I'm more amazed at Rikishi's ability to magically make opponents sit in the corner. What about people always deciding to drape themselves between the ropes in matches against Rey Rey?

I don't understand what the objective is here. To come up with an outfit more outlandish than the performer's? You'd probably get thrown out.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Right now, this is what my hypothetical short list of titles to acquire initially looks like: Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver - I have been a pokemon fan since approximately sixth grade. I make no apologies for totally marking out about your lead 'mon following you around, etc. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin - I played the GBA Advance Wars series and got a kick out of them, haven't heard anything bad about DoR besides people objecting to the SRS BIZNESS aesthetic change. Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes - Heard nothing but good things about this game. The tactical role-play combat aspect should be the chocolate on the puzzle game pill that I usually find hard to swollow. Final Fantasy IV DS - I'm actually not that enthused about the new 3D graphics, I would have preferred they had just done totally pimped out versions of the old 2D sprites, but it is FF4. 'Nuff said. Tecmo Bowl Kickoff - I generally have no use for serious "simulation" style sports games. The more realistic they try to be, the more I notice how unlike the real sport they are. This, however, looks like a fun video game which happens to be about football, which I find much more appealing. Metal Slug 7 - What can I say, I just love Metal Slug. Kinda disappointing it looks like they may as well not have used the lower screen at all, though. Dragon Quest IX - I've never followed the Dragon Quest series closely, and I frankly don't like the art style and the battle system as much as some of the comparable franchises, but this seems to be getting great reviews, tons of hours of gameplay and the ability to jump into someone else's quest and do co-op sounds really cool.

So at this late hour, as it were, a confluence of factors has led me to consider acquiring a Nintendo DS for the first time. Before I spring for it, though, I need to know that there are enough games for the system I'd actually enjoy to justify it, and frankly after browsing on Amazon and Best Buy and such, I'm skeptical.
Would you fine people be so kind as to suggest games which you believe are the best in the catalog?
Just an FYI on my gaming tastes: I don't like puzzle games without some other element involved, and I'm not big on platformers, though I am open-minded towards them. I like RPGs, and the RPG titles for the DS are the primary appeal for me right now, but a lot of them are remakes of old SNES titles and such and I need to know that I would really get enough further enjoyment out of them compared to the old versions to make it worth it.

I honestly don't think it's that bad. It certainly wouldn't have jumped out at me as my gaze falls across the magazine and keeps right on moving in the checkout line. As I stare at it now, it looks a little off, sure.

I think it's supposed to be clever or ironic or something like that. Supposed to be.

Hear, hear. And I say this as a person who went to school to study politics and wants to make a career in the political arena.

How about Last Blade 1/2? There is something about thoose two Games that makes them more than just Fighting-games. If this forum had rep I would give you some right now. I totally agree. Just wish I didn't suck at those games. And all fighting games.

I can't tell whether this is supposed to be satire or just fantasizing.

Things change when Lady Gaga becomes the hot act. I can understand Lady Gaga hurting Rihanna's market among people who just want to follow/book whoever the hottest female artist of the moment is, but I honestly don't see that there's that much overlap in what they actually do to see Gaga taking her entire audience.

They're solid for a fast food burger. Don't expect anything amazing.

I used to watch the History Channel back when they actually ran shows about history. Granted, they did go overboard with the Hitler/Nazi stuff. But Ice Road Truckers is kinda cool.

For lesser-known bands, "Super Bon Bon" and "Circles" off of Soul Coughing's Irresistible Bliss and El Oso, respectively. For my money, the best song on Irresistible Bliss is "Lazybones" and the best on El Oso is "I Miss the Girl" or "Saint Louise is Listening."

You should post her number here, so all of us can call her up and make sure she's cool before anything happens between you.
We're just looking out for you, man.

It is a legit argument that anyone could make. But only one person is.

So we drop charges on the say-so of the accused now? Either that was a typo or you don't know what "defendant" means. He didn't make a typo. The defendant DID want the trial to be dropped and wanted nothing to do with this. She moved on a long time ago. Dude, the defendant in this case would be Polanski. The defendant is the person accused of a crime. The girl who was allegedly raped would be the accuser (or, in a civil proceeding, the plaintiff). So we've established that you definitely don't know what "defendant" means, don't know about the other guy. I'm guessing he made the same mistake.
