QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) Moore went to Buffalo for a 2nd rounder. Now that's annoying. At least the Hawks are inking Havlat. -
Jayson Nix confident he can take second
Steve9347 replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Nix has looked good... but let's see a few more at bats before anointing him. Of the three candidates, he looks the most like a Major League hitter, but he's also the oldest. -
Obviously #1 is Arrested Development. #2 Mad Men #2b 30 Rock.

If by worst you mean most amazing then yes I remember it.

Upon further review, 2k9 on the Wii is really a blast when you just play the game. The only issue is hitting is ridiculously hard, but I'm sure it'll come to me as I figure it out.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 07:34 PM) He's real light skinned on The Show too. So is Dye. No, he's straight up a a white bearded dude in this. I swear, these development teams could pay me 1/4 of what they pay the dude and I'd have much more realistic rosters. At least the 2k series bulls***s the non-MLB contract guys so you'll see a dude named Trevor Farnsworth or whatever for Tyler Flowers so the editing doesn't take too long. Pitching is a lot of fun in this game, while the hitting is too complex but it'll work. Does anyone miss the MVP series and the fact that if you had a perfect swing, it was a well hit ball and sometimes a homer? Why do games think we need a button for contact and a button for power?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) To be honest, this is the first time i've actually heard that people didnt like the movie. 300? Are you serious? I thought only a select group of guys aged 14-28 enjoyed it, and I certainly wasn't even a part of that select group. Yes, a lot of those guys liked it, but that was it. I have yet to find a woman who enjoyed it either.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) and, again, I just think it says a lot about that generation that they let an average rock band change the face of music. It's your opinion that Nirvana is an average rock band. I do not agree with that opinion one bit.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) She said it sounded like a Justin Timberlake CD. Well, Timbaland tends to do that, but I really didn't think so. I thought it was the perfect mix of Cornell and Timbaland.

I thought 300 was complete s***.

I think he's touring right now.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 03:07 PM) My first impression of MLB 09? Do they only have 1 picture of Dustin Pedroia? Could they not afford to buy a second shot? You know that follow through shot on the cover? It appears 5 times on the case and in the booklet, that just struck me as weird and kind of lazy. You want to talk lazy? The Wii MLB 2k9 instruction booklet has multiple typos and the game does not display in full 16x9, there's a good inch on either side of the screen that is just black!

I got to play a bit of MLB 2k9 on my lunch break for the Wii. The graphics of course suck, but the gameplay is really smooth and better than it was on the 360 last year. Of course the controls are all different, so I don't know what that means for the 360. And for those of you with PS3s, yes I am aware you like the Show more and you jump at every opportunity to say it. I have no PS3 so I'm going with what I can play. I'll have a full review tomorrow.

Chris Cornell's new album is available for streaming on his myspace page. link As with everything else he does, I think it's terrific. However, I'm in love with everything Chris Cornell produces. Timbaland's influence on the album only makes it better as well.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) It does seem inhumane by shoving it into a box however I found it funny b/c believe it or people put animals in pillow cases etc all the time to get them stoned....and from my experience in my friend's basement it wasn't cruel, he would put them in the carrier box (not much bigger than that thing) and blow a few puffs his way then let it out... That story is different from this one, but regardless, what your buddy did was cruel too.
-
Yeah, if you're f***ed up and think torturing a poor kitten is funny. Limiting that poor guy's air supply and getting him high during development stages is as far from hilarious as it gets.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 01:11 PM) 76% on RT. That's not bad. Why? Why do I listen to my wife who picks the bad ones because she doesn't want me to make her see it!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 12:46 AM) Can't wait to go see Watchmen. I'm really excited about it. The new Terminator movie looks INCREDIBLE. Watchmen is getting pretty bad reviews.

Go... and tell your friends I let you live, that Mr. Eko let you live.

Ho hum... looks like Brian was way off.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 11:20 AM) In reality it would be easier to talk about who has regressed versus who has gotten better. I wondered about it at the time, but canning Savy, and hiring Q was an incredible move. I hate to toot my own horn... -
Was the 2008 NBA Draft rigged to favor Chicago?
Steve9347 replied to rangercal's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
The league would not risk everything... basically, the league, just to get a player on a team that was still selling out every game. -
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 07:24 AM) Interesting. I called comcast to ask them yesterday, and they did say I could buy one, though they said through Motorola's website (which doesn't have any for sale, instead redirecting you to your service provider.) The person I talked to said that I could buy one and hook it up. I wonder if I just talked to someone who has no idea what they are talking about??? I don't see the advantage of purchasing one. Once you re-coup the amount you pay, the technology will likely have changed to hold more data and receive better quality feeds. (no idea the price on these, but $8/month is over 3 years to make up $300) Just rent the thing, that way if it goes bad you just head to Comcast and get an exchange. I heart my HD DVR.

Campbell is a top 10 offensive defenseman in the game. The Hawks wanted to improve their powerplay. They have. Yes, a few years down the line this might become a pain in the ass... One thing we have not talked about around here is how well Cam Barker has played this year and especially of late. He almost seemed like a bust no more than a year ago, now he's one of the top young offensive D-men in the league. /jack
