« Previous EntriesGTA: San Andreas
Tuesday, October 26th, 2004 at 4:40 pmGTA: San Andreas - but of course everyone with a PS2 is going to be playing this one. Well everyone that is not completely put off by the whole gangster thing, the violence, the language, and well, the whole damn experience. I have to admit that GTA is not for everyone, but so […]
Champions of Norrath (PS2)
Monday, October 25th, 2004 at 4:30 amThis may be old news, but Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest is now priced at all of $19.99, which is an absolute bargain if you are into “hack and slash” type games. I wrote about this one back in the day. It is developed by Snowblind Studios, which happens to be […]
Fantasy Football Play of the Day
Sunday, October 24th, 2004 at 8:57 pmMy Yahoo! fantasy football team has been struggling; that is being too kind. My QB situation has sucked – started the season with Jeff Garcia, and then I moved on to Kurt Warner who is having a good “real life” year, but Warner is not much of a fantasy prize in a league that […]
Now Selling (Love Me Some eBay)
Sunday, October 24th, 2004 at 7:05 pmEvery once in a while I have to PIMP my own junk on eBay. I need to fund my next round of purchases so I just threw up a few games that some readers may want to check out. After all, my eBay rating has “trust me” written all over it.
Jonathan’s list of […]
Wireless Technology is Grand
Sunday, October 24th, 2004 at 12:05 pmMy youngest son is not feeling so wonderful today, so we stayed home instead of going to church. I now find myself sitting in the driveway, laptop in hand, watching my older son enjoy his bike. The beauty of it all is that I am putting this post together, surfing the web, maintaining […]
Running Sucks
Saturday, October 23rd, 2004 at 10:40 pmTwo posts tonight and everything sucks. I guess the Dawgs have put me in a nasty mood tonight. They are physically beating the shit out of Arkansas (oh how I hate those Hogs), but they are still clueless when it comes to closing out a game. You would think Richt would figure […]
Where is the Love (or Why EBGames Now Sucks)?
Saturday, October 23rd, 2004 at 10:18 pmBack in the day I was all about GameStop, but they became increasingly frustrating as I attempted to return a game within the 14-day window, which eventually turned to 10-days, and then 2-days. Granted, I have no idea what the return policy is today, but should anyone be hassled for trying to return that […]
Thank You Namco (Katamari Damacy)
Thursday, October 21st, 2004 at 4:30 amOn a hunch I decided to pick up Katamari Damacy. I knew it would be a wacky Japanese game, but I figured I was up to the task since I am fan of other obscure goodness: Tale of the Sun, Aquanauts Holiday, and Motor Toon GrandPrix. Yes, add Katamari Damacy to the […]
FIFA 2005 (PS2) More Impressions
Tuesday, October 19th, 2004 at 12:30 amMore time with the game brings me to another frustration that I am having a hard time looking past. The CPU controlled players on offense are worthless. When I fire a shot at the goalie, and it is deflected, I do not want everyone to sit around and watch the CPU defenders eventually […]
FIFA 2005 (PS2) Impressions
Monday, October 18th, 2004 at 4:30 amAs promised, as I got off my lazy bones and decided to post some gaming impressions. I have put in a few games of FIFA 2005, and the following are a few random thoughts in no particular order.
At first glance the game is much improved over its predecessor in many areas. The gameplay […]
ToCA Race Driver 2 and IGN
Sunday, October 17th, 2004 at 6:49 pmI was debating ordering ToCA Race Driver 2 for the PS2 since I have always been a big fan of the series and Codemasters. So this afternoon I started clicking on various reviews and eventually arrived at the IGN ToCA Race Driver 2 review. After seeing several references to the Xbox, and a […]
Mean Green Is Back
Sunday, October 17th, 2004 at 12:40 pmFinally had a few minutes to make this place look a little more like home. I have been putting in lots of minor tweaks and whatnot, hopefully all for a better end-user experience.
I plan to do more housekeeping in the coming days, but all that matters today is that Mean Green is alive and […]
SEC Wrap Up - Week 8
Sunday, October 17th, 2004 at 9:07 amGranted, I did not make any predictions this week, but I can still be a Sunday Morning Quarterback. This is America, were punks like me can sit back and call for a coach’s head, despite being completely ignorant of the program. Thus, call-in radio was born. Thankfully, the golden age of Internet […]
Former Staffers Now Bloggers (Part II)
Sunday, October 17th, 2004 at 2:30 amI just realized that I have not PIMP-ed Adam’s “The Sound of Simpson” blog spot. So without further ado, here are the links to the former staffers that are currently bloggers. Highly entertaining stuff, and certainly worth reading:
* Granatofan’s Corner
* The Sound of Simpson
* Webdanzer’s Spin
The question that begs to be asked is […]
Navy (#71) 14 - Tulsa (#74) 19 (NCAA Chronicles 2005, Season 1, Week 4)
Saturday, October 16th, 2004 at 3:09 pmThis is the game that may have driven me to the breaking point with NCAA Football 2005. I have not picked up the game since because of the ridiculous QB sack issue – see a NCAA Football 2005 - QB Sacks (and Cheating AI) for more info. At this point I am […]
