Thursday night I managed about an hour and a half of playing time before my PSP’s battery gave up the ghost. I suppose that out of the box, the battery has not been initial charged, so no real reasons for concern. Yet. First impressions? The screen looks fantastic, and overall I would have to say [...]
The great thing about this little blog is that Jonathan and I bring different viewpoints about the wonderful world of computer gaming. We agree on many things, but I have little to no interest in console gaming. And if it is possible, even less interest in portable gaming devices. So I’ll leave all of the [...]
My wife tells me that my PSP arrived safely from EBGames.com via UPS Next Day service today at 1:30PM. Of course I am at work (with 2+ hours to go before I can get away), and still have soccer practice, along with the “getting the kids ready for bed ritual” before I can even think [...]
Who knew it would be so damn difficult to know for certain if I am going to get a PSP on launch day? I previously posted some portions of the more interesting emails from EBGames.com that were not 100% clear if I would get a PSP upon release. How hard can it be to give [...]
As expected, the PSP reviews are stating to roll in at various gaming and non-gaming sites. I figured it would be fun to see what some of the non-gaming sites have to say about this new gaming wonderment. Continuing on the previous theme (see “PSP Review – Gaming = Good; Multimedia = Bad” post below), [...]
Washingtonpost.com has an interesting PSP review. You may have to register with the site to see the review: “If you get a PSP, do yourself a favor and stick to the games. If you also want to listen to music and view your pictures, just get an iPod Photo or another music-plus-photos player. What if [...]
I suppose many sports fans spent yesterday engrossed in March Madness, but I spent my TV time engrossed in the 12 hour Sebring race on SPEED. It seems like each year I get more and more involved (dare I say engrossed) with endurance GT racing – very interesting racing, with tons of high quality drivers. [...]
Baseball games have come and gone this season, but the only significant news is that there will be a new patch issued for Out of the Park Baseball in a couple of days. I hope. Since this patch was promised as a “Christmas present” in 2004, many have speculated that Markus actually meant an early [...]
Yesterday I was exuberant about my PSP preorder from EBgames.com (see Virtual Sex below). Today I read the fine print: You may cancel your order at any time up until ten days prior to the PSP launch, which is March 24, 2005. To expedite processing, your credit card will be charged ten days before the [...]
Well, not really, but it makes for a nice headline. As I just told my wife, I guess this is what virtual sex feels like. She was starting to get pissed until I told her that EBgames.com just confirmed my PSP preorder. Pretty sad state of affairs when EBgames.com makes me happy by saying that [...]
Still no word from ebgames.com or the local ebgames about my preorders. I have no idea if I am going to get 0, 1, or 2 PSPs at launch, but there may be some good news from ebgames.com: Your choice of any four games, accessories or a combination thereof, from a select list of launch [...]
Do your disks need protection? Ever consider a disk condom? Sounds crazy, but I picked up a 5 pack of d_skin disk protectors last week from Best Buy. Yes, I am supporting the enemy, but it is not my fault that someone gave me a gift card for Christmas, so I am not directly supporting [...]
What is the ultimate site for GT4 info, including outstanding forums/message boards? Back in the day it was the Gran Turismo Forum, but that place looks rather dead. Please do not tell me that it is GameFAQs. Anyone want to help a poor guy out? These days I just do not have time to surf [...]
If I said the AI in GT4 was better than the AI in previous GT games, many of you would say that I was a f’ing genius because it could not get much worse. The AI has been slightly upgraded, but it is nothing to write home about; marginally better at best. Of course I [...]
I no longer can remember how long I have anticipated the release of Gran Turismo 4, so last night, opening the wrapper on the game was pretty anticlimactic. I put in the game and was greeted by a kicking intro sequence with beautiful graphics, Panama by Van Halen blearing. That got my blood pumping. The [...]
