“The BD version will offer added value with an exclusive behind-the-scenes High Definition (HD) video feature called “Beyond the Apex”. This video will offer […]
Skype skips me and other PSP-1000 owners.
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 at 3:17 amWith the release of the PSP 3.90 firmware, Sony officially supports Skype, but only on the PSP-2000 series. Come again? Yes, those of you with a PSP-1000 (the original, non-slim version of the PSP) are left in the cold when it comes to using Skype.
QJ.net recently explained (or speculated)
“Although PSP-1000 and […]
Sony PS3 SKU Confusion
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 at 8:52 pmI started to post; stopped myself. Then decided to do it anyway. The entire internet is swarming with rumors about the demise of the 80GB PS3 and the interdiction of a new super, duper 120GB (or larger) PS3. Why should this matter? Why should I care?
Actually I only care because I want to see Blu-ray […]
PS3 streaming iTunes AAC files
Monday, January 28th, 2008 at 7:59 pmThis is not going to be very pretty. I have spent too much time trying to get my PS3 to stream my iTunes music files. Looks like it is not going to happen anytime soon, which sucks because the PS3 is supposed to be some sort of centralized, all-in-one media and entertainment gizmo. […]
Return of Twisted Metal
Sunday, January 27th, 2008 at 1:21 pmWatching the Rolex 24 at Daytona, doing some blogging, and catching up on the PlayStation blog. Just came across something I am not sure what to make of; should I be happy or just kind of blah? Twisted Metal: Head On - Extra Twisted Edition (PS2; MSRP $19.99) will be out next week […]
Rolex 24 at Daytona
Sunday, January 27th, 2008 at 12:48 pmI have not been able to watch as much of the race as I would like, but what I have seen has been fun. It is always good to see NASCAR drivers do well in this race. With less than 45 minutes left in the race, Juan Pablo Montoya’s team is in first, Jimmie Johnson’s […]
MLB 08 The Show - what about the gameplay?
Sunday, January 27th, 2008 at 10:07 amSony is getting smarter with their official blog, which they can use to help pimp their upcoming titles, and reach out to their fan base. The recent MLB 08 entry is a good example.
“This year, we added over 500 more gameplay animations. That number doesn’t even include the presentations, personal pitcher deliveries and […]
Airgun Category
Sunday, January 27th, 2008 at 9:40 amI am surprised with the number of hits, searches, and referrals I get for airgun info, so a couple of weeks ago I added a new airgun category to allow those of you coming to the site for airgun info to quickly find airgun posts.
I also moved up the Category section on the left nav […]
Crosman Discovery? Do I really need this airgun?
Sunday, January 27th, 2008 at 9:33 amCrosman is introducing an entry level PCP called the Crosman Discover. It comes in .177 and .22 flavors, with or without a pump, and will allow for CO2 or compressed air. Sounds interesting.
I love my Beeman R7, but would like something with a little more pop to take out those pesky squirrels. […]
Hardball Times reviews Andy Marte for Edgar Renteria trade.
Saturday, January 26th, 2008 at 4:49 pmI can never say enough good things about the Hardball Times. The website is fantastic, and their yearly annual is always a great read. I just found their trade review of Andy Marte and Edgar Renteria, which provides an interesting read.
The Braves are the unequivocal winners from this swap of talent despite what […]
Good Smith? Bad Smith?
Saturday, January 26th, 2008 at 4:41 pmI do not know enough about Mike Smith to have an opinion, but it is obvious that opinions vary. First, from espn.com we get the “good Smith”
“Although the group that Jack Del Rio assembled in Jacksonville featured five former NFL or college head coaches, Smith was arguably the staffer most responsible for the franchise’s […]
Crosman Sierra Pro Update
Monday, January 21st, 2008 at 4:31 pmI received my gun back from Crosman today, which is a nice three week turn around. The repair order said “new screws and loctite” so I guess the original screws were lose or stripped out. Maybe it is that 1000 fps working the action lose from the stock.
Crosman was also kind enough to include a […]

Posting snafu.
Monday, January 21st, 2008 at 3:15 amI am not sure if yesterday’s title mishap (of course last night was Sunday NOT Saturday) was a result of:
Three day weekend; must have thought it was still Saturday night.
Sleep deprivation; I am up with the baby, writing this at 3AM, which has been the norm over the last two weeks.
One two many glasses of […]
Saturday Ramblings (finally, a gaming edition)
Sunday, January 20th, 2008 at 9:54 pmToday I actually broke out the PS3 for something other than Blu-ray deliciousness, spending some quality time with Super Stardust HD. Hard to believe that with the PS3 price point, a fairly cheap PSN game gets the majority of my attention. Oh well. Maybe the PS3 groove will make it back at some point. I […]
