Sunday, December 31st, 2006 at 5:58 pmIt is official. I am a WoW addict. So says my wife. The last couple of days I have played with several groups of people, the most memorable of which was a five-party team (mage/myself, rouge, hunter, warrior, and another mage) and a three-party team (mage/myself, and two hunters). The game is leaps and bounds […]
Texas and Georgia Triumphant
Sunday, December 31st, 2006 at 1:06 amThe Horns and Dawgs both overcame early deficits, to take their respective bowls - The Alamo and Chick-fil-A Bowls.
“Georgia finished an up-and-down season with three straight victories over ranked teams, a first for the program. The Bulldogs (9-4) salvaged an otherwise disappointing regular season with wins over No. 5 Auburn and No. 16 Georgia Tech.” […]
Peach or Chicken?
Saturday, December 30th, 2006 at 8:55 amTonight UGA gets to bounce back from a disappointing season in the Chick-fil-A Bowl (formally and endearingly the Peach Bowl). We took the kids to the Georgia Aquarium yesterday, and it was packed; filled to the brim with Virginia Tech. I would say the Hokie gear out numbered Dawgs gear by an astounding 5:1 ratio, […]
Going nuts with WoW
Friday, December 29th, 2006 at 12:06 amAm I addicted? Maybe a little. In the last 7-9 days I have managed to take my mage from level 16 to level 21 (half way to 22). Some of the quests are harder playing solo, but I have managed to hook up with some helpful folks. I have also ran into some of the […]
Three more worthless bowls
Saturday, December 23rd, 2006 at 10:48 amAnother day brings us three more bowls filled with mediocrity, and uninspiring match ups. The first three bowls this year have proved not so much fun for college football fans. I think we could have all done with out these match-ups; maybe scrap all three games and give us TCU vs. BYU, which would have […]
New Orleans Bowl
Friday, December 22nd, 2006 at 2:53 pmAnother day, another bowl we could care less about. The first four years this bowl was around, North Texas represented the Sun Belt, and posted a 1-3 record. Last year Arkansas State did not fare much better. This year Troy will try to shock the world and show that the Sun Belt Conference Champion is […]
Made for TV Bowl (Las Vegas Bowl)
Thursday, December 21st, 2006 at 7:21 pmI read this one was spawned by ESPN to give them something to show besides poker and strong man stuff. So we have (19) BYU vs. Oregon. I am not that high on the PAC-10 (east coast bias and all that) and who cares about the Mountain West Conference or BYU (well, besides BYU fans […]
Poinsettia Bowl?
Tuesday, December 19th, 2006 at 8:56 pmWe can get to the reasons behind the lack of posting later, but for now, Bowl season starts in less than ten minutes!
I am not really sure what the Poinsettia Bowl is, or how teams get invited, but it is what we have to get us rolling into Bowl season. I know that Northern Illinois […]
Cya 2006!
Thursday, December 14th, 2006 at 6:29 pmHere’s my 2006 video game review.
Most surprising gaming moment – I dug up and reconnected both my Xbox and PS2. I’m playing games with my eight year-old daughter and having fun. Nothing really appeals to my adult tastes, but so far my weekends are spent playing Open Season and Legos Star Wars II.
Most […]
Next?
Sunday, December 10th, 2006 at 3:30 pmI just ordered Final Fantasy XII (Collectors Edition) as a belated b-day present from my wife, and God of War (I hear it is awesome) and Gun (’waste of a perfectly good whore’ thing). Hopefully I will actually play this loot.
I have not finished Final Fantasy X yet, so maybe this will inspire me to […]
Next Gen Thoughts
Sunday, December 10th, 2006 at 10:43 amActually I do not have a lot because I do not have a lot of interest in the Xbox 360, I am sitting on the PS3 sidelines, and I am waiting for non-bundle availability of the GameCube 1.5 (er, Wii).
I have written about this before, but much like the PS3, the Xbox 360 does not […]
Falcons Stink?
Sunday, December 10th, 2006 at 9:57 amLingering like a stale fart? Pretty funny stuff from Bill Simmons
The Falcons are like the new Barbaro. Just tell me when they’re officially alive or dead.
The Falcons have a realistic chance at the wildcard, but I figure they have to win three of four against Tampa Bay, Dallas, Carolina, and Philadelphia. I can […]
Roll Tide
Saturday, December 9th, 2006 at 9:19 amI love it! Rodriguez tells Alabama “Ah … no thanks. And don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.” Beautiful!
The only thing that will satisfy Tide fans is for Bryant to return from on high and he would probably get fired after three years. Mike Shula may not […]
Where’s the Wii?
Friday, December 8th, 2006 at 7:54 pmI hate to admit this, but I’ve been trying to find a Nintendo Wii for the past four days. What a sad, sad tale I must tell. May of you know me as the anti-console guy. No denying that. My defense is that my youngest daughter and I started playing Legos […]
Last call for Falcons
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006 at 1:17 pmI listened to the first part of last week’s Falcons game on the radio as I was driving to the airport. I then watched the second half in an airport bar. What I saw continued to disappoint me - the Falcons’ WRs basically suck.
Sure, Vick throws too many balls high, low, off center, in the […]
