Intersting CNN article (sports video game related)
Heh, I stopped playing hoops as much as I used to because of gaming, especially on those cold winter nights. <BR> <BR>Video gaming probably doesn´t help the fatness of kids but I believe the nutritional problems (junk food makers are also blamed) and decline in exercise were trends long before games...

Any love for FIFA? Anyone?
I just tried FIFA on a brief GameFly rental. Played a bit of a quick match and tried going online without really knowing all the controls and I got killed, where the guy easily got passes into the box. I wasn´t really tackling or using the sprint either. <BR> <BR>Played a few games of practice and c...

That would suck but makes sense that it would want to take just the division winners and not deal with complicated tie-breakers for wild cards. So 4 divisions is the minimum? <BR> <BR>How about 4 divisions of 2 teams each? Don´t know if it´s possible but I´ve seen divisions with just 3 teams instead...

OT: Xbox 2 May Use Proprietary Discs
There´s a lot of speculation going on right now.

PK, if I remember correctly, when the show aired, they emphasized the influence Pearl Harbor had, making people want to enlist. You have to remember that the nation was against entering WWII even as reports came out about the Blitzkrieg and the concentration camps (which will figure in the later epi...

Yeah everything just worked out my way, particularly a couple of key turnovers to open the second half that turned a one-score game (14-6) into a 24-6 game halfway through the third. <BR> <BR>And I´m surprised about the passing stats because I thought I dropped back for more than 5 passes.

There´s a new one coming out or is out, to coincide with GT4. In fact, some people with GT4 Prologue apparently has the wheel. Supposedly the big difference is 900 degrees of turning?

I think the fan line stunt is too effective sometimes in ESPN. You have these hulking tackles getting a lot more sacks than they should because they can basically run around the guards, going outside and then curling back into the QB in the pocket. <BR> <BR>I understand sacking was impossible in NFL...

I don´t follow college football that closely but was the BCS really about determining the best team or just preserving the bowls? <BR> <BR>Seems like if you put in a playoff system, the bowls as they exist now or existed before won´t work. No doubt college playoff games will also pack stadiums and g...

There´s a lot of cool stuff on IFC and Sundance, if you´re into indie and foreign films.

Yes cable rates have historically been far more out of control than satellite.

Sounds like the Gamecast feature will be part of online leagues again. If they give a pitch-by-pitch gamecast, along with charting of pitches, that would be way cool.
