Wednesday morning notes
- Good god was the Wisconsin basketball game a disaster. A loss like that can really set a program back. Thank Jebus I had to go into work last night and missed most of it on TV. Watching that entire game could have been the worst two hours of television that I would have had to endure for my entire life. Every possession was a one and done or a turnover. Man, all I hope when Wisconsin plays a high profile program is that they are able to make a good showing and that was about the worst effort I’ve ever seen from a Bo Ryan coached team. It’s easy to see that Duke has 8-McDonald’s All-American’s on their team as every single player that came up the court owned the Badgers today. Man…
- It’s not very often that you hear a gaming scoop on the Howard Stern show, but yesterday morning Artie Lange stated that he was going to make some easy money doing a recording session for a video game. He said he’d be playing a character called Big Al in the newest Leisure Suit Larry game. Howard seemed to think that the Leisure Suit Larry games were very popular… and perhaps they were…. in the late 80’s and early 90’s. What really got me was the fact that Artie said he was going to make, in 4 hours, what a 20 year old would make in a year. So, what do you figure? 25 grand? Crazy.
- I haven’t watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force in a while, but the guys over at EDSBS posted a clip that has to do with the BCS that is terrific. Oh, and there are some good digs in at the Giants as well…
- I think I’ve missed out on the whole social networking aspect of the internet. I’m completely unaware of things like Myspace and Facebook, so the fact that the Xbox’s next update includes a feature where you can view the people that are on your friends’ friends lists just seems absolutely stupid to me. If you head over to this page, you can decide who will be able to view this information on your friends list. Of course, it doesn’t seem to hold whatever setting I choose… so I guess you’ll see my friend Tony on my friends list soon.
- I spun up ESPN NFL 2K5 earlier tonight and saw that there were people online playing the game, so the system is clearly still working. A few things to note. When you sign onto Live from NFL2K5, you will have to download an ‘old’ Xbox Live update, which works fine. If the system asks you to view your Xbox Live messages though, don’t do it. It’ll kick you out of the game.
