« Previous EntriesNew BM 2007 Patch
Monday, March 27th, 2006 at 8:49 amThere’s a new beta (or “unofficial”) patch available for Baseball Mogul 2007 that addresses many of the initial game killing bugs folks have found since it was released.
CM 2006 PSP
Monday, March 27th, 2006 at 8:39 amA PSP version of Championship Manager 2006 will be released on April 7th, or at least overseas it will be.
New OOTP History
Friday, March 24th, 2006 at 7:50 pmFor those that missed it, it seems that Markus has stepped into the void left by “mad as hell” Marc Duffy. He posted some very nice screenshots of the new league history that will come standard with OOTP 2006. One the one hand, I’m very happy that the old almanac is gone and […]
I Am Out of the Madness
Thursday, March 23rd, 2006 at 10:39 pmI only filled out one bracket, and I had Duke winning it all, so I am done. Too bad, because prior to tonight I had my final eight intact. Yet another reason for me to not bet on sports.

Mr. Duffy Meets The OOTP Community
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006 at 10:42 pmSeems Marc Duffy is mad as hell and he’s not going to take it any more! I’ve read the Sports Interactive forums for a long time and the OOTP boards are much tamer on even their worst day. It just seems odd that he would up and stop posting like that. What’s […]
Yet Another Set of Paying Beta Testers
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006 at 10:35 pmSeems you should avoid Baseball Mogul until it is finally ready to be released. Or I should say until the released version actually works.
New Mogul
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006 at 8:33 amSports Mogul, Inc wins the earliest text-baseball release for the new season contest. Baseball Mogul 2007 is available for download for a reasonable $19.95. I might even try it for that amount, a price point the folks at Grey Dog Software need to be introduced to. New features include a pitch-by-pitch mode, […]
Don’t Get It
Tuesday, March 21st, 2006 at 7:58 amI guess I’m in the minority, but I simply do not understand all of the hoopla over Oblivion. I don’t know how good or bad the game will be, but that’s not the point. I can’t understand how people can go from an online RPG back to a computer AI-only game. I […]
The Old Software Stuff
Sunday, March 19th, 2006 at 8:25 pmThis is fairly off topic, but today I was cleaning out another box of junk. Forget that this should have been done before we moved, not now, but I digress. Among the Good Will goodies were Borland software aplenty - Turbo C++, ObjectVision, and Turbo Pascal. Not sure why I hung onto […]
Quick Update
Sunday, March 19th, 2006 at 10:47 amI’ll be back to posting on a more regular basis over the next few months. I was in seven OOTP leagues and cut back to three. I’ll probably stay in two leagues and that will be it for a long while. I want to pay more attention to my own OOTP league […]
CM 2006 Gold Demo Released
Saturday, March 18th, 2006 at 6:54 pmFor those of you curious about the new match engine in the Championship Manager series, a demo was released that is available for download.
Maximum Crap?
Saturday, March 18th, 2006 at 6:48 pmThere are very mixed reviews coming in about Matrix Games’ Maximum Football. Reading in-between the lines (I don’t own the game), seems Matrix Games followed the artists formally known as .400 Software Studios business model. You release a broken game, full paying customers become unpaid beta-testers, and then you finally get the product […]
Should Have, Would Have, Could Have …
Saturday, March 11th, 2006 at 5:03 pmI should be working in the yard. Or maybe catching up on some office work. I would have, but the weather is just too nice (79F right now, partly cloudy sky) to do anything of the sort. I could have gone for a run at the park, although I did go for […]
Speaking of Bonds …
Saturday, March 11th, 2006 at 4:26 pmI do not normally read this sort of stuff, but I cannot wait to read “Game of Shadows: Barry Bonds, BALCO, and the Steroids Scandal that Rocked Professional Sports” by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. The book is due out March 27; I plan to preorder from Amazon later this weekend. I normally […]
Weekend Stuff (and More on Books)
Saturday, March 11th, 2006 at 11:16 amThe weekend got off to a good start, which a date night; my parents let the kids sleep over. This gave Tonya and me a chance to have drinks with some friends, and some much need time alone. It is always fun to have a lazy Saturday morning - breakfast at the ATL […]
