Red Baron

And you can just chalk one up for another injured Pats player.

Shut up. I have a PS2, Gamecube, N64, SNES emulator, and a whole fucking ton of Game Boys in their various incarnations. The N64 is the only console I play every day without fail - mainly because of the AKI wrestling games, but Perfect Dark, OOT, Mario 64, and the other classics still give me plenty of enjoyment. The level of artistry in these games was incredible, especially compared to the forced "coolness" and pitiful media tie-ins of so much of gaming today. You know why every platformer since has ripped off Mario 64? Because it was brilliant and revolutionary. Nobody knocks Pulp Fiction for the legions of cynical, abysmal pseudo-comic crime movies it inspired - it's considered a great film because people with brains in their skulls judge it by its own merits. What does "original" mean, anyway? At least three of the five games you listed are sequels or franchise titles. Mischief Makers was the game where you beat up kittens and shake them, right? Yeah, it sucked. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed, with the exceptions of the selections of games. A buddy of mine and myself recently bought an N64, four controllers and a shit load of games for nostalgic sakes. All the AKI wrestling games, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Diddy Kong Racing, GoldenEye and even some of the worst games, like Nagano Winter Olympics, and Cruisin USA and personal games like Mission Impossible and F1 World Grand Prix. Sure they aren't the best games period, but its for nostalgic sakes instead of ratings. You guys are all rating on how there are great games for a system, but thats the whole problem you have with most systems, and especially Sony's. You have great games and shit games, no middle ground. My top eight systems that I like are: 1.) SNES 2.) NES 3.) X-Box 4.) N64 5.) PS2 6.) PS1 7.) Gamecube 8.) Genesis There are a few problems with Sony that is a huge drawback. 1.) The Memory Card. Nothing is more worse than spending 60-150 dollars for memory cards, especially if you have lots of games. Sure the concept of saving your data and bringing it to your friends house is good, but when you need it for every single game, its horrible. Bad idea for the PS2. 2.) The Controller: Maybe if it was a bit bigger, it would be better, but the main problem is the Anolog sticks are too close to the D-Pad and the X and Square Button. Also the Anolog sticks are supersentive to the response, and the D-Pad just blows, sorry Playstation fans, its clunkiness towards most of the action games really degrades how great this system could be. 3.) The selection of games: Unless you like repeating games that don't really improve (Socom, Jax) or RPG, this system is completly useless to you. There maybe five to ten games on here that you want if you aren't an RPG fan, and thats stretching it. The problem with the PS2 game selection is either: a) That games are on the PS2 are going to be on the X-Box, and basically better for the X-Box. b) The selection from good to crap is a really high ratio, like 3:1...7:1 if you like RPG's. I've heard the online play for PS2 is really bad in comparison to the X-Box but I've never tried it out.

21-0 Wow the Eagles suck.

Man-O-Man did the Leafs get thumped or what. You can tell how far Ottawa is ahead from the rest of the conference.

I hope Fernandez starts

I'm wondering when College basketball starts, how many would be in the stands then, but I hope that many don't leave.

I go to my dad's tonight for dinner, and he's got a real sick selection of Blues music recently, which I want to get into. He lent me some bar band CD that was quite odd and hard too describe. The band consists of five members; guitarist, bassist, drummer, saxophone player and a bagpipe player. The music is like, country/funk/folklore combined, and is really all over the place.

Okay, I'm giving up on Cole. Sure he has eight points so far, but fuck man, he can be useless at times.

Exactly, that is what EA has done since 96. Half-ass for a few years, wait till next console, come out with something great and then repeat cycle. So expect 2007 to come out with something large from them.

If Eric Cole did not register a single point in this game, I'm gonna give up on him in my pool.

Ah, he's just copying Bruce Dickinson.

Kinda bummed out that there's only two ports for Controllers, Microsoft should have kept four.

I saw Spezza's goal, man did Souray make a good pilon or what, and nice coasting job for the other two Habs players on the ice when Spezza scored. Beauty goal though.

Maybe, you know Palffy is surrounded with great talent, something that the Kings really lacked in with the past few years. Gonchar was never a good defencive defencemen. Hell there isn't many more good defencive defencemen left in the league.

Few notes: Martin Brodeur is listed day-to-day after injuring his knee last night against the Lightning. Atlanta signed goaltender Steve Shields, to help the goaltending issues. I've allways liked Shields and is a good goalie when you need to be count on. (God damn Montreal, why didn't you get him instead!) Andrew Raycroft pulled his hamstring and is out for a week-10 days. Hannu Toivonen will start tonight for the B's against Toronto.

+ =

For some reason I thought it was going to be a hockey player. Depending who it is, it might get some ESPN coverage.

You'd think Brind'Amour would be a good leader, but he doesn't really provide it. He doesn't have that presense of a leader on the ice, unless he's a locker-room leader. Anyways here's tonights games Maple Leafs @ Bruins Islanders @ Rangers Panthers @ Flyers Canadiens @ Senators Thrashers @ Penguins Blackhawks @ Red Wings Canucks @Avalanche Flames @ Coyotes The games I highlighted in bold are the ones to watch. Ottawa vs Montreal is a game that is pivital for the first place in the North East division, and its gonna be an exciting game. Too bad no one in my area is going to carry it. Nucks vs Avs. Everyone is going to tune in to see Todd Bertuzzi getting boo'd at the Pepsi Centre tonight, first game that Vancouver has played in Colorado since the Steve Moore incident.

GWAR is playing on Halloween night.

How many control ports are there on the XBOX 360? By the first pic, there's only two.

Bouillon is the second coming of Breisbois. Great offensively, but really has to work on his role of defence.

What lacks in Carolina is a strong leadership. Stahl will be a leader, but they need that type of player to give them that extra push.

Habs beat Phili. Let me repeat myself. Habs beat Phili. Theodore played very well against the Flyers, and Mike Ribiero was the hero scoring two goals. Edmonton needs to find a second scorer. Ales Hemsky is underahcieving, and so is Peca and Pronger.

You mean Tabloid. Its a disgrace to all other papers that claim they are news worthy. Out of all the teams out there, Carolina stopped Ottawa. Never even thought of them doing so.
