I bet I have the best jumpshot of anyone on this board. 8-)

But anyways, does anyone know how to capture a video still from an internet video?

Hey guys, I'm in the process of deciding on signing up for a membership @ either Planet Fitness or Peak Fitness. Any of the 2 places better/worse than the other?

I bought a PS3.

I got SFIV, and can't beat it. I got to the end boss with Guile and he beat me up a lot.

I tried Ryu, and couldn't get past Zangief or E.Honda (?!).

I bought NBA2K9 since I wanted a basketball game, and can't win in that either.

I am old.

(1) IT'S NOT COMPUTER GAMES, NERD.
(2) Apparently not since I can't win.
(3) Give me cheats.

1. Only a REAL nerd would know the difference!!
2. N.I.T then? (nerd in training)
3. Good sliders make all the difference in NBA2K9

Dex, I live in Charlotte otherwise I'd have responded.

Flash, I've never been to Planet Fitness. I do like the two Peaks near my house out in University.

Ham if your having problems with the last boss in SFIV don't feel bad. It's because he's a bitch and so is Zangief. For the Boss try to stay crouched just out of his reach so that when he starts moving in you can sweep him. With Zangief try not to let him grab you.

I beat him today. I awoke the inner kid inside of me. And I didn't get a goddamn thing for it. No new colors, no new characters, just some rat trophy which I can't even find.

When Zangief grabs you its all over.

Dex, let's be friends. I've just been playing hoops at my house lately, but we can figure something out. I get together a lot of my friends and we play pickup hoops a lot. I don't have a dog though, Millbrook exchange is probably a good place for that though.

I haven't seen Last House, but I did look for it on demand after you mentioned it. If I see it on sometime I'll give it a view. I'm glad to read that you liked Wolverine. He was my favorite superhero for a long time, so I'll have to see it eventually.

I hadn't seen that Leprechaun video in a while and I almost fell out of my chair when he took out his "Magical Flute,"

Greatest of all time:

If I'm ever having a bad day, I watch this and things don't seem so bad. Favorite moments include the apple guy, and the way the guy at the end is swinging his nun-chucks as he goes down.

I have kind of a people-falling-down fetish, this is good stuff.

This is old, but still classic

hahaha, the Karate Casting video is great. The guy with the nunchaku is a legend. I didn't get that into the Bill Burr video, but it was funny enough that I clicked a couple of his other ones... that guy is a riot! His video on the Malice at the Palace... I pretty much agree with that! :D I'm gonna go watch some more.

Speaking of guys with nunchaku and violence, has anyone seen Deadliest Warrior on Spike?
