Roger Ebert’s rules for critics; ethically discussions usually are this entertaining, and proving once again that you don’t need to talk to say a lot. Even if you don’t know it’s a not-so-secretly a take down piece, it’s so insanely great. Respect the reader’s money. It is admirable that the DVD of “Cool Hand Luke” [...]
PS3 Releases for 10/20, with newer later date than usual. You know, I’d actually buy Monopoly – if it was a $5-10 PSN download and enough other people got it as well. The board game is $13 at Toys R Us; that must be some great HD graphics to be three times the cost. I [...]
I played the demo. It gave me a little bit to write about. Little Big Planet, originally scheduled to release 10/21 in the US and now pushed back a week until 10/28, is going to be Playstation3′s game of the year. There are other games that have been and will be very positively reviewed, but [...]
I’m not posting these over here any more, because I just don’t have a good reason, but I still can link to the rundown. Highlights: scary game effective scary, thugging game effectively thugging. FIFA ’09 being great may cause the PS3 market share to dramatically increase (by 1 console!) If Sony is only going to [...]
I’m very close to buying a PS3 Eye Toy ($30 used!) off of Amazon.com for the sole purpose of unlocking a trophy in Burnout Paradise. I mean, it’d save me the trouble of switing over my headset every time I want to use it and I could use it as a web cam too, and [...]
I despise you, Ken Rosenthal. Even if you’re right. The Yankees could move Cano. The Marlins could trade Dan Uggla. The free-agent class will include Orlando Hudson. But the Orioles’ Brian Roberts, a switch-hitting leadoff man, still would be a unique commodity in a crowded second-base market. A large number of teams could seek to [...]
Dodgers were clearly the better team. Congratulations. If you need me, I’ll be tuning out the world as much as possible for as long as possible. Thanks for trying, Derrek.
Mark DeRosa’s blog entry, tonight: You’ve got to let this flow over you and consume you for a couple hours. You have to. “Z” was pitching a great game, he’s feeling good, the double play gets turned, we go back into the dugout and the whole game is different. Our offense is able to relax [...]
Dodgers 2-0 POTG: the crowd. For all that’s been said about the game 1 fans and the reasons they were as quiet as they were, the people who showed up for this game decided things were going to change. They were going to cheer, they were going to cheer more, and they were going to [...]
