It’s a pretty good mix of AL and NL, with a nice heapin’ helpin’ of Seattle Mariners thrown in for good measure. I’m pretty happy with my batting average as well, my least good (non-benched) player has a “meager” .267 average (Eric Byrnes). Should make for good times, as long as I keep up with my players… Football is easier, you only really have to make changes once or twice a week, this is going to require an almost-daily modification.
Well, it’s been 30 years since Star Wars: A New Hope was released in theaters and created a generation of geeks, myself included. According to TheForce.net the US Postal Service is working with Lucas Arts to commenorate the event with the geekiest mailboxes this side of Tatooine and I couldn’t be happier! Check it out below!
I’ve been looking to get this collection for over a year now and came this close to buying a hand-numbered limited-edition hardcover autographed by Jeff Smith himself. Since I’ve never read more than 2-3 pages of Bone, I didn’t have it in me to spend that kind of dough on something I’d no real experience with. Well, I’m about 150 pages into the book and now wish that I had bought the hardcover uber-edition. It’s really that good and worth the $40 cover price for the paperback edition.
I’m not a mathematician, and I have never claimed to be one. Why then, when someone was walking by me trying to remember the number 238 did my brain automatically try to remember the number as 2^3=8?
My brain is a funny, funny thing friends…
Mommy: Claire, do you want to watch Sesame Street?
Claire: No.
Mommy: Do you want to watch Maisy?
Claire: No.
Mommy: Do you want to watch Backyardigans?
Claire: No.
Daddy: Do you want to watch Battlestar Galactica?
Claire: Okay!
God, I love this daughter of mine!
Just click this link and revel in the glory of the Master Chief! God, I can’t wait until November 2007. Until then, I guess I’m going to have to download the trailer to my 360 and play the hell out of it.
While you’re drooling, if you have a XBOX Live Gold account, you can sign up for the beta as well.
**UPDATE 12/06/2006**
Looks like someone online liked the music for the Gears of War Trailer so much, they remixed the HALO 3 trailer with it. It’s pretty inspired! Check it out! The audio cues work surprisingly well.
Lance dressed as Walter Sobchak of The Big Lebowski fame for Halloween today and made this awesome name tag for himself.
So cool, I wish I’d thought of that…
I’m an unabashed Firefox fan, I have no qualms admitting that. Well sir, Firefox 2.0 was released today and you should really give it a try. I almost never use IE anymore unless I have to (certain sites I use for work-related stuff won’t work with Firefox, but 99.99% of sites do.)
Anyway, here’s a link to download it. Just do it. Have fun, join the converted.
Seriously. I picked up a used copy of Madden 2006 at GameStop yesterday for $9.95 and started playing the “career mode” where you create a player using DNA from “parents” and started a career with him. he’s a Fresno State grad (my “home team”) fullback and was drafted by the hated Cowboys. You can pick an agent for the player, make movie deals, and a bunch of other things too. It’s pretty sweet.
(You may be asking why I picked up Madden 2006 when 2007 is coming out next week. There are two reasons:
1. I’m trying to save money.
2. I plan on getting an Xbox 360 before Madden 2008 comes out and 2007 will be one of my first purchases.)
Now, how does Madden 2006 make a good way to diet?
When I’m in front of the TV, I snack. Not so much when I’m playing Madden. I’m so enthralled with the game and my progress (still in preseason, but it’s only been one night…) that I don’t even think to eat! This is how I’m going to “sell” Jen on alowing me to take over the TV…
Stephen take a licking, but keeps on ticking! Click here to view the glory!
