Re: LGB Fantasy Hockey

I've got a league going that needs a couple of people. It's been around for about 8 years with the same people each year, but the numbers have dwindled down in the last couple years. People do participate, but we're not overly competitive about it. Head-to-head. 7-points up for grabs each week. 13 r...

Re: Blue October

Their music evolved, I didn't evolve with it. I still enjoy listening to the old stuff, but I was pretty much done with Foiled. And yeah, I gave Approaching Normal a chance.

Re: Legends of Wrestlemania game

I played it last night. The game is ok. The controls are a little wonky as the've made some changes to the Smackdown control scheme that really only made things worse to me. The incessant use of quick time events is highly annoying. These events existed in Smackdown, but they're heavily relied upon ...

Re: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

I thought "Who Pooped The Bed?" was alright at first, but it didn't hold up so well for a second viewing. And FWIW, Rob McElhenney (Mac) was the only cast member with a writing credit on that one.

Re: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

The other 10% keep telling me the show is going downhill. So first off, I still love the show. But, I can see where the show did go downhill some this year. As I watched Season 4, I could tell something wasn't right with some of the episodes. As far as I know, Seasons 1 - 3 were completely written ...

Re: Police: Homicide at Steak 'N Shake in Affton

It appears the business had closed at midnight for extermination efforts for pest control and was scheduled to reopen this morning. The bug spraying had already been completed and the two victims were in the restaurant preparing to open the store when the crime occured.
Gee, wonder whodunit?

It's a long (Franking) season.

I'll start rejoicing if we're still sitting in first place in February or March.

Re: NHL 09 or NHL 2K9?

I've got them both for the Xbox 360. For a truer hockey experience and better gameplay, I think I prefer NHL 2k9. The players simply feel more like their real life counterparts. And more importantly, their roles seem more defined. And their individual skills ad more clearly represented. It feels lik...

Fantasy Hockey League

So, I've got a few extra spots open in my league and I'm looking for about 3 - 5 more teams. The league is head-to-head, seven points each week (4 offense, 3 goaltender points), 10 roster positions each night (2 C's, 2 LW's, 2 RW's, 3 D, 1 G) and a couple of bench and IR positions. The live draft is...

one of the things that i forgot that i liked about WMP is that when it is in full screen and you can adjust the volume, video position, etc... where as in vlc you have to un-fullscreen and then make the appropriate adjustments, which, i forgot how annoying this actually was till it got reverted bac...

Re: Xbox live-DSL or Cable?

JMHO, but cable is gonna be better for wired or wireless connections. More bandwidth & a direct connection coming into your house. Cable comes at a cost, and a frustration of dealing with the cable companies. Personally, I've got DSL and it is suitable for me because I'm not playing online games 24/...

Re: Official LGB NHL 09 team (Xbox 360)

Let's not even think of comparing the two. I played both demos and IMO '09 is clearly leaps and bounds above 2K9 in both quality of gameplay and overall presentation. I played both and EA's game definitely seemed like the better game. Although, as I mentioned before, 2k's demo was NOT polished at a...

Re: Official LGB NHL 09 team (Xbox 360)

I think we struck out here in the St. Louis area. The games are indeed out, but we ain't got 'em. I called around yesterday to almost every Best Buy/Target/Gamestop/Circuit City in the South County area. The Best Buy's and Gamestop's knew they were supposed to have them in on Tuesday but said that t...
