I put up a Daniel Floyd video early in this site’s life, so it always makes me happy to put his stuff up when he does something new. His argument in the video is pretty sound and it makes me wish I touched more on morality meters in my Mass Effect 2 review. Oh well.
[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“It has nothing to do with baseball, but I hope to get to a beach this weekend.”] [/caption] Yesterday’s scores are brought to you by the warm beach weather that I crave and the letter ‘M’. NPB Off MLB Atlanta Braves (2) at Washington Nationals (3). Scott Olsen throws a near no-hitter as the Nats win yet another series pushing them to a tie for second with their 15-13 record. ...
The Lions went and slaughtered my precious Golden Eagles, leaving them with something to think about over the next two off days. It was not a great day for my favorite baseball teams. 05 May NPB Rakuten Eagles (3) at Seibu Lions (19)! The Lions really dished out some punishment. Rakuten is still miraculously in fourth place with its 16-21-0 record, but that’s no real consolation since there’s a three-way tie for first 6.5 games up. ...
I hate 3D movies. I’m not fond of Tim Burton movies. Those two statements should tell you everything you need to know about my opinion of Alice in Wonderland. For those of you not satisfied with that, there are only two more points that I feel are worth mentioning. The first is that I did not leave the theater disappointed. However, this is only because I had no expectation that I would leave loving the movie. My second point is that Helena Bonham Carter was absolutely brilliant as the Red Queen ...
Think you know about the Skrulls? Me neither. Comic Vine, a sister site to Giant Bomb, has this great 3-Minute Expert series that teaches you all you need to know about a comic book topic in…3 minutes.
[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“You’ll notice that most of this crowd leaving Nationals Park roots for the Phillies.”] [/caption] Even if the Orioles maintain their 0.259 win percentage for the year and manage to lose over 110 games, they will have something that the Nationals cannot have this year: passionate, devoted fans. It’s not their fault, they’ve only been a team for five years, after all, but I notice this distinct lack of energy when I go to the games. Sure, the crowds have been relatively thin thanks to the weather, but last night was beautiful weather combined with a home win and the crowds didn’t seem to know what to do yet. ...
[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“I get to experience good weather at Nats Park for the first time since Opening Day above.”] [/caption] Who would have expected Liván Hernández to have a sub 1.00 ERA and one of the best records in baseball at this point in the season? Why do the Marlins seem to drop the first game of every series? Will either of these trends end? I hope one definitely does! ...
It’s been a while since I put up a good, old-fashioned Dwarf Fortress story, so I’ve got a link to a great DF story told through fantastic illustrations by nomad (tim).
[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“375” caption=“Dave’s trying to do the same pose as Slicky in the bottom right corner.”] [/caption] Rainout makeups, but an otherwise uneventful day for baseball. 3 May NPB Rakuten Eagles (5) at Seibu Lions (4). It brings me great joy to see my least favorite Pacific League team, the Lions, lose. Keep up the good work, Rakuten (16-19-0, 4th) Hiroshima Carp (3) at Yokohama BayStars (1). Another solid win for Hiroshima, who has had some problems with the BayStars this year. They’re now tied for fourth with Yokohama at 14-18-0, but that will change tomorrow since they play again. ...
