2013 Video Game Thread
QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 24, 2013 -> 01:08 PM) I was just playing Crysis 3 and my PS3 got louder than ever before trying to play that game. I think one of the cut scenes nearly melted it. That sure sounds like hardware peaking to me. Is it a slim or and old fat PS3?

2012-2013 NBA thread
Posted this on RealGM I feel like one route the Bulls can take would be this; Trade the Bobcats Pick + Assets from Trading Deng for the Bobcats pick this year. You'll be able to get McLemore, Shabazz, or Oladipo. Then, use this years Bulls pick and draft a SF to backup Butler. Then use the 2nd Rounder on a backup big (Oriakhi? Young?) PG: Rose - Teague SG: McLemore/Shabazz/Oladipo - Hinrich SF: Butler - Saric/Nash PF: Boozer - Gibson C : Noah - Young/Oriakhi Amnesty Boozer after the year, then roll with this. PG: Rose - Teague SG: McLemore/Shabazz/Oladipo - Hinrich/2014 Draft Pick SF: Butler - Saric/Nash PF: Mirotic/Taj C : Noah - Young/Oriakhi It's banking a lot on luck and young players panning out, but it's one route to consider. It'll be in the heart of Rose's prime, so McLemore/Shabazz/Oladipo and Mirotic basically have to play like back-to-back Rookie of the Years.

Sox trade RP Jeff Soptic for 3B Conor Gillaspie
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 23, 2013 -> 08:13 AM) Clearly you're a fan because all you want to do is complain. You don't love the White Sox, you love whining, you love that the grass is greener throughout the neighborhood (though it's not). Just stop following the Sox for your sake and everyone else's. QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 23, 2013 -> 09:04 AM) Yeah, man, we're really gonna miss Soptic. We're really short on flame-throwing relievers but our 3b depth is fantastic.

2013 Video Game Thread
QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 21, 2013 -> 06:48 PM) Agree. I'm still not sure it looks like Chicago other than that, but I really don't care because of how good everything looks. The free running reminded me of AC3 with the programmed fluid movement to jump a fence or something. Same. It reminded me a LOT of Assassins Creed. The architecture was definitely Chicago though. The city looks familiar to me in game. I bet the landmarks will be in there.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 21, 2013 -> 02:58 AM) OMG Watchdogs. The s*** you can do and the fact that it's in Chicago. My only worry is that my expectations are way too high for it. If Watch Dogs lives up the potential, we're talking one of the best games ever. Go watch the PS4 demo they played. Holy f***. I also love The L in game. Adds such an odd dynamic to games that's familiar to Chicagoans.

I still don't feel like last gen peaked, but a new inFamous and Watch Dogs? Sign me up. If they announce Jak 4 or Kingdom Hearts 3...launch day buy. I do wish they just stayed with the Dualshock though. No need to reinvent the wheel.

2012-2013 NCAA Basketball thread
QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 12:04 PM) It is too bad that the NCAA doesn't have the NBA's penalties for flopping. Patric Young did one of the most embarrassing flops I've ever seen yesterday. He flew to the ground after a guard (I think Keion Bell) drove slightly by him.

2013-2014 NFL Thread
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 08:13 AM) Because Tebow has long been considered to be a good-hearted Christian who does nothing but work hard to make it as a QB both in college and the NFL. Supporting a hateful fear-mongerer while proving to be a s***ty backup QB for the team with the worst QB corps in the league, suddenly the light is not so bright and cheerful for Tebow. Bingo. And then this douchy commercial that is mostly untrue.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Feb 15, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) The only thing I didn't like about The Cave is you end up backtracking a lot, and you can interact with puzzles that you're not supposed to be on. Other than that it was pretty fun. I love Double Fine games. Has anyone played Brutal Legend? it's another one of their games coming to Steam soon. Brutal Legend was fantastic when I played it. If you like metal at all, play it. If you don't, it'll be less fun but still awesome.

NBA/NFL age limits
I just want to point out that someone mentioned that you either need a genius front office that makes bold moves and cited the Thunder and Spurs OR a superstar in the draft. Yes, the Spurs front office is run by geniuses, but, um, Tim Duncan is the reason they have 4 Championships. That was a luck into superstar draft. Same with OKC.

Ventura declines extension
QUOTE (southside_hitman @ Feb 14, 2013 -> 03:16 AM) "now with a full season of managing under his belt, he now sees himself possibly staying in the job longer than he originally thought--even if he’s not ready to sign on the dotted line. “I think it changes how I thought about it last year. I was just trying to get through three years of it, just to make sure I can concentrate on that and get it done the right way,” he said. “Some people think they’re going to do it for a long time and it doesn’t work out that way, so I’m just enjoying each season as it comes, to be prepared for it and enjoy it.” His approach to managing is a lot like playing: You don’t get to do it forever. “You could probably do it for most of your life,” Ventura said. “But I don’t see it happening forever.” Ventura declines extension I n my opinion, Ventura was not an exemplary Manager. Sometimes it looked like was not always happy to be here and was just going through the motions. His comment about just getting through the 3 year Contract has to be disturbing to Jerry and to management, and certainly is not something fans wanted to hear, even though he tried to explain why he declined the extension and left the door open. I would offer Ventura a buy-out for his third year and look for another Manager for 2014. I think AJ would make a great White Sox Manager. He has a high baseball I.Q. , he is a proven winner, part of our 2005 W.S., and is a guy who would bring excitement to the park with him every day. Can anyone say that about Ventura? I just don't see why the Sox offered him an extension in the first place. They should wait and see what he does this season before making any further commitment to him.
