Boris are fun. Any Opeth fans out there?

I keep hearing great things. Where should I start?

Either Still Life or Blackwater Park. Although they have a consistently good catalogue.

Let's see what my friend Torrent has to offer...

Goblin Cock, yes of the Goblin Cock burger, is playing at the Empty Bottle on Wednesday.

Mastodon has a burger, too.

Ooooh, the Brewers offseason gets worse all the time.

Now who gets to handle Pat's potty breaks?

WGN Radio had some feelers out on the radio trade sites a couple weeks ago in case this happened...

The address listed to send the materials to was:

Dave Eanet
Sports Director
WGN Radio
435 N. Michigan Avenue
Chicago, IL 60611

Surely you're actually sending them your shit and not simply posting the address, waiting for encouragement.

Wow, this thread got very un-metal very quick.

Anyone else ever listened to Mastodon?

How about Boris? Japanese metal.

Yeah, I noticed they fucked up the end-of-game animations for everyone but the on-field players.  The on-deck batter was still taking practice swings after the final out, too.  Hopefully, that's something that gets ironed out.  If not, I'll just close my eyes after the final out.

I was reading a thread where someone was complaining about the lack of cool double play animations. Then he was shown a link to a developer Q&A saying that these videos are from the beta version. The beta version doesn't have a lot of the animations in it. This wasn't enough to keep him from becoming very worried.

Very worried, indeed.

On that same theme, if you watch the Pirates vs. Rockies video - after the Rockies win the game you see Ian Stewart throwing up his arms in disgust from the dugout and looking at the sky. Turns out he hit a pinch hit grand slam in that game. Apparently he wanted to lose? I thought it was pretty amusing.

Wow, Landry's band is AWESOME. I hope they show more of that. I love this kid.

I choose to believe in a god, but not necessarily The God.

What sort?

The most delicious kind there is...

I was inspired by his noodly appendage.

If you get all fussy over saying/hearing two words, then please lighten up a little.

Fuck you.

Always an intelligent response.

Was this redundant?

Oh dude, he totally fell into your trap. How often does that happen? You set it up and it worked to perfection.

Totally, dude. 10 on the richter scale, man

That's 8 words.  Or 7 words and one number.

Technically, isn't it two numbers?  Wrap your noodle around that.  Your brain, not your weiner.

All those words that you just wrote, they offend me. I choose not to read them.

I tell you, if this country e'er mentions anything to do with religion again, I will be horribly offended. Hell, they should change the money, too. "In God We Trust." What if I don't trust in God?!?! Have they ever though about MY rights? About my feelings? Shit. Can a guy go anywhere in this country and not have Christianity shoved down his throat?

Wilmette, represent.

McCamey says what?

Thanks Kerm. I'm going to stay off in these fringier threads where it's safe.

No problem.  I get the impression that this game is going to be far from perfect, but it's going to look pretty, have much-improved hitting, and Thorne will be excellent.  If that's the case, it'll last me through the summer.  There have been hints that VC has made some significant changes to Franchise Mode, but they haven't said what those changes are yet.  I'll be interested to see if we get any info on that this week.

One thing I noticed, as I get my nerd on, is the final MLB.com screen from the day before the fake one-game playoff between Tampa and Boston was all the same story posted about every single season series and how it ended. That was dumb. I hope that doesn't happen.

The NBA.com news screen (granted I'm only 3/4 through my first season) has been extremely varied and very, very cool. For example, they'll do "Oden's career high 22 rebounds helps Blazers beat Clippers" or "CP3's 26 points leads Hornets past Warriors". Those are awesome and varied enough to keep it interesting. They also sprinkle in semi-randomly generated trade rumors up until the deadline, injury reports, power rankings and other statistical achievements. It's a very cool way to keep you feeling like there is a world going on outside of the team you run with.

Hopefully they made it even cooler for the MLB version.

Thanks Kerm. I'm going to stay off in these fringier threads where it's safe.
