Re: R.I.P. those affected by the school shooting in CT

A police officer in every school is ludicrous and a waste of money. It's almost is moronic as thinking that school personnel need to be armed (probably one of the more irresponsible things I've read in the news this past week, especially given how many people who work in schools are mentally unstabl...

Re: OT: Racing 2012 (Spoiler Alert)

It's hard to believe how close Alonso has come to more championships than he already has. Dude had an amazing season and was soooo close today to getting another driver's title. With Red Bull having such good machinery it's easy to take Vettel for granted. He was certainly deserving of another champ...

Re: Wii U - 11/18 @ $300/350

These guys have been live streaming all the Wii-U launch games today and are still going strong. A few things they have noted: long load times, very long download times while updating, and crap framerates of third-party games. http://www.twitch.tv/giantbomb Here is one of the best forum threads of t...

Re: OT: Racing 2012 (Spoiler Alert)

The Austin track looked great on paper and delivered in reality. The trophy design was a bit underwhelming, though. Nice to have F1 back in the USA.

I agree about Alonso. I'm far from a fan of his, but he has been the best driver hands-down this season.

Re: Wii U - 11/18 @ $300/350

Was in a local Walmart today and saw the Wii-U stand with all the games. Out of curiosity, I asked the clerk in the games section if they would have any units other than preordered units. He said they had no preorders at all and that they would put 16 Wii-Us on sale at midnight. I've still been tryi...

Re: Hockey Night in DSP-Season 2011-12

Agree with you on all counts. I don't wish serious injury like that on anyone. I enjoy big hits as much as the next guy, but some of the players don't seem to have any respect whatsoever for each other. You can deliver a big spectacular hit without trying to obliterate him. I know it may not be app...

Yeah, that was ugly. To be honest, maybe this makes me less of a man, but I have never understood why hits like that are necessary, other then an attempt to injure.

Re: OT: Racing 2012 (Spoiler Alert)

Easily the most entertaining race for me of the season thus far. The race had plenty of drama, some great driving and passing (Button and Vettel showed how wheel to wheel passing is supposed to be done), and a great finish with Kimi getting the win. Kimi's comment on his radio, "Just leave me alone,...

The way I see it, once you take out all of the rhetoric and posturing from both sides, they are close to an agreement.

It's about time! Too bad it took the owners this long to propose something reasonable.

Not enough details have been revealed to get a comprehensive picture of the offer, but wha...
