Gauntlet
Stilwater. Gangs control this metropolis, and now its time for the Saints to take back the streets. Here on in, its bitches, badasses, pimps, hoes, violence, sex and of course gangstas. Saints Row is the gansta version of Grand Theft Auto. Not releated to the Rockstar title in anyway (being a THQ production) it pretty much lays down the gauntlet when it comes to open story violent gameplay. Sure the concept is not original, so how does this relate to the GTA franchise of which it is impossible not to compare it to.Well, quite well to be honest. It’s about as different to GTA without being different as you can get. You are the newest member of the 3rd Street Saints. They just saved the back of your favourite head from being blown off so therefore you are a bit grateful. Start off by setting up your homie. Flames set to face divisional gauntlet CALGARY - Thanks to the quirks of the National Hockey League schedule, the Calgary Flames will up to their tonsils in Taylor Pyatt for the rest of the season. They will have Wojtek Wolski coming out the wazoo. They will have more confrontations with Brian Rolston than they can shake a Branko Radivojevic at. No fewer than 23 of Calgary's remaining 60 contests will be against the Vancouver Canucks (Pyatt), Colorado Avalanche (Wolski) and Minnesota Wild (Rolston and Radivojevic). It starts with tonight's contest in Denver against Colorado. By the time it's all over, there won't be a single thing we won't know about Lukas Krajicek, Rory Fitzpatrick, Karlis Skrastins, Antti Laaksonen, Petteri Nummelin and Mattias Weinhandl. "It's going to very tough.
Surviving the Pimp Gauntlet at The Mall "Prostitution gives her an opportunity to meet people. It provides fresh air and wholesome exercise, and it keeps her out of trouble."- Joseph Heller, from "Catch 22"
Some tribes of Native Americans used to practice a form of trial and entertainment called The Gauntlet. A prisoner unlucky enough to be tested was pushed to the entrance between two lines of glowering individuals. Brandishing stones, sticks, tomahawks - who knows, maybe skillets or, inhumanity of inhumanity, cream pies - the visitor had to stumble to the end of the gauntlet, all the while being pummeled, stabbed and whacked. So it is with my hometown Santa Enchirito regional shopping center, aka, The Mall. No. Wait. The Westfield Valencia Town Center. But before then, Roman Martinez, a member of the men's basketball team at The University of New Mexico, will have a three-game gauntlet to go through.Martinez and his Lobos will play host to his late grandfather's team, New Mexico State University, tonight in The Pit in the first of two in-state rivalry games. The other is in Las Cruces on Dec. 5.But, perhaps the biggest one is Sunday, when Martinez returns to his roots to face UTEP in El Paso.Martinez is a product of El Paso's Montwood High School."My family can't stop talking about me going back home and how big this game is," Martinez says of the UTEP game. "I've gotten a lot of phone calls from friends and family telling me they're coming to the game. My dad requested a lot of tickets. It's going to be great. |
