QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 27, 2008 -> 01:30 AM) I'd rank Crandall Head the #1 sophomore in the state, #2 would be Lenzelle Smith from Zion, Richmond #3 All the local sites have Richmond #1, and Head at two, with the exception of MidStateHoops who has the reverse. Smith is usually in the 5-7 range.

Has the RR winner been revealed yet? Usually we know weeks before hand. Don't spoil the name if it has been, I just want to know.

LOL, why did this get unpinned? It's one of the largest threads on ST.

QUOTE(joesaiditstrue @ Jan 26, 2008 -> 12:11 PM) The Ship (Source Mod, very fun). Think Spy vs. Spy for nintendo, but with more players, and on a Cruise Ship, in First-Person view Crysis Multiplayer (GREAT game, even better if you've got the machine to run it on high/very high settings in DirectX10 mode) Team Fortress 2 Frontlines: Fuel of War Beta (I love this game, I can't wait for it to come out. Made by the guy who created the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942) Unreal Tournament 3 (I'm terrible at it, but it's kinda fun when you can find someone who's around your own skill level to play against) The Ship is awesome. I picked up the trial version awhile back, I have to pick up the full version one of these days. TF2 is the worst game I've ever played. Thanks to Portal though(Best game of 2007 IMO), the Orange Box was worth the purchase. UT3 I have for PS3. It's hard to play after putting in so many hours into CoD4.

Where are all the SoxFest threads? You would not even know it's going on by the look of this board. Anyways, a recap of the fan question session: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...1,4648418.story Some interesting stuff: "They said the toughest battle in spring training will be at second base between Danny Richar, Alexei Ramirez, Pablo Ozuna and Juan Uribe." "Guillen didn't rule out Jerry Owens becoming a full-time center fielder if he handles left-handed pitchers as well as right-handers. 'That will be dictated in spring training,' said Guillen, who added Ozuna or Carlos Quentin could be in the lineup against tough left-handers." "As of now, Guillen said Josh Fields would get the nod at third base because he's uncertain about the health of Joe Crede, who is recuperating from lower back surgery in June." "Williams added that Contreras, who lost 17 games, "will be the key to the rotation. The kids will be fine.""

4chan is the equivalent of hell on the internet. And this is hardly new, they've been doing this for years.

So I'm guessing SeeItNext is for the AutoShow? I vaguely remember some similar commercials for leading up to the Super Bowl last year, and it ended up being for something like that.

1. London 2. Rome 3. Paris Worst: Probably LA.

I have to lock the door if I go into a room by myself.

Looks like Mayweather/DLH 2 is on.

In this new, wing world, anything is possible.

Brawl received just the 7th perfect score ever from the longest running gaming mag in the world. This game needs to get here like now.

Awesome logo.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl delayed yet again until March. That makes me one sad panda.

What happened?

Funny we should have this conversation today, actually. ESPN has announced plans to broadcast Major League Gaming, aka Smash Bros. Melee and Halo matches.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 09:51 PM) ALright. I can understand liking a game... but one of the best ever made? A fighting game starring nintendo celebrities? It might be a fun party game, but "best ever made" really isn't fair to games that produce a great storyline, incredible graphics, great sound... you get what I'm saying. I'll stop making fun of Super Smash Bros. now, obviously enough people like it that my judgement doesn't really matter. But one of the best games ever I shall not accept! Melee is one of the deepest games ever created. No one will argue that. Just because the orginal was simple fanfare of Nintendo celebrities does make that false. There's a reason it's the 2nd most popular competitive gaming game(Yes, people do do that), and that it's the only GCN game left in which reissues are still being ordered over 6 years after its release. As for you 2nd part, does a game really need a great storyline or incredible graphics to be considered among the best games ever made? Then how come so many critically accaimled games don't have either then? Take Mario and Zelda for example, the two best reviewed series ever. Neither even bothers with a story. They have pretty good graphics(Sometimes great as was the case for Mario 64). But the reason they are so liked aren't for either of those, but rather for their flawless gameplay. I would say Melee certainly qualifies. As for sound, I won't touch that. Brawl is already being heralded as having the best soundtrack ever. And who can argue? It simply takes the most memorable gaming songs, and has the original composer remix it into an orchestrated form. In the words from the Smash Dojo: "To have so many of these individuals providing music for a single work may very well be an historic event in the history of video-game music! It's almost unthinkable!"

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) Hmmm. Yes, if you are ten, it is. Haha. Seriously. But I'm not ten. It's an awesome game, one of the best ever made. Seriously.

Super Smash Bros Melee is quite possibly the best game ever made. I can't wait for Brawl so much that I have to read the daily updates with all the new characters being put in on smashbros.com.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) No, he didn't. He never said anything bad about them. His back was bothering him and apparently now it's better. I could have sworn I read the same story as Brian.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 02:16 AM) Yes, we've played a weak non-conference schedule--we still have UConn remaining at the end of the month. However, you would usually assume a non-conference slate with Illinois State, Xavier, Georgia Tech, Southern Illinois, and Kentucky would be fairly respectable. However, basically all of those teams are having horrid years beyond expecation. Oh yeah. I should have said that their resume is not for a lack of effort on Sampson's part.
