Speaking of PS3's, I am finally deciding to put some time into my system. I own all three systems, but got my 40gb PS3 last, and only after I got a sweet deal on it after my boss's kid got sent to prison(don't ask!) I mainly got it for the backward compatibility and the blu-ray function. Always hated the controller and always loved Xbox Live. Fired up the Wii for the exclusives like Mario Kart, but never saw any PS3 exclusives that I needed to have. Up until now, my only game for the PS3 was Buzztime Trivia, but now with The Show, Uncharted and Mag, I am ready to commit. Couple of questions for the PS3 players here.... 1. First game I am getting from goozex is Little Big Planet. I have heard so many great things about it. As I get older, sometimes the less complex games appeal to me more and more. For those that have played it, any recommendations on unique levels to download? I am not even sure how that system works on that game. 2. I have heard of converters that allow you to play with a Xbox controller on the PS3. Any ideas on where to find that? 3. Looking at getting Mag soon. I do not have a headset to communicate with. Any thoughts on what people are using? Not a big fan of spending $50 to get another wireless headset again after buying one for Xbox.

All is well is PS3 world...its safe now to go back on and play. They fixed the issue, and now we have to wait and see what kind of damage reports come out of this........

Great timing on my teacher canceling class this afternoon....because the demo for MLB 2K10 is finally out today!! In the process of downloading it now, but here is a neat video comparing the graphics from 2k9 to this updated version. 2K9 vs 2K10

Just a little update....MLB 2K10 released a nine minute video of gameplay from this years game. Looks much better then last years version. I really like where they moved the camera when you are at bat, as it seems to be easier to tell the pitch type and location with that angle. Rumors are demos are coming anytime now.......

are we not excited about fantasy baseball 2010?
Viva La Grinch replied to flosses like fossas's topic in Off-Topic Forum
I would like another invite too, so I can defend my championship in the bf.net keeper league. Last year was my first year in the league, but had a blast in the league, and have been planning my keepers this offseason. I thought I had kept my account open, but must have deleted the league from my fantasy options in yahoo sometime during football season. -
With pitchers and catchers soon reporting, I figured that it was time to start this annual spring debate. Both games are coming out in a few weeks, and The Show gameplay trailer is extremely impressive. I don't recall the graphics looking that good in last years game. Love how the footage starts off with a J.J Hardy strikeout. MLB The Show Video I have always bought 2K10, since I prefer the Xbox controller and Live service. I knew that The Show had surpassed 2K10 in the last few years, but didn't want to invest in a headset, and finding new friends to play on the PS3. As somebody who might finally switch allegiances, any thoughts on the new games for this year? Seems like there were a bunch of PS3 fans on here last year when we discussed these games. Did any brewerfan leagues get set up, or any interest in a new one for this year? MLB2K10 Preview MLB 2K10 Trailer

So, I received an unexpected gift this Xmas, and got a Kindle for a gift. I know very little of the product, but as I read more about it, the more that I am intrigued. Just wondering if others have some first hand tips on using this? I love the fact that there are some free books on Amazon and wonder as well, if there are some other websites to look at for downloading books other then Amazon?

I just got done with the gamefly deal. Picked up Red Faction, Street Fighter IV, Ghostbusters and Resident Evil 5 for $14.99 or less. Figure the price of those four is less then a new game. For you baseball fans, 2k9 is $6.99 and MLB The Show is $9.99 if you need some summer fun while you are snowed in this week. List of Gamefly deals for all platforms

How is the ATT 6Mbps DSL quality? I noticed that they were running a stand alone special for it, and it would be half what I am paying for Charter internet. I am concerned since I do a bunch of online gaming, and don't want any drops.

Video of Mauer tipping pitches
Viva La Grinch replied to Patrick425's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Its too bad the Brewers don't have a catcher that can get to second base in order to steal the signs. -
A couple of more of my favorites that have not been mentioned. The Renshai Trilogy by Mickey Zucker Reichert. A sometimes very violent take on fantasy/mythology that has some nice plot twists in it. The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny. The book floats a bit between a modern time setting and a fantasy world. This series totally threw me a curve on what I was expecting in the books with a great whodunit storyline. Give it a few chapters and you will be hooked. The Complete Book of Swords by Fred Saberhagen. More of the traditional fantasy storyline, but nothing wrong with that. Follows a story of twelve swords each with a magical individual special power and what happens to each person that carries one. Great mixture of a long storyline with several short stories interacting throughout the series.

I have a lawn mower question myself. My pull string has locked on me. The plastic handle and string is wrapped at the motor and I can't budge it back an inch. Any ideas what it could be without tearing apart the motor?

I was out at the bars in Eau Claire last night, and ran into several people coming up for the series this weekend. With the mix of Brewer and Twins fans in the bar, after a few beers, the back and forth started. I thought one of the debates that I heard was pretty good. Pretend that contract issues wouldn't matter.....for the next three years would you rather have the combination on Fielder/Braun or Morneau/Mauer on your team? While the Brewer fan in me wanted to defend the twosome, it was tough to not like the idea of the catcher hole filled with a Mauer in Milwaukee. Just wondering what others thoughts on this are..........

I am so glad that I watched the PPV for free and did not pay to see this. When I have to endure five Kid Rock songs instead of watching a tag team match that was advertised, something is wrong. The Taker match was good, but also had many dead spots and will probably be blown up since it was the highlight of the PPV. The Orton match was a snoozer, and I actually read the newspaper during it. Seemed liked it just set up Backlash with that match. Throw in the rushed diva battle royal and MITB and the ho hum Cena win and this was a PPV that ranks with the bottom Wrestlemanias.

I have a slew of games coming from goozex this week....Saints Row 2, Orange Box, Blue Dragon, Tiger Woods 09...so I am going to be in the weeds for a bit. However I also have NHL 2k9 coming and have a few questions. I got the game since it was cheaper then NHL 09, even though it seems like all the reviews are in favor of 09. To those that have played either one, did I make a mistake? I don't follow hockey so realism is not so important. I just want arcade style hockey that I can pick up and play with friends. I really enjoyed the 3vs3 demo hockey that EA put out, so that is where my skill in hockey is at.

Lots of good deal this week, especially if you want to buy a game to flip it on Ebay or Goozex. My buddy and I picked up three copies of the Your in the Movies for the 360 for ten bucks with free shipping this morning on Amazon. It includes the camera, which makes it worth it for that alone. Figure, keep one for a fun drinking party game and flip the other for some new games. Other deals that I like this week is the $9.99 Aerosmith guitar hero game at Gamestop, and Wario Shake It for the Wii for $14.99 at Shopko.

Too late to look it up, but I gotta believe Henry's contract is up soon. I think this is the year when we finally get somebody winning MITB and not winning the cash in match. I am really hating MITB, as it has become more important the the intercontinental match these past few years. As for the winner of this match, I am really rooting for Christian. It makes the most sense, as they can get a fresh story with Edge out if it. I wonder though if Vince would give him the push so soon after his TNA run. TNA's ratings are up, and they might be finally viewed as competition for the the WWE.

Tony Bennett takes Virginia Basketball Job
Viva La Grinch replied to MadisonBrewerBlue's topic in Off-Topic Forum
The ACC is such a high scoring league....vegas will not like to put a over/under on his games in this league. -
My thought is that if you were drinking $2 long islands and you had eight of them.....I hope you tipped more then $3 for the night. At that price, it should be a buck a drink especially if they had to make them from scratch.

I did like the Rangers broadcast team last inning stick the old foot in the mouth. After commercial, it showed a hot blonde in the crowd. They showed her twice, after commenting that it must be a players wife, the analyst pipes up, "Oh, thats the Rangers team attorney!" All of a sudden silence in the booth....end of joke....change of subject.

Goozex does have both a PC and a Mac trading site.
-
With winter forcing me to play more video games, just wanted to plug a site that I have been using. Goozex is a video game trading site, but instead of getting ripped off at a gamestop giving you wholesale prices, you actually get credit for what the game is worth. Basically, its a video game trading site between people. You post what games you would like to trade, and post what games you would like to get. When somebody requests your game, you mail it out to them, and when they receive it, they will give you the feedback to get your credit. For instance, I mailed out Madden 09 and got $45 in credit today. Yesterday, I got Soul Caliber 4 for $40 in credit, so in a sense traded Madden for Soul Caliber and still have some credit left. All Goozex does is charge you $1 per trade that you receive. I have done a few trades the past few weeks, and not a problem. With game rentals approaching ten bucks, seems to be a cheaper way to play a ton of games at a smaller cost. There is a referal program that gives you one free trade and $5 in free credit for your first trade...not a plug but free is good. http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/homepage.asp

Bartending Scam in Milwaukee
Viva La Grinch replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Off-Topic Forum
As a bar manager, here is what we do in these type of situations. Its not very often that somebody disputes the tab, and if they seem pretty sober, I will often comp the difference knowing what our cost is. I never let a staff drink, so if its a staff versus patron situation, I will side with the staff nine times out of ten. As for a card being valid, almost always a card will go through. You might grab a few cards a year that are not valid, but that is the risk you take. If the bill is high, I will often run it for a certain amount during the course of the night, just to make sure it will go through. As for tabs being left, if its a small amount, I will let it slide. If its a larger amount, I always add 10% to any tab left to make it fair to the bartender. Very often, people come in and want to leave a tip, but once its run and processed, we can't run a tip unless we run the card again since it was settled the night before. -
If you have a Wii and have not picked up Super Smash Brothers for it, today is your lucky day. I took advantage of the Amazon deal of the day, and got a new copy for $25.99 shipped. You can't even find that used for that price. It has received great reviews, and is a great game for all ages. http://tinyurl.com/6zhy5d
