Screw Attack: Streets of Rage


The original is a classic, but I have to say the second one is by far the best in the series. The third one is good, but the music sucks and it has some extremely cheap parts. The second one is just epic. What I want to know is, why havent they made Streets of Rage 4 for XBLA and PSN? I would buy it in a heartbeat. Please Sega! Make it happen!

Mariano Rivera - The Greatest Ever



Mario Rivera captured his 500th save on Sunday, further cementing him as the greatest relief pitcher of all time. He might not ever pass Trevor Hoffman for the overall saves lead, but I think we can all agree Rivera is on his own level when it comes to greatness. I could list some of his stats here, but there really isnt any point. What Rivera does on the mound goes way beyond statistics. Its artistry. He personally carried the Yankees to 3 consecutive World Championships, and is well worth every penny of the more than $100M the Yankees have paid him over his career.

As Tim McCarver said, Rivera is the only dominant pitcher in history to defy the basic logic of pitching: Work quickly, throw strikes, and change speeds. Rivera only has 1 pitch and it goes 94mph, spinning sideways.

We've never seen anything like him before, and when hes gone, we wont ever see anything like him again.

lol donkaments

Went pretty deep in the FTP Fifty-Fifty only to get busted by some trash talking guy on a crazy move. In No Limit Holdem, A-K is my favorite hand. I got it all in preflop, the way I like to, and it missed. Only, I wasnt coin flipping against Queens or Jacks - the guy had J-10 and I was almost a 2-1 favorite, with the money in sight. People say that your variance is a lot higher in big field tournaments, and as mostly a cash game player Id have to agree. All I can say is the same thing as Barry Greenstien: lol donkaments.
