Lots of my friends complain about “monthly fee” games, so Jonathan’s reaction to paying $14.99 a month for World of Warcraft is pretty consistent with most gamers I know. Yet one by one they put down their FPS gun sites and slowly migrate to WoW. Here’s my simple analysis of the cost issue. I’ve puchased [...]
Anyone want to bet how many crap games have to be purchased as part of the GameStop.com Wii bundle? Check back soon for information on our exciting pre-order bundles. I am not sure I would say exciting Bob. Maybe expensive. I have still not decided what I am going to do as far as next [...]
The transition to Out of the Park Baseball 2006 has entered the painful phase. The computer AI just does odd things with players. Some get released when traded, others are listed as being parts of teams but don’t show up on rosters, all sorts of nonsense. The good people at Sports Interactive must be on [...]
I rarely quote IGN these days; I think the antiestablishment period in TRB has long since passed, but allow me to post this gem from the IGN DVD review section for the new Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition) release: “Otherwise, however, avoid these sets by any and all means; no matter [...]
I have covered this a few times before, but at one point in my life I was addicted to “collecting” games. Thankfully those days have now passed, because they typically ended with a game library that grew dusty, stale, and worthless. Ah, but there are a few gems to be had. I am talking about [...]
Bush vs. Williams is certainly fun, but the best story of the weekend for me has to be the Ravens. Could it be possible that they are now a legitimate contender? The addition of McNair, if he stays healthy is going to be huge. Throw in a strong rushing attack and a revived defense and [...]
For all of those pundits out there that think Houston should have picked Reggie Bush, please take a good look at the Texans’ roster. I am a long time fan of teams with great defenses – New York Giants and the current Jacksonville Jaguars. Houston learned what Jack Del Rio already knows. To beat the [...]
is a lot better than anyone in the Texan’s backfield. Reggie Bush managed 141 total yards in his debut against Cleveland (61 on the ground; 58 receiving; 22 on punt returns). Houston’s leading rusher, Lundry only managed 32 yards on 11 carries. A season one game does not make, but second thoughts in the Houston [...]
I came across this MSN Autos gas prices site the other day (I think I saw it in a recent Road & Track magazine) and figured I would pass it along. I paid $2.49/gallon this morning, which was $0.02 over the cheapest I could get in Columbus, but is a lot better than the national [...]
While Georgia’s 18-0 victory over South Carolina was enjoyable, it is still not the same thing as betting Florida, especially those Spurrier led Gators that kicked our tails year after year. It should be noted that Georgia rarely racks up shutouts these days; I cannot recall one in recent memory, and I am not sure [...]
Today’s AP and USA Today Polls have Ohio State remaining in the top spot. Fair enough; that Texas win was a big statement for the Buckeyes. Texas slipped to the eighth spot in both polls; once again seems reasonable. Is Georgia really a Top 10 program at this point? AP has the Dawgs ranked tenth, [...]
Just realized that I have not made any predictions for this year, and while one game is already in hand, I think it is still fair for me to throw out a couple of picks. AFC East: New England (a safe pick, and while Miami should be better, I think Brady is too good to [...]
Things should look a lot different about the ‘Bin today as I continue a whirlwind upgrade effort from Nucleus to WordPress. Why the change? Because I think that WordPress is going to provide us with more options, is very flexible, and it seems to be a fantastic tool for blogging. A few quick points: data [...]
As the Recycle Bin fast approaches its fifth anniversary, I have decided it is time for a face lift. Site may be a bit of a mess shortly, but hopefully everything will be back in order soon.
Another glorious weekend is on the way for SEC football. This is the quickie version, so sit back and enjoy the abbreviated weekly preview. Mississippi – Missouri I do not like Mississippi, but I have to go for them for SEC pride. If Ole Miss manages a decent rushing attack, they may be able to [...]
