Video Games

Nothing wrong with that.
I miss the N64 hype and shit. Mario Rocks!!!

Only one I liked was DOOM for the computer!

Never did like that game. The movie was cool though.
So yeah, im almost done with the 2nd part of Bully. about 1/4 of the way done with the game. It will take me most of the summer to do I think.

Yeah, N64 is pretty cool. I think my favorite system ever is the NES (regular Nintendo). There's just so many great games - all 3 Super Mario Bros., etc. (sorry, that list wasn't much of a list but I got lazy fast).

Used to play that a lot with my neighbor when we were like 8(ish?). His dad came over once and saw it and got ever-so-pissed and that was the end of that. What's funny is my neighbor was always into violent video games after that while I quickly wasn't. The lesson is let your kids play whatever games they want at any age. Same goes with movies. If my 5 year old son/daughter wants to watch The Godfather or A Clockwork Orange that's fine by me.

What I found weird was I used to supply computer parts to the former Moundsville Penitentiary employees and one day I had to take parts into the Pen. I got to talk to the inmates in the electronics shop, and found that the inmates were allowed to have computers, and they used to network them together to play Doom! The guards (that I was friends with) felt Doom was a good game for the inmates to play since it let them take their anger and frustration out in the game, and not each other! People were worried when I went into there, since the prisoners were known for their murders and assults on outsiders, but they treated me as if I was a queen, because I was bringing computer parts that they desired!

The pen has since been closed due to the West Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the Penitentiary's tiny cells were cruel and unusual punishment.

This Prison now is a tourist attraction, and has been featured on Ghosthunters TV show! It has had so many deaths in there by the state and other inmates, that it is classed as a highly haunted place!

Do you simulate a lot of your games? I couldn't imagine playing all 162 games in one season; that will take too long for me. That's why I'm in the year 2040-something on my MVP 2005 computer game. I'd have an updated one but they stopped making baseball games for computers

I know you can do this for almost any electronic, but if any of you guys have an iPod touch you can load some NES games onto it :-) ...... if you don't have one... GET one!

NOOOOO! ..... when was I demoted to a "Oneonta Tiger"?....... I miss being a yankee!

When you become a Tiger, we can trade you back to the Yankees!

I simulate 4/5 of my games (but none in the playoffs). I play all of Lincecum's starts and skip everyone else's. I'm the Giants this season

For those interested, here's how the LDS worked out:

Tigers: 3 - Yankees: 1
Red Sox: 3 - Angels: 1 (The Angels finished at 81-81 in the regular season and won the division by 20+ games :haha:)

Cubs: 3 - Braves: 2
Giants: 3 - Astros: 1

Go Giants!

WHOO MLB 2K8


My third year in franchise, and I must say, I rock at this. I think I did a fantasy draft for the first year, but my roster is as follows, and it is the most dominant I have ever seen.

PITCHING ROTATION:
1. Created, Overall started at 92, worked up to 100
2. I picked Bondo up in the most recent offseason, he was a FA, overall 90.
3. Scott Kazmir, Overall 96
4. A.J. Burnett, Overall 87
5. Some Oliver kid, Overall 85

BULLPEN:
Long relievers: Josh Fogg, Jeff Weaver, Bartolo Colon

Midddle Relief: Scott Eyre, Scott Linebrink, Ryan Dempster

Setup: Jensen Lewis
Closer: Kerry Wood.

And for my Lineup:

CF: Alfonso Soriano
LF: Carlos Lee
3B: Alex Rodriguez
C: Created, started at 86, now at 100 through workouts.
2B: Dustin Pedroia, I got him at an 87 overall, and hes now randomly at 100.
SS: Edgar Renteria, Im dealing for a new one soon.
1B: Adam LaRoche
DH: Kelly Shoppach
RF: Cody Ross

through 68 games, I am 55-13, I simulate, play a few here or there.

My team rankings through 68 games:

ERA: 2nd
HR: 1st
SB: 1st
AVG: 4th

Back to my league, the LCS is over...

Red Sox: 4 - Tigers: 1
Giants: 4 - Cubs: 2

World Series:
Giants lose the first 2. Lincecum comes back on 2 days rest and allows 0 earned runs and the Giants now trail 2-1.

Psht, back to your league, whatever dude. Im dominant, I just sim the playoffs, I dont have time for that shit after simulating a whole season.
But yeah, Is your lineup as beasty as mine?

My lineup is the Giants lineup. I don't do fantasy drafts or anything like that.

Oh.
Why not? Makes it more enjoyable.
But every single time, Jonesy keeps retiring after the first season

Cat did you say you dont have an XBOX 360?
If so I highly recommend getting one. At this party last night, after it got dark and our outdoor activities were of no more use (I was 4-0 at cornhole lol) we went inside and tried to watch Tropic Thunder but Movie 6 wasnt working, so we just played Rockband and Call of Duty 3

I have an XBOX360....
and a PS3 and a Wii
Those complement my XBOX, PS2, and GameCube
which go nice with my PS1, N64, and Dreamcast
To go back a little further I also have a Super Nintendo, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and Atari 2600.

For handhelds I have a Nintendo DS, PSP, Gameboy Advance, and Gameboy Color.

I want a Sega Master System or Sega Saturn next.

Holy heck. That's a lot of things.

Do you have Rockband? Or Call of Duty?

Rockband it a yes, COD is a no. I'm not a big FPS fan. I have Resistance: Fall of Man for the PS3 and that wasn't too bad but that's about it for those. If they make a WW1 FPS I'll give it a shot since WW1 is cool, but I don't have much of a desire for WW2 games.

Gotcha.
I mean its still a cool game though, the war never matters to me

COD kind of reminds me of Madden/ sports games. It's just the same type of thing every version, just slight updates. I'm trying to cut back on buying sports games especially since they're often little more than a roster update.

I would buy all of the MLB games, and a couple Madden games when they come out.

themlb games are good but the thing i love the most is the hockey games!!!

Yeah, got to have hockey!

I haven't picked up one of those in a couple of years now. I'm probably about due.

Maybe.

I dont have any

Ice hockey for the Atari 2600 is a good one If you want it to be realistic don't pick that one though
