The key didn't work, did it? I thought that might be the case. So I just invented this "Machine that Opens Doors, especially when you have a slightly bad key." Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ness used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily.

Ness used Protractor! Now, he can fairly easily figure out the angles of various things.

Don't you think my eyebrows rock?

The fad for the early parts of this topic will be EB quotes. It is inevitable.

*Extrapolated Standings*

Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
http://sc2k5.com/drupal/node/11

Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

CJ looks so ****ing generic in it, nothing like the one for his char description.

Mario's Path to Victory: Round 1 - (8) Joanna Dark

As he walks the path of life...his name is called for..chanted by those, his fellow Elites, his equals, who know the power of his prose...as the noobs, fanbabies, and nerdboys cower in the darkness...afraid the truth of their blind loyalty will be brought forth before their judgment clouded eyes...

He answers the call with a tip of his BoSox cap...draws forth his pen to compose the very column that has increased Stats thread readership by 23.39%... He is...

The Sage of Board 8, Steve Illumina

Hahahaha, greetings gamers the world over...the time has come to write once more...be afraid kiddies, be very afraid indeed...

And so for 2005 it begins, in the 'Shiitake' Mushroom Division..

(4)Ness vs (5)Carl Johnson

Steve's Pick: Carl "Big" Johnson
Fanboy-O-Meter: Favors Ness!
Upset Odds: It will be an upset, technically...
Match Fun Factor: 7/10: Damn decent...but Thanatos vs Carl would have been closer! :)

Comments: This match allows for me to take 2 angles, but since one of the angles involves the controversy surrounding the projected winner's game series, I will save that for his round 2 match with The King, instead focusing on bashing the fools who wasted a nomination on this worthless dated RPG hasbeen who cant win a match against anyone...and that, my loyal readers, is eggboy Ness...

I say it every time, and I will say it again...what is the matter with peeps anymore? I am all about loyalty to characters, but this goof? A one game, one semi-hit wonder from 15 or so years back gets in??? But guys like Shadow the Hedgehog, Goro, and Palmer get left out??? Rubbish!

Determined to get to the bottom of this farce, I enlisted the help of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, who did a phone tap on Ceej's phone. Here are the results:

"ring ring"

Ceej: Hello

???: Yah, this is 'Mr. U', and you know what I want...

Ceej: Ummm??? Money?

???: No, I want my boy Ness in the contest. Rig the noms, kick Bomberman out...do what you have to. Just get my boy in.

Ceej: But..but..he is a loser... He cant win a match...he is like CATS II or something...

???: I dont care. Ness gets in, or else...

Ceej: Umm..ok...but...

???: No buts! *click*

And so the mysterious Mr. U made the call and Ness, RPG jobber that he is, got in. And yes my loyal fans, he will lose yet again...and I will delight in it!

Prediction: CJ busts a cap in that egg shaped rear of jobber boy Ness by a decent margin thanks to the casual voters, and in so doing breaks the hearts of dated fanboys still trapped in the late 1980's playin Earthbound on their dusty old Super NES's...

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Ness is approaching the 200 vote lead. if this lead breaks 1000 by the time i wake up tomorrow, i will curse CJ and all things GTA for sucking exponentially. i really thought being the #1 game in America right now would put CJ over the top. i guess we'll see if the day vote goes any better, but if i remember correctly, Vercetti lost the day vote to DK, so that's not a good sign.

also, how many brackets do you expect took CJ, anyways? i'm guessing that a good 70% at least went with him. the perfects could get whittled down pretty quickly this time around.....

I'm not scared at all. I expect CJ to be very much like Diablo. CJ will do horrible with the night vote and come back huge in the daytime.

make that: approaching the 250 vote lead. yeesh.....

man, i guess we really should have paid more attention to Tenpenny's absolutely craptacular performance. it kept nagging at me in the back of my head, but i really hoped that CJ's increased prominence and the recently hyped "sex mini-games" would put CJ over the top. =(

never underestimate SSBM!!

Somebody was saying earlier how Vercetti either ties or loses the day vote and Ness usually wins out on it...so I'm scared about that. Otherwise, it's still early, so I'm waiting on this situation longer before I get real scared 'bout it.

I said to myself after the last contest: "never underestimate SSBM and never underestimate blizzard." so what do I do? take CJ over Ness and take Kratos over Diablo. I am an idiot.
