, but vets who knew the best combo moves and techniques could easily beat them. The learning curve is designed so that you're not frustrated right from the start, but you want to practice to get better.

And I doubt the legitmacy of any awards show that says "Enter The Matrix" was better than "Knights of the Old Republic" or "Return Of The King", and heralds "Madden 2004" as Game of the Year over "Splinter Cell" and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City".

I gotta agree with everything that LAN.gnome says. Button-mashers are gonna attack blindly, but they're predictable to veterans in the game. Newbies generally cannot guard well and will be surprised to have many of their attacks cancelled by veterans.

About the awards, I find it strange that Tony Hawk's Underground wins Best Sports Game while Madden 2004 wins Game of the Year (how can best game overall not win best sports game!). Just announcing the winners and not the finalists was also kinda disorienting.

Spike TV sucks anyway, the only good shows on there are Raw and Gary The Rat.

*Back on Topic* I got "Mario & Luigl: Super Star Saga" for Game Boy Advance the othe day. It's a pretty sweet game.

@LAN.gnome:

Yes, but smackdown is a lot easier to learn. Me and my friends(who were n00bs) spent hours in Elimination chamber.

BUT, I will say that it depends on what type of game you like. To each his own, no argument there.

This I have to agree with. All I could think was "Madden 2004?? Why the hell is THAT game of the year??" I was just appauled.

I used to be a fan of Sega at one time.  I still have my Sega Dreamcast and I play whenever I'm bored.  I just don't have any Sonic games no more.  I sold them in a garage sale we had.

 yeasterday i went against my boyfriend in Soul Calibur 2 (where are the black women?) i did ok I couldent beat him whene he was Link, Im sure if I had I would have damaged his manhood or something.
I really want to play Mario Kart, It has daisy! Daisy! shes my favorite, i played it at the store it was very fun i picked Daisy and WaLuigi in the wario cart. woo i won! i cant wait to buy it.
