Do you play COTG?: I do! I recently decided to dip my toe into it after so long.

  Technically, HoG shows are on iPPV.  But since no one buys them, does it -really- count?

I absolutely love this thread.

And so many of us don't have a "friend" we can post lol, even though I can say without any inhibition that I've never had anything but positive experience talking to anyone at all here, or at the company (well, Todd.. poor Todd deals with my random ordering habbits and stupid problems more often thank he should have to, but always helpful). Sometimes I look at my PlayStation and feel sorry for it. This game changer could nsumes all of my personal time

Damn near every weekend. I'll place an order on Friday. Then sometime before sunrise Saturday I'll decide to make another one, and often, o e more around Monday as I feel my finances are at. And u always end up with some issue with something that almost always ends with me telling me him "oh, oops. Sorry haha"...

For those who don't know the movie Pete is referencing, it is the classic Grunt! The Wrestling Movie. This classic features LOW stars "Exotic" Adrian Street and The Destroyer (Dick Beyer) without his mask! It also features great music, including Adrian's "Mighty Big Girl" and the great theme song performed by Sha-Na-Na. I forgot that we had watched that together at Galacticon, Pete!
