SW Renegade Squadron has been out for a little over a week, and while I have only put in a couple of hours, I thought I would share a few comments. I read about the game when I was looking at picking up a PSP Slim Star Wars bundle, and while SW Renegade Squadron is [...]

Minor mix up that was quickly corrected. BTW, we are now six! Calvert Games was [...]

Enter Byron Leftwich

No comments

Apparently Bobby Petrino has seen enough of Joey Harrington, who will be replaced by Leftwich as the Falcons starting QB this weekend against the New Orleans Saints.  I figured this move would take two weeks; it took four.  Not that the timing matters; ATL is still going to suck because QB play is not all [...]

OOTPB 2007 Patch 3 Oops

No comments

I downloaded the newest OOTPB 2007 patch earlier this morning, but the darn thing did not work. Instead, the patch installer told me that it could not move forward because I had a newer version of OOTPB 2007 installed. Ouch. It looks like the OOTP gang have temporarily removed the patch from their site until [...]

SEC fans get trashy

No comments

Interesting article about the state of fan affairs in the SEC. First you have Ole Miss fans throwing all sorts of crap on the field after a seemingly bad call, and then you get Kentucky fans going all out crazy after shocking LSU, which to me is one of the more appealing aspects of college [...]

Monday night meltdown?

No comments

I just read that the Falcons are 9-19 (.321) all-time on Monday nights.  Make that 9-20 after tonight.  I am not sure how this one is sitting at 3.5 points.  I see something like 27-17 Giants.  Alge better ask Joey to throw him the damn ball … and when he does, he better catch everything [...]

An abysmal season for the Atlanta Falcons continues to unfold (or maybe I should say unravel). The good news is that ESPN.com is reporting that the Falcons may get some of Vick’s signing bonus back, which will help with salary cap issues. Chalk round one up to ATL. Any money the Falcons recover from Vick [...]

Quick PSP Update

No comments

I decided not to pick up a new PSP Slim. The Star Wars limited edition one sounded cool, but at my age, value wins out over cool and collectable. Honestly, it is not like I am going to keep the system on a shelf to collect and eventually sell. At some point maybe I will [...]

Dumb PSP Design

No comments

So I spent some time playing my PSP tonight and finally decided to see if there was a new firmware update.  There was, so I did the usual download.  Then I went to apply it, and could not because my batty was not charged up, which was to be expected since the darn things only [...]

For my Falcons preview, I predicted a 5-11 season, but after today’s mess at Tennessee, things look to be much worse. Does anyone really think the Joey Harrington led Falcons are going to do anything this year? Even the most ardent Homer has to expect Atlanta to stink up the Georgia Dome. * Wins by [...]

I have been debating picking up a new PSP Slim; the Star Wars PSP Slim limited edition bundle looks pretty cool, but at $200 can I afford something just because it looks cool? I have not checked on eBay to see how much my original PSP can fetch, but I figure it should be good [...]

I almost went broke.

No comments

With apologies to Bowling for Soup, I almost picked up several games at Circuit City last night. Madden 2008 for the Wii would be a great Christmas present for the kids, plus it was $12 off.  I decided not to pick it up yet, because we need to plan a little better – Santa, two [...]

If I say that enough, it may make me feel better about Georgia’s loss to Tennessee and Texas’ defeat at the hands of Oklahoma. Well, probably not, but I can at least justify a young and inconsistent Bulldog team going down at Rocky Top, and everyone knew Texas was seriously over rated this year. USC [...]

A posting we shall go.

No comments

So I have missed a good two weeks between posts.  Stuff happens. What a crappy day for my football teams.  Georgia gets taken behind the woodshed and has the living tar spanked out of them, and Texas goes down to Oklahoma.  Crap. The last three weeks have been filled with very little gaming.  Instead, any [...]
