Lights Out suuuuuuuuucked. I wanted to like it. I tried to like it. Something about the timing, the editing, some of the actors... it just kept being unwatchable in between moments of awesomeness.

Some awesome photos in here. Not sure I understand why two of them were just magazine shots of hot girls, but I, for once, won't complain. No. 1 was badass. No. 3 makes me smile. Nos. 10 and 2 make me smile in a different way.

Are you guys going to do a Gifs of the year? (or did I already miss it?)

Lights Out was a really cool show. Sucks that it got axed after one season.

Just wanted to jump in and toss in my vote for changing the lame-ass pic-viewer dealer. Been reading the articles on this site for 3 years and never posted once. Thought this is the time that called for it.
Change the shit

So Final Destination-style for the crazy knocked out face means Jon Jones is next in line unless he's the hero that gets skipped over. Rashad > Lyoto > Jones?

Ok here's a new twist, get rid of sheena, j3t, and the other trolls, and keep the hub with the shitty viewer, no edit button, and annoying catha shit.
I'd rather put up with a bad webpage than look at another faggoty, useless post by the trolls.

I'm still jealous that someone else beat me to the name "Rear Naked Poke". And I came up with that all by myself. I was so proud of myself.

I complain about shit all the time (though it's mostly about XENO), and I completely agree with the other complaints about the pic viewer... and edit button... and Captcha.

Another vote for ditching that terrible photo viewer. My heart sinks when a gallery post appears :(

The photo viewer sucks ass. Please change it.
Everyone who agrees should post a comment and maybe they'll listen.

Also I never saw pic #10 before. Beautiful

Yeah, the way that photo viewer scrolls all shonky, and the way it flickers, loads the existing image and THEN loads the one you wanted.... just... horrible guys. Change that shit.

@CP - Yes the foto view is impossible to click on! It's a fucking whack-a-mole! Just give us a fucking "next" button that swaps the image - WITHOUT reloading the whole page. I'll write the fucking javascript myself!
.
@Pznti - I laughed out loud that shit is hilarious.

I just read a legit sounding article stating that Duane Ludwig was finally awarded fastest KO in UFC history by Dana White. The NSAC won't honor it because the clock mistakenly read :11 and they are douche-bag bureaucrats. Still, it's kinda cool news. No link - look it up yourself.

BTW, related to this giant add for Warrior that takes over the screen: just watched that movie today and that script and plot was clearly generated by a computer program.
.
Well filmed and acted, and it's the only time I've seen fights shot and choreographed properly, but shit the whole thing was by the numbers. Whatta waste.
.
Watch The Fighter or The Wrestler instead and pretend it's MMA.

Figures someone would post a gratuitous female photo as a "greatest" entry. How are these boob entries different from any other one?

Really like the pic of Hendo about to blast Fedor. Probably Fedor's last moment in his last relevant fight. Good caption under Big Nogs pic. And I think his page he lost was somewhere in the last chapter. Not impressed by the chick pics however. Don't think they belong next to defining moments in what was probably the most relevant year in MMA besides 1993.

Your CTO is a douche, tell David Subar to stop reinventing the wheel with his love of bullshit CE devices,and fix this shit - you display image methodology is not only stupid, the majority of users are left displeased and don't like it. [

Winter Soltice (Christmas) question of the year. Will one of you editors explain why there is no interested at Break Media to re-enable the edit button?
