Friday, July 25th, 2008 at 6:44 amIt’s kind of hard to post Calling All Cars multiplayer impressions when no one is online to play the game. I checked the lobby multiple times last night from 7PM to around 1AM and only once did I find another game brewing. So I got in one five minute game, which is not […]
George Brett. Pine Tar Game. Greatest 3B Ever.
Thursday, July 24th, 2008 at 8:38 pmGeorge Brett is my all time favorite baseball player. Ever. Period. End of story.
I grew up playing 3B in little league, and it was natural that I had to pick between Brett, Mike Schmidt, and (as a Braves fan) Bob Horner. The choice was easy for me. Not sure why, […]

Braves beat-down continues.
Thursday, July 24th, 2008 at 6:36 amThe Braves may have beaten the Marlines 9-4 last night, but at what cost? Chipper Jones and Tim Hudson both left the game due to injuries
Will Chipper have to park his NL leading .369 average?
Jones, the major league’s batting leader at .369, was hurt running out a grounder in the fourth inning and immediately […]
Naruto Storm not so exclusive to Qore.
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 at 8:29 pmI just noticed that Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm was available on the PlayStation store. I am shocked that it did not happen sooner. A couple of weeks ago I said
“In other news Qore episode 2 Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is still exclusive to Qore. Over/under is the Qore episode 3 release. I […]
Virtual goodness.
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 at 6:43 amMy kids think it is funny that I put a parental control pin lock on their Wii, but there is no way I could leave them to their own devices with Nintendo’s online store.
Until last weekend I had not taken advantage of any of the virtual console games, but as a reward for the kids, […]
NCAA Football 09 Discussions (Eye Candy)
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 at 7:09 amI have been participating in a fun discussion over at the digitalsportsgame.com. If you want to read some intelligent, diverse discussion on the game, check out this thread.
Whats more delicious? Tori Praver or NCAA Football 09? - © SI.com
I am biased, but I think my last comments in the thread (check out page 10) […]
PSP gets sarcastic …
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 at 6:38 amOne of writers for sarcasticgamer.com just picked up a PSP
How about some Loco Roco?
“So, even before you get any games for the system, the PSP gives you a lot to do with your media. When I got home, I immediately started filling my memory stick with all kinds of goodies. Buying the system has basically […]
Is E3 irrelevant?
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 at 6:00 amWhen E3 was in Atlanta (1998 ish), I had a great time walking the show floor, trying the demos, getting free beer from Sony, picking up all the free crap, and then some. All for free as a member of the gaming press. Those days are long gone.
gamesindustry.biz makes a case that something […]
Sony is not in business of writing checks for exclusives.
Monday, July 21st, 2008 at 8:44 pmWe know that Sony has lost exclusive titles left and right. Why? There has been lots of theories and conjectures, but until now it was just that; speculation. Thanks to gizmodo we know that Sony is not in business to write checks for exclusives
This, as we learned from Sony’s Jack Tretton, is […]
Need proof that Sony is winning? Don’t look here.
Monday, July 21st, 2008 at 6:56 pmI typically stay away from all things NBC related (typically way too liberal minded for this card carrying conservative to the point of being marginalized), but this story caught my eye
Then he watched the Sony press conference, and the world as we know it changed. After hearing about “Metal Gear Solid 4”, as well as […]
Sony thinks Final Fantasy sucks.
Monday, July 21st, 2008 at 6:49 amNot really, but I think there is a feeling that Sony told their fan base to f’off. So, here is the final word (at least for me … for now) on the announcement that shocked the world; Sony responds to Final Fantasy XIII going multi-platform
1UP: You’re not too upset about the announcement? You don’t […]
Sunday Night Potpourri
Sunday, July 20th, 2008 at 8:11 pmToday was a good day for yard work, real life work (not really, but duty called), beer guzzling, and NCAA Football 08. There was not much sports related in front of me worth watching. At this point, with Tiger out, I could care less about the Open, the Braves suck, and football is […]
NCAA Football 09 Scoring Bug
Sunday, July 20th, 2008 at 12:48 pmI just finished up a game that really points out some of the glaring flaws with NCAA Football 09. I took the Georgia Bulldogs on the road to face Eastern Michigan University. Of course the Dawgs brandished their black jerseys. I picked EMU because my #1 ranked (and 99/99/99 rated) black shirted […]
NCAA Football 09 (first detailed impressions)
Sunday, July 20th, 2008 at 7:52 amI guess the word is more or less out; NCAA Football 09 is a common disaster, but a fun one. The broken slider issue is inexcusable, and while I do not really care about the custom roster problems, this stuff gives the appearance of a complete lack of quality control. Tell me that […]
