An Aussie geek stuck in Texas

[tag]UFC[/tag]Okay so yes Matt Hughes beat Royce Gracie hands down but was the fight maybe staged? Gracie was obviously not fazed by Hughes’s ground & pound and actually got up smiling after big John stopped the fight. What was with that? Why was he smiling? Was it all just a big publicity stunt? If I was Gracie and had a call like that go against me then I’d be pissed especially if it didn’t prevent me from being able to smile.

It reminds me of a Renegades (no closed fists above the shoulders) fight I once saw where one guy was “ground & pounded” with open handed slaps, I think the receiver was laughing about it actually but the referee stopped the fight and gave it to the person doing the slapping! The crowd almost erupted into an all out brawl between the two gyms that coached the fighters, it was actually a bit scary as I was actually there and not watching it on TV.

[tag]Nintendo[/tag]Well folks it isn’t supposed to be out until Friday but apparently nobody told Best Buy that and the best girlfriend in the whole world bought it for me on her way home from work. It is so much fun playing a new Mario platformer, yes it isn’t original but who really expected something original out of it? It is just plain good fun and that is what a game is supposed to be all about! Although that isn’t to say it doesn’t have any new original gameplay as things like giant Mario are a hoot!

Anyway please excuse me while I go and play some more!

[tag]Nintendo[/tag]Funniest email subject ever!

It was from an email Nintendo sent out about why buying your mum that Brain Age aegm for Mother’s Day was a good idea, personally I find that a very hard sell even if it may be true in some cases as the last thing you want to do is insult your mum!
