Stuffs
« Previous EntriesFriday Morning Bliss
Friday, August 15th, 2008 at 6:10 amYesterday was one of those rough ones. You know the kind of workday where you come in early, leave late, see oh so little light at the end of the tunnel, but finally get some closure to the day so you can go home to your sleeping family kind of days? One of […]
The anti-gaming week.
Thursday, August 7th, 2008 at 6:57 amNot really, but it seems that way. Look week of “real world” stuff, so no gaming updates until tomorrow.
So how about those Jets? Makes EA’s decision to put Favre on the cover looks sort of silly. Last night I heard some talk about Favre being the face of the Jets and helping […]
Hide the women and children. Here comes the porn.
Saturday, July 26th, 2008 at 5:32 pmI am not sure if porn and videogames go hand-in-hand (make your own damn puns), but I do know that it is a matter of time before some of the more adult oriented Japanese anime makes it into a US videogame. Niche for sure, but it is coming sooner or later. Or maybe […]
Baseball Mogul 2009
Saturday, July 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pmClay Dreslough asked me to take a look at his latest version of the long running Baseball Mogul series. Ask and ye shall receive. I’ve installed it (file is literally half the size of the mammoth Out of the Park Baseball 9 download) and played two games. My initial reaction is mixed. […]
Its Saturday Morning Stuffs Time!
Saturday, July 19th, 2008 at 8:26 amComing at you fast, furious, and with half the verbosity.
First up, last night I download the Super Stardust HD Team Expansion. It was $4.99, but I have read that a couple of articles that hint that somehow it is included with release 4.0. Not sure WTF that means except that I may have […]
Odds and ends.
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 at 6:26 pmUnless something significant happens, I do not think this Qore thing is going to end well. I wrote recently that there was just not much I was interested on volume 2. Exclusive demos are nice, but not much fun if the game is not interesting. Last night I cranked up volume 1. […]
How much is too much?
Sunday, July 6th, 2008 at 4:00 amEvery once in a while I check out what is going on in the world of Dungeons and Dragons. I am not sure why. I guess it is sort of a trip down memory lane, and in the back of my mind I think maybe my kids will take this stuff up one […]
Now Drinking. Beer. It’s back and it is good.
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 at 5:52 pmIt’s been a while, so let’s get things rolling quickly. First up is a classic
Pabst Blue Ribbon, henceforth referred to as “PBR,” has won numerous awards since its creation in 1844. It was even the beer the military gave to the troops in WWII. Since that time, however, PBR has sort of […]
Football annual time again.
Saturday, June 28th, 2008 at 4:45 pmEvery year I fight the temptation to not spend a bucket load of money on the football annuals, and every year I fail to resist the urge. Today I threw out several annuals - Phil Steele’s 2007 College Football Preview, Lindy’s Southeastern 2007 Preview, CBS College Football 2007 Season Preview, Athlon Sports Southeastern 2007 Preview, […]
Out of the Park Baseball 9 Released
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 at 4:43 pmMy favorite line over in the Out of the Park Baseball forum by StrangerFan:
“Dear Lord, crack addicts needing a fix show more patience than some on here.”
That about sums up the OOTPB9 hysteria over at Out of the Park Baseball. I am paying full price for the game and will take a look at […]
Slow news day (or week or month or whatever).
Saturday, May 17th, 2008 at 8:04 amSorry for the lack of updates. Just got back from a nice vacation at Carillon Beach, FL and am now off to Frankfurt, Germany. Should get in some PSP time on the plane and be back to regular posting for Memorial Day weekend.

It’s Saturday, so it must be blogging time.
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008 at 5:16 amPost has been sparse of late, but yesterday was a Good Friday, tomorrow is Easter, and the weather is great (except for the pollen). Posting a plenty should ensue shortly.

Blah Blogging
Saturday, March 15th, 2008 at 4:26 pmIt has been kind of a “blah” week or two for blogging and gaming. I have not played much of anything lately, but plan to get back into Uncharted and purchase MLB 08 The Show (PS3) in the very near future.
Last weekend I did see a couple of great John Wayne movies in HD (I […]

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead (Toshiba kills HD DVD)
Saturday, February 16th, 2008 at 5:21 pmWe (that is those of us longer for a universal HD format in the form of Blu-ray) have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Finally, Reuters is reporting that Toshiba is giving up on HD DVD.
“The move will likely put an end to a battle that has gone on for several […]
