[Virtual Jarmo]

1. What was the best video game made for Sega Genesis?

Road Rash

2. If you could pick any 3 movie characters to be on your side in a streetfight, who would you pick?

Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson in Taken), obviously Jason Bourne, and Edward Norton/Tyler Durden in Fight Club, he'd confuse the hell out of our combatants

3. Who is the best comedian alive? (with serious props to George Carlin)

Gilbert Gottfried

4. What TV channels do you spend the most time watching?

Discovery, A&E, STO (Indians cable network), Food Network, and then the usual ESPNs. I wish I had TSN and The Score rather than ESPN.

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play?

Probably blackjack because I could sit there playing basic strategy at $500 a hand and come out pretty close to even when it's all said and done, if not ahead. Then I just pocket what I have left.

Let's fire this up again, I miss these.

1. What was the best video game made for Sega Genesis? Road RASH !!!

2. If you could pick any 3 movie characters to be on your side in a streetfight, who would you pick? The Terminator and the T-1000 would be enough, then i'd get Mr Bean to make me laugh

4. What TV channels do you spend the most time watching? RDS-TSN (sports channels)

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play? Roulette, all in on the black, black gets out and I double my money and bounce

[Parker]

Alright, I'll play.

1. What was the best video game made for Sega Genesis?

Do you even need to ask? NHLPA93. It tops NHL94 because they took fighting out in '94.

2. If you could pick any 3 movie characters to be on your side in a streetfight, who would you pick?

I know everyone's going to pick Superman, the Hulk, and Deadpool, so I'm gonna go with non-superpowered characters only:
-Tyler Durden
-John Matrix
-Miho (from Sin City)

3. Who is the best comedian alive? (with serious props to George Carlin)

Easy. Eddie Murphy. "Raw" and "Delirious" are still the funniest stand-ups I've ever seen.

4. What TV channels do you spend the most time watching?

Rogers Sportsnet, G4 Tech TV, various movie channels.

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play?

I'm not much of a gambler, but I'd probably go with blackjack. It worked for Rain Man and Zach Galifianakis. And Rain Man was a rehTARD.

[Bruins]

1. What was the best video game made for Sega Genesis?
MLB Baseball I think '94.

NFL Network.

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play?

2. If you could pick any 3 movie characters to be on your side in a streetfight, who would you pick?
The Terminator

That's all I'd really need.

Dave Chappelle? Jerry Seinfeld? Russell Peters? Sacha Baron Cohen? I laugh a lot, so I can't decide.

[Jungle Cats]

1. What was the best video game made for Sega Genesis?
- Ugh, Genesis. Earthworm Jim, probs.

2. If you could pick any 3 movie characters to be on your side in a streetfight, who would you pick?
- The Man With No Name, Tequila, Steve Zissou (You never say, "I'm gonna fight you, Steve." You just smile and act natural, and then you sucker-punch him.)

3. Who is the best comedian alive? (with serious props to George Carlin)
- Louis CK, which means there are truly slim pickings. I'd say Eddie Murphy, but it's clear to me he's already dead inside.

4. What TV channels do you spend the most time watching?
- Space, Comedy Network, Food Network, Sportsnet, TSN

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play?
- Can I just play one innocuous hand of blackjack and leave?

[Jungle Cats]

The Terminator

That's all I'd really need.

I thought about the terminator, but he was ultimately defeated by a club hopping waitress and a mentally unstable time traveller...

4. What TV channels do you spend the most time watching?

RDS, TSN, MTV

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play?
Texas Hold'em for sure. I once lost 800$ from doubling up my 15$ playing WAR at the casino here in Montreal.. I think I lost 7 times in a row and the odds of winning at this game are 49%. So casinos are way up my hole!

[Virtual Jarmo]

I hated T-Bag on Prison Break.

Now Mahone on the other hand, loved him from day one. He was an excellent character, even if he was after Scofield for Seasons 1 & 2.

That was such an awesome show. Too bad there was only so much that they could do with it.

[GoJetsGo]

Let's fire this up again, I miss these.

1. What was the best video game made for Sega Genesis?

Jack Bauer.. (I think there was a 24 movie.)
Maximus (Russell Crowe in Gladiator)
Predator

3. Who is the best comedian alive? (with serious props to George Carlin)

Uhhh.. Tosh/Chappelle

4. What TV channels do you spend the most time watching?

ESPNs, History, Discovery, Comedy Central

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play?

It's crazy how a show can be so good eh! I'm watching it all over again and it's as good as the first time. Happy times.
Did you like season 3? And, yeah, Mahone became my favorite in season 4.

[Tuo-SabresGM]

1. What was the best video game made for Sega Genesis?

Never had a lot of games for it, but probably Triple Play '96 and Mutant League Hockey (most hockey games are fun with 2 players).

2. If you could pick any 3 movie characters to be on your side in a streetfight, who would you pick?

Hell if I know.. Alien, Predator, and Walter from the Big Lebowski (never mess with the crazy ones).

3. Who is the best comedian alive? (with serious props to George Carlin)

Too many to name, but I'll throw Dave Chappelle in that ring.

4. What TV channels do you spend the most time watching?

Science Channel, Discovery Channel and History Channel for the most part. I don't watch a lot of TV.

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play?

Can I just play one innocuous hand of blackjack and leave?

Right here ^

[SharksGM]

Hell if I know.. Alien, Predator, and Walter from the Big Lebowski (never mess with the crazy ones).

See, I thought about this and I'd be worried about the Alien and Predator fighting each other or devouring me instead. At least I'd use the third spot for a superhero like Flash or Nightcrawler or Superman who can get me the fuck away in a hurry if things get crazy. Well, crazier, I guess.

I thought the show lost some steam with season 3. It was a good concept, it just dragged on entirely too long, and that's even with the shorter amount of episodes that it was booked for. It was a good way to force Scofield and Mahone to work together. They were both brilliantly written characters and played off each other so well in seasons 1 & 2. I think once you lost the Scofield v. Mahone thing, it would be tough. I hated the angle of Whistler in the 3rd season.

The 4th season was good, not great. The first two seasons of the show were impossible to top.

[Penguin]

I agree about the season 3, but I found season 4 more than great!

Ps. Good pick with Earthworm Jim, Zacky.

5. Texas Hold 'Em

[DevilsGM]

Ultimate Carnage played this a bit when i was a kid you could be venom or carnage..and who doesn't like being your favourite bad guys somtimes

2. If you could pick any 3 movie characters to be on your side in a streetfight, who would you pick?
1.Gotta steal Jason bourne from Adam

5. You walk in to a casino with $10,000 under the stipulation that you can play only one game. What do you play?
Probably Blackjack cuz it is a bit simpler and I'm not a huge gambler but I might go Texas hold'em on it just cause.
