umbrella academy makes me think of the umbrella corporation, which is a great segway into me talking about how awesome resident evil 5 looks.

The new Madden is going to have a team of nothing but Resident Evil zombies, and then Leon is going to be the QB. Pretty neat unlockable.

miniblindbandit (July 24, 2008)

that does sound pretty sweet...especially if the gang tackles involve decapitation.

T-Rock (July 24, 2008)

Totally made the whole thing up.

i only found this site like 2 weeks ago. i used to frequent absolutepunk but i was too hardcore for them so i came to this site , everyone seems to dig gaslight anthem and heath ledger so good enough ffor me. are you an admin? or jsut some old cocksucker with no life?

How the fuck would you know that?

penis (July 24, 2008)

my other screen name is Dante3000, which i only use when i feel like being a cocksucking loser

I think you meant Dante3OOO there also

penis (July 24, 2008)

go do some more bunny hops and calm down

BMXpunk (July 24, 2008)

ooops, someone thought they were slick.

baldsteve (July 24, 2008)

I don't believe you or any of your other screen names have the ability to "rip on anybody pretty hard".

The only thing you've got in your purse are the words 'faggot' and 'cocksucker'.

Is Gerard attending the San Diego Comicon this weekend?
The one place where the majority of the people are over 21 and still virgins, and the mean average weight is 250 lbs, and dudes get off to mouthing "whoosh" sounds, imitating light sabers!

are you trying to take FattRamone's crown for biggest wanker on this site?

LORDSHREDDER (July 24, 2008)

Nope, Matt and Dante are usually the others with intelligent things to say. Are you seriously defending Comicon and Gerard? If you are that nerded out, it makes you a giant wanker. Go watch some Star Trek and rock out to MCR.
