SPOILERS BELOW I personally loved the Lau story line. Seeing Batman soar above Hong Kong was fascinating -- and the way they set up his extradition of Lau is perfect (in my opinion). I think the first hour and 45 minutes of TDK is one of the best movies I've ever seen -- and I am not being hyperbol...

Im looking forward to the directors cut.

Great movie!!!
I'm not sure Nolan does "director cuts." Is there an extended version of Batman Begins I do not know about?

SPOILERS

SPOILERS BELOW I enjoyed The Dark Knight, but do feel the movie was a little long. I also thought the subplot with the two ferries was a little much. In my opinion, I would have loved to see Two Face "vanish" after telling Det. Ramirez she lives another day. He should have not kidnapped Gordon's fa...

Those videos are very, very nice. I would kill for PYS to get localized over here in the states. MLB teams, stadiums, etc.

Hey, it could happen. Visual Concepts has just been handed the MLB 2K franchise and given eight months to pump out a product.

Brinkman's "LinkedIn" profile lists him as working at Activision, so that much is true. I hope Take2 doesn't let us twist in the wind until December. A release or sorts about "who" is working on 2K9 would certainly ease some minds - depending on who is actually working on it!

I did not want to create a new thread, so I will post it here. According to someone over at Operation Sports, 2K LA is no more. The studio closed at the end of the March. Development of MLB 2K9 has been moved to Visual Concepts in the bay area. Some members of the 2K8 team, like Brinkman, have staye...

Jon Lester was battling cancer two years ago. Playing for BOS he throws a no hitter in blanking the Royals, great comeback. Lester is a terrific story. He was also nearly traded, twice. Once for Rodriguez in the failed deal with Texas, and again for Santana. Personally, I'm glad they kept him. You ...

I've never been a big fan of Grand Theft Auto. I liked three, but quickly bored of Vice City and was tired of the series by the time San Andreas rolled around. But I decided to rent GTA IV this weekend to try it out. I'm happy I did. Liberty City is alive, moreso than any other GTA city. I played fo...

I think GRID falls into the 'rental' category for me.

I enjoyed the demo, don't get me wrong. But I do not see how this title will replace PGR4 as my racing game of choice.

OT: Watching DVD's on a PC

My new computer (well, it's a few months old at this point), came with a beautiful 22" widescreen monitor. So I now find myself watching DVDs more often on my computer. Problem is, the software that came with my PC (PowerDVD DX) is not good. It's actually awful! Can anyone reccommend good software (...

I don't believe it's fair to say.. "that's the risk these animals take" when they take to the track. They don't really have a choice. At the same time, I would not be one to advocate the banning of horse racing. But today's tragedy (in my opinion) is a black eye for the sport and certainly (again, m...

There are a few updates, such as Colon in AAA for Boston, but nothing major. I actually wish I hadn't waited so long to start my franchise.

Another thing I've realized. has anyone ever had an argument with an ump? I haven't seen a single one, and never thought of it until I was reading the tips section and they have an ump argument one?!? I've played about 20 games, and have seen about 6 or 7 arguments. I was involved in about half, th...

I must not hit the ball hard enough, because I rarely see diving stops.

I've also found pulling one off nearly impossible. Am I missing something?

I know I'm relatively late to the impressions thread, considering I got the game a month later than everyone else. But the only thing really holding this game back, in my opinion, is the framerate and overall presentation. Even after the patch, there are still hitches. And replays between innings an...

After more than a dozen games, I think the classic hitting has finally "clicked." To influence my hits, I've been jamming up or down on the left analog stick, the whole way. It results in nothing more than ground balls and high pop ups. Last night, I tried being a little "softer" and not moving the ...

Re: Am I crazy?

In Presentation Options, I've turned off the score ticker at the bottom of the screen. I've found it keeps the game running a little more smoothly than with it on. But every few innings, it pops back on with news from around sports, etc. When I go into options, it says "off." I can't figure it out....

I can't agree with the above post more. The more I play this game, the more it truly feels like a 'next-gen' MVP Baseball. I played another game today, my third since downloading the patch. I look forward to learning 'what' they addressed. Aside from the framerate, the game feels much smoother. The ...
