I’m progressing along at a slow but steady pace with Liberty Basic as I’m teaching myself programming here at home.  At work, I’m getting a little bit of an opportunity to put those skills into practice. I’m working on a database for one of our departments, and they wanted one field in a form to [...]

Good news from the inbox…  Gamefly has shipped Conflict: Denied Ops! I’ll be finishing up my FIFA Street 3 review this weekend, and Conflict should arrive just in time for me to jump right into it.  I’ll return FIFA Street, and then queue up MLB 2K8 – for the Wii (I tried to get the [...]

Late last week, Danny Ferry tried to make amends for the horrendous trade that sent his sorry butt to the Cavs for Ron Harper and two draft picks in the early 1990′s.  Although the Cavs really didn’t make up any ground salary-wise, I think they have a better roster as a result.  Basically, the Cavs [...]

There I was, tooling around some more in the FIFA Street 3 challenge mode, having a good time.   I decided to back out of the challenge to see what else is available.  Much to my chagrin, that was a problem!  The only other game modes are two types of head-to-head modes, Xbox Live, and a [...]

No, I still don’t have Conflict: Denied Ops from Gamefly… However, I finished the demo, and the more I played it, the more I liked it!  It’s just out-and-out fun switching between the two main characters while accomplishing mission objectives.  One is a sniper type, and the other carries the big guns.  There are strategic [...]

I received FIFA Street 3 for the 360 in the mail today from Gamefly.   Quite frankly, I wasn’t sure what to expect, because EA Big’s “street” series is real inconsistent from title to title over the various sports.  Quite honestly, I’m impressed. I spent an hour and a half or so, mostly in the “challenge” [...]

James Fudge, my former boss’s boss from Gameshark, now is affiliated with the new website Crispy Gamer.  They have a ton of great writers, and they do not accept advertising or other goodies from game publishers, so they’re basically free to write whatever they feel, and I don’t expect that it will just be lip [...]

I’m new to this Gamefly thing, and I’m still not quite sure how it works.  I signed up for a copy of Conflict: Denied Ops a couple of weeks ago – a week before it’s release.  I even returned one game to make sure I had an open slot on release day.  Lo and behold, [...]

One look at me and you’d know that I’m definitely not “GQ.”  However, I know when something looks gaudy.  I haven’t violated the dress code at work yet! What’s up with the two-tone uniforms the NBA All-Stars are wearing?  It looks like they are dressed up as 83 Oldsmobiles, or something!  The East All-Stars have white [...]

I love games as much as the next guy.  I often lament that I don’t have more time to play.  However, I never sacrifice my marital, parental, and vocational responsibilities just to game.  As tempting as that can be a times, it’s all about priorities.  I wouldn’t be setting a good example for my kids if [...]
