	A Sporting Conspiracy September 26th 2006, 14:09 CEST by deadlock i don't really care, but the sports thread is in danger of falling off the frontpage (If this topic gets voted in, in fact). this topic can be the new one. just to doubly annoy certain people, it can also be the new thread in which jokes calls us fukkan morons. preferably without shitty links. poo.

Dumdeedum:

The disconnect can be entertaining though, there was an episode of NCIS a while back where they were calling each other wankers and viewed with British sensibilities it was excellently surreal.

It's very much a British Isles word though, isn't it?

Pathetic.

British and commonwealth, a former team supervisor in 2wire is from Australia and uses it.

the pronounciation of it, does vary quite a bit

from the waaankaaaaa, to the wangkuh, to wankarr, truly a most expressive word.

Sweet. I thought this might be a thread talking about sports, but it turns out to be the regular ol crap.

The Japanese may make all the cars, the Chinese all the clothes and the French all the, um, Frenchmen. But damn if we don't lead the world in catchphrases.

None, it's in the TV rips that float around the internets. Or just take a look at this. Of course, I can't prove to you that it came from the show that actually aired.

Ok thanks to a jjz irc link I'll concede that it aired, however not that it aired in the US. This makes far more since, expecially considering the usual suspects aren't bitching up a storm about it.

So...the talk radio around here seems to be focusing on the whole T.O. thing. Discuss (it's the sports thread, I'll look away).

So, Ninja Gaiden is hard....any version really. Anybody else think Okami's visuals are a bit too blurry? I got used to them after an hour or so but it was a bit jarring at first.

One of the reports from Tokyo game show said the PS3 Ninja Gaiden is just the Xbox version looking nicer and being harder. Considering Ninja Gaiden was hard as hell, that sure doesn't interest me.

Nah, there's additional material, aside from the graphical improvements. New playable character, new bosses, new environements, additional features to old ones, dual sword fighting, etc.

"More intense gameplay" = unforgivably difficult. No thanks.

Here's a link to a trailer. Keep in mind it's not direct feed so the color is a little washed out, but at least the camera is steady and people aren't walking in front of the screen.

Er, a Ninja Gaiden Sigma trailer. I never played the XBox version, not having an XBox, but maybe I'll give it a shot. I'm not a fan of hard either. We'll see.

I've seen both that the pills made him sick, but that it was a suicide attempt.

Maybe he didn't like the taste and decided to end it all.

Regardless, if he comes back for the game vs. the Eagles on the 8th, it's going to be a very interesting time.

Ah, so there is more new material. I had heard one new character and a couple of bosses. Still, too hard for me to enjoy, I think I replayed the first boss fight 6 times before figuring it out. I gave up on the game not long after that.

No. U of P is a private school with satellite branches all over the state as well as online, not a state-funded public university. I take it Trunks doesn't get that.

?

#1. The Cardinals played up until this year at Arizona State University, not U of A.

#2. They have a new building this year. U of P wants to buy the naming rights.

#3. Yes, but MONSTER PARK was already taken as far as lame names go.

Anyway, that name's not guaranteed. It still has to go to a vote before the supervisors. Doesn't matter to me. I've never been a fan of corporate naming rights, so names don't faze me.

I know. I dread the day that Major League Teams take on corporate names for the actual team. It's happened with smaller sports and leagues, but the day the San Francisco Rice-A-Ronis take on the New Jersey Summer's Breezes will be a sad one indeed.

I would reckon most people would rather have creatively named stadiums as opposed to corporately named ones. Corporate "sponsorship" of sporting events is absurd. The "Chex Mix" great bowl of the game™ for example. I am glad I am not a broadcaster.

'Course, people can take those corporate names and change them into creative ones. Within 5 minutes of the new Eagles' stadium being named Lincoln Financial Field, people in the area were calling it the Linc. This pissed off Lincoln Financial people, who paid some ungodly sum for the name, and the president of the company even went around pleading for people to call it the full name. Everyone laughed at him and eventually he capitulated, because there was no way he would win.

Warner will play this week. If he keeps struggling, expect Leinart next week against KC or the week after Monday Night Football.

We used to call General Motors place the garage, but we're not allowed to anymore on pain of death.

Today Officer Coon, Officer Nigger-hater, and Officer Keep-darky-down were acquitted of all racist charges.

I'd be fine with corporations slapping their name on a stadium if they paid the full price to build it. However, when GM gets to slap its name on the Canucks' home rink for something like a million dollars a year when it cost a hundred million to build, that's just crass.
