I'll echo Spooky's comments. Agree on every point.

On the positive side, I've been playing the new Ratchet & Clank game every night since it's release. Great, great game...

I went 6 for 6 on my picks this week... because I forgot to get my picks done in time for the early games!!! ARGH!!!

Took 4 business days to get the box, then 3 weeks to get the replacement...

My only "Meh" moment came last night while getting my Medium Level Ass handed to me by Ragehawk who was playing on Hard and Expert. He chose a Metallica song (One?) that I honestly can't remember ever listening to, so it was hard to play... Yeah, I know that just about everyone is a Metallica fan, ...

Picked it up yesterday for the 360. I wasn't sure what the problem was at first, but I was having problems just hitting the simple notes. Turns out that my HD TV introduces some lag, so once I performed the calibration from the options screen, (8ms), I was playing much better. No problems with the g...

I hope you guys are still doing this a month from now when I expect my 360 back from MS... I only got one night in before I got the red ring...

Did it look like the Pats were desperately trying to cover the spread at the end there to anyone else? I was thinking the same thing. Why the hell wouldn't they just kick a FG in that situation? Are they worried about tie-breakers or something??? Then they get the pick anyway... Arg... Yes, it was ...

BK - How about a Carlsbad side pool? You and I seem to be keeping it pretty close week after week!

I feel the same way. I'm sitting here in the SD Airport waiting for a flight to Atlanta for a 4 day business seminar. I have my slim PS2 and PowerPros right next to my laptop in my carry on bag.... Can't wait to get some free time this week!!

-Abner's peeve of shots down the line almost always being singles. Doubles are the gap shots. In fact, I have yet to see a double down the line. I agree with everything but this. I have been playing most of my games at PETCO and have had multiple doubles with Giles and Gonzales that were pulled dow...

Well crap... Earlier, one of my sons told me that the 360 has red lights instead of the regular green ones... uh oh...

Anyway, just got off the phone with MS. Should be back on-line in about a month when I get my 360 back..

I probably shouldn't even post yet until I've played some more, but my first impressions are that I'm going to need to do the equivalent of slider-tweaking here before I can get what I'm looking for. Normal level is far too easy in all regards, and even on expert I'm not seeing many walks and I'm K...

Ok, more really cool stuff... Started a season... Had a jet flyover on opening day... Peavy is nowhere near as effective as he was in my exhibition game... The game calls out milestones. For example, before Cameron came to bat, I was told he was 5 HR's away from 200. Had the craziest thing just happ...

Wow... This game is really really good. So far I've done batting, pitching, and fielding practice, and I've played one exhibition setting on the default settings. I don't know where to begin, so here are some random thoughts. - playing PS2 version on my PS3 - game took 25 minutes to play - Beat the ...

Nope

also - i love the fact that when you go to select a stadium, they have a diagram of a seating chart which looks like the real thing (even have the right color seats for Shea!) An especially important detail for Shea because you see so many of them, their color unobstructed by occupants... badum-CHI...

...not sure if I should go the safe route (PS2) or the with the Wii version.... My dilemma exactly. The Wii version would be more convenient for me, but I'll grab it for the ps2 if it is better control-wise. Is it true you can play the Wii version with a gamecube controller? If so, I think I'd be f...

Me too. I know I'm going to pick this up, but not sure if I should go the safe route (PS2) or the with the Wii version....

Zep - thanks for hosting, that was a lot of fun! That was really only my second or third time on-line with Halo, with previous experience being in the beginner rooms playing slayer. I spent most of the time last night just getting used to the maps and understanding the game modes. (I didn't really p...

I'm going to try and jump in later in the evening...

Am I the only one looking forward to this game this week? Everything that I have read from people who have played the Japanese version of the game has been positive. Surprisingly, even with the cartoonish graphics, the stats tracking and sim aspect of the game is supposedly pretty strong...

This game is giving me an ulcer.... Unreal...

Ugh... Week 4 is full of head-scratchers for me. If I get 6 I'll feel really lucky... Chiefs at Chargers is an interesting game, and one I'll be at Qualcomm for. Sentimental pick is the Chargers since they are my team, but if you are going to give me over 10 points, I think I might have to go with t...

What does T-Bagging mean in Halo 2 and Halo 3?. I don't play online but this phrase keeps coming up in MP. From Wikipedia: Teabagging has become a taunt in some online multiplayer First-Person Shooter video games, such as Halo 2 among others. Also known as "Corpse-Humping", the 'teabag' is performe...

If you bring up the controls, there is a 'jump backwards' button. It isn't as nice a real rewind would be with the left trigger, but it's better than nothing. Oh, cool! I was afraid to hit that button as I was already ten minutes into the film and I thought it was a "rewind to start" button... it i...
