Leftovers

Ok. I need to start on a big ol’ post queue so I’m going to clear out all of the loose ideas that I wrote down


- Here are the stats from a match in Fight Night: Round 2

120-108, 117-111, 116-114
All in favour of me.


Punch Stats for the fight

Me: 636/670 for 80%
Computer: 326/1315 for 24%

Did I mention I was playing on the hard? (3 difficulties: easy, normal, hard) In comparison, in real life, the record for punches landed is 555 and anything over a 60% connect rate is incredible. Although it was a close fight, I have also used a featherweight (126lbs) to beat a heavyweight (190lbs+). Realistic game eh?


- Gatti/Ward I. Watch round 9. You’d swear you were watching a video game or a Rocky movie. No surprise it was fight of year according Ring magazine. Emanuel Steward called it the round of the century. What an amazing fight.


- Laugh tracks really really bother me now. Nothing is unfunnier than laugh track laughter when the joke doesn’t work. However, some shows do make good use of laugh tracks (ie. Red Dwarf)


- Power Rangers managed to churn out 418 episodes. It’s pretty damn impressive for a kid’s show and more impressive considering the fickle nature of young uns.


- The game over screen for Final Fantasy 6 scares the crap out of me. I’m not sure why. Probably because they look so helpless


- Ronnie Coleman. Either a) he’s on roids, HGH, whatever or b) one of his parents fucked a gorilla


- At my government job in Penticton, I admit to taking some extra stationery from the supply room. I’m strangely fascinated with gel pens that don’t leak onto the other side of the page.


- As a kid I wanted to beat the out crap out of the following fictional characters

1) The kids that harassed Dumbo, which forced Dumbo’s mom to open a can of whoop-ass.However, Dumbo’s mom ended up getting locked up because of this outburst, leaving poor Dumbo without a mom. Fucking kids

2) Elmo. Stupid Elmo was really annoying poor ol’ Bert.


- In grade 6, we regularly mocked the Christian school soccer team during recess and lunch because we thought they sucked badly (their school was right beside our school). Eventually our two schools played each other. My school’s soccer team was really big so we had an A, B, and C team. Yes, the letter was indicative of the skill of the team. Me and the rest of the A team played first and we jumped out to an early lead (2-0) before switching off. The B and C teams then screwed badly up costing us the victory. I suppose this was God’s way of punishing us.
