The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

Late Thursday night notes

- I just was looking in my Netflix queue and saw that Woody Allen's 'What's Up Tiger Lily?' is available. I haven't seen that movie in years. What a coup to have it on Netflix. If you're a fan of MST3K, you owe it to yourself and watch it.

- I played through the NHL 10 demo earlier tonight and I have to say that I love the addition of board play. The only options you ever really had to control play before was to try and skate around in a circle... I really like how it played out in my early time with it though.

You also have the option to try out the first person fighting mode in the demo. I don't know if it has as much depth as I would like, but it's not bad. I'd love the option to pull the sweater over the head and 'go to town,' but it is the first edition of the first person fighting engine.

One thing I was disappointed in was the fact that the demo is restricted to only to skater control. I was really interested in seeing the new goalie controls that I heard about in the interview in the last podcast. Oh, well. I guess I'll be seeing how it turns out in the retail version soon enough.

- Not really sure on the timeline for the podcast for this weekend, hopefully we'll have something up on Sunday night.

- Still looking for a few more participants for the fantasy league. Still a few weeks to go, but I'd like to see it all filled up in case we need to make some changes.

- Ok, I can't really believe this but they're going to run the Vikings preseason game on local TV here tomorrow night. Ugh.
