NHL 13 online is the best. I haven't even bothered with a season, a career, or anything. Playing against friends and randoms online yields such entertainment! Last night, I was the Hawks vs his Canucks. I went up 3-0 quickly and rode my stick around the ice in celebration like a jackass. (The goal celebration modifiers are hilarious). He came back and tied it with 13 seconds left in the game. I scored in OT with a Tazer backhander, and rode my stick around like a jackass.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Oct 25, 2012 -> 07:22 AM) Typical steve comment. Just shook my head when I had read that initially. The movie looks stupid.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 25, 2012 -> 06:52 AM) I got offered Vick and Ben Tate for Cutler and Rashad Jennings. I'm weak at QB (Cutler is my only QB right now) and I've got Gore, DMC, Stewart and Felix Jones at RB in addition to Jennings. I'd keep that one on the back-burn and see what you can get for Jennings and Cutler other than Vick. Whoever has RG3 is likely loaded?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 25, 2012 -> 05:50 AM) Bye week sucks. Josh Gordon or Kendall Wright? I had Kendall, but put him on waivers for Gordon (whose been hot) but Wright usually gets more receptions a game. (although Titans do have Britt too) Gordon's on fire, no reason not to roll with him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 24, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) There is absolutely no evidence at all he is a "horrible manager." Did he suck this past season? Yes. But so did many other facets of that team. Ozzie Guillen's record last six seasons - 475-496 (.489) Ozzie Guillen's teams' average payroll last six seasons - $113,000,000 /evidence

He had the worst OBP of any starting 2B who qualified for the batting title last year. He sucks.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 24, 2012 -> 10:23 AM) Eh, I am using it through my vizio app, so it's possible that it's terrible interface there. BUt, still not impressed by selection. OH MY GOD, ROMANCING THE STONE IS AVAILABLE!??! We were comparing it to the garbage that is Netflix. Here's the Prime (ie, included for free with Prime, which gives you free 2-day shipping on most products, and is CHEAPER than a year of Netflix stream-only) library. http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=aiv_piv_page?i...node=2676882011 There are definitely decent, newer movies on there. Then, you get to the tv shows!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) I do watch a lot of movies online illegally, but I also watch Netflix every night when I go to sleep because there are far too many episodes of Dirty Jobs to download, plus, I can control it all from my ps3 control, I don't have to hook up my laptop to the TV and get out of bed to go to the next show. You could do a USB, but yeah, then you're still transferring files and taking forever - the ease of use of a Prime or Netflix can't be matched by piracy.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) If you guys just started becoming pirates and used torrents none of this would even be a discussion. Morals doing people in once more. Oh goodness, I am pirate pro. However, it's certainly easier and more enjoyable to queue up Fringe in beautiful HD than throw it on a USB and put it in the back of my bluray player. Plus, I'm paying for Prime regardless, because the free shipping is teh sexx.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) What's holding you back, mr red blood? Get to work! I believe we are going to start trying in January. Until then, we just keep practicing!

My God. NBA 2K13 - how do they do it? How do they improve upon perfection? My alt-reality Bulls are going to be fun. I'm forcing Rose to miss the first half of the season, but will make moves around with the team keeping the core intact. I wish they could figure out a way to get the amnesty clause in the game so I could easily rid myself of Boozer.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 09:07 PM) Wow, booz is playing angry tonight. He's dunking on people, driving the lane, showing the handles...someone must've gotten him angry before the game if he played like this every night we wouldn't have to amnesty him Yeah, maybe the spray-paint hair that's missing was holding him down. Dude is a waste, but in a meaningless preseason game he gets fired up - wonderful.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 10:35 PM) If i said yes to that trade id have: Rivers/Rapistburger Peterson CJ0K Alfred Morris/Mcgahee Fitzgerald Denarius Moore Martellus Bennett Falcons D Legatron I get a feeling hes trying to sell high on CJ which is what i would do too in his position Sorry, I had you on the other side of that deal. How many RBs do you start? Peterson + Morris + McGahee is a really solid group as-is, and you cannot count or Rivers and the Rapist to consistently put up points like Brady will.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) I got offered Chris Johnson and Roethlisberger for Brady, yay or nay? Again, and forever, context, but on the surface, no. Running backs are at a premium.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 04:47 PM) ...and once again specs mean almost nothing, which is a point you seem to continue to miss. They're not "tricking" anybody with spec sheets, as the device will perform just fine/as advertised. Aside from the most rabid of tech aficionados, spec sheets mean NOTHING to the consumer, and even to those of us that actually understand them. The ONLY question you should have about a device is can it do what YOU need it to do? If the answer is yes, the specs are fine...it's that simple. You don't need a quad core ivy bridge, 8 gigs of ram and 3 terabytes of disk if all you're going to do is browse the web and read email. This same logic applies to consumer devices like iPads, Nexus Tablets, Samsung Tab's, etc. Take the iPad34 (just released today) for a perfect illustration of this. It's 2 times faster than the iPad3 "New iPad"...the only problem is, the new iPad wasn't slow, and NOTHING available for it runs slow. Software MIGHT begin to supersede it's ability in another 2 years...but right now, it doesn't matter that the A6X iPad3/New iPad exists...the spec bump is absolutely meaningless in terms of necessary horsepower for the foreseeable future. By the time software makes the iPad3 slow, the iPad6 will be out. As for my opinion on the mini iPad: Meh. Overpriced, low resolution garbage. It's targeted at a person that wants to browse the web, read email, and have Apples app store at their avail in a smaller form factor than the current line of iPad3's, etc. That's all it is. If it's not for you, don't buy it. Processors matter.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) The one I got is the same size I believe, but they have a larger version. I was tempted by the Nexus, but decided to go with Amazon's. And yea, either sell some of those tablets to buy another or don't buy more, otherwise it's a waste. If you want any tips and tricks, I've maxed out the performance of my wife's Kindle while keeping it actually a kindle fire. You can sideload any app on it you want out of the box vs being stuck to just what Amazon offers. I hacked my Nook Tablet, too, but that actually took hacking. The Fire is really easy to work with and sideload stuff - your first thing to put on it should be the Firefox browser, because it is awesome on those tablets.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) Youre a sick man. I LOL'd. It was a joke. I do, however, want to knock my wife up for the pregnancy sexxx. I guess that's just me being a red-blooded man, though!

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) They advertise more for their paid videos (shocker!1!), but yea, just click on Prime Instant Videos and voila!, all the free ones are there! ...and the library is huge and way newer than the crap on Netflix. They even have *gasp* Showtime programming.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) Picked up a Kindle Paperwhite today at lunch. Can't wait to go home and do some reading on it. Calibre + Google = freeboox

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) I haven't been interested in Assassin's Creed since the first one. But AC3 looks really f***ing good. I'm thinking about buying it. Games like that should just be Redbox'd. You can likely beat it in a week, costing yourself $10 instead of $60.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 03:28 PM) Good point. If he had a big boobed blonde with bottles of alcohol talking for the other side, he might be there forever. He'd never leave the negotiation table.

Best manager ever, never forget.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 03:09 PM) Wouldn't be shocked if we saw Bynum go into "I don't give a sh*t" mode this year. Why, because he has an afro that makes him lazy? He's being billed as the star of that team, I don't really see why that would make him care less.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 01:51 PM) So are these players who are going overseas not going to play in 12-13 even if the season DOES start, or is there a clause in their contract that allows them to come back here if the NHLPA and owners reach an agreement? Unless they have Forrest Gump as their agent, there will be an out clause. Some NBA players goofed that up last year.
