Monday, January 23rd, 2006 at 5:05 pmA couple of days ago I said:
“Carolina upsets Seattle, and surprising Denver hangs on in a close one over Pittsburg. I think Carolina wins because Coach Fox will out maneuver Holmgren and company. I used to like Denver (T. Davis and Elway and Reeves), but not so much these days. I am not a fan […]
Revolution
Monday, January 23rd, 2006 at 4:59 pmI am not sure how many people are actually excited about Nintendo’s next system, but after spending some time this weekend reading about the system, I cannot wait for it to arrive. Sure the controller is a little off the deep-end, but the thing may just work. The backwards compatibility will be a […]

Saturday, January 21st, 2006 at 4:30 pmIn anticipation of the wise cracking reviewers out there, Sports Interactive officially changed the name of the artist formally known as Out of the Park Baseball Manager 2006 to Out of the Park Baseball 2006. This pre-emptive strike should put an end to all of the OOTP “BM” jokes.

MVP 06 - Dynasty Mode Comments
Saturday, January 21st, 2006 at 2:42 pmI was going to post this Thursday night, but ran out of time. Apologies if this is somewhat raw …
Thankfully MVP 06 has a very interesting coaching mode. This should be a great option for sim fans, or fans that do not want to play every single game, but want more control than […]
Randomness
Saturday, January 21st, 2006 at 8:31 amI have played MVP 06 NCAA Baseball two out of the last three days. Videogames are fun again; there I said it.
Anchor Steam beer is delicious goodness; costly at about $10 a six-pack, but oh so tasty. Lately I have opted for different cheap beers; the kind of refreshing water with beer flavor […]
MVP 06 NCAA Baseball (10 Minute Impressions)
Thursday, January 19th, 2006 at 1:07 pmNCAA Baseball arrived yesterday, forcing me to break my unintentional gaming sabbatical. After getting my PS2 setup and ready for action, I put in NCAA Baseball long enough to get in a couple of innings.
Since I was pressed for time, I selected the quick play option, and selected UGA vs. Texas. I know […]
MVP 06 NCAA Baseball
Wednesday, January 18th, 2006 at 11:30 amIt looks like my video gaming sabbatical will be coming to an abrupt end later this week when MVP 06 NCAA Baseball delivers the ping of the bat to the PS2. I have been writing for years that I am sick of the crap that goes on between the MLB owners and the MLBPA […]
Danica Patrick and Rolex 24 at Daytona
Wednesday, January 18th, 2006 at 10:30 amSports car racing looks to be getting more and more popular in the US. At least I think there is an upwards trend based on snippets I have recently read in Racer magazine and there is a pronounced upwards trend in participation by NASCAR Nextel Cup stars.
It looks like Danica Patrick is adding her […]
Bait & Switch
Wednesday, January 18th, 2006 at 1:43 amI’m leaving Blackberry land and coming back to my beloved Palm OS. Other than the email push, the Blackberry absolutely sucks as a calendar and contact management program. I actually went back to my relatively older Palm Tungsten C to manage my day-to-day existence. But I have to have my phone and […]
Videogameless …
Sunday, January 15th, 2006 at 8:58 pmSurprisingly no withdrawal symptoms. My TV is sitting on the floor in the living room because the entertainment center (where the TV sat at my old house) is in my kids’ room. All my videogame systems and games are in various boxes in the front bedroom.
I keep thinking I am going to get […]
New Contact Info
Sunday, January 15th, 2006 at 8:38 pmTwo quick points. First, I have not been pulling my calvertgames account because some spam-bot has been hitting the site for a good six weeks. I have not been able to turn it off, so I have been ignoring much of what comes into my main jonathan at calvertgames dot com account. […]
Long Road Home
Sunday, January 15th, 2006 at 8:19 pmIt has been a heck of a haul getting settled into my new house, but it looks like there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel. This renovation project has been a pain in the rear from the get go. The garage apartment was months behind schedule (there is still […]
Week Summary
Sunday, January 15th, 2006 at 12:05 pmSorry for the lack of posts this week. Real life sometimes interferes with free time. But there’s still a bit to chat about, so think of this as a week in review.
I’m happy New England was sent packing from the playoffs. Now maybe their fans will shut up for at least a […]
