Most of my online music comes from Amazon. iTunes music store is ridiculous with its proprietary formats, and Amazon is cheaper to get the higher quality songs. (I know I'm out of place for saying I buy most of my music, but I respect people who don't :D)

Call of Duty 4 was one of the most difficult games I've ever played, and I was unabashedly giddy after beating it on veteran, took me the better part of 6 months.

I've been looking forward to Splinter Cell since its announcement nearly four years ago.

I have to say, I'm not sure why they're thinking about charging for the service. Seems to me all of that stuff is demand based, so why not make it on demand? Cloud storage is a novel idea for Sony, but would probably negate any need for a hard-drive (FYI cloud storage is storing your files, in...

Jeter for mostly the same reasons as A-Roid. He cares WAY too much about his image...and it shows. Teixeira for the fact that he's alienated people in every locker room he's ever been in (save for the Yankees - to date). Well, that and the fact that he went on record as saying when he first...

Was Fallout 3 XBL? I thought that was offline only. For me, NHL09 and Modern Warfare 2 need to make that list.

I can understand that. Extreme camping I would agree is just a waste of time, I just couldn't really put into words why that is, and I think you've touched on it pretty well.

I think Infinity Ward did a bang-up job with what they did to multi-player. To be honest, COD4 set the bar so high in terms of sheer customization that I don't think they really needed to reinvent the wheel so to speak. What they really needed to do was look at the balance in the game, and...

While I think the basic premise is solid, that idea would last all of three milliseconds in practice, because it's a direct ********* of Clause IV of the DMCA. By said clause, you can't just sell someone a file (music movies or otherwise) and say "this is the only place you can ever use it"...

Really, if you're only interested in those games, there's not much difference between the two systems, practically speaking. The real question is if you want to play with your friends on X-Box Live or not. With Live, you pretty much get what you pay for, with PSn you have the benefit of...

Honestly, this whole issue is really more of an indictment of the business model of porn than anything else. Porn companies have done nothing about free content/copyrighted material online until the past couple of years. They've literally just stuck their collective heads in the sand and...

It's an IE bug. It has to do with the rendering engine Microsoft built, which, despite claiming to be HTML 5 and W3 standard compliant, still has major rendering bugs. On a side note, I'd highly suggest that you download another browser, (Firefox is always popular, Google Chrome is another...

Hey, bud! I've been out for a while now, and my three week training has turned into three months. The internet I've got at home is spotty though so I'm trying to get that together. Hope you're doing well, my friend!

Yeah, the very public nature of his divorce from the Packers that suddenly has him on a mission to "show them" is sort of what convinces me. Nick Swisher?!? Wow, perhaps you've had an experience that has left you with that impression, but having talked to him probably hundreds of times, I...

I would tend to agree with that sentiment considering the beatings he's taken.

Unfortunately, you're probably right.

Oops, wrong thread. Sorry. But just an aside, Hot Mega, the same 2% increase in rushing would increase Vicks Eyds/play to 4.2.

Actually, it's completely irrelevant what means you use most, (although I would agree that Vick has tons of potential). That's exactly where EYds come in. Looking at his career EYds/play yields: 2001- 2.75 2002- 5 2003- 2.6 2004- 2.1 2005- 4.7 2006- 3.5 For a career average of 3.4...

Guy can practically fly around the track.

You're right, there are other factors, however, historically, successful NFL QBs have a completion percentage somewhere in the low 60s, even those who don't have excellent O-Lines, and or receivers, (at least the ones who are any good). Additionally, those factors tend to balance out over the...

Re: RockBand:the Beatles what do you think bad band choice? Yeah, for me, I'd probably rather see it as DLC too.

Re: Ps3 slim and price cut rumors running rampant.....madden in 2 weeks....coincidenc For gaming it's pretty much a wash. Port forwarding is more helpful with other computers on a network because it essentially allows them to connect pseudo independent of one another. For gaming however...

Yeah, it's a tough situation for retailers, especially since they bought most of those units at the launch price, and would be potentially losing 300-400 dollars per unit sold back. To be honest, I haven't seen any substantial studies on the X-box failure rate as a correlation to time in...

You're right, two years ago he was. But statistically, he was an anomaly. Last year, for the first 8 games he was 12th in terms of DYAR value for the Jets. From then on he was fourth to last, although his interception percentage stayed roughly the same the whole season. I'm not putting it...

Pierzynski has a terrible reputation around the Bay, and it's his own damn fault for running his mouth the entire time he played for the Giants, not to mention the times he badmouthed the A's. Guillen is probably a bigger douche bag than AJ. All it took, (for me anyway) was for me to find out...

The higher number had very little to do with new units and everything to do with the sheer quantity of initial models manufactered. There are stores that are just now getting the newer consoles because they bought a huge quantity when the 360 launched and couldn't just absorb the cost and this...

You're neglecting one very important part of that survey: There are approximately 35 million 360 consoles in the world. That 5000 is an excruciatingly small sample size, and is in no way reflective of the true failure rate. That being said I personally think the rate is probably higher than...

:1orglaugh Ozzie Smith was one of my ********* idols, and has proven to be a pretty swell guy. I'd be remiss if I even tried to hint at anything other than him being a genuinely nice guy. I'm thinking Milton Bradley could probably make this list too. On the list already.

STDiva may have a point. Favre put up a Passer Rating Index of 97 last year, which is below league average (average is 100). Tarvaris Jackson put up 117, which makes him much better than Favre at this point. Also Mark Schlereth brought up an interesting point: there hasn't been a team in NFL...

So they did. I do find the timing interesting. Sony announces a price cut just as the 360 beats the extremely cheap PS2 in sales for the 3rd consecutive month. Smart move by Sony, hopefully it brings some life to the battle, because the 360 is starting to run away with it.

Re: RockBand:the Beatles what do you think bad band choice? Keep in mind that the majority of the people who play Rock Band are casual players, not hardcore like you or I may be. It makes pretty solid sense why they launched this first, if for no other reason then to market to them.

Re: Ps3 slim and price cut rumors running rampant.....madden in 2 weeks....coincidenc Just an aside, boy was my spelling ever insufferable in my last post. For the record it's NEPHEW not "Newphew". :1orglaugh But more to the point, Latency with online gaming is essentially what causes what...

Alright, I'll grant you those two examples may not have been most poignant. However, you've arrived at the same conclusion as I have: the NFL has been plagued because of an unfair pay scale. Vick's being paid based on what his perceived value is, not what he's actually worth. His stats...

Thank you for pointing out something that should've been obvious to everyone in the first place. I find it peculiar that no-one has any issue with ISPs and the fact that they have full IP logs of everything users do, and they delete the information at the earliest years later. But oh yeah...

My wife has read the book and really enjoyed it. I personally haven't a clue about it, but it might make for an interesting movie for her.

Sometimes, the Internet does more harm than good.

The list needs John Rocker, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and Mark Teixeira. Probably Ozzie Guillen too.

Kurt Suzuki is a stud. Plain and simple and he's a damn respectable guy. Watching CC "protect" A-Rod and then get the next pitch smoked was absolutely fantastic. If I were Kurt I would've watched that ball for at least 30 seconds, good for him for being the bigger man.

Salary has little to no bearing on how good a quarterback or any player for that matter actually is. It's completely indicative of how he's perceived to play. Case in point: two of the highest paid QBs last year were Alex Smith and JaMarcus Russell, both of whom had a lower Passer Rating Index...

Re: Ps3 slim and price cut rumors running rampant.....madden in 2 weeks....coincidenc Yeah, I've heard at length about the HD picture issues with the 360. I've never heard anything definitive about it, but I have my own theories, most prevalent among them that developers aren't doing a very...

Wasn't that something? The guy publicly states he's got an axe to grind with the Yankees after the way he was treated, then goes on to spur a shutout. I say good for him.

Re: RockBand:the Beatles what do you think bad band choice? I'll probably pick it up. My parents were huge Beatles fans, (who wasn't) and that's a pretty good chunk of my ********* musical culture.

How about Brett Tomko telling the Yankees off? I suppose that's what you get for not giving the guy a shot.

Re: Ps3 slim and price cut rumors running rampant.....madden in 2 weeks....coincidenc You're right, I was stupidly referring to their ******* when I meant the ******* of their game division. I probably should have defined what a modern 3D game is. Those games are 3D in the sense that the...

There's a comedy website, I think it was HolyTaco.com that actually paid to sign one of their interns up for the service. If I remember correctly, it was a two month trial period, and the intern got one person to respond, who ended up flaking. They basically said it's full of spammers...

It's one of two things: 1. The embedded video is corrupted or 2. You're missing some video codecs.

He's fat, that's about it.

Re: Ps3 slim and price cut rumors running rampant.....madden in 2 weeks....coincidenc I'm not saying Nintendo invented gaming. For about the first decade of their existence they were essentially just a brand name more than the games they offered, (the Super Mario franchise notwithstanding)...

I'm Ron Burgundy?

Always making friends, you are. :D
