Reset/Replay
Friday, December 31st, 2004 at 11:59 amSeveral years ago I ran an almost semi-regular column called “Reset/Reply” – boy did I think that name was clever. I would review a game, and then at some later date discuss the pros and cons of that game, discuss the original review score, and if I was actually still playing the game. […]
Santa Take 2
Friday, December 31st, 2004 at 10:54 amChristmas seems like a distant memory … except for all the toys thrown all over the house, and the tree that still needs to be undecorated, and all the boxes stacked up in the corner waiting to be kindly thrown out in the trash, and … ah, forget it. There are still plenty of […]
SEC Bowling
Friday, December 31st, 2004 at 8:26 amOK, so I am waiting until the last possible minute to post SEC Bowl predictions. Actually I am just inside of 4 hours before the Tide starts Rolling, Rolling, Rolling over the Gophers in the Music City Bowl.
Music City Bowl: Alabama vs. Minnesota
No really, Alabama will win a hard fought battle against a […]
Gut Reaction
Tuesday, December 28th, 2004 at 9:03 amThis morning I found a surprising, but welcomed email from my old pal Kevin Mosley. The circle is now complete - all former CG staffers have now taken on blogs to spew their words of wisdom (and other crap) to the masses. Kevin was the last hold out, and now that his “Gut […]
iTripping (Part II)
Monday, December 27th, 2004 at 10:57 amMy traveling experiences with Griffin Technology’s iTrip was fairly successful. The product basically works as advertised. It allows you to transmit your iPod songs via your car’s FM radio.
I will caution those of you that live in areas with heavy radio traffic (lots of stations) that your results may be very mixed. […]
Comments Back On
Sunday, December 26th, 2004 at 9:30 pmI turned comments back on after doing some research of the most recent hack attack to hit Calvert Games. This time it was not personal. That was actually a relief. Some form of a nasty spambot left all sorts of casino comments - I guess the hacker of the spambot gets referral […]
Santa Take 1 (GameCube Game Boy Player)
Sunday, December 26th, 2004 at 12:00 pmI am going to try to write some Christmas gaming recaps over the next several days. I figured I would start off with the GameCube Game Boy Player that Joshua got for Christmas. I figured Joshua would enjoy playing some of his games in full screen glory, but I also kind of guessed […]
Belated Christmas Wishes
Sunday, December 26th, 2004 at 8:36 amI sincerely hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and hope that you and yours has a very blessed New Year.
Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing
…
See within a manger laid Jesus, Lord of heav’n […]
iTripping (Part I)
Friday, December 17th, 2004 at 11:55 pmEarlier this week I purchased an iPod for my family trip to Disney. My wife’s van does not have an auxiliary port or tape deck, so I figured a FM transmitter was the best way to go. After reading the various reviews of the handful of products available the iTrip seemed to be […]
Loving to Hate Gran Turismo
Wednesday, December 15th, 2004 at 4:11 pmNo, not another diatribe on the often delayed Gran Turismo 4. Not until the end anyway. Instead, of late, I have been playing Gran Turismo 3 to get me in the spirit of really wanting to play Gran Turismo 4. It is not like I have come close to finishing the game. […]
Feeling Blue, Not so much Mean and Green
Wednesday, December 15th, 2004 at 3:50 pmI know, I know, you do not have to say it. I will say this - I have no true connection to North Texas. I just happened to “adopt” them (lucky for the Eagles, no?) a few years ago because I wanted to be challenged in NCAA Football. Plus it is my […]
Valdosta State - 2004 NCAA Division II Football Champions
Sunday, December 12th, 2004 at 3:47 pmI attended Valdosta State my freshmen year of college; way back in 1989-1990. Seems like a long time ago. Way back then, the only game in town was the Valdosta High football team - they were great. And the football team? Not so much, but I still spent plenty of time […]
Hackers (Still) Suck
Saturday, December 11th, 2004 at 4:04 pmSomeone thought it was pretty funny to post tons of spam to the comments of various posts. Pretty funny.
Thankfully Necleus records the IP of each post. I suppose they could be spoofed, but hopefully my hosts’ admins can figure this out and put a stop to this disruptive crap.
For now I have disabled […]
