« Previous EntriesHalf Life 2
Thursday, June 30th, 2005 at 4:42 pmWhile trying to find someplace selling Half Life 2 below $53, I stumbled upon a sale at Best Buy. They have it for $39, but I am not sure if it is only an online deal until Friday or available in the store for that amount.

On Grills and Killers
Wednesday, June 29th, 2005 at 7:27 pmI just returned from a conference in Boston. Some interesting things I learned while walking to the Boston Beer Garden were (a) the Yankees are Chokers and (b) R. Kelly slept with Derek Jeter’s wife. This is what a lot of t-shirts had on them that were for sale outside of Fenway Park. […]
Laugh of the Day …
Wednesday, June 29th, 2005 at 12:57 pmI just stumbled across one of the best (and definitely the most entertaining) threads I have read in some time. For those easily offended by male behavior, you better not take a look. Otherwise, click here for a laugh for two.

Back to Gaming
Monday, June 27th, 2005 at 9:42 pmI downloaded Baseball Mogul 2006 yesterday, and I’m eager to see if I can lead my Indians to their first World Championship since 1948. I actually did this once in 10 years under Baseball Mogul 2004, so I’m hopeful I can repeat my success.
Also, I picked up Ghost Recon Island Thunder (again) from EB […]
Will a Ferry Sink the Cavs (again)?
Monday, June 27th, 2005 at 9:37 pmOh joy… ESPN is reporting that the Cavs have inked Danny Ferry as the new GM. Cavs fans will recall how Danny Ferry already destoryed the franchise once, although it wasn’t his fault. It’s the one blight on Wayne Embry’s career - trading Ron Harper (plus draft picks!) to the Clippers for […]
No Apologies
Friday, June 24th, 2005 at 9:51 pmI have nothing better to write about right now, so how about my current iPod favorite play list (as if I am a celebrity).
Pump It - Black Eyed Peas
Because I have to have some good Hip-Hop funk, and any thing on Monkey Business is a great place to start.
Almost - Bowling for Soup
I like their […]
That’s What I Am Talking About
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005 at 9:55 pmTexas just managed to pull off a hell of a comeback, beating Baylor 4 - 3 a few mins ago with a walk-off homer in the 9th, thus advancing to the championship series this weekend.
Texas has look awsome so far in the 2005 edition of the College World Series, beating Baylor 5 - 1, Tulane […]
Nice Deal
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005 at 7:18 pmOne of the casualties of my move to Texas was my Kenmore Elite gas grill. Now that I am in the land of BEEF, I somehow feel inadequate that I can’t fire up a grill every weekend. With the July 4th weekend coming up, this is a great time to see all of […]
OK, Finally Redux!
Tuesday, June 21st, 2005 at 5:35 pmSeems as if our European friends are trying their best to test our friendly resolve. First the continuous sad saga of SI Games and their various North American releases. Now F1 gives the US the good old shaft. I purchased my last set of Michelin tires a few months ago.
But not all […]
Ferrari Ever the Villain
Tuesday, June 21st, 2005 at 2:00 pmI have not even gotten started writing about my frustrations with last weekend’s US Grand Prix debacle at Indy, but I will start building up steam. Here is a beauty of a quote
“Jacques Villeneuve, meanwhile, blamed Ferrari for their failure to agree to the introduction of a chicane: “We could have raced with a […]
USA Wins Big - 24 Hours of Le Mans Heroes
Sunday, June 19th, 2005 at 1:58 pmFor the first time in 30+ years a US based team has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans! The US owned Audi R8 Champion Racing team was first to take the checkered flag in what should be considered a wonderful achievement for the US. Corvette Racing (the Corvette C6-R looks awesome) also […]
Drama at Indy - F1’s Darkest Day?
Sunday, June 19th, 2005 at 1:43 pmThis is unfreaking believable. I have been watching F1 since 1995, and this is possibly the darkest day I have seen in F1. I am certainly not trying to overshadow the deaths of brave racers and unfortunate spectators that have gone before their time; as I said, this is my darkest day in […]
I Cannot Help Myself (Football Annuals)
Sunday, June 19th, 2005 at 9:26 amEvery year I say that I am going to cut back on my purchases of the various college and NFL preview annuals that assault the bookstores each June. Once again I have failed.
All the new shiny books were on display last night, and of course I had to get Phil Steele’s 2005 College Football […]
I’m Not Making This Up…
Saturday, June 18th, 2005 at 6:31 pmThe digital download for NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2005 is….not up. It seems that the link and file were put up by mistake. That’s right, the SI Games gremlins put up the wrong file according to the forums.
Yet again a wonderful SI Games production. I’ve removed the link from the previous post.

Finally!
Saturday, June 18th, 2005 at 10:26 amAlthough you’ll see nothing mentioned about it on the SI Games main site (as of this writing), the NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2005 digital download is available. It is “try before you buy” software that will let you go six months into the game. I’ll be installing the 132 MB file today, but […]
