« Previous EntriesEaster PSP Impressions
Sunday, March 27th, 2005 at 12:02 pmFirst, happy Easter! Nice and rainy here in Georgia, but still a wonderful day.
I got to put in a decent amount of time yesterday and this morning with my PSP. If you have a GBA:SP (or a GBA) you know how great the graphics and screen look when in direct sunlight. Not […]
PSP Initial Impressions
Saturday, March 26th, 2005 at 1:19 pmThursday night I managed about an hour and a half of playing time before my PSP’s battery gave up the ghost. I suppose that out of the box, the battery has not been initial charged, so no real reasons for concern. Yet.
First impressions? The screen looks fantastic, and overall I would have […]
PSP?
Saturday, March 26th, 2005 at 10:01 amThe great thing about this little blog is that Jonathan and I bring different viewpoints about the wonderful world of computer gaming. We agree on many things, but I have little to no interest in console gaming. And if it is possible, even less interest in portable gaming devices. So I’ll leave […]
PSP Arrives
Thursday, March 24th, 2005 at 3:45 pmMy wife tells me that my PSP arrived safely from EBGames.com via UPS Next Day service today at 1:30PM. Of course I am at work (with 2+ hours to go before I can get away), and still have soccer practice, along with the “getting the kids ready for bed ritual” before I can even […]
PSP Preorder Saga Continues
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005 at 12:31 pmWho knew it would be so damn difficult to know for certain if I am going to get a PSP on launch day? I previously posted some portions of the more interesting emails from EBGames.com that were not 100% clear if I would get a PSP upon release. How hard can it be […]
Video Games and Violence - Here We Go Again
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005 at 2:00 amCheese and crackers, can violent video games not get a break? Why have a video games rating system if we are not going to enforce it by preventing minors from purchasing (and renting) ‘M’ (Mature) rated games?
So now we have this crap on David Coursey’s Weblog by an attorney that wants to stop MicroSoft […]
PSP Review Barrage Continues
Monday, March 21st, 2005 at 6:06 pmAs expected, the PSP reviews are stating to roll in at various gaming and non-gaming sites. I figured it would be fun to see what some of the non-gaming sites have to say about this new gaming wonderment. Continuing on the previous theme (see “PSP Review - Gaming = Good; Multimedia = Bad” […]
PSP Review - Gaming = Good; Multimedia = Bad
Monday, March 21st, 2005 at 12:33 pmWashingtonpost.com has an interesting PSP review. You may have to register with the site to see the review:
“If you get a PSP, do yourself a favor and stick to the games. If you also want to listen to music and view your pictures, just get an iPod Photo or another music-plus-photos player. What if […]
F1 2005 (Malaysian GP)
Sunday, March 20th, 2005 at 4:29 pmFor the first time in recent memory I did not watch an F1 race live and instead opted for the replay. I guess I am getting too old for this stuff; for back in the day, I would have stayed the course and watched the race in its entirety, or just set the alarm […]
Sebring, GT4, and PSPs
Sunday, March 20th, 2005 at 8:05 amI suppose many sports fans spent yesterday engrossed in March Madness, but I spent my TV time engrossed in the 12 hour Sebring race on SPEED. It seems like each year I get more and more involved (dare I say engrossed) with endurance GT racing - very interesting racing, with tons of high quality […]
Checking In
Thursday, March 17th, 2005 at 10:35 pmBaseball games have come and gone this season, but the only significant news is that there will be a new patch issued for Out of the Park Baseball in a couple of days. I hope. Since this patch was promised as a “Christmas present” in 2004, many have speculated that Markus actually […]
Virtual Trump
Saturday, March 12th, 2005 at 5:25 pmOne reader pointed out to me that Angela Basset is a good guy on the currrent season of Alias. Have we not learned? Ms. Basset will be outed as some sort of evil spy working for some sort of evil group at some point this season or next. You can count on […]
The Fine Print
Tuesday, March 8th, 2005 at 7:45 pmYesterday I was exuberant about my PSP preorder from EBgames.com (see Virtual Sex below). Today I read the fine print:
You may cancel your order at any time up until ten days prior to the PSP launch, which is March 24, 2005. To expedite processing, your credit card will be charged ten days before the […]
Virtual Sex
Monday, March 7th, 2005 at 10:15 pmWell, not really, but it makes for a nice headline. As I just told my wife, I guess this is what virtual sex feels like. She was starting to get pissed until I told her that EBgames.com just confirmed my PSP preorder. Pretty sad state of affairs when EBgames.com makes me happy […]
The Hunter
Sunday, March 6th, 2005 at 7:28 pmAm I crazy?
Was watching Justice League (yes, the cartoon) via Tivo (yes, I tivo’d it) and another piece of the conspiracy puzzle rested in place. Guess who is in charge of the grand government run conspiracy against the Justice league? A white male? No. An Hispanic women? Nope. Who […]
