That was a terrible presentation by MS. They opened with a bang with Halo 4 and Splinter Cell and then it was all downhill from there. The non-gaming stuff just did not interest me at all. COD BlackOps 2 seems kind of cookie cutter boring. That was probably Microsoft's weakest E3 presentation ever.

You guys should go here to celebrate this "holiday":

LOL, stay classy Phoenix fans. Dustin Brown sends you all a big F U.  

I'd be pretty pissed too if he just badly injured one of the players on my team with a wreckless hit.

Congrats to the Kings, they were clearly the much better team. I'm still baffled how Phoenix even got that far.

Being upset is one thing, which is well within their rights considering the borderline nature of the hit. It's another thing to bombard the ice with thrown objects which put all the players, coaches and refs at danger.

Totally agree with your assessment. It was the weakest season in quite some time. Although Colton was a mean spirited jerk the entire time, the show really went into the toilet once he got airlifted out. Once it got down to the 5 women, I really did not care who won the season, although the person who did certainly deserved it.

To me, the producers completely blew the whole "one world" concept by separating the contestants into men vs. women. I think if the two tribes were mixed sexes, things would have been less predictable and maybe more compelling post-merge.

Next season looks interesting. Will take place in the Philippines, with three tribes, including three contestants from past seasons who exited the game due to medical reasons, which pretty much opens up the possibility of Colton and his crazy brand of nastiness stressing everyone out.

Somewhere, Tupac is getting ready to come back to life and bust a cap in her ass, yo.

Ah but the million dollar question: did you try the cosmically awful dance game?

Sutter didn't have nearly the kind of player talent in SJ that he does in LA. He coached pretty much the same way in his time in SJ, maybe a bit more of a hard ass than now. His last season coaching a veteran Sharks team, the players pretty much tuned him out.

Sucker Punch - LOVED it. Everyone I know HATES it. Go figure.

I didn't really enjoy it but if you pinned me to the wall and forced me to tell you why, I couldn't.  It has everything I should like in a film:  an incredibly hot leading lady, mechs, zombie nazis, giant samurais and Zack Snyder channeling 300 yet again...but it fails for some reason I can't fathom.     It's like a recipe for something you really, really like...but one crucial ingredient is left out and you can't re  member what it was.

This movie did indeed suck. I have tried to watch it at least 4 times and I just can't get through it. The movie to me seems like it was written by a horny 15 year old boy and then sent directly to the director and he did his best not to change anything. The main character is all but silent throughout the entire movie and has a blank facial expression most of the time, so it's hard to relate to her other than feeling sorry for her. On top of that, the action was WAY over the top, but not in a good way that at least made a minimal amount of sense. The whole time she's in lala fighting land I'm asking myself, WTF does this have to do with dancing, and in reality is she flipping out all over the room. But I could never get the answer because I couldn't hang in there until the end of the movie and I really didn't care to find out.

LOL, see? I rest my case.

I hear Ron Wilson is available!   

I got four:

Sucker Punch - LOVED it. Everyone I know HATES it. Go figure.
Cutthroat Island - Before Johnny Depp's CGI Pirates, this was hands down the best pirate movie out there.
Hudson Hawk - Mentioned here before, but as dumb as it is, I think it's a great movie. The little dog catching the ball shot out of a cannon still cracks me up.
Bitch Slap - A pulp fiction/grindhouse kind of movie with no redeeming value other than hot babes with big breasts.

4-0 after 1. Gellar I'm not listening to your low scoring analysis again.

I am quite entertained by how the Kings are having their way with the Blues so far.

Of course, the tragedy is that this series really shows how gutless the Sharks were in the prior series.

So, Marvel vs Capcom 2 is out today for $2.99. Anyone biting? I love the game....but I worry about the controls. Still, for $2.99 it can't be that bad.

Downloaded it to my iPad2 and gave it a quick try. The controls feel similar to the various Street Fighter games on iPhone/iPad. The touch controls are never going to give the satisfaction of a regular button/pad controller, but it's still very playable. There is an easy assisted mode where the the special moves are executed by single button presses. While MvC2 is a universal app, on the iPad the graphics are still look like a pixel doubled iPhone game. Haven't dug deeper into all the various modes yet but it seems to be a faithful port of the game.

The better part of the video was the 'Raffi's Greatest Illegal Hits' show at the end.  You can't argue with any amount of suspension after that shit show.

That greatest hits montage is pretty revealing. In every case, Torres either launches himself off his feet, goes for the head, or both. The ridiculous thing is that the video only shows the hits he was disciplined for. He's had. countless other dirty/questionable hits that he got away with, like the hit to head in the playoffs a while ago when Milan Michalek was on the Sharks.

That's almost a carbon copy description of the Sharks. We'll be joining you very soon. 

LOL at Canadian estrogen rage.

God dammit the Sharks fucking suck.

Are you surprised though? They look exactly like the same slow, unskilled, poorly schemed team that coughed and wheezed their way into the playoffs. Plus they had to play the one team that practically owned them during the season. The window of opportunity with the current roster has finally closed, in my opinion. It's time to start an overhaul. I'd even argue that management needs to be cleaned out because there isn't much in the minors to give us hope. There isn't enough emphasis organizationally on speed and offensive skills. Doug Wilson needs to reinvent the team in a hurry, assuming ownership thinks they need to start fresh at the top.

[I was fully expecting 2-3 games for Neal and suspension for the remainder of the playoffs for Asham...very shocked at how lenient the league was, (considering how hard they came down on Cooke last year).]

I am curious what the ratings have been like so far for the playoffs.  I know the Pitt/Philly series has been getting pretty good numbers.

I was fully expecting 2-3 games for Neal and suspension for the remainder of the playoffs for Asham...very shocked at how lenient the league was, (considering how hard they came down on Cooke last year).

One game for Neal. Four games for Asham. Really, the league is just making it up as they go along. Can't wait to see what Torres gets. He's been suspended "indefinitely" until his hearing on Friday. This whole notion that the length of suspension depends in large part on the magnitude of the injury incurred is completely insane. Weber purposely drives a guy's head into the glass and only gets a $2500 fine because the victim didn't end up with a broken bone or a concussion? It's madness. Because Hossa, despite being carried off on a stretcher, was able to leave the hospital on his own, I bet Torres gets 5 or 6 games off. Justice indeed.

And LOL at Henrik's sad face. It'll be the same face the entire city of Vancouver will be making soon.

Very promising. I hated Snakes and Arrows for how boring and forgetful it was, like the band was just going through the motions. The new song at least has some personality to it.

I think Torres is done for the playoffs, especially since Shanahan seems to favor star players. That hit was just brutal.

I'm sure the league office will find some way to screw it up. Torres should be blacklisted from the NHL for the rest of his career. The guys is a dirty scumbag with a long history of questionable hits.

This year's playoffs have been the most brutal carnage filled playoffs I can remember. It's getting to the point where the excitement of the games is being compromised by all the thuggery going on.

Sharks are done. Stick a fork in them.

At least I can enjoy the Kings bringing the hurt down on the Canucks.

I wonder if those stupid Canuck fans dressed in green bodysuits will show up at Staples. If they do, I hope they get the shit kicked out of them. Figuratively, of course.

Memo to Alex Edler:

No look drop passes in your own zone are NEVER a good idea. Especially when the forechecker is BEHIND you. LOL

As a Sharks fan, I would normally never cheer for the Kings, but in this case, I'll gladly make an exception. The Kings are totally outworking the Canucks.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/great-moments-hating-canucks-canada-national-pastime-161311654.html

I'll always love the "smell my finger" move by Joe Thornton on Sedin. So awesome.

Oh, and LOL at the Canucks tonight.

Heading to the Giants opening day today...hope the rain stays away!

Must be having a good time. Matt Cain pitches a perfect game through six innings only to give up one hit all game to the pitcher of all people and the Giants stomp the Pirates 5-0. Guess that massive contract for Cain is worth it.

<snicker>

Many Bothans died ....

From laughter.

No idea if this is any good, but someone made a free remake of the old school space sim Elite.

Is PS1 game functionality something that was even announced for the Vita?

A completely stupid play by Clowe, but man I was laughing so hard at his answer about the play in the post-game interviews:

“I have no idea what you guys are talking about,” Clowe said. “I’ll have to see the video or something. Someone show me the video.”

Well, we can be sure if Clowe isn't punished that the Sharks winning benefits the Wings and/or hurts the Blues in some way.

VRWC

LOL, no punishment will be handed out. Not even a fine. The league office says the poke check from the bench would normally just be a 2 minute minor penalty, and since none of the refs saw it, it's nothing more than a missed call. Wow, NHL refs screwing up a penalty call?? Who would have thought that?

That was truly a bizarre game. Kings were all over the Sharks in the first period yet could only manage a 1-1 tie. Then the Kings had a two goal lead because the Sharks couldn't kill off penalties if their lives depended on it. This game had everything:

-Clowe's bizarre interference from the bench which I have never seen in all my years of watching hockey.
-TWO Gordie Howe hat tricks by the Sharks- Clowe and Thornton (there is something seriously wrong if Joe freaking Thornton gets a GH hat trick)
-Thornton schooling Doughty in a fight.
-and of course the game had to end in a shootout

Kings had a golden opportunity to lock up the Pacific and just could not match up with the Sharks will. The Sharks top players all showed up and dug real deep to gut out the two points.

Now we need the Coyotes to lose Friday night in order to set up the Saturday game in San Jose for the Pacific division title. Winner gets either Chicago or Detroit while the loser gets either Vancouver or St. Louis in the playoffs. It's gonna be epic.

The free gift was announced, which turns out to be Fallout.

What a letdown...

I used to work at TiVo up until the middle of 2007. Went to Netflix when the Roku player was initially a Netflix developed device. We were spun out to Roku in early 2008.

Of course, after I finally break down and buy a Roku.  Oh well, I'm sure the Roku uses less power.

My company thanks you for that purchase.  

Avernum Escape from the Pit HD just hit ipad today. I did not get a chance to play this on PC so it was an instabuy.

Whoa, I had no idea this was even coming to the iPad. It's $9.99 though. CANNOT...RESIST...TEMPTATION...ARGH!

I wonder if ANYONE involved with the making of this game ever thought that the Dance Central ripoff part was one colossal stupid joke. If they actually thought it would be a "fun" and "cool" component of the game, they need to be beaten.

That was a fitting end to one of the most disgusting human beings ever seen on TV.

Unfortunately, Alicia appears to have inherited the bitch role now, although with far less leverage than Colton. I laughed when she expected to get his immunity idol and didn't.

Christina is the most sympathetic contestant left, but she does not seem to be in a good situation at all even after the merge. If she doesn't get voted out right away, I think she might end up being a swing vote between competing alliances.

The old crazy guy (cannot remember his name--wow, ironic) is incredibly annoying. The previews for next week make it seem like he is intent on burning all bridges which is fine by me. The sooner he leaves the better.

Yay Kings.  LOL Sharks.

Sad panda. Gonna miss the playoffs.

I look forward to the upcoming house cleaning.

As hard as it has been to watch season 2, with all the breakdowns in logic, character development and the fact that they spent the whole time sitting around on the farm drinking lemonade, the two big reveals for next season make it worth it. Looking forward to season 3 when the really crazy stuff happens!

Wow, in the end he went for the money. Shocker!
