    What game did you absolutely dislike and could not come to finish?

    I'd love to blame it on that, but this is the third iteration of this broken franchise that 2K has enjoyed the benefit of exclusivity. At this point, if you can't even put out a working game, and a game that is even worse than last years, strips aways features and offers little to no support...

    Have you ever given negative rep??

    I agree with that. I was neg repped because the person decided it was their job to enforce the board rules (which I hadn't broken) so they gave me "warning neg rep".

    Google to cut China porn results

    To be fair, although there is surely a financial motivation, I think this move is far more about simply following the laws of the land. Google has on multiple occasions had to deal with censorship in the US, specifically with the issue of pornography, so taking this step is really just doing...

    R.I.P. Ed McMahon

    Truly a legend, it's sad news to hear. I can still remember my *** and *** watching Carson and McMahon every night growing up. I was also rather impressed with all of the tributes to him by all of the late night show hosts.

    Falcon Northwest. Expensive, but can be custom made.

    I did. Conan clowned him pretty good with the ShamWow, I laughed pretty hard at that segment of the show.

    U.S. Supreme Court Cuts Back Police Officers' Vehicle Search Options

    It's a slippery slope. A friend of mine actually was cited for having an open container in the trunk, and I tend to think that if there is probable cause that there is ******* anywhere in the car, and a person appears *****, that there's reason to search. At least, that's my interpretation of...

    **** embarrasses themselves once again

    I just take issue with the way the put their practices above everything else. It's one thing to call for ****** rights, and another to practice it, which **** isn't. Right now, all they are is shock artists, if you will, that is they do things to condemn people publicly, without reasonably...

    Electronic Arts says "we already maxed out the power on 360." PS3......

    Honestly, from a developer standpoint, pushing the CPU capabilities are far inferior to finding optimal ways to provide good graphics.

    What game did you absolutely dislike and could not come to finish?

    You're absolutely right. What pisses me off the most as a customer, is how they put out an absolutely top of the line product in NBA 2K9, and have nothing else worthwhile. NBA 2K9 was probably my favorites sports game this year (outside of NHL 09) and it ***** me that they couldn't deliver a...

    Based on what they show on his television program, it looks like he actually endorses a fraction of the number of products that are demoed for him.

    College Baseball Anyone?

    Yeah, you're right. I just wish someone would inform college football of that as well. Back when I played, we started in august with weights and starting hitting etc in October, but I'm sure there are more restrictions on allowed times to practice now.

    Any Alienware users out there?

    Because of Dell's acquisition of Alienware, their products are pretty similar, unless you're willing to pay for the namesake. Another company that makes high end gaming computers is Falcon Northwest, and I hear positive reviews of their stuff quite often.

    MLB 2009 thread

    Yeah, the rotation is a little iffy in terms of star power, but all three of those guys are at least solid. Another possibility I could see is bringing in Jarrod Washburn from the Mariners, who would add another solid lefty to the rotation, at potentially very little cost (talent-wise). See...

    What game did you absolutely dislike and could not come to finish?

    The Show is the best baseball sim out there by far. 2K has pretty much lost me as a customer after the atrocity that is the MLB series of the past few years.

    Sorry, I was out of town for the weekend, and didn't have internet access, but that was a pretty damn stellar round of semi-final match-ups. Probably one of the best I've seen in some time.

    What game did you absolutely dislike and could not come to finish?

    MLB 2K7, 2K8, and 2K9. I'm going crazy without a 360 baseball sim. And the 2K Sports people working on this series should be out of work. Unbelievable. I like MLB: The Show series, but I much prefer the controls of the 360 for baseball sims.

    Eh, McCutchen waiting was more of a bonus in the trade for the Pirates. McCutchen offensively has been ready to make it to the big club for almost a full year now, the only reason he's been in the minors is because he plays defense worse than Derek Jeter (that is to say, terribly). A good...

    Obama supporters, serious question...

    Eh, Bush didn't really catch any flak until he was up for re-relection (unless of course you're counting the people who opposed him being President in the first place). The fact that he got Congress and a great deal of public support behind him for almost his entire first time makes me think he...

    Best console game graphics?

    To be fair, the major reason that Halo 3 disappointed technically was because of the pressure Microsoft put on Bungie to roll out Halo 3 within two years of Halo 2. I'm not a huge Halo guy anymore, but I think the new ODST will probably be a lot more technically impressive simply because Bungie...

    Xbox Natal

    On Jimmy Fallon's show last week they had a guy demoing Project Natal. He showed the obligatory horizontal breakout game, but he actually showed a fully functioning 3D racing game (might have been Need For Speed, I can't recall exactly), and it worked flawlessly.

    Any potential deficiency is the result of inaccuracy of tagging by in large. It's also partially just the nature of YouTube videos, in that the titles are completely arbitrary, and oftentimes not actually related to their title. But something I noticed today was that all of the searches I...

    I disagree with that. They traded McLouth, who is nearly the same age as Maholm, and was signed to a club-friendly contract, all for prospects. The Pirates are rebuilding, which makes Maholm their best chip right now. If a potential deal to the Dodgers were to arise and then fall through, it...

    He certainly could be had, but I don't think the Dodger have the pieces to get him. The Pirates right now are actually (finally) stockpiling talent in the ***** to try to get a contender. Plus, the Dodgers already have a poor-mans Malholm in Eric Milton.

    Best console game graphics?

    The thing that gets me about Halo 3, (besides the fact that is was hyped up beyond belief) was the sheer amount of recycled textures. Halo 2 wasn't even all that technically impressive, yet Bungie recycled somewhere in the neighborhood of 45% percent of the textures in that game.

    The engine itself isn't all that bad. The problem is they changed everything up interface-wise, and users will have to learn to use it efficiently. The good part for me is that this will hopefully push Google to make their engine even better.

    YouTube is far and away the most used video site on the Internet. To view YouTube as an inefficient tool for video search isn't really giving it credit, because the ability to easily find and share videos is why YouTube got popular in the first place. Sure, it's difficult to find videos that...

    Umpire in high school baseball game ejects entire crowd

    It's not quite that easy, but compared to other sports, at the amateur level becoming an umpire is relatively easy. But that's primarily because the qualified umpires picked up and started officiating professional games to make more money, and enjoy union benefits.
