Haha Imp. I hate that song, but I had to play it on YouTube just so I could read the lyrics with the right pacing. Well done, sir!

Originally, I started dueling because I was brand new to the internet and was amazed at the fact that there were publicized records and ranks. This was years before things such as the Diablo ladders, Xbox Live and other online scoreboards. As I got more acclimated with the role playing, I still pref...

https://sites.google.com/site/tricklebrook/roleplay/duel-of-swords Is this really what the matrix looked like, originally, or is this guy just wrong? I don't believe that I tried DoS until 1993/94, so this guy would pre-date me by about five-to-six years. Wow that matrix is crazy. If you ever wante...

Should definitely make this a rule, G. Having to survive a gauntlet AFTER winning the Diamond Quest is such a pain ;)

GSP and Condit just put on a hell of a fight. Yeah, Condit came close to finishing GSP, but the head kick was more of a hail mary IMO. GSP is a grinder, like Jon Fitch and others who don't often finish their opponents, but simply overwhelm them in a "safe" way. I have incredible respect f...

Guess i can be the odd man out here. I dont like watching MMA or UFC fighting just for the fact that its fighting for entertainment. See i am a black belt in Tae Kwon do, where you are taught to fight defensively. So fighting for entertainment just disgusts me I don't want to put words in your mout...

For news, I use:

www.sherdog.com

and

www.bloodyelbow.com


Stay off the Sherdog forums, though, unless you need comic relief.

Also, www.thefirstrow.eu is great for live events. Lots of initial pop ups but you can close them after 30s or so.

My two favorite sites for watching old MMA fights are:

www.mma-core.com

and

www.mmalinker.com


Of course, they're in the nature of professional MMA fights and not the joke fights like the one you first posted with the korean girl.

What I didn't understand is why they weren't using Beasley's speed in the last 10 minutes of the game when everyone was tired. Very few long ball attempts. Why didn't we use the last sub for McBride or someone else up front? Overall it was a great game for us, but when it was 9 v 10 we should have b...

::a simple missive is tacked to the board in response to the Baron's message::

As is my tradition, the match shall be fought in a single duel format, and as my station makes clear there will be no Overlord Intercession. My ...
