  • Game Overview: The Villains of Final Fantasy Week 6

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. With every Final Fantasy game there exists great (and not so great) teams of heroes bent on saving the world from some sort of evil force. While we could take a look at those heroes, […]

  • Grand Slam: End of a Drought

    So the 2008 World Series has finally come to a close. The last three innings were certainly tense and exciting, but at the end of the day the Phillies were just able to edge out the Rays 5-4, ending a Philadelphia drought of about twenty years of no major sports franchise winning a championship. Although […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: Overexposed, But Maybe Over Soon

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. The World Series and the onslaught of new video games has mostly prevented me from being able […]

  • Grand Slam: World Series History

    After a disappointing Game 4 loss, the Rays knew they had to make something happen in Game 5. Unfortunately, Kazmir did what Kazmir does and he managed to give up two runs in the first inning straight away to Shane Victorino (Kaz has given up 8 runs in the first inning this post season). So […]

  • Embedded Reporter: Retrospectives!

    Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. Gametrailers is at it again with not one, but two retrospectives this week. With Fallout 3 and Wrath of the Lich King coming out soon (Fallout 3 a lot sooner), they’ve put out their one part Fallout retrospective and part one of […]

  • Grand Slam: Game 3

    Game 2 went precisely how I wanted it to, which leaves today’s matchup, Garza vs Moyer, particularly big and important. It’ll probably be the coldest, temperature-wise, game the Rays have ever played, for one. There’s also that alarming statistic about dome-teams having a hard time beating non-dome teams in the postseason that needs to be […]

  • Grand Slam: World Series Game 1

    We’ve reached the home stretch for the baseball season, so those of you who get bored of reading about baseball should only have a few more days left. Game 1 did not go quite as well as I’d hoped, with the Rays losing to the Phillies 2-3 in a game that was well-pitched by both […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: It’s Here!

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Listening to the Baseball Today podcast, it becomes very apparent that half of this World Series matchup […]

  • Strange Bedfellows: Ire

    Hey Sarah Palin! I’m a real American. Don’t think for one second that there are multiple classes of Americans based on who does or doesn’t agree with you. This country was founded on the basis of free speech, intellectual discourse, and differing viewpoints and I guarantee you that I’m just as American as Joe Sixpack, […]
