OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

You're rolling the dice that you will compare favorably.

If he uses his normal techniques she won't even remember it happened.

Lemme smell yo dick.

Careful, that's the closest thing to action I some of these guys have had lately.  You might be a little too popular friday night.

How much time did you have to spend on the pole to get 10 tips?

I don't know about BK, but for me it's about 20 minutes of communal dance for each
individual back room dance.  So it's about 3 hours, 20 minutes of dance time to see 10 tips.

I get a hell of a lot more than $10 for it, though.

It doesn't really work for a title that gets updated every year like MLB 2k.  

Please stop pretending like you know anything about real software projects.  It makes you sound like
a douche.

The problem is more that they just don't have the development time to make the changes necessary.

Boo!

The problem is that people will buy the games regardless and instead of spending money on more developers, they did
a market study and found out it was cheaper to just buy the exclusive license and create a captive audience.

Sports games, like real sports, are full of money/fan interest balances from the business side of things.

They know they just need to make a game good enough to get somewhat decent reviews and we'll buy it anyways.  So
will a million other people.

Once you graduate, get a real job, and perhaps finally know the feeling of the embrace of a woman or man, you'll realize
that pretty much all of life works that way.  Considering how you might finally manage to feel the embrace of a woman or
man, that process will probably involve the types of monetary negotiation and cost/value calculations I'm talking about.

Also, I'm pretty sure I read that they had a longer than 1 year development cycle on this year's version.

It's depressing, but this makes me wish I had MLB network.

They got rid of Joe Morgan and Jon Miller, though, so the game is instantly better than last year.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I entirely disagree.  Morgan and Miller are perfect for a video game because when they
tell the same asinine stories for 162 games, seem oblivious to player's current performance, and are rarely correct about
the action on the field then it's exactly like them in real life.

Alright you knuckleheads, take off your headsets, pull your pants up, finish your YooHoo, and haul your sorry asses up the stairs from Mom's Basement to mom's living room. Settle down in dad's recliner, put on your smoking jacket, light up a pipe, and do some book-learning. It's about WWII, comic books, and escape artists, and it is outstanding.

And if that isn't enough for you, there's some ghey stuff too. So read it, ya homos.

Me and my girlfriend she's canadian we met at niagara falls you wouldn't know her read this to each other on a road trip in 2004.  I thought it was fascinatingly written, with incredible detail and depth.  She thought it was boring and misogynistic.

Did you do the voices?

He made finger puppets of all the characters.

It's not cool to taunt anyone so crazy that even his fake girlfriend doesn't enjoy spending time with him.

I'm in uncharted territory here, only site: what do I buy a 4-month-old kid for Christmas?

I will hang up now and listen for your answer.

For my niece/nephew I always get them a little stuffed animal or some little thing and then put the money I would have spent on a target gift cards.  At that age, parents get way more clothes/toys/etc than the kid will ever use.  The parents can always use the target gift cards on diaper or formulas, or a winter coat or whatever the kid needs and will thank you for it.  Unless they are rich parents.  I don't know what to do then.

The problem with the AI is it's too inconsistent.  Far Cry 2 is this huge open world in Africa, so the possibilities for having a stealth approach to a mission are pretty awesome, but the AI somehow spots you from a few hundred yards away, so you never have a chance to sneak up on anyone. 

Entirely not true.  A player can sneak up on people.  I have done plenty of it.  You should be careful where you use the second person because the person reading might be capable of playing the game right.

Or if you do, after you get your first shot off, everyone knows where you are, no matter if you're hiding in the brush or behind a rock. 

They talk amongst themselves?  They have ears?  And eyes?  And object permanence?  What kind of shoddy AI is this?!?!?

Can't you be like a normal college student and go read Siddhartha and talk about how you're going to hike the Appellation trail to continue your road to self actualization? 

Your constant attempts to analyze the fun out of games is a total drag.  Isn't there mod team you can join and endlessly bag on other people's awesomeness and how your stuff will be so much better while your mod project languishes on for two years and never gets past version 0.04b and only 2 artist conceptual drawings of guns are created?

As much as I love Dawson, it's hard to make a case for him in my view.  I just think his knees turned too much of his career into a "what if"

Jim Rice was just Kent Hrbek on a better team, except Hrbek hit better late and close.  I don't think it's that significant of a stat, but Jim Rice people always claim some BS about how no one wanted to face him in clutch situations despite the numbers not bearing it out.  Seriously, dude has fewer HRs/AB then Kent fucking Hrbek, wasn't a good defensive player, and benefited from a great hitters park and a great lineup.

I think only Ricky should get any votes this year, he deserves every last one of them.

What's the word on installing games to your hard drive?  I've heard responses from all over the spectrum. 

I've only installed one game (FA3), but it kicks total ass across the board.  I would assume newer games and all games going forward will work smooth since they were tested with this feature so they will work well.

Old games are probably more hit or miss.

Thank baby fucking jesus that I checked to see if you thought it was ok for me to be sad about this.

I'll miss his attitude. 

I'll miss watching him pitch.

Baseball's appeal to me is more than just scoring more runs than the other team.

I'm not ignorant of the financial realities of the game, but that's not where I think the soul of the game resides.

There's few places I'd rather be than Wrigley on any given game day. 

It's not because Marmol's 167 ERA+ only cost $430k.

I'm not reading this thread because I'm back in season 3, but I would like to note I saw a guy in a full, perfect GreenMan costume over halloween and it was amazing.
