I don't why the guy's nick name isn't "The Pulverizer". IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

I feel like wardrox had his heart broken by an ex-lover, and that is why he speaks of CoD4 the way he does.

Look, man: we know you love it. It's okay, it isn't going to trample over you like she did; release your inhibitions and tell IW's greatest creation how you truly feel.

Oops. Please excuse my presumption, I meant to say "it isn't going to trample over you like he or [/i]she[/i] did."

Do we have to play well? I'll enter if all we have to do is play Call of Duty 4. I can do that much.

I'm skeptical that anyone actually wins things in these weekend contests. Can anyone here say otherwise?

Sweet, Jens Pulver! I've heard before that Jens is really, REALLY into WoW but didn't know he liked CoD4. Of course, since I live in the Quad Cities I see Jens and many others at the mall or Wal-Mart pretty often, but still, pretty cool!

And yes, I'm bragging. There has to be some upside to living along the Iowa/Illinois border, don't take that away from me now.

this is too funny...jens pulver on destructoid. give it up for the man, he was a pretty good coach on the UFC and from a coaching perspective handed BJ his ass-and this coming from a bigtime bj penn fan. loadout the m16, jens, its the best gun in the game. good luck!

I've met Jens Pulver at a local MMA event in my hometown. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He really is a stud. Read up on his life story too, its pretty amazing what he went through growing up. Don't forget to check him out in WEC on June 1st when he takes on Urijah Faber for the featherweight belt. Put him in a body bag!!

Little Evil Fanboy? Yes... Yes I am. So what?

Seriously, I never understood the reasoning behind giving away a 360 as a prize if you need to own one to win.
