Chili do you own All Pro 2K8 for the PS3? If so let me know. We'll get a game going one night.

Not sure how well that would go today though. Maybe Catherine Bach naked back in the 70's vs Jessica Simpson naked today. And I dont think watching would be enough to determine a winner. I dont know I might be greedy. ;D

So a close cousin to the Dirty Sanchez huh?

Its always a sad story when someone looses a life. The guy sounds like he was normally a good guy. SANTA CLARA, CA – Aziz Howard Raqmond James, a 24-year-old Santa Cruz rapper who grew up in Watsonville and Aptos, was considered a rising star in the Bay Area hip-hop community. But James – known to audiences as Almighty Aziz – became suddenly violent at a party last weekend, according to relatives and friends. He stabbed two friends and a police dog, then was fatally shot by Santa Clara police officers. It should have ended differently, those close to him said Tuesday, after authorities officially released his identity. Relatives and colleagues question whether police did everything they could to defuse the situation before using deadly force. They sent two K9's in to subdue a knife weilding man who just stabbed two friends and he stabbed one of the K9's. How do you reason with someone, who at the point in time, doesnt understand reason? Police and friends say James stabbed a police dog multiple times after stabbing a friend at the party. He had jumped through a glass plate window, run to a nearby house, jumped through another window and stabbed another friend who was reportedly trying to calm him down. Aziz had no known criminal record in California, and his brother said he has no known history of mental illness. It’s unclear if he had taken drugs, on purpose or accident, but friends say he wasn’t know for abusing substances. Several said they wondered whether someone slipped him something in a drink or into a marijuana joint. “Aziz was trippin’,†said longtime friend and fellow rapper, Eric Munoz, 24, of Watsonville, who goes by the name Ghambit. “I was like, ‘Dog, what’s happening bro? What’s wrong?’ And we tried to warn the cops: Don’t send in the dogs. But that’s what they did. It just got out of control.†James’ brother, Howard James III, said he can’t believe his younger brother and sidekick is gone. “We went everywhere together,†the Santa Cruz drug and alcohol counselor said Tuesday. “My parents are devastated. He was their baby. I just don’t think police did everything they could have. Why didn’t they even try to talk to him, at least over a phone? He wanted their help.†Friends and family says they will lodge a formal protest and complaint against Santa Clara police for their handling of the situation. Police won’t say much about the deadly pre-dawn scene, which marked the first officer-involved fatal shooting in Santa Clara since 2005. Officers Scott Fitzgerald, a 16-year veteran of the force, and Troy Johnsen, an 8-year veteran, were placed on routine administrative leave after the shooting. As is standard, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office is investigating. “It would be inappropriate to discuss the tactics used, since this is still being investigated,†Lt. Mike Sellers said. “But you need to look at the totality of the situation. He may be a nice guy, but my concern is what the officers were faced with.†The news of James’ death shook the local music scene. “It’s a huge loss for Santa Cruz,†said Thomas Cussins, assistant talent buyer for the Catalyst nightclub in Santa Cruz. He hired James to perform or host numerous events, including the Santa Clara show James attended before the fatal incident. “Everyone is talking about it,†Cussins said. “His versatility and charisma will be sorely missed.†Eddy Dees, house manager for the Catalyst, said James’ death was “beyond shocking†because he was “very respectful.†“We never had a problem at any of his shows,†Dees said. “I’m completely baffled. It’s totally not his M.O. to lose control like this.†Cussins said James, a graphic artist, stood out among local performers because he experimented with diverse musical styles like electronic, rock and spoken word. On Friday, James served as the host for a gig at Avalon Night Club in Santa Clara but did not perform, said Cussins. Afterward, James and friends were partying with about a dozen people at a house on Crystal Drive. Around 3 a.m. Saturday, James called his older brother. “He was jokin’ around, he seemed to be fine then,†the brother said. But friends say he began acting paranoid and then, Munoz said, he went berserk. James allegedly stabbed a friend and jumped through a window, running out of the party. Munoz said people were drinking beer at the party, and perhaps smoking a little pot. But he never knew James to take hard drugs – in fact he preached against hard drugs. James ran two houses down and entered the residence by breaking a window, police said. He allegedly stabbed another friend who came to calm him down. Cussins, who was present during the incident, identified the stabbing victims as business associates in their early 20s, and said both have been released from the hospital. When Howard James arrived at the scene about 5 a.m. – his brother had called him at 3:52 a.m. saying there were “people out to kill him†– he tried asking police to go inside and talk his brother down. He stabbed two FRIENDS and jumped through two windows. Time for talking was over. The answer, he said, was no. Finally, at 6 a.m., Howard James said he saw two police dogs go inside the home. “I heard them breaking down the door,†he said. “I heard dogs barking. Then I hear the gunshots. Six fast ones, then two more. Like firecrackers.†“I knew he was dead,†his brother said. What he was was no longer a threat. Funeral arrangements are pending.

I havent gotten around to looking that up yet. Is it pretty good?

If any of you are Star Wars fans, theres a pretty cool Star Wars theme on there with sound.

I found it. Its in the Theme Settings and you have the option to install a new theme. But for some reason its telling me no themes exist on my thumbdrive. It recognizes the thumbdrive though. I must have saved the themes wrong. I'm going to try it again. I ended up just going through the web browser on my PS3. They downloaded just fine.

I'll try that. Thanks.

Alright, I downloaded a couple themes from this site to my thumbdrive but cant get them to come up on my PS3. What do I need to do?

I think the guy getting ready to board is one of ours. The guy in the rear doesnt appear to be wearing fatigues though, but I cant see his head well enough to see if he has a black bag on it or not.

I'm not having any problems with it using IE. If others have the problem I'll do that. Its a long list.

See now I was going to go with Elisha Cuthbert. But then I remembered when I first saw Fast TImes at Ridgemont High and I saw Phoebe Cates get out of the pool. She was gorgeous. No doubt many guys were following Judge Rheinholds lead.

With the draft just a few short weeks away. I found this little sports parody to share with you. http://www.cracked.com/article_15197_criminal-athlete-fantasy-draft-guide.html I forgot all about Mark Chmura until I read this.

From Cracked.com. One of my new favorite sites. The comment made for #2 is probably my favorite in this list. Enjoy......http://www.cracked.com/article_15830_15-most-sexually-unappealing-porn-titles.html

God speed Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor.

Thats intense. Great picture. One question though.............. Why isnt the guy taking the picture, on the roof for the extract? If I were the pilot I think I'd want him to be on the roof, ready to go, so I didnt have to hover for to long in enemy territory? On one hand I'd be like, "Oh hell yeah, you got to get a picture of me doing this", but on the other hand I'd be like, "I'm flying an RPG magnet here so lets not waste any time". Either way......................thats some amazing flying. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

I enjoy having the different game types to play with. It breaks up the monotony. Which Socom:CA was sadly full of. While I agree that realistic games are the more preferred games, they are, at the end of the day, just games and I whole heartedly agree with HogWild when he said (in another thread): Realistically we wouldn't be able do 75% of the things we can do in COD4 or 90% of the things we do in Socom. And, realistically, we would never run and gun through an enemy location. I do enjoy having fun on my video games though. Realistic or not. The camaraderie is second to none. When you play with the RIGHT people.

I just read this, well written article by Stephen King, in my Entertainment Weekly and thought it would bring a good discussion to the forums. We touched a few threads ago, as this article does, on the responsibilities we as parents and as contributing members of society have to guide the younger generations. EW April 05, 2008 By Stephen King Stephen King I'm no fan of videogames; pretty much gave them up in the late '70s or early '80s, when my kids used to beat me regularly at Pitfall! (hell, they used to beat me at Pong, and back then our youngest wasn't yet eligible for T-ball, let alone Little League). Sure, I've occasionally plugged quarters into one of the machines in the lobby of my local cineplex and shot at some bad guys, but I always miss the high-value targets and can never remember how to reload. As for amassing enough points to get bonus time? Forget about it. If I arrive early for the show, I'm much more apt to stick my money in the nonviolent machine that's full of stuffed toys. You probably know the one I'm talking about; you get 30 seconds to maneuver the claw, then drop it. I won a stuffed dog on one occasion doing that. Another time I won a rubber frog. When you squeezed it, the frog made a ribbit-ribbit sound and stuck out its tongue, which I enjoyed (your uncle Stevie is easily amused, he admits). So, nope — videogames are not my thing. Nor am I some kind of raving political nutcase. But when I heard about HB 1423, which happens to be a bill pending in the Massachusetts state legislature, I still hit the roof. HB 1423 would restrict or outright ban the sale of violent videogames to anyone under the age of 18. Which means, by the way, that a 17-year-old who can get in to see Hostel: Part II would be forbidden by law from buying (or renting, one supposes) the violent but less graphic Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. According to the proposed bill, violent videogames are pornographic and have no redeeming social merit. The vid-critics claim they exist for one reason and one reason only, so kids can experience the vicarious thrill of killing. Now, what does and doesn't have social merit is always an interesting question, one I can discuss for hours. But what makes me crazy is when politicians take it upon themselves to play surrogate parents. The results of that are usually disastrous. Not to mention undemocratic. One of HB 1423's cosponsors is Rep. Christine E. Canavan, of Brockton. ''I think this legislation is a good idea,'' she told the Boston Herald. ''I don't want this constant barrage of violence on young minds and for them to think it is all right.'' It's a good point...except that it seems to me that the games only reflect a violence that already exists in the society. Nor will I argue for the artistic value of stuff like God of War, or 50 Cent: Bulletproof, where looting the victims of gang violence is part of the game (players use the money to buy new Fiddy tunes and music videos — classy). I do, however, want to point out that videogames, like movies, have a ratings system, and ones with the big M or A on the box mean ''Not for you, baby brother.'' And if there's violence to be had, the kids are gonna find a way to get it, just as they'll find a way to get all-day shooters like No Country for Old Men from cable if they want. Or Girls Gone Wild, for that matter. Can parents block that stuff? You bet. But most never do. The most effective bar against what was called ''the seduction of the innocent'' when this hot-button issue centered on violent comic books 60 years ago is still parents who know and care not just about what their kids are watching and reading, but what they're doing and who they're hanging with. Parents need to have the guts to forbid material they find objectionable...and then explain why it's being forbidden. They also need to monitor their children's lives in the pop culture — which means a lot more than seeing what games they're renting down the street. If HB 1423 becomes law, will it remain law? Doubtful. Similar legislation has been declared unconstitutional in several states. Could Massachusetts legislators find better ways to watch out for the kiddies? Man, I sure hope so, because there's a lot more to America's culture of violence than Resident Evil 4. What really makes me insane is how eager politicians are to use the pop culture — not just videogames but TV, movies, even Harry Potter — as a whipping boy. It's easy for them, even sort of fun, because the pop-cult always hollers nice and loud. Also, it allows legislators to ignore the elephants in the living room. Elephant One is the ever-deepening divide between the haves and have-nots in this country, a situation guys like Fiddy and Snoop have been indirectly rapping about for years. Elephant Two is America's almost pathological love of guns. It was too easy for critics to claim — falsely, it turned out — that Cho Seung-Hui (the Virginia Tech killer) was a fan of Counter-Strike; I just wish to God that legislators were as eager to point out that this nutball had no problem obtaining a 9mm semiautomatic handgun. Cho used it in a rampage that resulted in the murder of 32 people. If he'd been stuck with nothing but a plastic videogame gun, he wouldn't even have been able to kill himself. Case closed.
