Top 10 Worst Types of Football Fans
Football fans can be an odd bunch. They can be your favorite people in the world or they can be people you can get into actual blows with, depending on which team they like, and how they like them. There are fans of teams you don’t like but nonetheless respect because you can talk football with them objectively, and then there are other morons who feel the need to shove their team down your face even if they didn’t make the playoffs, and will talk about how good their team will be next year. There’s also the fickle football fans who don’t really like football but pretend to because it’s America’s new past time. It’s time to take down the wrong football fans with this 80 yard completion of an article.

Top 10 Quarterbacks of All Time
Old-Wizard is at it again, changing it’s direction as quickly as it changes which retro video game we want to play at night. This list will highlight the premiere quarterbacks of all time. These next QB’s changed the game and had stats to back it up. Beyond the stats though, championships are a vital part of this list. We all know about Marino. Just one championship would have probably upped his place by 5 numbers. As Ron Harper of the 90’s Chicago Bulls said “It don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got the ring”. Ron Harper was not just talking about his best record Chicago Bulls either, he was talking about anyone wanting to immortalize themselves in their respective sports lore. The QB’s who changed the game with the best stats and most championships were considered here. Here then is OW’s top 10 QB’s of all time.

Top 10 Two Player Games
Why play a 1 player game when you can play a 2 player game? Unfortunately, most of the best 2 player games are battle modes. Still, there is much fun to be had by beating up on a friend in a game when you’re not allowed to physically beat them up anymore in this day and age. This is not to say that there weren’t some amazing 2 player co-op games, but for better or worse, these games don’t strongly stand out when thinking about the best 2 player games. The ones that did stand out are certainly on this list for that reason. The main thrust of this article will be engaging the best battle mode 2 player games where controllers are smashed and friends TV’s are broken. These are the games that you devote your life to in order to beat your friend and claim your rightful place as the grand master of video game skill.

Ten Ways to Tell You’re Bohemian
God help you if you’re on this list and you’re officially nominated as Bohemian. It’s time to take a hard look at yourself in the mirror and to change your ways. You’re probably young, incredibly immature, and come from a lot of money that you pretend not to have. “Slumming it” in some city where you go to college, you are everyone everywhere at all times in your own mind…you are nothing. Without expatiating any further than what was just said, just do whatever you can to avoid these next obstacles in your life that could forever make you into a complete idiot.

Top 10 Worst Things People Say
You come across people all the time. Most of the time it’s never a good thing. There are various reasons why this is the case, but one of the most prominent reasons is what comes out of peoples’ mouths. Those irritating platitudes that make you think to yourself “It’s not that I don’t like the world, I just really dislike it’s people”. In this list, we will go through these modern aphorisms that people think they can just say without any sense of self-consciousness or feeling like a complete idiot for saying them. These soft aphorisms need to be put in the grave and here at OW, we feel this has always been our mission; putting crappy things in their place.

Top 30 Wrestlers of All Time
Who are the greatest wrestlers of all time in WWF history? A just as important question is why does Old-Wizard even care? What, has Old-Wizard become Old-Wrestler now? Our love for Retro extends past video games, it even extends to wrestling! In this list, we will place who we think are the top 10 wrestlers of all time. This isn’t just some arbitrary list. This is a list created with passion for the pseudo-sport of professional staged-wrestling. We spent the past weeks getting ripped watching old Royal Rumbles and Summer Slams arguing who was more perfect, Mr. Perfect himself, or the Undertaker? We compared stats as if the stats actually meant something; like how long a Royal Rumble participant lasted, and how many times The Intercontinental Belt was won by a certain wrestler. Finally we came down to a list that was partially based on stats and partially based on fame. Here then is Old-Wrestler’s (sorry, I meant Old-Wizard’s) top 30 wrestlers of all time.

New Super Mario Brothers Wii Review
It’s been a busy year for OW. As many of our fans know we are very important people in the gaming industry. We know all the movers and all the shakers and when OW speaks the gaming industry listens. Not too many years ago we had to pull our support of Sega over an incident at E3. The details don’t really matter but we tried to pick up the check, a fight broke out, some small Japanese men got beat up, and we decided that Sega was a terrible company. Since then Sega has been in a steady downward spiral. Also, not to brag or anything, but it’s well known that we here at OW came up with the idea of Sonic the Hedgehog as a joke and a struggling game developer stole the idea for lack of anything better. Oh and one time we were at a strip club with the owners of Sony and Nintendo and gave them the ideas for the Playstation and the Wii simultaneously, but I’ll have to save that story for another day (it gets a bit raunchy, and as our fans know this is a family website). Needless to say, since then our consulting fees have skyrocketed. -
Top 5 Super Mario Brothers Games
As everyone knows, Mario is Nintendo’s flagship franchise. This was the first game we at OW remember playing, and we were instantly addicted. Thus, for those who love to hate OW you can blame Mario because he is the reason we became the Sega hating, sarcastic, awesome, funny, handsome, great, …. anyway I digress. Though I can go on and on about how awesome this website is, we even made it to number one on this list we wrote about the best nerd websites. We didn’t ask for that recognition but it was welcome none-the-less. Anyway, back to Mario. The Mario Brothers franchise is constantly changing, unlike some franchises, which just have you running around in circles over and over again. I won’t say which game I’m referring to but it involves robots and animals, its basically a copy of Mario and it is very boring, not worth mentioning really. Mario on the other hand came out with something new and different each time, and each the game was a complete hit. I almost cried when I got Super Mario 3 for my birthday, that bright yellow package with Mario flying out of the package in his raccoon suit. Then there was Super Mario World which, at the time was even more awesome than Super Mario 3. This franchise is easily the most recognized face in the video game industry, and here are the top 5 Mario games. -
