PrintGrowing old is never a ball of fun, but when you live long enough to retire having survived a century that included a Great Depression, two World Wars, born in an era of horse drawn transportation and steam powered trains to witness men land on the moon, to have your local utility turn you into a popsicle must be the final indignity. Cheers!
How many friends you have may be controlled by your genes. And there's a genetic tendency to introduce friends to each other! Happy times. Next thing you know they'll try and tell me my taste in beer is controlled by my genes, but that's just crazy talk.
And Tenacious D everyone! Just 'cause this isn't the greatest OT post in the world, it's just a tribute. My keyboard ate that other one.

MLB Front Office Manager ft. Billy Beane released today!
Picking up a copy on the way home. Anyone know of stores with it on sale/did Circuit City get any shipments?
someone let me know if this is any good. If it is, I'll totally buy it (assuming it will run on VM ware for mac)
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I wanted to buy that today but can't seem to find a digital download of it.
And the odds of a game like this ever being released in the UK are about the same as the M’s trading for Pujol.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

Do region codes affect this? or is that just dvd's?
by seattlesundevil on Jan 27, 2009 10:23 AM PST up reply actions
Yes and No.
Depends on the game.
Some more assholish developers make sure your computer is set to [US] keyboard layouts or the [US] region and language in your Windows settings.
But there isn’t a region code like DVDs have, no.

Not related to the game,
but I went to Circuit City last night and stocked up on Microsoft points. All the signs say 10% off, but they ring up at 30% off. I have confirmed this in San Diego, Spokane and the Internet, so you know it’s good.
So if you ever plan on buying stuff on Xbox Live (new GTA/Fallout 3 chapters, etc.), it’s tough to turn down the opportunity to buy $20 for $14.
Holy shit, really?
Damn, I know where I’m going for lunch.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I just don't think they made a special sign for it,
but yeah, by most accounts, all video game accessories are 30% off. Games are still just 10% off, though.
Any wireless headsets for Xbox?

Oh well, I didn’t really have the cash to spend right now anyway. I’ll just find one at Stupid Prices after I get my tax return.

There are a lot in Washington. I saw the one in Spanaway, I guess.
They’re changing their name, unfortunately.

Stupid Prices was an awesome name.

That's about how mine would have looked.

Tonight here (NJ) we're supposed to be getting an ICE&SNOWPOCALYPSE
Everybody in the local newsmedia: HOLY SHIT RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
Everyone not employed as a weatherman or anchor: Oh, another one?
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
It'll snow 2" (they call for 5), put a 1/2" of ice down (call for 2),
which will be promptly scraped and salted by a competent NJ roads crew (in NJ they don’t fuck around about their roads), and within 2 hours of the ice part of the storm everything will be practically dry, except for the 5 driveways I have to shovel.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
Let me reiterate.

Actually, there is a band called Jump Little Children that toured a lot with them that is great. My wife went to the College of Charleston with them. These days the lead singer Jay Clifford has gone solo, putting out an incredible album last year. But no Hootie for me.

And yet I can be in the Seattle airport for 5 minutes and run into a guy I know.
From 15 years ago, for about 2 months. And he’ll recognize you from the side profile and yell across the terminal like a weirdo. How’s that happen?

Please use your shift keys here.
And to answer your question, that depends on a lot of things.
If you move your screen like when you open and close your laptop, does the waviness get better/worse, or stay the same?
Does it do it before you get into windows, or in the BIOS screen as well?
If you plug another monitor into it, does that monitor have it as well?

Which one goes first depends a lot on use (open and close a lot vs. leaving it open and on all the time).
Be prepared to swap your screen, though.

Eh, wasn't so much a suspicion. Just kinda sorta remembered something I read someplace this one time.
There were some disconnected references floating around, I usually write those off to hidden threads/comments. Plus Graham cracked a one liner about messing with the name (Fogel/Fagel, something like that). So there was that.

If you like the Simpsons you'll like Futurama
it’s Matt Groening, and a bunch of overlapping writers. Great stuff.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I second this.
Watch it if you get the chance. To me it’s better than Simpsons or Family Guy.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
It's a hilarious show that has some really poignant moments.
Remember the episode where Fry finds his stone-preserved puppy?
That was probably one of the "deepest" episodes they had.
It was sad as hell at the end when the dog is sitting there for years.

Absolutely.
Drop something else, and watch Futurama.

The first movie was mediocre.
The second one was decent. The third one finally captured the TV series’ magic.
I missed one somewhere then.
There’s three?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
"Bender's Big Score"
and what are the other two?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Beast with a Billion Backs
and Bender’s Game
the 'Beast" one is the "love the tentacle" movie, correct?
I might not have seen Bender’s Game. What was that one about?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
You're correct about Beast
Bender’s Game revolves around Bender going crazy because he decided to get into Dungeons and Dragons.
I haven't seen that one yet.
I was kind of thrown off by the first two, because they focused on “non-regular” characters so much. I’ll have to check out Bender’s Game and see if it’s any better.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Sounds like it would be a parody of Ender's game.

My position on this entire issue:
I think it’s awesome to have standards here and I think it’s important to make sure that new users are made aware of those standards and are asked to stick to them.
On the other hand, I am really really tired of every typo that’s made being corrected, every minor and obscure break from grammatical convention being cause to rake someone over the coals and the insistence that everyone speak English as they would when writing for an academic audience at all times.
I understand that people have different ideas about what constitutes acceptable in terms of written (and verbal) communication, and I think it’s fine to expect people to adhere to a certain minimum standard. With that being said, I wish that people that hold themselves to higher standards would understand that a) we all slip up from time to time be it in the form of typos or grammatical errors and b) for some of us there is a divide between the way we express ourselves in a formal setting and the way we express ourselves in a more casual setting.
I appreciate the fact that the standards here are designed to raise the level of discourse above most places on the internet, and it’s one of the things that I think makes Lookout Landing a really awesome community, but I think that we sometimes forget that this isn’t a classroom, we’re not writing for an academic audience and that there’s no need to go overboard on semantics and grammar fascism.
(And for the record, this is in no way directed at you, Faux. This is something that’s been bugging me for quite awhile and although this subthread is only mildly related to what I’m talking about it got me to thinking about it.)
by Aaron Campeau on Jan 27, 2009 1:34 PM PST up reply actions
Actually I did read it, and feel a lot the same way.
The first thing I did before I even googled “shift key” was look at the history, and saw that the down the recent comments list was scattered with capital free comments. It’s not like anyone here jumps on much of anything anymore, me included. That’s largely because we went through it with our current batch, and now everyone’s up to speed.
On the other side, I feel it’s best to make a stand on a couple people every once in a while. You’ll notice the few comments abender has made since this thread have all been capitalized properly. It saves a lot of trouble down the road, especially in the runup to spring training when we will undoubtedly get some new users.
Long story short, when you or JI or even like a waldo rojas (example of a not-so-regular poster) skip a couple capitals or drop a smiley, I’m fine with that. It’s when it looks like a trend that I’m willing to take some egg on my face to start this discussion again.

Gamespot’s hands-on. I’m sure I’ll be disappointed, but whatever, I’m still excited for now.
Wow.
In addition to the Inside Edge player rating, MLB 2K9 will use sabermetrics, the highly specialized stats made famous by baseball analyst Bill James. These stats are essentially different ways of analyzing players and include value over replacement player, stolen base runs, game scores (average game score for a given pitcher), and more.
This must be why Joe Morgan is no longer involved with the game.

Speaking of stats,
You can do all the VORP and Win Shares you want and I don’t care if it’s poorly executed, but please just put the hitter’s slash stats on the screen when he comes to the plate. That’s all I ask.
Me, too. And I was one of the few who found 2K8 to be playable.
I had a lot of faith in Brinkman after the MVP turnaround, so I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt. If Kush were doing the game again this year, I would have zero faith, but Visual Concepts has a good track record, so I’m cautiously optimistic. I really liked the pitching system in 2K8. If they can shore up the hitting and fielding, this can still be a good game. It’s hard to bet on that, though.
I bought a transfer kit for my PS2 so I could get updated rosters for MVP 05 if all else fails. I just can’t bring myself to buy a PS3 yet. Not for one game.
`
Sadly, it appeared that only the standard batter/pitcher camera angle was able to hold a smooth 60 frames per second, with pans of the field during a hit and shots of the crowd sending the framerate plunging.
God dammit 2K, this is the one thing you absolutely MUST fix.
They had one thing to fix and it was the framerate issue.
Forget all of the new stats, visuals, and commentary team. The one thing 2K needed to focus on and fix was the stuttering gameplay.
If the build is 90% done, I don’t have a lot of faith they’re going to get it fixed properly. If that franchise is ever going to get off the ground, they’re going to have to nuke their engine and start over.
That's what I was hoping was going to happen this year with Visual Concepts at the helm.
That was probably unrealistic, though, as I don’t think VC got a full year to develop this game.
I still can't believe how mad MLB 2K8 made me.
I’ve played through a lot of shitty video games, but MLB 2K8 was a whole new level of awful. That’s the first game I’ve given up on after just one play-through.
I will say that the patch improved the frame rate quite a bit.
Not that it excuses the shitty product the put on store shelves, but the game became playable.
I went and bought a copy of MLB The Show 08 before the patch came out.
Even after the patch The Show was dramatically better.
As a new PS3 owner I'm extremely excited for 09: The Show.
Had 08 for PS2 last year and was really enjoying it untill my ROY campaign was cut short by Tampa sending me down to AAA in September and then not offering me a contract the next year.
Did you punch the GM or something?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Yeah I have no idea.
Had this catcher kid start at AA at the age of 18. I usually don’t like to play sports games unrealistically but for the fun of it I just wanted to shred the league and see how many awards I could rack up. I think my age 19 season i was OPSing over 1.000 in AAA and got called up to the majors in about late May because of a Carlos Pena injury (yeah don’t know how that roster massaging worked out). Ended up racking up about 30 HRs the rest of the season and was comiing close to 100 RBIs. Was blowing out the pack for ROTY.
Then early Sept. Pena came back and I got bumped back to AAA. Their season was over so I got stuck waiting for the next year. Anyway I played it I couldn’t get better than a Spring training invite. I played through Spring training and then didn’t get put on a ny roster, so the career was affectively over. It pissed me off. Tryed restarting from an earlier save but couldn’t change the outcome. Just a random game quirk I guess. I had a 22 year old SS come up with realistic stats and didnt have a problem. Either way the PS3 version looks amazing.
If you don't play to the goals they set out for you you can't advance.
by Aaron Campeau on Jan 27, 2009 2:01 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah.
The way I played it was to initially just do enough to stay in AA for awhile to rack up ABs and inflate the stats. I hate when you just start getting real PT you get bumped up to a bench role in AAA. So once I got the guy good enough in AA I went through the rest of the game doing all their lame goals. Don’t think I failed any of the goals at the ML level. I dunno, was frustrating at the time because you do invest alot of time in the thing. It was fun while it lasted.
The Show alone had made the PS3 a more than worthwhile purchase for me.
Even forgetting everything else that’s out for it.
Can’t wait to get my copy in March.

These stats extend to actual minor league players from Class AAA to short season minor league systems; due to MLBPA agreements, the players are not identified by name. Players also have personality ratings as well.

the most important thing is that when things get really bad and the world looks its darkest, you just have to throw up your hands and say “Well, all right!” Because it’s probably gonna get a whole hell of a lot worse.

Although looking at some cursory reviews
it doesn’t look promising.
The top spot on my GameFly queue was about all I was willing to invest.
I get bored with sim games anyway, and this doesn’t appear to be a stellar one, but I’ll check it out.
Yeah, I haven't heard good things
Which is terrible.. Because I REALLY want to love the game – but at this point I am questioning even renting it. I have OOTP9 and that oughta hold me over. Now, if 2k9 is terrible – I might really be up the creek..

Speaking of ST
Larry Stone has popped up a blog note about nervous FA players watching the countdown to ST grow shorter
Where the hell has Baker been?
It’s like Stone is running that blog now… not that I’m complaining.
Yes
Our #2 overall pick is protected, but our picks after that aren’t.
He's suggesting that this is enough reason for all these unsigned FA, that and to a lesser extent the economy.
That economic theory, starting to pop up like global warming comments whenever there’s a flood, but I digress.
I’m leaning towards a hypothesis involving more of a shift in baseball philosophy, that being the major cause of these guys not being picked up. Moving away from the old proven veteran guy to the younger upside player model.
I think teams have been moving towards more rational valuation of free agents for the past several years.
I think it seems kind of sudden, and I think the economy does have something to do with it; players with all-hit, no defense skillsets would have been properly valued (or closer to it) eventually, but the economy has given teams less incentive to take risks in the interest of making a splash.

Or more specifcally, teams are hesitant to take on high-risk moves
it’s safe to say that a certain right handed pitcher on our team would be a good deal less rich had he come into the big leagues a year later

Was the Type A draft pick compensation a deal the player's union wanted?
Seems like it’s biting them in the ass, as far the veteran FA signing are going this year. Was that something they wanted, or the owners?
No off-topic for the 28th?
Wonder if I should throw one up. I don’t really have anything to talk about though.
