Re: NFL Season 2011-2012

Well, since I have never worked for 2K nor have I been in the Military, I do believe you have me mistaken with someone else. LoL, yes I guess I have. I forgot this dsp user name, but the guy I was thinking of worked on 2K baseball for Sega back in the early mid 2000s for KUSH. He probably posts on ...

Re: Gal Civ III

I've gotten pretty tired of the series. The writing is pretty bad (same in Elemental, although GalCiv writing is more about it being boring and sometimes trying and failing to be amusing, and Elemental is just sloppy with style and grammar). The game is best played zoomed out until everything is ico...

Re: Google Chromecast - $35 HDMI Dongle

Pretty cool for web browsing on the big screen. Also lets my housemate stream her parents' Showtime and HBO (which I don't subscribe to) to the TV. Obviously these could both be done by hooking up via HDMI, but whatever, this is easier and I like gadgets. Works well, but mobile app support seems lim...

Re: OT:Smart Phones

I ditched the Lumia 920 and got the GS4. I missed a real app store and Google Maps/Navigation (although I've been using Waze now) to the tune of about $700 after tax. Oh well. And there's only 9GB of available internal storage, and Google removed the ability to move apps to the SD card. Hmmm...proba...

Re: Fallen Enchantress

I've been playing the beta for a while. Some good changes like champions now being tied to a Fame score rather than being placed on the map to be gathered. Traits are selected from a tree now - not sure I like this. I don't feel like there's enough added on top of FE to justify the price, but if you...

Re: OT:Smart Phones

I got the Lumia 920 when it launched and am happy with everything - the size, screen, price, battery, internet speed, feel, build quality, camera, OS, email, SkyDrive - except the app selection. In particular, Nokia's maps and navigation have a lot of problems - I got spoiled using Google's on my la...

Re: Sim City

I thought the region stuff was neat, but the forced interdependence is annoying. My biggest problem with the game is that it's SimDowntown instead of Simcity. You get 7x7 city blocks. What a joke, considering that most people play it to see huge of a town they can create (and then blow it up with di...

Re: Fatpitchers DSP Guide to Vegas

Excellent advice. Vegas is magic! It's also worthwhile to learn how to play the pass line/come bets in craps. You can get odds at blackjack levels if you ignore all the other types of bets, and there's nothing like being a hot table with a group of cheering drunks, especially if you're a shooter on...

Re: OT: Honeymoon in Vegas

Check out the Mac King show (magic/comedy) at Harrah's. It's an afternoon show so it doesn't compete with the headliner stuff, and it's about an hour long. I recommend this to everyone and not one regretted going! Absinthe is a pretty cool show if you're not easily offended. "O" is probably the best...

Win-Q, start typing in what I want to find, and it pops up instantly - much quicker than the Win 7 search, and it's specific to Apps, Settings (w...

Re: Congrats to Jim Thome for 600 the right way!

A tighter strike zone (left/right) has probably contributed to more HR hit, and the enforcement of the high strike probably hasn't had much of an effect. Also, a bigger emphasis by GMs on sabermetrics has made HRs - and thus, players who can hit them - more important, and things like bunting, steali...

Thanks for all the info - keep it coming!

I'm definitely not there for romance! My female roommate has a girlfriend, in fact. Yeah.

Las Vegas does remind me of the stereotypical rich guy with more money than taste. But he throws a hell of a party.

I've been to Vegas only once, and I stayed at a middling off-strip hotel, gambled just enough to pay for the trip, and went to an afternoon magic show and the little wildlife thing at the Mirage. I also walked around quite a few of the hotels to take in the ridiculous level of opulence (alcoholic sl...

Be prepared to take taxis (find a couple numbers and save them in your phone). If you stay at a boutique hotel off Market St, you might get woken up at 5AM by garbage trucks. If you're renting a car, you can save some $ by staying near SF airport, but then you won't be able to see the city as easily...

it's certainly an interesting topic and creates some gray area.. Could MS ban a console for using another MS 360 drive? I guess, but I wouldn't be happy and it seems a little harsh. I could see banning consoles for hacking a 2TB lacie into the equation. Ban? No way. Refuse to honor the warranty? Li...
