SEC Predictions (Week 12)

No comments

This will be a short prediction article. I’m using the Danny Sheridan lines this week, and for the two games not on the board, I am reverting back to the Calvert’s Odds which requires the favorite to cover 31 points. Going into the weekend I am 40-33. Mississippi St at Arkansas Arkansas is giving up [...]

Uno how much?

No comments

I was looking at the latest PlayStation Store Update and saw that Uno was now being offered at the special low price of $7.99. Good grief!

Turner out? For how long?

No comments

According to the official Falcons site injury report, Turner did not practice again today, but Norwood saw limited action. I know Turner wants to play, but it does not look good. A backup combination of Snelling and Norwood would not be horrible, but Snelling and recently resigned (again) Stecker does not give me a lot [...]

PSN Subscription Fee Rumors

2 comments

The rumors are running rampant – PSN no longer free. Or premium offerings for a special fee. And so on and so forth. This bit from PSXExtreme: We see the same question at least a few times per month from readers: “will Sony start charging for the Network?” We always have the same answer: “no, [...]

I have been attempting to get into OOTP Baseball 10, which I purchased on sale for $29.99 a few hours after the 2009 World Series ended. I say attempting, because the game in damn complicated. Maybe insanely in-depth is a better description. I skipped the last couple of iterations of OOTP. Going back a few [...]

While the Falcons will not provide an “official” injury update for this week’s Giants game until today, USAPlayers [Gambling site? Came up on a google search for Falcons news] thinks Turner is out for multiple weeks. Michael Turner has already been ruled out of the game after suffering a high ankle sprain last week against [...]

What is troubling Ryan?

No comments

It is no secret that Matt Ryan is struggling this year, and things do not look to get any easier. The upcoming schedule features a road trip to the NY Giants, followed by home dates against Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, and New Orleans. The 5-4 Falcons could find themselves 6-7 after this run (I’m assuming they [...]

Top stories concern why BioWare did not include nude sex scenes in Dragon Age, if Gamespot changed the review score of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and if Microsoft is cheating on its Europe Xbox 360 numbers.

Elam sucks!

No comments

Let’s just call it now – Elam sucks! As the Falcons were getting ready to kick the FG that would put them up 22-21, I told my kids that Elam misses easy FGs. Little did I know he would miss a f’ing easy one [34 yards]. If the Falcons lose this one, they should dump [...]

SEC Roundup (Week 11)

No comments

Not really a good weekend for picks (thank goodness I am not really throwing coin at these games), but a great weekend for the Dawgs! I had more losers (Florida, LSU, Mississippi St, and Tennessee) than winners (Arkansas, Georgia, and Kentucky), bringing my total to 40-33. I am still above .500 and Georgia actually made [...]

Monsters that suck.

No comments

Mmmmm. Gnome Stew. I stumbled across this site looking for some 4E materials. Now comes an article covering some of the all time worst, dare I say completely stupid monsters of all time! This has to be the funniest D&D type article I have read in a while. Then again, maybe it is the Jack [...]

SEC Predictions (Week 11)

No comments

Week 11 of SEC football gives us a full slate of action, but not really must see football unless you are a fan of the respective teams. Other than the Auburn/Georgia game, I am not sure how much of the action I will catch. Maybe some of the Tennessee/Mississippi game and I will be checking [...]

It is great to see solid sales data for Demon’s Soul, which managed 150K in sales in October. It is also interesting to see that the Metacritic scores are in line with each other – critic review score (89%) and user ratings score (8.8). Hell just froze over …

Crickets …

Not a lot to say. Upcoming this weekend: SEC Predictions (Week 11), some more D&D 4E impressions, and Falcons/Carolina thoughts. If I am lucky I will have a chance to post some actual gaming articles. And the new Star Trek movie (Blu-ray three-disc set with digital copy) shipped. Love me some Amazon Prime shipping with [...]

Who will have Ryan’s back?

No comments

As ATL gets ready for a trip to Carolina, they need to get some pass protection, double quick. Not that Sam Baker is the end all be all of LTs, but it certainly hurts if he is injured. Atlanta left tackle Sam Baker missed a second straight day of practice. Julius Peppers, meet Matt Ryan. [...]
