Web Site Update: Pandora Tomorrow reviewed FINALLY



So I finally got around to writing a review for Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. I got tired of seeing "review coming soon" staring at me.

Hopefully I'll get a couple more reviews done soon and fill out the page.

RotK Extended Editions revealed!

DVD: The Return of the King: Special DVD Edition Revealed

This is going to be insanely awesome. But they don't really expect us to wait until December do they?

Quick Review: ESPN NFL 2k5

This game is definitely worth the $20 price tag.  I have always been a Madden guy up until now, but this game is a refreshing change of pace.  I am really enjoying it so far (I've only put in like 3 hours) and I am looking forward to starting my franchise once I get a little better hang of the defensive controls.  It's a little hard getting the Madden controls out of my system after all this time.  I'll add a more detailed review to my site soon.

I never thought the day would come.

I am going to buy ESPN NFL 2k5 tomorrow. I had always figured I would be a Madden lifer, but I have to admit that the cheap price ($15 @ Best Buy) along with the great reviews have intrigued me enough to use some of my soon-to-expire Best Buy Rewards Zone coupons on this game. I'm actually really looking forward to playing it.

Too many people under one roof?

So my parents and li'l bro are staying with us through the weekend. It's nice for the kids to have the Grandparents around. Now Ainsley has 3 more people to drag around the house on adventures. So for the trip has just amounted to me whooping my bro at NHL Hitz Pro and them finally watching Pirates of the Caribbean while I studied. One can only guess what Ainsley will have them doing today.

Someone who agrees with me finally!

FOXSports.com - Top 10 myths and lies in sports:

This writer puts together a brilliant argument as to why Wayne Gretzky is NOT the best hockey player of all time.  He backs it up pretty well too.  One could almost say that he prooves it.  Gotta love it.

Just what the doctor ordered!

ESPN NHL 2005 | EBgames.com

Can't argue with that price can you? Especially after I go to Best Buy and get it for $15 after the Gamer Gift Card coupon. Now if only all other games would be $20 at launch...

The Sport's Guy breaks down the Vengeance Scale

ESPN.com: Page 2 - Welcome to the Vengeance Scale

Just another quality piece of writing from Bill Simmons. If you have even a passing interest in sports you need to read his columns.

Geez, must be nice to be this guy...

Yahoo! News - Miner in Guinea Digs Up 182-Carat Gem

Maybe I should move to Guinea and put the kids to work :)

Madden NFL 2005 goes gold!

Madden NFL 2005 goes gold - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot

It's that time of year again... time for Fantasy Football drafts, training camps, and of course... NEW MADDEN!!!! I actually doubt I'll pick this 2005 up since I'm still getting plenty of enjoyment out of 2004. But you never know, the Collector's Edition is pretty appealing.

Making progress baby!

So I got Christa to play Culdcept with me the last 2 nights in a row.  I think she likes it even though I won both games.  I think after playing a couple more to get the hang of it, she'll be giving me a run for my money.  She's starting to get some pretty solid cards too, which will help her out big time.

What's up Chuck?

So our HOA had their annual summer pool party last night, and things didn't exactly go as planned. We were literally in the pool less than 5 minutes when some kid threw up in the pool and they emptied it. Needless to say we didn't hang around to get back in after a half hour since Christa said they would close the pool she used to work at for at least 24 hours when that would happen.

The greatest day in Spurs history?

ESPN.com - NBA - Spurs re-sign Ginobili, announce Barry addition

They bring back Manu and they add Brent Barry. There's nothing quite like having your favorite team sign your two favorite players. This is almost enough to get me to care about basketball. Almost...
