Here's a classic: Love is like oxygen You get too much you get too high Not enough and you're gonna die Love gets you high Time on my side I got it all I've heard that pride Always comes before a fall There's a rumour goin round the town That you don't want me around I can't shake off my city blues ...

William Shatner's renditions of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Mr. Tambourine Man" are the most hideous songs I've ever heard. And yes, they do exist. I have them on my MP3 player. So bad they're really, really funny even though the Surgeon General has issued a warning that listening to them ...

The roster editor would be good to use when trying to put together a team. The way it is laid out would make it easier to sort players when looking for info on a trade.

Anyone have any recomendations about using a monitor for gaming? How good is a product like this: http://www.bixnet.com/tvboxforpcmo.html How does a good monitor look for gaming or just as an extra TV? Does the resolution jump out or not? Just wondering and figured some of you must have opinions. An...

My only problem with that statement is that even though the Big House holds more people, there are other factors involved than just size.

Some stadiums hold noise in better than others and the fans are closer to the field. Oregon does not have a huge stadium, but it is a tough place to play.

Living in Atlanta with no children (and with my wife out of town for a project) I have had nothing to do but work, game and read. I do a lot of listening to books on tape/CD as well. I have gone through a lot of books lately. As for mysteries, I really enjoyed Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch books as...

Same here. Getting EGM (electronic version) but not word about Gamepro. Thanks for the info.

As our friends in France would say:

Côtelettes de porc et compote de pommes!

or as Pat Buchanan would say:

Schweinefleisch hackt und Apfelmus!

Jeez, based on what I have read and heard, this is minor compared to what Bob Sura did last week. What is conspiracy to murder compared to missing a layup??

My main gripe is that the only way to see what a pitcher's strength and weaknesses are is to look at them when they are not yet in the game. What I mean is that once a pitcher is in the game, you can't check and see what pitch they are best at and what pitches they are less successful with. Same goe...

Tournament option (you had it on ps, perfect year to put it back on ps2 since your coming off a dual championship season) I LOVED this option on the PS2. All those undefeated teams with cupcake schedules would get their butts smoked in the tournament. This mode revealed the fraud and showed the tru...

Search both half.com and ebay for a converter. Here is an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20385&item=8100271932&rd=1 I got one of these (check around for one that is both cheap and has cheap shipping). But I also got the Pelican cordless - some thought it was cheap, b...

This has been reported at OS and other places, but just in case someone hasn't heard: The expanded online ESPN Baseball manual in PDF format can be found here: http://www.espnvideogames.com/manuals/ I already printed the 62 page opus for my reading pleasure. I sure wish that EA would start doing thi...

There is nothing more chilling than the sound a pump action shotgun makes when someone chambers a round. The deep metalic 'chaa ching' sound is unmistakable and made even more chilling when the realization hits you that the gun is leveled at your head. So when my wife tells me to get off the xbox fo...

Sounds like the game will have some form of 'home field advantage.'


Wonder if they improved the AI running game?

Hey, at least Sura worked hard to help his team win.

What about Kobe 'making a point' by not putting up shots against the Kings? He cost his team the game by not shooting or playing his game. What does that say about him and the game??

ESPN - I liked last year's game OK, but it improved the things I wanted improved. I am looking forward to playing a lot of games with this one.

I agree with most of your assessment, other than the pitching meter in MVP. I personally dislike the pitch meter. I feel like it makes the game a little too arcade. I would rather the game take care of accuracy/location based on a pitchers skill and how tired they are with maybe a wildcard of good d...

I am wondering about playing with the AI pitching sliders at some point to see if I can make it harder to hit. I don't see this as a huge problem, but it will keep this game below High Heat status. All I can say about hitting in High Heat was that after playing the game for 5 years I still couldn't ...

I played a lot last night. I really suck at pitching right now, but I love the pitching interface. I think I simply throw too many strikes and therefore give up to many hits. I may actually turn the strike zone and cursor on for pitching a quick game simply for practice to get an idea of the strike ...

I got an Xbox for Christmas and sold my PS2 and everything that went with it (except the controller, which I still use for NCAA 2004 with the adapter). The only negative I can say about the Xbox is that Sony supports their console with a sports lineup and Microsoft apparently doesn't. When I got the...

They just don't get it. If I want motion, I will turn on the TV. Why do websites keep trying to replace TV?? It also pissed me off that you have to pay for additional content. Look, I have been watching ESPN from day 1 and I have been getting the magazine since it came out. Shouldn't people who subs...

I think it would be too strong a word for me to say that OS and their reviewer 'lost credibility' with me over the MVP review, but I must admit that if he loved MVP as much as the review stated, then clearly he is looking for something different in a baseball game than I am. After playing both MVP a...

I am excited about the new Thief game. I loved the first 2 and despite the fact that Deus Ex Invisible War let me down (Not bad just not incredible) I think that Thief has good potential for both the Xbox and the PC. I will get ESPN Baseball. I bought and sold MVP and ASB. Might as well go for 3 for...

She is something of an expert in the application of makeup - she certainly wears enough of it.
