QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Aug 18, 2007 -> 06:50 PM) So I bought a PS3 yesterday along with Madden. I have to say Im not that happy with Madden this year. The controls are different and its missing some little features I liked like being able to create players after you start a dynasty and training camp drills before the season to improve your players attributes. Im sure it will grow on me once I get the hang of it though. My question is, Im looking to get another game and I was wondering what anybody with a PS3 thought would be a good game to buy. I generally only like sports titles but Im open to anything that is good. So far Im leaning towards Fight Night Round 3. Any other suggestions?

Um, wow?

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 18, 2007 -> 01:17 AM) Did anyone see/going to see 'King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters' this weekend? If you haven't heard of it, it's a documentary about two men who have opposite personalities trying to set the world record high score in the arcade game Donkey Kong. So far on rottentomatoes, there are 31 positive reviews to 1 negative review. I believe it's only a limited release right now. And I don't think Chicago was one of those cities.

I have no idea what my comp's specs are, but any chance it runs on a 4 year old computer that was pretty top of the line at the time?

I assume you mean the Air Show practice. Thunderbirds are this year I thought.

NO SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A JOKE THREAD, RIGHT?

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 08:15 PM) I read that he was a 1 star on Scout and 3 on Rivals. As you said, the specific rating doesn't matter much. The important point is that this is a player who had 1 offer (Auburn) from a major and a bunch of mid-major offers. Weber has been forced to go out of state to land even mid-major talent. You don't know that. I guess I'm in the minority on taking a chance on a kid who is 6'8 and can jump 42 inches. I mean, that's insane.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 05:18 PM) Wow. Weber brings in a 1 star recruit from Virginia and loses Suggs to a team without a scholarship for him. Impressive week's work. He's a three star? Not that the star rating matters much. I'd be willing to take any 6'8 kid with a 42 inch vertical, basketball skills or not.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 07:38 PM) Another Wii related question... I'm eventually going to buy four controllers (I have two right now). Is it crucial to buy the nun-chuck add-on along with all the other controllers? I would say so, yeah. I got 4 controllers, but only 2 nunchucks. It's pointless, because the multiplayer games I have require both. Not sure about multiplayer games like Mario Party or Warioware though. I don't have those. The only multiplayer game I have that is good with 4 Wiimotes is Bomberman '93 from the virtual console.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 05:53 AM) You're the only one who has posted about Super Mario Strikers -- is it worth buying? I generally only want games for the Wii that can be played with more than one person ala Mario Party and Super Smash. Mario Strikers sounds like it can be in that same category. It's one of the best games I've bought over the years, and I have quite the collection. Seriously, it's awesome. I usually don't buy games that are light on content, but I don't care about it with this one. Multiplayer can get insanely intense and the online play is even better.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 05:07 AM) Just got a PS3 with the 80 gig and Motorstorm so I could have Madden on HD. Its hard to judge on the first day because your just nto as used to the game paly so it always seems foreign. The graphics on MOtorstorm are pretty sweet though. Get Resistance. Or did it come with it?

Of Billy Madison fame.

It's fake but it would be frinken awesome.

So out of left field, Illinois picked up a recruit today...for the 07 class. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/recruitingi...s_illinois.html

DJ is taking the longest maternity leave ever taken for a male.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Aug 11, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) scott suggs may announce monday not a lot of encouraging smoke around this one for illinois fans. big surprise. And you get that vibe because...

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 09:50 PM) Damn... you people keep making Pods out to be an All-Star! (oh, wait a minute)... The only damn reason he was is because of us. He's not that good, and I can't see Podsednik being what makes the Cubs make the playoffs. Maybe not, but it wouldn't stop the media from trying to spin it that way.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 04:57 AM) So TNA is rumored to be interested in Rikishi, A-Train aka Prince Albert, Nidia, and Shelly "Ariel" Martinez. I wonder what other ex-WWE employees they'll get next. I had a man crush on A-Train.

QUOTE(Chet Lemon @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 04:50 AM) I do not think one blogger speaks for America. This story extends well beyond one blogger. Also, RE4 was set in Spain and featured you kicking the crap out of the Spanish. I don't remember any claims of racism there.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 07:38 PM) agreed. anyone talking about an imminent firing isn't clear with the way the entire college sports world works. Fixed. I still don't know what is so hard to understand about this, but you don't fire a guy over recruiting. Period. Until Weber loses somewhere below 20 games, maybe you can start the question is job. But anything until then is absolutely idiotic.

The 3rd pitch for Count was absolutely disgusting.
