The Boston Red Sox are good...good enough to poop on!

Oh yeah, ESPN should show equal enthusiasm for the chances that a team could win a championship for the first time since 2000 that they showed for a team that hasn´t won since 1918. <BR> <BR>If the Yankees win the series, the story will be about the off season trades and free agent signings. If Bost...

Half.com and E-Bay gurus: advice sought

I got an Xbox for Christmas and got a start on my library by selling and buying on half.com. <BR> <BR>The bottom line is that if you want to sell your stuff, set a good price. That is easy as pie with half.com. For example, search half.com for NHL 2003. For the PS2, the best price on there right now...

PC vs. Console

Like a lot of people, I see both sides. <BR> <BR>I have been living in a hotel for the past few months (long story involving the sale of a house, wife working out of town, etc) and the Xbox has been a lifesaver. But I miss the PC for FPS games and for golf. I would much rather play Tiger Woods on th...

Thoughts on the Super Bowl and the NFL in general

"Parity isn´t ruining the Super Bowl, 6 hours of pregame coverage, 40 minutes of coin tosses, national anthems, and odd tributes before the ball is even kicked off, and 35 minute half time shows are killing the Super Bowl. The NFL needs to realize that the event is the Super Bowl and therefore the f...

Janet´s eye popping halftime pic.

The real reward for a player who´s team makes the Super Bowl is that they are spared the indignity of watching it on TV. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif">

Xbox owners: Baseball games discussion

I have to agree that High Heat 2004 was dull. Even on the PC with all the add-ons, it just did not keep my interest like in past seasons. The most fun I had was with WSBB, but even that game was flawed. <BR> <BR>I hope one of the games this year has some staying power, but I am not holding my breath.

I can manage a game like football or baseball on the treadmill, but I could never play basketball or hockey.

What is on your preorder list (spring/summer)?

I feel about the same about the baseball games. But my method of ´rental´ will probably mean that I purchase the game for $49.99 and then sell it on half.com for 38-40 (if it turns out that I don´t like the game). That way I get to use the game for a few weeks and actually have a manual to read so I...

Would it be possible for Sega to write into the code some sort of special teams ´goof´ percentage? perhaps a 1/2 to 1 percent event where a snap is bad, a block is missed, some other sort o...

OT: Can someone explain to me how paypal works

The one advantage about connecting PayPal with your checking or savings account is that once you do that, you are no longer limited in the amount you can spend. If your account is hooked up with only your credit card, there is a limit of a few hundred dollars.
