Sunday, July 31st, 2005 at 10:15 amOh yea, PC gaming is dead. Geoff suggested that I check out the Battlefield 2 demo last night and 546 MBs later, I am hooked. Yet another drain on my precious time. I will post more about BF2 after I’ve mastered it a bit. It’s a hardware hog, so good thing […]
Super Dad
Friday, July 29th, 2005 at 11:26 pmYouth sports can be wonderful teachers for our children. There are many “life lessons” that can be taught through this vehicle, such as teamwork, how to handle success and failure, setting and achieving goals, self-worth and self-respect, sportsmanship, humility, unselfishness, and the list goes on and on. Youth sports is a wonderful teacher, […]
Another Silly Love Song
Friday, July 29th, 2005 at 9:54 pmNot really, but it is another Friday night, and another drunken blog - hey I do what I can.
First, the number one spot this week is Aspen Edge. I know beerpals.com thinks it sucks, but it works well to chase a night of Harp and Shiraz. Besides beer flavored water rules.
What about recent […]
Long Live PC Gaming!
Thursday, July 28th, 2005 at 8:39 pmI greeted this ExtremeTech article about Windows Vista and gaming the same way that the French dabbed watery eyes and blew kisses at the liberating allied forces during Word War II. “Long live PC Gaming!” Many of the old timers that I know have remained strong and resisted the call of the console […]
Sex, Drugs, and Rockstar Games
Wednesday, July 27th, 2005 at 1:46 pmHere we go again. I know the sex stuff buried in GTA:SA is old news, but the washingtonpost.com has a great article about the story.
“So — the justification for this use of our tax dollars is that Take Two misled the public by promising a game featuring enough violence to make Sam Peckinpah blush, […]
Great Deals
Tuesday, July 26th, 2005 at 5:30 pmI feel like such a fool, spending $676 for my Dell 2001FP LCD monitor! Visit SlickDeals or Techbargains when you have cash to burn and want to maximize pennies spent. There are even iPod deals for Jonathan!

Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting
Friday, July 22nd, 2005 at 8:15 pmSo says Elton John, and who cares if no one is really keeping track of Friday night (tonight)? Since I am already done, I figured now would be a good time to post - my best prose always comes after a few cold ones, and the Harp at the Tap is delicious.
Seriously, a weekend […]
Amazing
Wednesday, July 20th, 2005 at 9:42 pmSometimes developers outdo themselves. Just when you think you’ve seen all of the crappy ideas for games, a new one surfaces that is quite amazing. Here is what Sony planned on competing against Madden with according to Gamespot:
“Road to Sunday wasn’t just about football–it featured some elements that, while incredibly venturous, could alienate […]
NCAA 2006 - T.O.P. Battles
Tuesday, July 19th, 2005 at 12:47 pmFor the first time ever in the NCAA series, I just played a game where the CPU actually won the all important time of possession battle. Anyone that follows my exploits will know that this is damn near impossible! Not only do I tend to play games where I ground things out on […]
The Good Guys
Monday, July 18th, 2005 at 6:15 pmI wanted to interrupt my NCAA 2006 love-fest for a few minutes to write about the good guys of sports. I have been a subscriber to the Sporting News the past three years, and each year I have enjoyed reading the annual Good Guys (What’s right about sports) issue. This year the Falcons’ […]
NCAA 2006 - Speed Matters
Monday, July 18th, 2005 at 11:49 amAnother day, another NCAA 2006 update. While the game is not vastly different than previous versions (I am not even going to count NCAA 2005 as part of the official NCAA series canon), speed actually matters for the first time. Big plays happen when a player with breakaway speed gets a step on […]
PureSim 9.0 Beta
Sunday, July 17th, 2005 at 8:29 pmI don’t beta test anymore, but there’s no reason why folks shouldn’t help Shaun Sullivan develop his latest PuerSim version. He’s released a public beta version of 9.0, so head over and start providing feedback.

NCAA 2006 - A Few More Observations
Sunday, July 17th, 2005 at 4:51 pmI am still not sure what to make of the Race for the Heisman mode; I know I am going to be serious pissed if I win the Heisman and there are no extra bells or whistles. I will be equally disappointed if I import my player into Madden 06 (assuming I buy the […]
Excellent Article
Sunday, July 17th, 2005 at 10:27 amThe New York Times has an interesting piece about the creation of the new Battlestar Galactica.
Upgrading Part 3
Saturday, July 16th, 2005 at 7:20 pmLet’s continue the upgrade saga. One of the things I always try to do during any PC upgrade is maximize the free games I get with the hardware I purchase. Since I don’t buy many games anyhow, there’s usually a high probability that I won’t own the free titles and will get some […]
