Just came back from training, wow what an awesome training it was. First I was so tired that I was dizzy, but the warming-up had just begon. So after a while I felt a little bit naseous and after that, sweet entered my left eye. It burns, but the warming-up was just halfway.

So after the sickness and dizzyness, there was a calmness. Suddenly everything in my head was clear, I did not feel pain, no sickness, was not dizzy and could not feel my arms and legs. Did I die? I did not know, but I was way past my limit. But pain has left my body and in its place was a calm and lightheaded feeling. Could not feel a thing anymore, but I was now easier to keep going and I did.

After a while the warming up was over, some stretching followed. After that we practised some techniques, and we ended it with ground fighting. And Robio ground fighting is only gay if you make eye contact. Had three attempt to triangle choke someone, but they escaped. After the groundfighting the training was over. I had no sensation left in my body, heck even typing this is harder than usual, but dammit it was worth it. You feel really alive, when you feel you are about to die.

Martial arts is awesome!

I was out of training for two weeks because an idiot charged on me (during training) pushing me headfirst into an edge in the wall which resulted in my gashing the back of my head and needing several stitches.  i went back for the first time after that on monday and had an awesome session.  rolled with seven guys (all heavier), out of those one made me tap-out, i won 5 of them in various ways (including triangle choke) and one ended a stale-mate.  they probably let me win because they felt bad about my head

Why did he charge you?

You should really try rolling after you had a warming up of hell. Much, much more difficult of you can't even feel your limbs . But still awesome, it builds character!

we were going to spar, stand-up to floor ... he thought it wise to rugby tackle me before we even got rolling.  i ended up in the wall with a bloody head.  wasn't concussed or anything though ... i drove myself to A & E.

Aaah stand-up to floor sparring, they always end with me doing a crazy flying scissor takedown or a rolling takedown. We even have a judo guy, damn once he grabs you, you are going down. And it takes him little effort to do that. 

So the guy started before you were ready, so he sucker tackled you?

In San Francisco, a Wii MotionPlus-ready build of Grand Slam Tennis was on display and fully playable. And play it I did. So what's the verdict? Well, frankly, it's incredible, which makes EA two for two now because Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 equipped with MotionPlus is spectacular, too.

I can't wait to play a lot more of the game, but even now two truths are rapidly becoming evident. First, EA Grand Slam Tennis is better than Wii Sports Tennis even without MotionPlus support. But with it, the game is in another league entirely.

Ownage, motion controls fully realised. No excuses anymore. Make the proper lightsable game a reality bitches.  

EA is on a roll, first they make all the other Golf games irrelevant, now they do it again with Tennis games. Seriously who would want to play golf with an analog stick now?

Wii Sports Tennis made other tennis games irrelevant to me as I used to play tennis. And it's just far more satisfying, intuitive, accurate and fun doing it with motion IMO. All it was waiting for was a proper championship mode and some expanded options/multiplayer online etc. Now someone is finally doing it.

BUT Virtua Tennis 09 Wii edition is using motionplus too, so I want to see how that works out before going with either one as those guys are really great.  

SteelAttack said:

Is motion plus already available?

No and there is no date for it. June 16th is when EA's motionplus games ship with or without motionplus.

When it comes out you can then just plug it in to use the feature. Bizaare but nintendo has gone quiet on its release. I think that Sports Resort must be delayed and they wanted to push it together with the peripheral.

Rejoice I think that a moderator just banned Andrew from the Ask Capcom boards. This joker sucked Cap-dick incessently and claimed that Chop Till you Drop was a masterpiece and that people who complained about Darkside Chronicles should "cut themselves"

Cap-dick? Sounds like Captain America's dick. A muscular white dick with blue veins and a red head that smells like mint.

I just ordered Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts from Amazon. It only cost me $27.99 (free shipping; no sales tax). I'm happy.  

I almost bought Oblivion GOTY Edition for the same price too, but decided that Forza 2 and Banjo Kazooie will tide me over plenty until Riddick comes out early next month.
